"Explosion is very essential"

For decades during the campaign for birth control in Pakistan, the phrase "a gap [in child birth] is very essential" became very popular. This has been replaced today by the slogan "an explosion is very essential".

These days modern slogans are imported from outside and they are commercialised for vested interests. After receiving a bloody nose from their experience in Vietnam the West invented the new instruments of NGOs to penetrate the internal affairs of other countries (because the thief can obtain from theft but never gives up the fraudulent psyche of embezzlement).

The slogan of "a gap is very essential" came with a package of foreign aid via the NGOs dealing with birth control. Pakistan's melody queen, Noor jehan, who herself is not very convinced about these 'gaps', set this slogan to a scintillating musical tune and made it a national song. This song has now been converted by nuclear explosion lovers into the slogan "an explosion is very essential", which for the time being has become the heart throb of a primitive section of the people.

It is not ruled out that to soothe these heartbeats this explosion could be carried out. And this same Government, which claims its heavy mandate is based on an agenda of resolving the issues with India in a conciliatory and amicable manner, is now playing to an agenda of fireworks. This could land it into even tougher economic and trade sanctions than those faced by Iran and Iraq. It will become very difficult for Sartaj Aziz the finance minister even to pay the salaries of his own bureaucracy.

The ignorant and emotional 'explosion lovers' consider the detonation of a nuclear explosion as if it were a fireworks display on the occasion of marriages and other festivities. They simply want to enjoy it. They are ignorant of the effects of the radiation from the blast. Not only will it drastically effect the environment etc, but further severely damage the crisis ridden economy. This confusion of the 'explosion lovers' is further perpetuated by the black economy. The black economy catches this fish of vested interest in polluted waters, and pollutes these same waters in order to catch the fish.

Not only Pakistan but every country in the world including Sikkim and Bhutan should have the right to utilise the energy of the atom. As every country should have access to penicillin. But this energy, like other forms of energy, should be utilised for the improvement of human life, not for the purpose of terrorising and exploiting peoples and countries. Nuclear energy should produce cheap electricity, run factories and industries, reduce the price of essential commodities and expand facilities for health and education. Instead of destruction, light should glow and spread. In place of subversion, constructive activities should expand. The cheeks of children should have a healthy reddish glow, the eyes of youth should sparkle, the old and the deprived should have comfort and fulfilment of the needs of life.

However, this worst form of exploitative system, Capitalism, its racist-politics, the monopolies of the dominant Imperial powers, the debt-ridden economies, and a society of want and dearth, make it impossible to achieve such human grace and decency. This question does not arise in the economy of the market or bazaar, which cannot accept that any thought other than the profit of the shopkeeper can ever cross human minds.

How can the interests of the hunter and its prey be reconciled? How can the peaceful co-existence between the tyrant and those tyrannised last? If cats started to wear gloves they would starve to death. If the falcon felt sympathy for the pigeon, he would become a vulture, and live on the flesh of deceased animals.

If human beings are the highest form of life, then they should also have the highest form of economy, where all nations and peoples should enjoy equal opportunity and availability of the facilities created by human labour, science and technique. They should also have equal privileges. No nation should vanquish another. No nation should have to fear the threats of another. The concept of some superpower or world force should be eliminated once and for all. All the resources of the world should be utilised for all the people of the planet. The collective efforts of all humankind should be concentrated on the elimination of poverty, ignorance, hunger and disease from the planet. All the people of the world should have equal opportunities to benefit from the invention and discoveries of our times, of this epoch

These are not insane dreams, nor the dreams of insanity. These are the inevitable products of the highest peak of human development. Every human being should receive according to his/her labour and need. The obstacles and hindrances of inheritance and private ownership should be eliminated. All walled boundaries and frontiers should be abrogated and done away with. The rivers of flowing milk and honey should be the property of no-one. They should be collectively utilised by all mankind. The concept of creating heaven on earth is not an ³utopia² but the inevitable destiny of humanity. Man will create this destiny with his own hands. The time is not far away when this dream will turn into reality and the concept of human emancipation will come to life. Those who are creating these weapons of mass destruction the world over, are laying the seeds of devastation in the foundations of their system. They are fast moving to bring their doomsday closer, the day when all their acts will be accounted for. The oppressed will arise and mankind will flourish.
