It
is hypothesized that our society is faced with an existential threat. This
threat is embedded in the many problems such as our too much occupation with
historical fallacies, ideological confusion, vicious cycle of economic opportunism
and exploitation, losses of heritage, lack of self rule and self-governance, moral
and intellectual corruptions symbolized in financial corruption and lack of
institutionalized leadership. The worst part of all this is that each one of us
has his/ her own monologue which no one else is listening to.
It
may be relevant that we initiate an internal dialogue with some of the
following constituting points.
·
Internal stability of our society against
sectarian violence.
·
Internalizing the spirit of scientific and
technological understanding.
·
Connecting ourselves to our heritage to
determine what stage of human civilization we are presently in.
·
Chalking out our political economy vis-à-vis regional
and international economic players or polities.
·
Bridging the generation gap between the hitherto
older generation who are fast losing their relevance and our disoriented youth
who are under diverse influences and information.
The
dialogue may be promoted through parliament, political parties, and all
relevant institutions such as media, places of worships and public forums.
