Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

i want 2 b member of this site. i have many views i have a drama in ritn form i want to submit it in t.v. what shud i do nw?
I agree with what president musharaf did. Thats one way of appreciating player’s hard work. Also making sure that they dont get involve in corruption.
salamalikum,
karachiwala, i hope you’re being sarcastic. Can you imagine what 50 lakhs can do for Edhi or Ansar Burni Trust? There is no need for this type of cash reward from a government of a country as poor as Pakistan. There was a picture in Dawn a few days ago showing snow fall in Azad Kashmir and a girl standing outside her TENT with not much winter clothing on. Couldn’t that money go there?
PCB has already given Yousuf a reward but still Busharraf felt a need to give out 50 lakhs. 17 people died recently in Karachi due rain. The responsibility of death can squarely be placed on the government because the city is so badly built. So, why not use 50 lakhs to give some cash to the families of those that died? All this just creates a divide between haves and have-nots and is caused by lack of basic compassion. It’s all really pathetic to acknowledge as insignificant a thing as a sporting record in such a significant way.

Akif, I’d suggest you go around and actually talk to people who have indeed changed religions. There are many, many people who have done so not because it would lift them out of poverty or would make them more successful.
On the contrary, I actually know of several people who changed religions, knowing full well that doing so would bring on a lot of additional difficulties from family, friends, workplace, etc etc.
I know it’s hard for decadent people to understand this…but a lot of people have actually given up material wealth to change religions.
