Dr. Allama Iqbal once said, “Vision without power does bring moral elevation but cannot give a lasting culture.” This statement will become clear as you read through this blog. The most high-profile case in Pakistan in the 21st century has been that of Aafia Siddiqui. We hear news about her case every few years, and we will continue to do so. You may already know something about Aafia Siddique, but today we will discuss a report by Declan Walsh. If you do not know Declan Walsh, he is currently the Chief Africa Correspondent for The New York Times. Before that, he was associated with The Guardian from 2003 to 2011, covering South Asian affairs. In 2012, he became the Pakistan Bureau Chief for The New York Times but was deported before the 2013 elections because some powerful figures in Pakistan were unhappy with his reporting.

  Growing up in Pakistan, I saw a big difference between our schools and India's. Even though both countries started out the same way, India is now a very strong economy worldwide, while Pakistan has some problems. This article talks about what made India so successful. We'll look at how education, thinking differently, and social media helped India achieve its goals. I was born in the early years of the 21st century and started school in 2007.

When I completed my secondary education (matriculation), we were still unclear about how to pursue these careers. Was it a failure of the education system or simply our lack of awareness?
