In the annals of history, we often find ourselves enamored by the concept of inevitable progress and a linear path toward a brighter future. As we observe our nation’s history, we can identify moments of enlightenment. We need to recognize our distinct circumstances and seek tailored approaches to address our specific issues effectively. Pakistan’s journey as a nation, marked by struggles and successes, requires a critical reevaluation of the once unwavering faith in linear progress and historical determinism. Instead, by embracing a nuanced understanding of our past and forging tailored approaches, we have the opportunity to shape a brighter and more sustainable future, uniquely suited to our nation’s distinct circumstances.
