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

Hi,
Through my years of growing up as a child,I always wondered,that why did Heer and Ranjha had to die? It does not make sense to me.They were killed in the name of “honour” and “culture” which I think was and is very stupid!
And how stupid could it get,that after killing them,someone convinently built their tomb, signifying,their victory!
It is very frustrating…”They didn’t have to die” this line keeps repeating itself in my mind.
Anyhow,I want to know,how was Heer’s tomb made? and Who came up with this idea?
I would kill myself,if it turns out to be someone from her family!
Waiting for the answer.
ciao.
