Living outside Pakistan, any subtle or obvious reference to Pakistan, naturally catches our attention and make us feel proud.
In US at least I’ve noticed that if you go to any large retail place, you are guaranteed to see at least two items related to Pakistan. One is a made in Pakistan ‘soccer ball’ and other are the music CDs of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Occasionally one also comes across textile items from Pakistan.
Recently I’ve also seen books related to Benazir Bhutto se
lling in front shelves of book stores across US, Canada and China. I am sure same is the case in many other countries too.
Tonight I was walking with my family in a large retail store in rural Missouri when we came across this whole section of towels which were made in Pakistan (see both photos). I was happily surprised and bought one.
What items have you seen with ‘Made in Pakistan’ label?
Many Made in Pakistan T-Shirts can be found in Sears, Goody’s, JC Penney, Walmart and Kmart. Some are good quality, others are not. I always seek out Made in Pakistan stuff when I go clothes shopping, and buy it if it is nice and good price.
Used to love seeing surgical instruments “made in Pakistan”
Lately they ‘ve been taken over by made in China. Why?
Dont answer that. I know the reason.
Right now I am in a rush but later I would comment on the quality of the Tshirts “made in pakistan” that I tried in the mall.
Recently I got hand printed duvet, made in Pakistan, made me a happy Pakistani-American.
