How does Janadria reflect our past and present?
Published in Alriyadh on 13 - 04 - 2011

Janadria is not a mere folklore celebration which includes many cultures and races; it is a civilized idea that reflects the heritage and the present. Seminars and dialogues regarding the contemporary affairs are held in this celebration not only for men but also the women: doctors, intellectuals, engineers...etc. Every year we notice how Janadria transformed to an annual meeting everybody looking forward to in order to experience the heritage, the present and the promising future for the next generations in KSA.
King Abdullah (the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques) is the sponsor and supporter of this celebration which made the military forces an intellectual, scientific and cultural establishment which connects the heritage to the present. You see that north, south, east and west meet in an inclusive national show which displays history: how our heritage was formed? When you see that, you can conjure up the history with its tools and facts. You see how the mud houses and tents turned to be stone houses and huts respectively; how people sing in different occasions and fight for fathers and ancestors to protect their families; and how the society lives in solidarity despite of poverty and hard living conditions.
In the present, we live in an increasing development in science, economy, education and construction of villages and cities according to the contemporary civilized countries; yet the national identity remains the highest priority. Despite of the present gap between the races from the world in our cities, there is a new generation which wants to compete in science, culture and politics without fear of unknown future. Even the financing of inclusive civilization is considered a must not a geographic coincidence in a period of time.
The sponsorship of King Abdullah (the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques) makes him a loving father who becomes happy when he sees the massive development of financing, universities, schools, cities and villages and looks forward a future of creative persons whose efforts are integrated to challenge the new era with modern inventions and innovations. These challenges will not be puzzles or miracles if we figure out how our exchange students overspread all world universities in all majors; the investment of human resources in our universities, institutions and research centers to reach higher rank in the developed countries; and how the incentives made by the government will be paid back in all fields of development and urban progress.
