I am not sure if you are talking in General, or about Pakistan. I assume your argument is mostly about aristocrats in Pakistan.

We were a British Colony for a very long time. After the Independence, instead of creating our own system, we just adopted British System. This resulted in the creation of this class mentioned above. British looked down on Indian people. After they were gone, the class that took over inherited that very characteristics.

Its very unfortunate that the curriculum that is being taught in these institutes still consists of British era reminents. These people think of themselves as the ruler, and not the servants of the people who pay their salaries (aka ordinary tax payers)

no em not talking abt pakistan,
it's in general.

yar herat ki baat yeh hai k aise log saari dunya mei hote hein but after living for more than 15 yrs in France i hardly met 3 or 4 ppl with this mentality

par Pak mei harrrr baar aise dher log milte hein



agree to sharmili
we simply adopted the British aristocrate system
but WHY

I have come across people in US who have this mentality. Think of hollywood stars. yup, you know what i am talking about

Pakistanis adopted british system, because it benefited the people who were the "ruling party". Mr Jinnah wanted to change it, but he died soon after the birth of the country. For crying out loud, the country did not have a constitution until it was divided into two parts.

i doubt the statement that jinnah wanted to change that system,he himself was a product of the same system.and we cant put all the blame on brits,we have always had our own aristocrats,our caliphs,the ummaya and abbasi dynasties,moghul emperors,their courtmen,our present rulers...infact when i read tasha's post i thought she was talking about mushi dear

being product of a system doesnt mean that u cant change things,,
we cant put ALL the blame on brits but we cant ignore that they encouraged and in a way made our present feudal system

a special class mentality is not a big pb in itself,, it exists/existed everywhere
the pb is an important number of ppl beleiving in it + and willing to b part of it

y I cant belong to a vv rich elite family and simply behave myself

when i say that i belong to a v v rich,elite family i'm not simply being myself,i'm showing off and this is a sign of special class mentality.jinnah was in my opinion the greatest leader we ever had after the four pious caliphs but he never once expressed his intentions to do awy with british system just because the system was perfect,the same system worked tremandously well in hong kong till 1999.it is still going well in india,sri lanka and bangla desh.whats wrong with pakistan?

Inida changed the system right after Independence (for the most).

Look at what is going o nin Bangladesh, Sri Lanka. The system is not working there either. The sytem was designed to rule a colony. It was not designed to run a govt elected by people.

well may be.
i dont have much to say at the moment
