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

Yes, overall a good movie, after a long time
I have just returned from an Ahmedabad theatre that is screening “Ramchand Pakistani”. What an incredibly powerful film, so wonderfully assembled and performed. I have known and admired Javed Saheb for many years — I had no idea that he had such a marvelously talented daughter. I came home and tried unsuccesfully to call them to say how thrilled and privileged I feel to be able to see “Ramchand” here. It deserves the widest audience, not just in our countries but all over this planet so that one day the Ranchands of this world can walk free. In this city we must do what we can to ensure that its young people have access to this important film. I hope as well that many in Pakistan will have seen it, and good cinema can do whatpoliticians seldom can. And if Javed, Mehreen and the family see this, “Thank you” to you all! Ashoke Chatterjee
