Ban if you can..

Recent banning of the Movie 'Maalik' has sent shock waves across the country. Series of blame game has gripped the country and a serious discourse is taking place. Some argue in favor of banning the movie while many are totally against it. Critics argue that ban is due to the portrayal of real face of politicians which has disturbed politicians. This is against freedom of expression. The politicians are suspicious that there could be an ISPR hand behind such movies to malign politicians specifically. But if we take a look at the events, we can analyse the scenario by classifying society into 2 classes. Underclass is a huge proportion of the population effectively ignored in the ownership of the state. If they come into trouble, no one is there to save them. They have to pay or face the the trouble. The facilities like health, water, education and sanitation largely depends on mood of the state official not the birth right of underclass citizens. For underclass merit and end to corruption wont make them jump up the ladder of social and economic prosperity. Their only ray of hope is the connection to politician which enables state patronage. Another class is over class. They have got to a position of getting English based education and financially sound through their fathers and forefathers. This wealth either acquired through colonial incentive or civil service of their recent ancestors. In emergency they always have some to cover up a problem. This over-class is epitome of skills, knowledge and wealth. This class wants end to corruption and provision of facilities like a developed state. The significance of this class is that they shape opinions and image across the globe. The politicians need to fill the gap and turn to huge population which is their fan base. Then take over class on board for necessary reforms. Banning malik will not dispel bad perception of politicians but allowing it will improve the impression.
