Modern Combat : seeking inside Lyari

Lyari ...... an old valley in Pakistan that was once famous for its unique acing techniques in football has now become a war zone within this modern claimed peaceful society.

Lyari is one of the oldest areas located in Karachi,Pakistan and was once a happy place like the rest of the residential areas in the city.

Since war on terror and tribal division, there has been a massacre .Due to the recent disputes among the peaceful residents on the basis of caste and national character, a war has been unleashed.

People who reside there go through living hell each day where they have a constant fear of being bombarded within their houses.
The poor and the sick are deprived within their houses with no safety and live with the yet existing fear to step outside their house and get killed.
Many families live from hand to mouth with less to no food for consecutive days due to constant threat of getting killed from the tribal division war.
Young children are kept aloof from education since they do not go to school because of THIS fear.
The fear that has been established by the people on to the same people that once were united.
Society can not prosper when a part of it is kept in a situation as of Lyari.
Hence the women and children also pickup the weapons that should have books.
It is of great courage to live at such a place and risk one's life for the sake of family.And yet the same courage is required at dusk when they return home to find out whether a family member is alive or dead.
Is this the modern and educational and prosperous society that Allama Iqbal dreamt of or did Quaid want Pakistan or Karachi to turn out like this?
In many addresses Quaid e Azam emphasized on Unity and that no society can prosper without it.
The words that come prior in his famous quote "Unity,Faith and Discipline".
