This photograph, was taken yesterday (Nov. 2) by Khalid Tanveer of the Associated Press. Take from a different angle, it continues to boggle the mind. It is a train coming back from Multan after a religious congregation. Was this just a photo-op or were they actually traveling like this.
Did anyone call the Gunniess Book of World Records to count the number of people stuck to the train?
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
There exists such a thing as “Wahabization” of Sufism as well… it is not discussed very often but we see that these “tolerant” Muslims are now increasingly radical to match the radicalism of Wahabi Muslims… and often there is little or nothing that separates them from each other.
The fantasy of low church and high church now only exists in the make-believe world of academia.
Totally out of context.
Saw you on Geo yesterday, and you looked as informative and nice as you did about a decade ago on PTV :)
Rock on…

nice picture showing the openness in pakistani society ,that the will of people works and life chills ,no matter how bad the economic condition and how much third class leaders we have in our country.
we live strong even under extreme poverty and show resilence to any form .
Speaks volumes for the kind of education they received from the religious congregation.
