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

I really admire Mohammed Hanif’s writings and have always been impressed by his frank views.
Regarding ISI & RAW I would just like to add that while ISI is strictly controlled by the army, RAW is always headed by a civilian. Plus ISI has draconian powers within their country (as mention in exploding mangoes), RAW (as far my little knowledge goes) does not interfere in internal matters.
I felt good reading the article. It is nice to know that there are serious attempts to get rid of the mutual misconceptions and distrust from the other side of the border also. I appreciate the effort. In this age of web technology we should not be dependent on the politicians to lead us to the path of mutual harmony and respect.
I think more than anything else, it may kindly be made clear in minds of many Indian friends that why they are so tempted to long for “re-union” of both countries! Why cannot we live side by side as two mutually respecting countries? They must understand even in a marriage spouses do not loose their identity. If someone suggests me to loose my identity, it will cause me deeply insecure.
