![civilized nation](https://how2havefun.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/civilized-nation-1-jpg.webp)
Present-day Pakistan has miles to go before it can be safely called a civilized nation, let alone a Civilizational State like its parent, the Indus Valley Civilization.

ToggleWhat went wrong in Pakistan?
Since Pakistanās evolutionary process has remained stunted by repeated military coups and wars, the depth of research, experience, political continuity, and wealth necessary to reach the jump-ramp of a civilizational state never came to be.

What is the meaning of a ācivilized nationā?
A civilized nation is defined as an internationally recognized geographical entity that,
- Incrementally reaches significant urbanization,
- Social and professional stratification,
- The luxury of leisure time, and
- Advancements in arts
- Advancement in Sciences
This is also referred to as an advanced culture.
The Muslim Mughal Empire, Pakistanās spiritual guide, was very close to being called a civilization, with the exception of democratic continuity ā and that led to its eventual demise.
Meaning of Civility, Justice, and the Rule of Law
Being civilized is synonymous with civilitƩ in French jurisprudence, meaning thereby
- Law and order,
- Government and
- Administration enforced by a legitimate government to protect the vulnerable from the powerful.
In Pakistan, the powerful protect themselves from the weak hordes through ridiculous laws.
- See, Quaid e Azam Quotes
International Principles of Fairness and Justice
Article 38 of International court of justice statutes on the principle of law recognized by civilized nations includes principles of fairness and justice like
- Laches,
- Good faith,
- Res judicata,
These principles give a reasonable opportunity for justice in society to all its inhabitants, irrespective of caste, color, creed, gender, or faith ā that has never happened.
None of these is truly practiced in the poor quality judicial institution of Pakistan.
āDoctrine of Necessityā is a documented clause in Pakistani jurisprudence that essentially means to bend Laws to accommodate the powerful.

Pakistan as a civilized nation
Simple things like not having enough political will to build national parks, like Civilization 6 suggests is enough to make you realize what all is lacking inside Pakistan.
Professionalism in Pakistan
A civilized nation has professionals minding their own job and the system giving them an incentive to excel in their chosen field.
Pakistani people have so many unproductive distractions that they are interested in everything, except their own assigned job.
Brutalized Pakistani Society
To be civilized is to never have to use force with your population, as only political means should theoretically be enough to resolve irritants.
Pakistanis exercising their human right have been whipping, extra-judicially killed, jailed, and outright murdered by regressive groups.
Severely vulnerable State of Pakistan
Then civilized nations are invulnerable to outside pressure, as they incubate excellence in their people to find solutions in-house.
This happens when their people have empowerment, high-quality education, skill, sufficient wealth, health, the right to choose a sexual partner, and food.
Pakistan has none of these attributes.
Pakistanās incorrect inspiration
Civilized nations, self-correct through their institutions and seek inspiration from other civilized countries.
Pakistan elite till recently identified with Arab despotic nations.
Pakistanās experimentation with religion
Civilization is when the people realize that religion is a means to their personal happiness and becomes toxic when it is ritualized through the government.
Pakistani establishment doesnāt have the faintest idea of what I have just said and is deliberately exploitative through religion.
Pakistanās contribution to the World
A country is civilized when its people contribute to the worldās body of knowledge through research that betters peopleās lives and makes the earth more livable.
Ā Pakistani elite doesnāt believe they need to be part of a global community, otherwise, there will be accountability ā which they abhor.
Ā The apathy towards research on society and the environment is criminal.
- āNo idea single idea has been more important thanā¦ the idea of progress in western civilization for nearly three thousand yearsā Robert Nisbet.
Liberty, Justice, Equality, and community are a close second.
Pakistan has none of the above, except maybe insular communities.

Pakistanās end product is defective
People categorize civilized countries through their end product ā their people.
Pakistan is producing bigoted, untrustworthy, partially literate, frustrated, unskilled, misogynistic men whose only purpose in life is to dominate and exploit women and others.
Ā A āgood livingā has never been taught to Pakistanis.
Elite Capture in Pakistan
Pakistan will be considered civilized when the ruling elite lets go of the ācaptureā of the countryās resources and institutions so that they start working for the people instead.
A recent study shows that elite capture consumes $17.5 Billion a year in Pakistan.
This can only happen through the continuation of constitutional democracy which brings accountability.
A self-reliant Pakistan
The global community will consider Pakistan civilized when it produces its own food, weapons of war, dual used technologies, and health products and joins the race the galaxy.
Ā Pakistan has yet to give governing powers to local bodies in towns and cities. Space is a pipe dream.
The finer aspects of life in Pakistan
Pakistani people will be considered civilized when they start appreciating this wonderful gift of life, the earth, music, song, dance, beauty, poetry, and the finer arts and not to pine for the afterlife.
In Pakistan, the education system teaches kids not to question anything.

Why Pakistan is not considered Civilized?
No one respects a country that is being run from one office with all the powers.
Countries like that are perpetually vulnerable and are consider barbaric, backward, unpowered, and weak.
Pakistanās civilizational weakness is its democratic political institution.
- āWould Greece have borne a Thucydides, a Plato, an Aristotle, or Rome, Horace, Cicero, Virgil, and Livy, if these states have not risen to those heights of Political achievements?ā Friedrich Von Schiller
My point is that the world is not the enemy of Pakistani people, itās our mafia-like elite that holds the weak ransom for privilegesā from other countries.
Is Pakistan a basket case?
Not everything is lost, Pakistan still has a very strong case of becoming not only civilized but also a āCivilization stateā based on its geography.
- A civilization state is a complex society that is characterized by urban development, social stratification, and wealth, a form of government, advanced communication, and military reach.
For that to happen, Pakistan needs to build political institutions.
Civilization states have roots in their well-established ancestorās ways.
Ā Pakistan needs to base its trajectory on the Indus valley civilization which forms the broad contours of this nation-state.
Indus Valley Civilization and Pakistan

Back in those days, Ancient Indus Valley a little deeper into North-East, South-Eastern India, and Afghanistan towards the West.
When Pakistan roots its existence in its genuine heritage and history, the larger questions of foreign policy and conflicts, like the ones with Afghanistan, Iran, and India will naturally find a solution.

What is a Civilized society and how to build one?
Protect political institutions, spend money on personal freedom, human rights, rule of law, character building, values, and achievements over wealth, competence, respect of less able, and finer arts.
- āA savage tribe consists of a handful of individuals, wandering thinly scattered over a vast tract of country; there is no commerce, no manufacturing, no agriculture, or next to noneā¦ each person shifts for himself; in war, we seldom see coordinated operations by the union of many; savages do not find pleasure in each otherās society. Wherever, therefore, we find human beings acting together for common purposes in large bodies, and enjoying the pleasures of social intercourse, we term them civilizedā Mill, 1977

Does this ring a bell in Pakistan?
Conclusion
So, Pakistan is not a civilized nation yet, and if you want Pakistan to stay relevant in the world history and discourse, course correct now, or bear the consequences of your deliberate collective hypocrisy.
