The purpose of this site is to
facilitate a dialogue in redeeming Pakistan for the good of her people (all
people), her neighbors, and the world.
There is a Jinnah, Gandhi, MLK and Mandela sitting in you; all you
have to do is remember that God (goodness) was the only thing with them in the
beginning. They believed in making a difference and they did. They succeeded because they were not looking for anything to gain themselves and you can succeed if you have no other motive than seeing a better nation. Can you do it? Yes you can! there is always lakhon me eik.
Tou shaheen
hay parvaz hay kam tera
Taray samnay aasman aor bhe hain
Taray samnay aasman aor bhe hain
Pakistanis together can work on this, gradually ideas may develop
and solutions will appear, each one of you can take off or work together.
Goethe, "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy... Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.… Whatever you can do or dream that you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."

Ramadan must have empowered you with Taqwa - God like qualities - justice, fairness, kindness, merciful, equal treatment, equal opportunity, non-discriminatory with equal space for all.
For Muslim Pakistanis, let Prophet’s advice guide this venture - think for your brother
what you want for yourselves. For Christian Pakistanis, "do it for others, what you want others to do for you" and for Hindu Pakistanis let the idea of " Vasudaiva Kutumbukum" be the guidance. For Ahmadiyya, Sikh, Buddhists, Zoroastrians and others, they all have guidance of golden rule to follow.
The civility of a nation is defined by how a minority feels towards majority - Zero fear is God's will, scared to death is Satan's will, humanity will be somewhere in between where no Pakistani has to live in apprehension, discomfort or fear of the other.
Everyone is in this together with no barriers. A member of each community listed below is requested to be a participant on the panel, provided they understand the pledge to Pakistan listed at: http://redeemingpakistan.blogspot.com/2012/08/pledge-to-pakistan.html. The pledge is applicable only to the Pakistani participants.
Whatever you choose to write, make sure, this would be acceptable to every Pakistani.

A PLEDGE TO PAKISTAN
Patriotism should be defined in terms of what you do to uplift the hopes of
people, in terms of education to all, jobs to as many as you can in each
successive year, home for every human, and a better life style for every Pakistani.
Eventually, perhaps on August 14, 2022, every public office holder from the Peon to the President of PAKSITAN, and every one in between must take this pledge and live by it. Violation should disqualify him or her from holding the public office. Let it be monitored
publicly.
- I pledge allegiance to Pakistan, the nation that stands for liberty and justice for all.
- I pledge that I honor and treat every Pakistani with "full" dignity.
- I pledge that all individuals would be treated on par.
- I pledge that I will treat all religions with equal respect, equal access and equal treatment.
- I pledge that I will oppose any act that treats any Pakistani less than myself.
- I Pledge that I will work for a Pakistan, where every individual can live with security and aspire for prosperity.
- I pledge that I will protect, preserve and value every inch of Pakistan and every human soul in Pakistan.
Pakistan, that can sustain its progress and peace.
