Intellectual curiosity

Now a days we hear so much about educated unemployment. Unemployment means enforced leisure. I venture to suggest my countrymen one way of spending this leisure which will do good both to them and to our country. You read so much of cheap fiction. Why not read serious literature, or even fiction of a high standard and translate it into modern Urdu language. Good conscientious translations are in no way interior to original composition. In this way in a decade or two all the masterpieces of the West shall be in our hands. Western scholars have spent long years in studying the literature, philosophies and religions of the East. Why are we content with only second-hand knowledge of our own scriptures — why is Pakistan not able to produce a Max Muller?  
Because we misspend our eisure and have no intellectual curiosity. There s so much to be done along so many fields of knowledge so few laborers.
