Follow me my people, for i
take you to the times primordial. Saga of homo sapiens and their evolution owes
it all to the tetra assortment of air ,earth, fire and water. Let the focus be
water, and i dare say that failing exploit this prezzie of nature, we would
have long been dumped in the dustbin of history along with the fellows we
commemorate in Jurassik Park. Scan the
history, from antiquity to this very moment, human beings gathered, lived and
flourished wherever they found water. May it be the Indus-Sarasvati
civilization or the East African Nile valley civilization, it was water the
ultimate virtue, that came out to be the ultimate guarantee civilizations
looked for survival. These were always
the rivers , may it be Nile , Indus,
Tigris or Euphrates, on whose banks grandeur of the civilizations saw its boom. Switching to the times very recent, We the
inhabitants of the country which happens to put on the tag of agrarian society
on its worthy green face sit on the richest
of hydal resources available to any other nation. But the irony lies in
the fact that wheat and flour sometimes
is something scarce to find. I have been listening to the epic tales of Panjnad
and it gets hard for me to buy the situation once provinces are haggling and
politicians are ranting over the kiosks of water being distributed to
provinces. Boasting the might and capacities of Manglas and Terbelas have
resulted in the load shedding which spans over 20 hrs a day in rural areas.
Long chanted Faisalabad, Manchester of
Pakistan as we call it, is the mother of joblessness courtesy the load
shedding, the policy makers and their economic wisdom. Situation gets more perplexed once we observe
that in a same very country few parts fight the flood catastrophe and not very far I listen to incessant sigh
from drought stricken Cholistan and Balochistan. Badshaho!!! Build the dams for god sake.
