In context to Pakistan social injustice is a prevalent feature which is seen in the country. Social Injustice is a concept relating to the perceived unfairness or injustice of a society in its divisions of rewards and burdens. The concept is distinct from those of justice in law, which may or may not be considered moral in practice. Social Injustice arises when equals are treated unequally and unequal are treated equally.
The concept of Social Democracy has also not been promoted in Pakistan. Social Democracy is basically that includes a society where all get opportunity to rise, a society without strong class system, policies and programs to reduce unemployment, welfare society, respect of labor irrespective of their level of education.
The most important step towards peace is bringing the correct means of social justice and democracy. The reason for Pakistan not being a peaceful country is that according to the active peace theory, the order and means of social justice should be implemented by correct and right means.
Unfortunately, Islamic Republic of Pakistan stands on the top of those countries where social injustice prevails at every level of the society. Citizens of Pakistan are unaware of social justice concept and its effects on society. Pakistan’s civil and military rulers and elite class have been plundering this country since independence. They have always been claiming that they are pious and others are corrupt. Military ruler assertion is completely wrong. The fact is that country’s condition has been deteriorating under all regimes.
Today, Pakistan is standing at extremely dangerous and appalling point where there is a genuine fear that the country might vanish from the map of the world if corrective measures are not taken. The harsh fact is that poorer is getting poorer and richer is getting richer but policy makers are unmoved. All governments of Pakistan have always played with the statistics and tell the nation that we are better off under their regime than the previous ones. Instead of providing justice, improving economic conditions of the masses and decreasing the class difference in society, they are busy in finding legs to stand upon their lies as truth. The other issue which goes hand in hand with the social injustice is the social democracy. The concept of Social Democracy has also not been promoted in Pakistan. Social Democracy is basically that includes a society where all get opportunity to rise, a society without strong class system, policies and programs to reduce unemployment, welfare society, respect of labor irrespective of their level of education, respect of people irrespective of their family background, culture of honesty, a strongly progressive tax system, generous government provision of non-cash benefits such as education, health and housing, honest and independent judiciary, patriotic society where interests of collectivity are supreme, constitution is considered a sacred document, religious tolerance, honest civil and military bureaucracy which act within their domains, military finds no room in politics, high standard public sector education, provincial integration, acceptance of Pushto, Baluchi, Panjabi and Sindhi as official languages along with Urdu, independent foreign policy.
Therefore, Pakistan should look into the democracy issue and promote it in the right way so that violence can be eliminated from Pakistan because the main reason for violence is the unjust system and the wrong concept of social democracy. In Pakistan, there has always remained a difference between classes which is the main issue of violence. Therefore, the only way to remove violence is to bring equality and social justice.
