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

Dear Raza,
You wrote the piece about Stranded Pakistanis well and with a heart, I am grateful. I want to learn more about your interests and inclinations, if you feel likewise please write back. Some how I had you in my gmail contacts, I have sent a note to you. God bless, Khalid
aww shucks …. the same happened with in Pakistan (is currently Happening in Pakistan and will remain to happen) … dont u realize most of the Minor Ethnic groups with in Pakistan have had the same fate …. let me give u a very sad example … there is a documentary on youtube about the Hira Mandi of Lahore …. in that most of the Call Girls/ Dancers/ Prostitutes/ etc. belong to the ethnic minority (and in most cases Muhajirs)
I never really understand the psyche of the average Pakistani…. It seems “ok” if a Pakistani harms another Pakistani in any way … but if a non-Pakistani harms a Pakistani … it is considered an act of Hatred and Discrimination.
WE ARE AS MUCH DISCRIMINATING AS ANY OTHER NATION WE TEND TO PORTRAY FOR THIS HEINOUS CRIME
so stop chanting the nationalist slogans and realize that we are on the same page as others we despise!
Dear Brother Rumi,
You article has opened my eyes. I now realize how all humans are equal and that all muslims are brothers.
May Allah give Biharis the best and if they want to live in Karachi or in other parts of Pakistan – all the power to them and Inshallah they will (Ameen). They truly are Pakistanis and it is the big heartedness of our Bangladeshi brothers who continue to accomodate them.
May Allah bless you Rumi Bhai.
