Karachi IS located in the Sindh Province OSMANLI.

I already said that, or are you simply reminding me incase i forgot?

And its the financial capital  of Pakistan.

Thank you, however i already knew that. But thanks for infoming all the member of AE as well. Be sure to let us know of any new information you find on Karachi. Shukaria

 

My dear fellow AE member OSMANLI I wasn't even trying to play a joke on you.There is a slight  difference between 'can' and 'is'.Was just trying to point that out very humbly.

And since you said we should stick to the topic.I'll present another Pakistani thing I like.

I think quite often we have misunderstood each other. Perhaps next time you could PM me with such lessons on grammer.

Anywho, thanks for the info on 'Rooh Afza', honestly i have never heard of it. Although judging from the website seems like a nice drink. I will be on the look out for it !!!

Kindest Regards,

However i feel that out of 20 postd in this topic, only 3 have addressed the aim of the topic. Thus 3 posts depicting 5 fave things on Pakistan. The vast majorty has been in people on the offensive and defensive. With the exception of Hexed

Please, i would love to hear your contrbution, remember you may not like the Pakistani government but neither do a lot of Pakistani's.

Well my reply to this topic was not Anti-Pakistan, it was to clarify the people and pictures he mentioned as being Pakistani.  I say if you are going to show 5 things you like about Pakistan, at least show people that are actually Pakistanis.

Rooh Afza is a very good sharbat dear AE fellow member OSMANLI.If I were in India I would have gladly sent you a bottle.

This time I was making a joke at you.Rooh Afza is an Indian sharbat.

I agree.Don't try to portray 'Hamdard Rooh Afza' as a Pakistani product

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Everything on the page is Pakistani. When it comes to ethnic groupings, all the ethnic groups can be found in Pakistan. The Pathan girl before came to mind and the Hazaras were easy to find. But alright, let's be fussy shall we, I will find substitutes for Pathan and Hazara in Pakistan itself!

Pathans - In Pakistan !

 

Hazaras - In Pakistan !

 

I even managed to find some in front of a Pakistani flag to save you from looking them up!

Very Good TeldeIndus, that is much better, EXCEPT for one picture:

These are not "Pathan" boys, these are Afghan refugees.

 And you know they are refugees, how may I ask, genius? The site most definitely says Pakistan.

I know everything is Afghan to you, but I'll give you a clue in the meantime. These boys are from Swat Valley, Pakistan. Swat Valley is not known as a refugee area - It's buffeted by both Dir and Chitral. That would make it very unlikely they're refugees - besides all that one look at those jumpers, trousers and the way their clothes are all clean suggests there's no way they're refugees.

Hey what are the major Industries in Pak. Is there discrimination against Sikhs and Hindus in Pak.

I have heard that Sindhis and Punjabis control most of Pal while rest of areas are impoverished...

What is the economic scenario in Pak...?

Do you have good freedom of press in Pak under Musharaff?...

These questions are not anti-pak...These are asked put of curiosity...

If you want to talk more politics, this isnt the thread.

Answers to your questions. There more discrimination against Hindus in India. Sikhs the same.

Pakistan has a changing economy. IT is doubling in size every year and industrial manufacturing is growing by a a fifth every year now. I think you can read about this yourself.

Punjabis are more numerous in Pakistan but politically each province has equal political power. The government has done a good job attracting investors into the region,  all part of "trickle down".

The economic situation looks very good.

http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000039&refer= columnist_mukherjee&sid=aiSFuvMKI2Gw  

Freedom of the press is very good in Pakistan, many of the state run agencies criticize Musharaf on a regular basis.

http://www.jang.com.pk/thenews/may2005-daily/04-05-2005/metr o/i2.htm

The fact they're able to debate whether there's freedom of press in Pakistan, shows there's actually a lot of freedom of expression in Pakistan!

Since you like this word Genius, it might help to know that this picture has been used in MANY websites, and the first one I ever saw it on, was much older than this website you linked it to...Genius.

Well it depends what kind of refugee.  Refugees who live in Tents are obviously not going to have access to ample amount of clean water.  But as you know there are many, most likely in the millions, who not only reside in homes throughout the NWFP, but own land and businesses.

Sometimes it would be a good idea.  There are many Pakistanis who flee to Europe and elsewhere under fake or stolen Afghan refugee papers.

all part of "trickle down".

Narasimha Rao {former Prime Minister of India who was in power when India opened up her economy in early 90's} made this term popular in India.

My dear brother in humanity OSMANLI you seem to have been offended.You didn't reply to my second post on 'Rooh Afza'.I am sorry if I hurt you.I promise to send you a bottle of 'Rooh Afza'.I would look for it in S Korea.Wish you a very happy and prosperous lunar new year.

Since this thread is about things people like about Pakistan.I would add another thing I like about Pakistan.Beautifully decorated trucks.The trucking Industry in Pakistan is dominated by the Pushtoons.In India too trucks are decorated but not to the extent they are in Pakistan.Here are some pics.
