The need for an internal dialogue

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.
