Mudda nahi tha mudda banaya gya hai,
Ek bade jhooth ko sach dikhaya gya hai.

Kuch log samajh gaye kya hai saazish,
Sahab ne unse bola tumhe behkaya gya hai.

Unhe qaabil kaha jo aa gaye baaton me,
Baaqi sabko anpad-berozgaar bataya gya hai.

Koi nahi bachega shehar me is baar zinda,
Nafrat ka zeher hawaon me milaya gya hai.

Ab kahan jayega mazloom faryaad lekar,
Muhaafiz se hi humpe vaar karaya gya hai.

Parinde gawah hain chaman me tabahi ke,
Khabar chapi sookhe patton ko jalaya gya hai

Is zamaane me umeed thi kuch naya hoga,
Phir se mazloom ko hi mujrim bataya gya hai.

Jo abhi tak so rahe hain aur bekhabar hain,
Is baar unke dar pe nishaan lagaya gya hai.

مدعا تھا نہیں مدعا بنایا گیا ہے۔

اک بڑے جھوٹ کو سچ رکھایا گیا ہے۔

کچھ لوگ سمجھ گعے کیا ہے سازش۔

ساحب نے انسے بولا تمہیں بہکایا گیا ہے۔

انہیں قابل کہا جو آ گئے باتوں میں۔

باقی سب کو انپڑ-بیروزگار بتایا گیا ہے۔

کوئی نہین بچےگا اس بار شہر میں زنرہ۔

نفرت کا ظہر حواعوں میں ملایا گیا ہے۔

اب کہاں جایگا مظلوم فریاد لیکر۔

محافظ سے ہی انپر وار کروایا گیا ہے۔

پرندے گواہ ہیں چمن میں تبآہی کے۔

خبر چھپی بس سوکھے پتوں کو جلایا گیا ہے۔

اس زمانے میں عمید تھی کچھ نیا ہوگا۔

اس بار بھی مظلوم کو ہی مجرم بتایا گیا ہے۔

خو ابہی تک سو رہے ہیں بیخبر ہیں۔

ہمارا جل چکا انکے در پہ نشان لگایا گیا ہے۔

Net Neutrality is Necessary

Everybody understands that charging extra money for some of the favorite apps is not just expensive for consumers but also puts free speech, equal access, innovation and equal opportunity in danger. Actually there is limited bandwidth for each network. If providers start charging for specific apps they will give them preferential treatment by providing them more bandwidth. So you will be left with limited bandwidth for the rest of internet. Moreover, they will throttle the speed of all competitive new apps. This way they will control what apps consumer uses.

Now, internet providers in India are coming up with other tricky plans like 'Airtel Zero' in which consumers have access to some websites for FREE. Sounds Good? Think again.

If allowed, plans like Airtel Zero, are going to destroy the internet in India. Here is how:

1) Every telecom operator will offer something similar to Airtel Zero. The companies that are going gaga over Airtel Zero, including Flipkart, won't only have to pay Airtel. They will have to pay all other operators too if they want to reach all web users in India.

2) The companies that don't pay money to telecom operators will see that their service costs consumers money - and possibly a huge amount of money because even general access to internet may become more expensive. In the long run, these services will lose out to the ones that are already paying money. This will decrease competition, stifle innovation, and eventually lead to fewer choices and higher prices in the market.

3) For now, Airtel says that the Zero data plan just gives start-ups some marketing push. But it is almost a certainty that in the future, start-ups will have to pay more for Zero data plans and any service that doesn't  pay the telecom player will be discriminated against. For example, those who pay will be in the fast lane as opposed to those who don't. It is a slippery slope and once we allow companies like Airtel to go down this route, there will be no end to it.

What we can do?

In India, TRAI has called for comments from all stakeholders (internet users, internet service providers, telcos, industry bodies among others) so that it can make a decision on subjecting internet services to an additional licensing fee and whether these providers should pay telcos for using their internet pipes. You can share your opinion with TRAI before 24th April, 2015 using this website:

I Protest Against Insult of our Beloved Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)

Being a muslim I believe there is one God and Prophet Mohammad(PBUH) is his messenger. As I believe I try to obey what Allah had ordered and spend my life the way Prophet Mohammad(PBUH) did. So he is my ideal and I try to copy him in every aspect of life. And this is also true for all the muslims around the world. Now when someone disrespects him it is obvious that every muslim feels offended. Disrespecting an ideal is as if you are insulting all his followers. This is clear racism. They keep doing it, again and again, and still call their society civilized.

However I am also against these violent protests that are in progress in many countries in Asia. Many innocents are loosing their lives which is strictly against Islam. Even when the Prophet(PBUH) himself was targeted by locals in Taif and his legs started bleeding. An angel appeared and asked him if he want all of them to be crushed between mountains. He simply refused the punishment and even prayed for them. So, how can we justify these violent protests?

We must understand that some people can use us for their political ambitions. People are really sensitive to religious sentiments. So, some politicians find it a best time to gain popularity without caring about the lives of those innocents who become victim of violence. Its time we use our brains and follow the religion. Stop getting influenced by the West and our own selfish leaders.

May Allah grant all of us true guidance and wisdom.
