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 really think we should all send emails to Geo, ARY or Aaj asking that they broadcast this during Aug 14 telecast. This is so true about our times today.
whenever we hear The Great Leader, he shows the
sense of Great Responsibility one must have in a Gentleman world, that was already flourishing!
The song is twisted, but hath recieved! The throne of ‘dictatorship of masses’ is the thrones that are tumbling!
Someone imported Secularism into A Muslim State but then ‘hum dekhain ge’kaisay ye ladin din e Islam ko jhutlain ge,kaisay ye naslon ko ghairon ki sooli pehnain ge,hum dekhain ge InShahAllah dehkain ge,
Someone imported pillars of Money Satanism and usury into a Muslim State but again ‘Hum Dekhain ge kaisay chalien ge’
Someone imported the worst co2 emmitting three wheelers and thier hegemony but it is their throne that has tumbled and ‘hum dekhian ge ye rickshaw bombs khatam honge’
Somemanyones wrote off over a unwritten constitution that Mr Jinnah and Nawabzada Liaqat served with, but wo likari nahin balki hum dekhain ge, ab konsa constitutional lawyer khil khil hans dega ,is jurm ke haqqi ahtasab, sab samne apne dekhain ke ,jis peoples ke maan pe rishwat ke bazaar garm kiay jate rahe,aur aik aik kar ke watan ki shaanen farangi ke lie sajai gai ,wo log jo un ke bal lehaz pe khud ko numaian karte hain ,hum dekhain ke wo kaisay ik lafz e rawan ki mehfil me koi saz tak bajain to ,hum dekhain ge..

Salam Pakistan!
Adil !! splendid job .. must say awe-inspiring and noteworthy
keep it up
The notion that one can only by a Pakistani by living in Pakistan is a little absurd. Not everyone who lives in Pakistan ‘serves’ Pakistan, and not everyone who leaves it ‘deserts’ it. Many who live in Pakistan have actually deserted its ideals and many who live elsewhere still serve it in other ways.
But these are individual matters and I am glad Prof. Najam has not taken the bait by trying to respond.
Very nicely done. Keep it up.
