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 have been seeing this video again and again since morning. I hope you are right and ‘hum daikhain gay.’
Congrats just saw the Geo cartoon version of Hum Daikyan kay depicting it in the 2008 Budget scene…
This is really lovely and brought tears to eyes. You really should get this on TV somehow.
This is very very moving. Thank you. great work. I wish more Pakistanis were able to see this.
You should also add more footage Musharraf’s antics like you did of Zia. In the end, all military dicators have been equally worse with the destruction of fabric of society and deterioration of civic institution.
The ethnic violence have always escalated during military rules and this term is no different. They have succeeded in giving it an ethnic color and i am fearful what might they do later as this is an election year.
This country was made not for Muslims of subcontinent but for the Muslim Army of subcontinent because they are the rulers and the civilians are here to serve them.
Looking back, what this military has given us. 3 misadventures which resulted in defeats, selling of our nationals to US for bounties, biggest corporation with hands in cement, banking, fertilizer, cereals and real estate; ethnic violences, killing of our own citizens in baluchistan and bajaur.
THIS COUNTRY WAS CREATED TO SERVE THE MILITARY IT SEEMS.
