I am sure when someone says something like title people may not oppose but deep in heart say that 'wishful thinking'. They think we don't have money to run the government, how can we become an advanced super power of the world. Due to extreme economic hardships dozen of people commit suicide, how can this country become super power.
Last time I shared just one economic policy that can turn the tables upside down and show the real potential of this land, but what I am going to share now will make many surprise.
Regarding ownership of public property Islamic Economic system states that "people are partner in three things, fire, water, natural resources" -based on Hadith of Muhammad pbuh. This means neither any mulltinational nor any government company can own any of these that belong to people. Only people can take benefit from these and state has to provide these at only cost of delivery/processing, no tariffs!!
Just like our great agriculture, this land is also blessed with so much high quality natural resources.
Below figures/data is based on various sources, all fellow members are welcome to correct me if any figure is incorrect.
1# Allah has blessed us with 800,000 sq km area. This is bigger then Germany & Great Britain combined!
2# Allah has blessed us with 6th largest population and 19th largest work force! Population currently 172 Million.
3# We have 1,000 KM long warm sea water shore. Russia & China are desperate for access to this sea shores. Singapore a tiny island without any natural resources but only with sea water port & human capital has about 200Billion reserves! Why can't we have more?
Ingredients needed for Industrial Revolution
#1 Aluminium 7,000,0000 Ton capacity of extraction. Key element in manufacturing of Aircraft, Cars, Ships, Trains, Computers, Infrastructure
#2 Copper, 2,000,0000 Ton capacity. Key element used in electrical instruments.
#3 Zinc, Chromium, used for medical, chemicals, batteries etc
#4 600 Ton gold discovered in Changhi, Balochistan. Not including copper which is also there in same field
#5 Sliver, 20 Ton
#6 Iron 600,000,000 Ton per year
#7 Marble, one can say 'unlimited'
Energy Resources
#1 Coal, 4rth largest reserve found in 9,000KM area of Thur, a capacity of 1,840 BILLION TON !
Only from this one reserve if we utilize 2% coal Pakistan can generate 20,000MW electricity for 40 years.
This reserve has more energy than who of Saudi Oil!!
Just one reservoir!
#2 Gas production 6th largest in Asia, 215 Trillion CM
#3 Adequate oil reserves, 5 Billion dollar oil refinery.
#4 Indus Wind Corridor, only through that wind corridor 50,000MW electricity can be generated!
Agriculture Strength
#1 Pakistan has 20,000,000 acre cultivatable land of which only 50% is utilized!! 10,000,000 is waiting to be utilized!
3rd largest and sophisticated canal system, bigger than Russia!
#2 Pakistan alone produces more wheat than whole of Africa & South America combined! A 22Million Metric Ton with only 50% capacity!
#3 Current average yield from 1 acre land is 2.2 ton, Mexico's 1 acre yields 5.5 ton. Look at the potential, from 50% of cultivation with 50% of yield we get 22Million Metric Ton!!!
#4 Egg, cattle, sheep, fruit, vegetable, rice all is more than enough for this land and Pakistan in in top 20 in most of these.
We have 1.5 Million engineers/scientists/technical people. 5,000 PhD scholars.
Yet we are told you are poor, you are miserable, you are egger. Our people are forced to sell their kidneys to continue living, committing suicide due to extreme economic conditions.
Because of IMF gas/patrol tariffs we have about 3,000 industry closed. Poor selling their children.
Idea is to highlight our general potential, not debate figures/numbers, if any subject specialist has anything to add, feel welcome!
