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

Super insightful and fresh perspective.
This should be featured everywhere.
Thanks for sharing. I read many of your blog posts, cool, your blog is very good.
I think our society is now towards a shift and the roles are being changed. We must make such models where women have equal opportunity in the society and they are also at liberty to follow their traditional norms.
>When these wonderful women become the mothers of sons, they fail to teach their sons the lessons of tolerance and respect.
It is the father who, through his good conduct, should teach his sons how they should treat their wife. (Albeit it may work the other way too. A person who has seen his mother be a victim of abuse may take an oath to treat his wife in the best manner possible).
> It is estimated that upto 90% of women in Pakistan are victims of domestic abuse.
I don’t think anyone will agree.
