What Is Migration And Why Do People Migrate?

Migration, in simple words we can say that migration is a process of moving from one place to a new place or another place, likewise the international migration means moving from one country to another country, for example, moving from Pakistan to India, or moving from Pakistan to China. Here the question then arises, that why does migration happens/ why does migration occur, mean why do people migrate or prefer to move from one country to other country, and we know that this is a very big deal to leave own country. As per my understanding migration takes place due to many reasons but the main reasons can be the Physical needs, Seeking jobs, To get good education, Etc. There are lots of people who leave their assets, home, friends, and many other things in order to get higher education from the top universities of developed countries to make their future bright, and now a day’s education is the top most reason of international migration, because everybody wants to live tension free life and that tension free life is only possible when you have a good job. And we know there is a very tough competition in market.

There are two major factors or we can say reasons of Migration/International Migration.

1. Push Factors. 

2. Pull Factors. 

These are the factors that compel different people to migrate from one country to another country.

PUSH FACTORS. 

Push factors force or we can say compel the person to move or migrate from one place to another (One country to other country) like in civil wars, political and religious oppressions, climate changes, low incomes, lack of facilities, poverty, lack of jobs or any kind of natural disaster. 

PULL FACTORS. 

Pull factors are completely opposite of push factor, Pull factor encourage people to move from Less Developed Countries (LDC) or Developing countries to the developed one for avail the facilities like opportunity of better job, higher education, better standard of living, high incomes etc.

Violence and Discrimination against Women

Being two parallel wheels of the vehicle of social life, man and women assume an integral position in the overall progress and development of social life. Both interdepend each other and perform respective roles in order to keep this vehicle furthering in the course of life. Both are entitled to be treated equally in all occupations. Any type of disparity and discrimination will disturb the smooth running of this vehicle. And one’s undue influence and impact will violet and harm second’s personal and private domain, in result, forces of retaliation and reaction will become active. Consequently, it can deteriorate the circumstances and situations of peace and prosperity.

In contemporary times, we have achieved milestone success in the field of science and technology on the one hand, on the other hand, still we see in many regions of the world, especially where there is illiteracy and lack of education i-e Asian and African, widespread violence persists against the weak and wicked class of the women. Women are victimized in physical, psychological, social, and economic terms. Physically, male intimates, on little skirmishes in house, beat them. Their voice is suppressed and repeatedlythey become prey of punishment at the hand of father and husband. Physical harassment results in psychological trauma and torture to women and feelings of fear and frustration hover over their mentality and they dare not to say even a single word against any type of injustice that is done to them in different conditions and at different places in the social circle. Socially, women, both in urban and rural areas, are envisaged …..

Among the major discriminatory lines, discrimination based on gender is commonly witnessed in society. In family phenomenon, male child is often more favored by parents and elderly. Male child is put at high esteem and entertained appropriately by parents and all the demands of male child are fulfilled at any cost whereas female child is less favored in many regards. In organizations, it has been hot and humid issue for different discussion and debates carried on upon business related issues. In organization, where majority of the top-level managers are male ones and hardly any female assumes an executive position. Furthermore, in politics too, ratio of female ministers and activists is substantially low. Even in universities, we see meagre number of girls against boys. In job descriptions, often various departments and companies offer jobs to male aspirants proportionately higher the female aspirants. Hence, it justifies that claim that there exists discrimination against women in society in all occupations.

In the light of above discourse, it can be concluded that women in general are discriminated and victimized. And they are in different gulfs of suppression and oppression in society, their due rights and regards are overlapped and they are deemed with meanness in social circle. It is the need of the hour that they must be granted with their due status in all perspectives and treated with justice and equality. Otherwise, vehicle of life will tremble in lurch and smoothing would not be possible in any way.

Prevailing Disparity in the World

Life is unpredictable, nobody, actually, knows what does happen in the successive moments of life.Life is a wholesome of joys and sorrows; it requires many sacrifices from a person’s side. It demands many painstaking strides and continuous efforts to be able to reach the destination. Today, human has become able to pursue what he wants. He has developed almost every possibility that makes his life more comfortable and happy.

In this world, we can see a lot of trouble and turmoil persistently amplifying the problems and issues at both national and international level. These issues range from political, economic, social to psychological, human, individual, and collective and issues related to peace and prosperity.

However, we have realized and achieved milestone success in the field of technology and science, on the one hand and on other hand, we do adversely affect our own lives as it is commonly observed that every invention and thing has its pros and cons. Sometimes, we become indecisive to the situation and circumstance that we could not be able to make the right decision that adds in our tension and further sucks our minds. In the society like ours – means Pakistani people are severely deprived and they are hand to mouth, they just thinking of their basic needs and strive from dawn to dusk in fulfillment of these wants and needs and they hardly imagine about things like innovation and creativity. I personally have observed that those whose background are sound in terms of wealth and have full support by family in their life, they tend to be more fearless and possess social and generally creative skills that people who are empty belly do not think even in decades. This tarnished and tortured sector of society just ends up in nothingness and passes away in an unfulfilled desires keeping in the pending this is the absolutely damn life of the poor.

Education plays really a pivotal role for an individual, family, clan, community, society, city, region, state, colony, province, nation, country, and for the whole world in general.

Horizon of education is not limited to just reading and writing rather it far more than that it is about making a man human, it is about making aware of rights and responsibilities, it is about the learning the “art of life” – art of life means learning how to lead a peaceful life and how to focus upon once own wrong deeds and self-assessing oneself in all spheres and perspectives. Education creates the sense of ethics, sense of maturity, sense of differentiation, sense of understanding others as well as oneself, it is about learning the learning, and admitting one’s mistakes and forgiving others, education develops the sense of respect among the individuals for elderly people; it stresses constructive argumentation on various issues and problems to which humanity is faced with.

A Chinese proverb goes like these that if you want to enslave any nation just destroy its education system and create a fight among the masses over the loaf of bread. Just snatch the pen from their hands and kill their creativity and innovation. Same goes on in our country, individualism is prioritize over collectivism, where vested interest is preferred over national interest. Where there individual up lift is manifolds with the pace of time. Ours is the society where racism, caste system, sectarianism, nationalism, feudalism and many uncountable social ills persist and these ills are slowly and gradually eating up our whole entity and making us more dependent and slave to other nations and pushing us into the dark times whereby we will again be used for other’s motives. Since independent, we are struggling to be self sufficient but anti-Pakistan elements always have done heart-rending and shocking damages and dooms in the land of pure land.

Current State of Affairs in Pakistan

In 21st century, where world is heading towards economic and technological development, meanwhile, Pakistan is still striving to get out fuss and mess that has been continually created by different political arenas since independence. Political instability has been an epidemic issue for Pakistan whose roots are too tight among the feuds and some elite dynasties that have dominated the poor in various ways in the whole journey from independence to till now. These dynasties have kept stronghold over the national resources and have exploited for their vested interests. 

            Since inception, Pakistan has witnessed short span of time in which bit of the development and progress took place in some sectors otherwise, major span has remained idle and no such a substantial progress took place. 

           In Pakistan, there are approximately more than dozen political parties. PPP, PML-N, JUI, MQM have historically dominated the political picture. In their respective tenures, many mishaps took place and many issues and problems rose. But now paradigm shift is taking place and change is coming. People have been exhausted from this mess up. Now they prone to see new faces in parliament and want them to do distinctive job for the overall progress and development of country. 

           After 9/11 attacks, US blamed Taliban for the attacks made over World Trade Centre.US made an alliance in the shape of NATO, and declared war on Afghanistan Taliban. Gradually and slowly conditions went worst in South Asian region and effects of this war started spreading among neighboring countries specially Pakistan. People from Afghanistan began to migrate to Pakistan in chunks and got refuge in Pakistan’s various cities and regions. Meanwhile national and international insurgents started bomb blasting in bordering areas initially and then slowly entered into major metropolitan cities of Pakistan. Security issues increased and uncertainty grew among the stakeholders of nation. 

Silence Is Unnatural To Humans

Of course, silence is unnatural to humans. As a new born baby one begins to cry, as one grows physically and mentally, one’s margin of contribution towards noise manifolds with the pace of life. One does almost everything to add in the noisiness of world. One, for the pursuit of different exterior motives, continues to make noise; one keeps on increasing rumor and rock around oneself through one’s own chit chats and via involving into noisy activities like watching movies, listening songs, celebrating ceremonies, feast and festivities in one’s social gathering, whereby, one loses the sight of importance of being silent and natural in life. Human beings are such a great threat to overall peace whether it is mental or physical.

From dawn to dusk, Human being engages oneself into various humorous   activities and actions. One’s gossips seem to be unlimited and infinite. One hardly maintains hush in one’s routine. Human beings are so messy in their nature that in times, it becomes very hard to overcome that deterioration, resultantly, they suffer in latter and spirit.

One’s unpredictable behavior reflects this instinct of humans that they are surely social animal and will die out if kept in isolation and calmly conditions. One is such a huge giant within oneself that is unsatisfied forever.

If we recap one’s routine that one usually goes by. We will definitely come across many evidences that will ultimately justify our discourse upon one’s cloudy nature of mess and mischievousness. One listens various music, melodies, moods and voices that simply, on contrive basis, sooth his unrest. One thinks that listening to such thing will lower the extent of unease but unfortunately, one misperceives it. One seeks remedy for one’s woes and worries into these visible materialistic objects and considers that if a kind of luxury comes in one’s life than one will be able to lead towards peace and prosperity but one is astray from one’s actual purpose and path that is surely not revisited, rethought , reinvented by one for oneself. 

In the best scenario of silence, nevertheless, I would appraise the salient features of Silence. Hazrat Ali (Razi Allah unho) quoted that "Silence is ornament to “scholar” viz- a- viz veil to “ignorant” ". Definitely, silence is uniformly shielded to both of them. It is said that person is known by the way he/she talks; the way he/she walks, the way he/she behaves, the way he/she manifests his/her speech in the social circle.

It is again scientifically proved  that those who are dumb and unable to speak due to inborn heredity are more sharp than common ones who are so loquacious, because of their(dumb) inability to speak, they use their energy of speech into thinking and listening more, they keep on observing the moves of others and keep on learning via listening and interpret everything in their minds, that means they use their mind much more in analyzing,  on the other hand,  a normal person wastes much of his/her energy in useless talks. Ultimately, one is less observing and analyzing in one’s environment.

Religiously speaking, Sufis go for this approach they speak precisely when needed, they remain cut from all these in vain talks, they try not to slip out their tongue, they do not burst out whatever comes in mind randomly. It is said that think before you talk, yes definitely, it is thinking that is the triggering point, I would support it with this saying that 

Thoughts Become Words,Words Become Your Actions, Actions Become Your Habits, Habits Become Your Character, and Character Becomes Your Destiny..

When a person  is silent he/she depicts a sober kind of look, when he/she is silent he/she looks like a professional and mature, when he/she is silent, he/she is influential, when he/she is silent, he/she reflects wisdom and impression. When a person cuts his/her extra gambits, he/she follow brevity, he/she is well easily being understandable and comprehendible by others then.

Here I would specifically talk about Islamic teachings whereby one can observe such required behavior. However, almost every religion has some attributes and rituals wherein following them; one can reach out calm and coolness such as Yoga. Furthermore, Islamic rituals such as Patience, Prayer, Fast, Sabr, etc guide a person to be a good human in the world. Islam stresses on lowering our voices and not unnecessarily going for hollow talks.

Sometime people get angry upon you and in response you too. They cry and yell on your little mistakes and misbehave. In such a worst case scenario, if you remain silent and listen their rough talks patiently ultimately that man will be empty-minded and will do no harm to you in physical terms. He/she will be compelled to stop chuckling and become regretful on his/her attitude towards you that will result in better and peace to you and your physique.

Given the above discourse of ours upon Silence and its overall behavioral impacts, we can conclude that silence is naturally opposite to human’s behavior, their routine is full of noise, it has both behavioral impacts over humans’ life course and if humans adopt this key characteristic than there would ultimately peace everywhere in the world and society will practice its ethical and moral standards very well. Religious teaching can play crucial role in this regard if preached and practiced in full spirit.
