This is what social studies and humanity is all about!

Just the other day, somebody saw a piece of newspaper lying on the table as she was about to sit down to enjoy her usual cuppa of teh tarik. The newspaper struck her as being unusual as she was written in Arabic script. On close scrutiny, she realised that it was a newspaper meant to satisfy the intellectual needs of the expatriate Pakistanis community in Malaysia.
At one look, she thought, "Wow! The Pakistanis have become so bold that they have their own publications."
But then, it is only evolution...


Humans are social animals. They are not machines who would work 24/7 for the prosperity of his bosses without having a little vices here and there. These little vices and outlets are his only ways to maintain his sanity. Literary indulgences is definitely one way for him to keep him abreast with happenings back home with the satiety of not neglecting his homeland.
When a country takes in human capital from abroad, she does not only squeeze his sweat for work, she also inherits baggages of his social and animal needs. She should have plans for medical support and plans for his extracurricular indulgence of sowing his wild oats.
The early immigrants who came to this country also went through this cycle. Pretty soon, the Pakistani workers, just like the many immigrants before them, will see no reason to go anywhere than to stay in the place that they had toiled their sweat, blood and even life for. That is how nations are built anyway.
