The situation is this: in the preserved scriptures (Loh-e-Mehfooz) both the individual and national lives are imprinted. When some struggles as an individual, then the results accrue individually to person. But when one, two or four persons struggle collectively, the results of that struggle apply to the whole nation. It is also preserved in the scriptures that those nations that really want to change their condition, receive the required resources and become dignified. And, those nations that do not want to change their condition must live a humiliated life.
