From the idea of Perfect Nation to the need for Reforms

After watching the patriotic songs from the 60's it is pretty clear that the states wants to insert an idea of blind faith in the nation which clearly overlooks many problems which the country faced at the time. These patriotic songs from the only television in the country on-aired songs which gave people a false sense of unity. The people of West Pakistan enjoyed prosperity where as the the East Pakistanis suffered. This hid the ultimate result of the prevailing situation.
In contrast, the songs from the post twentieth century stress on the need for reforms and highlight the loopholes in the system. This is mainly due to the freedom of media in the Musharraf regime. The state no longer controls what the people see.
