Pakistan now places great importance on modernization, such as building tall buildings, constructing highways, and opening large shopping malls.

Many people see these as signs of progress, but in fact, people in rural areas and small towns have not benefited.

Farmers have become poorer, traditional restaurants have been replaced by fast food outlets, and young people have started eating unhealthy food.

Many schools and universities prefer to use English and foreign educational methods, resulting in many young people not being able to speak their native Punjabi language.

They speak Urdu and English at home, making communication with family difficult.

In this way, Pakistan's culture and language are slowly being forgotten.

The author believes that true development should protect local culture and economy, allowing everyone to benefit, rather than just pursuing superficial modernization.
