Problems Faced by Pakistan
PROBLEMS FACED BY PAKISTAN,RECOMMENDATION FOR ITS SOLUTION

INTRODUCTION:
In the context of Pakistan, owing to the fact that it is a developing nation, there is no wonder that it is engulfed with a number of social and economical problems. The real issue is not the presence of these problems in society because, there is no concept of an ideal society in the world. Every country in the world has its own set of socio-economic problems. The main issue is the extent and intensity of the socio-economic problems of Pakistan which have soared to alarming levels.
Pakistan is today facing the most critical problems of its history. Economy is terrible, law & order is deteriorating, shortage of water, electricity and other necessities are clearly vanishing. The number of unemployed youth is rising at an alarming rate in the country. The country is facing a complex multi-dimensional governance crisis. Corruption and the bad governance is order of the day. Let us discuss briefly some major social and economic problems that are of serious concern for social scientists and political economists.

Social Problems
Pakistan has been facing a lot of social problems since its inception in 1947. In the start there were the problems of lack of funds, rehabilitation of refugees, poor infrastructure and widespread poverty of masses but they grew with the passage of time and became social evils.

At present the gravest problem that Pakistan is facing is its precarious law and order condition. People have become numerical figures, blown up in numbers every now and then. Terrorists have not spared any place. Bazars, mosques, educational institutes, offices, hotels- you name it and the place is not safe any more.

Besides terrorism there are other social problems which are older and more widespread. The biggest of these problems is poverty. 70% population of Pakistan lives in villages. Most of them don’t have access to adequate basic needs of life. They are struggling for bread and butter.

    Now there is no doubt that Willy is clearly mentally ill from the beginning of this play but one as to wonder; is Biff right by saying that Willy "never knew who he was" (Miller 991), or did Willy create a false sense of reality as a means to escape? While hallucinations are a strong sign of schizophrenia there is also something known as psychosis. Psychosis is an impaired state of reality that can be brought on by a multitude of things- from lack of sleep to actual brain diseases. Thus the curiosity of Willy's mental state. Perhaps he was just so unhappy with what his life had become that altering his reality was simply a means to cope.…

    The Pakistan Army is at war with its own people in Balochistan and FATA. The fragmented Pakistan with internal weakness and external threats is unable to refuse the Americans Orders, to get its legitimate right of Kashmir, to secure its borders with Afghanistan. Foreign investors, especially the overseas Pakistanis are examining the fear factors in opening new ventures due to corrupt financial institutions and violent groups. Consequently the vicious circle of poverty expands aggravating the already inflamed situation. The secret agencies of enemy countries find local terrorists to disrupt the system. Under the thick air of jealousy, non construction of Big dams is pushing the country into dark ages. A common citizen, suffers worst type of corruption and thus is uninterested in paying taxes. Social values, crime rate, and national patriotism, religious satisfaction are fast disappearing with growing poverty.

    These views of experts cannot be wished away since weak health of the economy is being mirrored by withering economic indicators, such as low Gross Domestic Product (GDP) due to very low annual growth rate of our economy (2%), rising fiscal deficit (5.8% of total size of economy), inflation (15%), lowest tax to GDP ratio in the world (9%), rise in foreign debts and government’s internal borrowings from the State Bank, rupee losing its value against dollar consistently, government’s failure in collecting taxes and utility bills and increasing poverty (40% people in Pakistan are living under poverty line). With these deteriorating indicators, in fact the economy would have gone down much earlier had the situation not been improved by rising foreign remittances, good agricultural output and favourable balance of payments based on increased exports and reduced requirement of imports. Fears of collapse of Pakistan’s economy notwithstanding, the deteriorating economic indicators suggest that immediate danger to Pakistan’s integrity is not from any other internal or external threat but from impending meltdown of its economy. Because, meltdown of economy causes crumbling of state institutions, breakdown of market mechanism/food shortage and resultant internal law and order situation of immense proportion escalating to civil war which may get beyond control of even state security apparatus which in such times is itself in danger of disintegration as members of security forces and their families are also hit…
