Inequalities Lessens the Unity

Pakistanis are not equally well off. There has been persistent growth in income inequalities. Our is the land of very rich and very poor people a great majority of the people, living at or below the poverty line, are extremely concerned about the presence of these difference. It was until late sixties when the less affluent people of the society used to accept their fate in silent submission. On the contrary, the present day picture shows desperation among the poor classes and a lot of hatred between different groups of the society. The poor people no longer simply accept the status quo, with all of its wide economic disparities among different classes. As a result there is considerable friction all around. If the things continue to go in the same fashion, we may see further widening of disparities among the different classes of the society through gaining more alliance by the rich and losing purchasing power by the poor at ever increasing rates. This is likely to further give rise to corrupt practices, crimes, restlessness and resentment.
