The real achievement is the translation of economic growth into human development.
Always best to accept harsh truth rather than living false imaginary world
First intellectual person from Pakistan
I am very anxious to know about the economy of Pakistan. Thanks this forum for arranging such types of programs.
❤
This is man is absolutely spot on. He has the courage to speak the truth.
❤
Surprised to hear a word "SCREWED " from Dr. Zaidi.
Excellent discussion.
We have maintained a predilection not to resole our plaguing issues but to seek aid from others like, in past, the US, the UK and KSA, and now China.
Dr. Fahr Ali & Dr Akber Thanks for your talk with extensive research background, it was understandable and informative and objective.
Being from Central Punjab i will agree that inside Punjab and Pakistan poor areas should get more amount from Federal government, & Provincial R&D should get more and active millitary strength should be decrease and Defence R&D should be focus and police advancement and Political stability for further stability and development in my opinion.
Accepting defeat is always a sign of courageous warrior. When India lose in 1962 they accept it and now see China is moving back now. Pakistan propagates a blunt lie for political reasons and see their country
When you have an active opposition it is an manifestation of a vibrant democracy, because they vie for the portfolio that induce them to work for public
America has been the greatest aid-giver to Pakistan.
Good discussion.... Its progressing ..that is good for India
....
There has been an elite consensus among leaders of many countries like Japan, Brazil and Nigeria even India that they are ready to rethink their economic policies.
Legend
nice lecturer
Futuristic approach is missing. Solution must also have been this talk. Missed many issues plaguing the country.
Poverty has taken a dramatic decline in South Asia including Pakistan. But, inequality has witnessed a corresponding increment. So political leadership need to consider equitable distribution. Women, Region
Need these slides
1:24:33 tech people of T2F should take note of this. His voice has disappeared.
The military institution has helped their country, but after give assistance, they hand over the responsibility to civil administration.
Does any one has the book of Abkar Zaidi? Book name is: Issues in Pakistan Economy.
Yes i have
Sure bro
regional economic integraion. one of the political economic solution to Pakistan Political economic integration with India
Pure negativity regurgitated! But, nyc job by Dr. Fahad Ali.
Dr. Rizvi is eloquent, logical and intelligent. The other gentlemen unfortunately dampened an excellent discourse.
Most intellectuals know that there are too many sacred cows that are either willing or naively contributing to economic stagnation, inequivality and alienation of citizens. Zamidars, industrialists, politicians, and establishment more than others are playing a game of chicken with the nation expecting the other to offer up their spoils and space first, and in the process marginalizing intellect and promoting partisanship.
We collaborated with a foreign power to aid in conducting several thousand raids in KPK province; we let Mr. Zardari plunder the province of Sindh for 3 decades; the establishment empowered and then dethroned the foreign entity of MQM to rob and molest citizenry of Karachi, the largest producer of income tax in Pakistan, for a quarter of a century; and we orphaned the province of Baluchistan since inception.
A blind man in a cave can see that this union exists because the citizens of Pakistan are unlettered, poor and weak to address this inequality. Not if, but when the avalanche of discontent rolls, it would be a repeat of Bangladesh phenomena.
Dr. Rizvi - thank you for sharing your thoughts. I love to listen to you.
Ectera Ectera Ectera Ectera Ectera Ectera Ectera Ectera Ectera Ectera Ectera .....
Only 16 Comments, most of these comments are from Non-Pakistanis including Indians. So much for Intilegencia of Pakistan. No Pakistani seems to be interested in factual, intelligent dialogue.
Indians feel satisfied to hear anything negative about Pakistan,you are obsessed with us
@@AliHassan-hh1db we are not, the fucked up Pakistan talk daily about Indian Kashmir. We are living in your mind 24/7
Does anyone know what video he's talking about at 3:48
..
He's talking about the "Apnay Ulloo" song, showing the mess created by people in Pakistan.
Unless you abolish Jamindari system, nothing will happen !! Politically, one elite will simply replace the another with no threat of competition from commoners. Introduce land ceiling !!
Develop good, non interfering, trading relationship with all your neighbours without exception!!
Improve your foreign policy
Correct ward Zamidaari , Urdu is indian language
So true, the zamindar system is the worst thing that happened to the Indian subcontinent.
20000 views .... probably 30 percent from India... what pakistani learnt just nothing
I heard him last day speaking something about cutting defense budget. The so called intellectual works in America and definitely have no insight to ground reality that why we need to spend so much on our defense. I am not an economist but at least a patriotic Pakistani. My advise to Mr. Intellectual is that instead of working in America he should work in India with a Pakistani background and then he probably would be able to understand the fact about keeping defense budget. He was giving example of Bangladesh that how it emerged successfully, but he forgets to tell our young audience that what price Bangadeshi people are paying for this outcome. Are you a nation like bangalees who have no self-respect. There are the peethos of India.Mr. Zaidi, Is this the only way forward for success, then my dear, you're an absolute goof. You sleep calmly in a bloody air conditioned room with an army of servants working at your home serving you and your family and take money by giving such irresponsible views. Mr. Zaidi, I ask you, have you ever listened or watched videos of our brave soldiers who are sacrificing their lives just to protect bastards like you. Go to youtube and watch a latest seffee video of our Brave Jan Mohammad who laid his life for our safety and surely I will not let you speak a single bloody word against my Army. if you dont agee you live where your are treated like a third citizen. By the way, what kind of an economist are you? Did China role back its army just to get financial stability. Its a bloody superpower. What we need is that we should upgrade our moral character as a nation. Pakistan lost its credibility because in the past, economists like you pleased the corrupt political leadership and did not make any substantial polices that could lead to the path of prosperity with dignity. There was this name which people like you do not even mention him as he was a visionary economist not like you who have their own American agenda to somehow sabotage the brave Pakistan Army. Did Honorable Dr. Mahboob ul Haq suggested a cut in Army budget. At least to my knowledge no. He proposed something which was not acceptable to this corrupt ruling elite including these bureaucrats, technocrats and politicians. In the last my advise to those who call guys like Mr. Zaidi to these forums that please Allah kay wastay, do not call such people. Our youth has already been distracted a lot and we cannot afford any further deterioration in their moral upbringing.
How Bengalis have no self respect and how are they paying heavily?
