The top most problem for today's world is Capitalism because today every thing in your society is just to give something to the Capitalist system.Take your shopping list before fifty years from today and you will see that a 70% t least things you buy today was not in your shopping list that time.You didn't use shampoo,you didn't use carbonated drinks on your dining table instead you use water only.The problem with capitalism is that capitalism wants uniformity of cultures.Why? because unless from Sydney to Hawaii, same type of burger is not eaten,same type of chicken is not eaten, same type of jeans is not bought,same type of pizza is not eaten and same type of life style is not lived then the capitalist system will not flourish.Once upon a time Karachi i ate burger with 10 Rs,now it is of 20 Rs so why any one will eat the same burger of Rs. 175 from KFC if he will not have the same life style.We bought Jeans of Rs.100 some time back, now we buy it on Rs.500 so why anyone...
He always has a different theory !
The situation of Muslims was the same at time of Allama Iqbal or he just predicted the future by analyzing ? This question always comes to my mind whenever I read Shikwa , Jawab e Shikwa or his any other poetry.
ReplyDeleteAllama iqbal farmate hain ke wo jaga jahan unho ne shikwa aur jawab e shikwa tehreer kiya wahan un per roohani kefiat taari hojaya krti thi ke goya us wakt ke musalmano ke shikwon ka Allah Rab ul Izzat khud jawab dia krte they isi liye ye us wakt ke logo ke liye to thi he aur aj kal ke daur me to buhat zarori hai espacially Pakistan ke Musalmano ke liye.Allam sahab ne isi waja se wasihat ki thi ke unhe us he jaga dafnaya jae aur aj un ka maqbara usi jaga hai jahan jawab e shikwa tehreer kiya gaya tha.

DeleteBesides the poetry contents and its meanings, All the rules and formalities of Urdu poetry are just perfect. look at the flow, balance and simplicity. His poems are still alive and relevant to our present situation. We still have lot to learn from His poetry.
He is a Spiritual Leader for all of us.
Recently I heard on tv, about an Iranian Minister who especially came Pakistan to visit Mazar-e-Iqbal and didn't meet any of the Pakistani officials. People from Turkey and other muslim countries come to Mazar-e-Iqbal to recite 'Fateha'. I feel others value him more than us(the Pakistanis)...
Thanx for Posting this Jwab-e-SHikwa
Yes Khalid , the vision that Allama sahab had at that time is the best , i see this peom as very good suggestion to overcome today's crisis.He wrote poetry just like a painter ...when you see a painter during his painting you will never be able to understand what he wanted to draw but the last stroke of the painter reveals the real drawing out of the painting....so what this poem is all about is revealed in last
