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?
I have seen bed sheets and other related cotton items in IKEA in Dubai. In addition to this now a days one can find Mangoes in summer and Kinnos in Winter.
You guys forgot bedsheet, linens are really spurring up and mostly all made in pakistan even for branded ones like wamsutta, Hillfiger etc.
It’s nice to see .
Dr. Haider, i also had a similar experience as yours. In one of my previous jobs, all the tweezers used in our lab had ‘Pakistan’ written on them. They were most likely the product of Wazirabad.
Once I was talking to a veterenarian from Thailand who told me that cheapest (price wise) surgical instruments for their animal clinic came from Pakistan
I am a scientist and we have tweezers that are “Made in Pakistan” in our lab. We have three kinds of tweezers one that are Swedish and the others are made in USA and Pakistan. It feels good to see a product that is comparable to Swedish and USA product. Pakistani tweezers are lot cheaper than the other two. Ofcourse there is a difference in quality but not as much as is the difference in price that is why I guess Pakistani surgical instruments are surviving.
