The document discusses the chronic failure of Pakistani provinces in key areas like education, health, and law and order due to issues like provincialism and ethnocentrism. It provides examples of how the education system has deteriorated with increased corruption and politicization of teacher hiring. The police are described as uncommitted to their duties and protecting criminals due to provincial favoritism. Healthcare is also discussed as being in ruins with treatment and admissions based on ethnicity over merit. The overall argument is that provincialism is negatively impacting development and the federal government should increase oversight of provincial performance in key subjects.

1. “Chronic Failure of Provinces, is making Pakistan a Failed State.”<br />Provinces are very proactive in demanding provincial autonomy but their performance in Provincial subjects of Education, Health and Police (Law and Order) is zero and in fact X , In spite of Donations of Billions of Rupees from Federal Government and International Organizations provinces has chronically failed in delivering any thing to common people, It is very important to analyze the performances of provinces in view of continuous deteriorating situation in Pakistan, specially killing of ethnic minorities in Balouchistan province by majority Balouch ethnic group ,denial of rights of Identity and land ownership of ethnic minorities in city of Karachi and province of Sind by majority of Sindhi and Urdu speaking people, the disease of Provincialism and ethnocentrism is spreading and spreading without any stop, the details of disease of Provincialism and ethnocentrism and failure of provinces in serving common citizens with fairness due to Provincialism and ethnocentrism are as follows:Performance of Provinces in the subject of Education:<br />• In Examinations cheating is common.• Even bribe is demanded from position holder’s students from the official of Boards.• Standard of education has been totally destroyed in government’s schools.• Even poor people do not like to admit their children in government schools• Schools have been converted into Otaaqs and leisure rooms of addicted people.• Literacy rate is stagnant from last 25 years.• Teachers are recruited on political and ethnic basis without any merit.• Ghost schools are common without any teaching, fake teachers are gaining salaries.• Practice of molesting innocent children by teachers in government school isCommon.• Citizens and children are denied their right of education on the basis of ethnicity.• On the basis of ethnicity admissions are given in colleges without any merit.<br />Performance of Provinces in the subject of Law and Order (Police):<br />• Provinces are using subject of Police as Jobs Banks for their ethnic and provincial supporters instead of recruiting people on merit for maintaining law and order.• When any person is recruited in police a huge amount of money is taken from that man as bribe.• When any one retires from police department he is required to pay money as bribe for the processing of his pension documents.• Even no proper training is given to policemen for maintaining law and order by provincial governments.• Even no proper training is given to policemen for their own safety by provincial governments.• Policemen are performing their duties without wearing any protective helmets and bullet proof jackets.• Due to provincialism, ethnocentrism and racialism prevailing in structures of provinces, policemen are not committed with their duties and do not have any motivation for prevention of crimes and evils.• Due to provincialism, ethnocentrism and racialism, Policemen are involved just in making money by taking bribes from common and noble people.• Policemen are frightening noble citizens for taking bribes from them, but are friends of criminals involved in narcotics trade, social and immorals crimes.• Due to no commitment with any moral and ethical Ideology and due to disease of provincialism and ethnocentrism, criminals are committing their crimes freely and police Department is totally inefficient in protecting the life and property of people which is obvious from following examples.1) Merciless killing and massacre in Karachi on 12 May 2008, in which police and provincial government were found helping the criminals, and officially no investigation was made by provincial government against such delirious crimes.2) Loot and arson on 27 December 2008, on the day of death of Benazir Bhutto, free hand was given to criminals for each and every type of crime by provincial governments and police and Railway and transport of people of other provinces was main target of these criminals, and later on all cases against these criminals were removed by Chief Minister of Sind.<br />3) 0n 27 December once again police of province failed event to protect the property of people and free hand was given to criminals in committing their crimes.<br />Moreover whenever people ask provincial police to help them as their duty and responsibility police never help to people.<br />In case of snatching a car or Motor cycle when people go for registration of FIR to police, even then police ask for payment of bribe when the person is himself suffering from great trauma.<br />Provincialism is blocking the progress of Pakistani nation and creating problems in the development due to making of decisions on ethnic and racial basis by Provincial governments, These Provincial governments are blocking people’s movement from one place to another place and violating basic right of movement of common people and thus hindering urbanization which is the basis of all developments.<br />Performance of Provinces in the subject of Health:<br />• Hospitals maintained by Provincials Government (such as civil Hospital Karachi) have been converted into ruins.• Admissions in Medical Colleges are given on the basis of Ethnic basis.<br />• Provincial government had established Medical colleges in different cities on ethnic basis.• Medical colleges have become places of promotion of provincialism and ethnocentrism.• Medical Treatment is given to patients in hospitals on the basis of their link with any ethnic or political party and not on the basis of humanity.• Citizens are unable to gain any drugs from hospitals even vaccines are not provided to infants and children for eradication of Diseases.• Due to lack of motivation and any ethical commitment all program of polio and Tuberculosis eradications have failed.• There is no visible program for eradication of HIV, AIDS and Hepatitis.<br />• There is continuous flow of population from India into Pakistan having Diseases like AIDS, HIV, Hepatitis, Swine Flue and Tuberculosis but provincial governments are doing nothing to block or to monitor to people coming from India into Pakistan.<br />• Pakistan is leading country in the world whose population is suffering from Diabetes, Heart Diseases and Tuberculosis but provincial governments visibly are doing nothing for controlling such diseases.• Provincial Drugs Inspectors are involved in corruption and malpractices.• Even children are selling drugs in medical stores without any license.• There is no monitoring of food items sold in hotels, resturants and on road side.• Even in city of Karachi there is not only shortage of water but also water is usually without any treatment and having sewerage contamination.• There is no program by Provincial government for prevention of diseases.Moreover Provincial governments are Blocking the mix up of different races and ethnic groups which is also hindering evolution of good genetic health characteristics in present races and due to provincial government, such policies, racial and ethnic group are becoming confined just to their community and causing increase in genetic and hereditary diseases in present population.<br />From above examples it is quite clear that disease of ethnocentrism and provincialism has become a cancer for common people and has become a main source of victimization of noble citizens and this disease is destroying all moral values and all state institutions.<br />Therefore, there should be strict monitoring by Federal Government and international community of Provincial Education, Health, Police (Law and Order) Departments and other departments and in case of no improvements then these Subjects should be taken back from provinces to federal Government.<br />Written By:M.AKRAM KHAN NIAZI.<br />Karachi,Pakistan.<br />
