Mela trend in Hyderabad
Fatima Rind
A slew of events has emerged the air o Hyderabad to change the season of extremism and harshness with the peace building sessions but the question arises whether these are a positive initiative or serving some hidden agenda?
The educational hub, Hyderabad is in grip of different groups to promote peace through events like Ayaz melo, Hyderabad literature festival, Sufi melo and many more. In which notable people participated. These events are also successful by gathering audience as they provide a family environment which plays a highlighted impact on the conservative society of Hyderabad.
All the sessions had one main motive is to talk, serve and promote peace, to brainstorm people regarding the peaceful environment, which was proved an optimist step. Indeed the progressive impact of these events cannot be depreciated as they have empowered women and provided them space to share their ideas and opinions on several issues. By giving the opportunity to women like Sindhu Nawaz, Farhana Anees, who had been working dawn to dusk to prove that women are no more to be presented as show-pieces but they also can work as hard and as equal as men in the crowd.

Moreover, the participation of youth has also been remarkable in all the events. Young girls and boys have shown great enthusiasm towards creativity and responsibility. By working as photographers, volunteers, reporters, writers, live broadcasters, the young generation has washed the mark of uselessness and wanderers. As half a decade ago when youth was considered as lovebird and virus to the respectable environment, today by standing shoulder to shoulder in these events youth has proved that specifically Sindh has grown-up and Sindhi mentality of Kaaro-Kaari is now just a myth belonging to ancient ages of illiteracy.
The undeniable factor as a patriarch society is that men in the crowds have now been less-manly and more tolerable. The cold breeze of Hyderabad is now witnessing one of the most modern eras of Hyderabad comparatively to the old days where women and men were not able to associate with each other, today auditoriums and melo-gardens are witnessing families instead of men after other women.

However, with all the imaginable pros, the cons cannot be neglected, which display the ruthless image of stakeholders. All these events have played a positive effect in social-mental revolution but on the ground level, the realities are different. Each of the programs organized in last 6 months has taken the investment of minimum a million and maximum of 2 to 2.5 million which are withdrawn by the government or private NGOs. The amount to display the positivity could have also been utilized to make unemployed youth employed, to provide more education among children, and also to build more schools for slum kids and street children.
The image displayed is working on the external side of the shell, whereas inside the house we are not even served by the basic rights. Every international conference held weather Makli conference, Mohenjo-Daro conference, or International Latif festival has taken the investment of more than 2 billion. Common men lament this amount because the literacy rate of Sindh would not raise though conference and the poverty would keep increasing if matters would be neglected at every possible stage.

These amounts could have been utilized to build some maternity homes in Thar, to build schools in Kashmor, to build more public universities, to build a port in Thatta or may be an international hospital for cancer and tuberculosis, which can also improve the tourism, and international connections of Pakistan.
To some extent, this can be considered as political agenda as all these events reflect the positive shadow of an empty built skeleton. The uneducated, unemployed Sindh can enjoy these events at some extent but would not fulfill the needs of human life. The prosperity would mow at the feet’s only when bureaucracy and stakeholders would not pretend as working but would actually be working for the sake of betterment of Sindh. We hope that until they make Sindh prosper, the fakeness of Sindh prospered remains BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.
