What no one told you about Pakistan

Pakistan: Does a veiled woman make you uncomfortable? (Tribune)

How does veil make people feel in a Muslim country. Personally I am no one to tell a woman what she should wear but yes there are few things which I have a strong opinion about - and some people might not like them. (via umalik)

A discussion you wouldn’t think be happening in Pakistan, but hey here is something to surprise you with.

Naseer & Shahab - Za Pukhtoon Yam

I am not very fond of “ethnic nationalism” but this is first of all very catchy, secondly it has a point which is dear to my heart as it breaks the stereotypes against Pakhtun (esp given war in Afghanistan and tribal areas of Pakistan), and finally it has beautiful lyrics!

The enemy brands it as a language of hell, 
To heaven I will go with Pashto. (Ameer Hamza Shinwari)
