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

Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.

I was in KHI in April, visiting after 5 years. I have told and also written almost the same story as you did. However to me disturbing were not only these kids (will get back to this later on), but also those organised beggars at Tariq Road for instance, where the kids are almost clad the same, and on commando (i observed) put on the show of some disability.
Many arguments on these posting are false and hence very superficial.
All these things show the failure of so called “Pakistaniat” because of the failure of the character of many Pakistanis. On the contrary there are many Pakistanis who are still waiting to their country to be “reconstructed” in an American way. Beggars can never be choosers.
Just saw the video and it is very depressing. We just don’t think about what lives these kids are forced to lead.
After reading the title of this article, I am too afraid to read this article or comments in it as I fear by reading anything on this page would just drop my heart dead…I hoe and pray there is good news in this… i know am just a total wimp!
