Thanks to an increased urbanization and elevated migrants
towards big cities on account of education, employment and exposure, housing
now has become dreadful matter for bachelors. Thanks to well conveyed
disparities for less fortunate / undeveloped cities of our homeland, the people
are bound to move in apparently moderate, newly cultured and well off
civilizations, say Islamabad; previously the same relatively less civilized tag
holders. In a conscious study it was found that 20-30% students in a newly
commenced course under public / private universities were migrants “youngsters
of equal caliber speaking identical language & bearing NADRA CNIC but from
less fortunate areas of the same country”. Needless to talk about merit as
almost 80% public sector universities in Islamabad lack boarding amenities
& most times there’s no housing for starters by potential employers
including public offices & multinationals.
Thanks to mistakenly justified discernment about culprit
pushing bachelors to the closed end street on account of fake safety
apprehension, where landlords identify every bachelor tenant as rapist while
signing rent deed, Oh luckily if they do. Regardless of his social status,
dignity and locale repute, some miscreant landlords at large charge 200%
additional rent burdened with multiplied securities on account of their own
safe side while renting a house floor, flat or a separate area. What to do,
robbery? Unregulated private hostels have evolved as well tailored industry
with highly expensive rentals for heavy profit margins. Let the role of
government be neutral in this social disease of mistrust, everyone having spare
covered area tries to manipulate bargaining and pretends to be super
“Raja-Gidh”.
Unfortunate thanks to dark side of eastern society where
veils are now treated as positivism and universities are considered as the
nurseries for cultural destruction and there’ve been experiences when
relatively more lucky, bright, quoted as moderate, residents aged 15-30 kids
have been murdered by the friends of same regime and different gender in strict
so called trepidation by nexus of influenced cultural disseminate. Offenses
aside there we see clear violation of religious norms, rituals and values
practiced then relatively rich in apparently less fortunate, undeveloped and
apparently uneducated but moderate cities. Assume empathetic and think about
same sort of crime with their ratio in areas like Gawadar, Skardu, Sibi, RY
Khan or Multan. Though there’s no provision of good universities in reasonable
number but it can be explored that social standing is quite handsome with
welcoming attitude even in absence of so-called civic sense.
It’s needful to prevent stereotyping and taking positive
initiatives for purge housing issues for educated bachelors on social level. It
might help us to eliminate social divide to build a relatively more resilient,
bright Pakistan!
