I’m struggling to unveil the true picture that hold millions of colors, so bright and so shiny that can dazzle one’s eyes.

Pakistan meaning the “The land of pure” where each day the sun rises with a new hope, with an enduring majesty as the rays of light flushing down towards the snowcapped peaks of Himalaya’s and Nanga Parbat. A land where love finds a meaning in the heart warming hospitability of people, a land where history and ancient civilization mystifies one’s heart, a land where spiritualism unveils its mystery at the shrines of Sufi Saints. This is the land I belong to, this is the land I’ll die for and this is the land that defines my identity.

The Invincible 167 Million : 6th largest Nation of the World

Every drop of it shouts back loud ” You can never take us down, We’ll fight back till our last breath“. Reminding you this is the nation which has a 7th largest pool of scientists and Engineers in the World[1]. and the country that is ranked 9th in the world where English language is spoken and used as an official language [1].

    It is really a great work done,thank you for presenting positive image of Pakistan.
    Pakistan is facing all these terrorist activities by his own people who do not have vision and playing at the hands of Israel and India.They are mostly from the backward areas of Pakistan and have very poor knowledge of ISLAM.But i am afraid when these people who are ready to destroy own people as they are misguided by few external powers (specially by Israel who have complete knowledge of ISLAM)will come to know the reality then what will happen with Israel and India.These two countries should ready to face that time,i am waiting for it and ready to take part.
