Hello Fellow Pakistanis

Welcome to PKonweb.com – a portal for Pakistan, Pakistanis and Pakistan affairs.

Operating simultaneously from the United States and Pakistan, PKonweb endeavors to present the good, the not so good and even the ugly news, views, blogs, comments, forums, editorials, articles, cartoons and photos on Pakistan, Pakistanis and Pakistan affairs as they appear in major newspapers online as well as on other news portals on the worldwide web.

PKonweb has been initiated by a small group of Pakistanis led by Irshad Salim, who is New York based. The PK group continues to grow.

The idea of PKonweb.com germinated in September 2008 but it was not until March 2009 that it evolved into a visible bud. Since then it has been growing…blossoming into a sunflower of thoughts and opinions ranging from the most mundane to the most controversial.

The team also plans to launch a weekly Urdu newspaper “DesPardes” or “PK” from the northern tri-state areas of the USA, i.e. New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Efforts are on to hopefully launch it soon. We are but keeping our fingers crossed as it is an ambitious venture. The debate on the choice of name continues but with your input the matter can be settled in favor of popular choice. So send us your comment.

At PKonWeb.com, we strive daily to help you find related and relevant information on Pakistan-specific news, views, pix, toons politics, health and family issues and advices on cities, technologies, music, movies, events, activities and more. The items of interests will continue to grow as we expand our base.

By collecting information on Pakistan from major search engines, the internet and from other sources, we strive to be independent, unbiased, bold, aggressive even if the subject is most controversial. You can either have a say by posting your comment on each article or you can join our discussion forum and create your own topic.

We also welcome ideas, suggestions from you on improving our portal to make it more interesting, effective and enjoyable. You can contact us at editor@pkonweb.com with your ideas, criticisms, suggestions. Both bouquets and brickbats are acceptable no matter to which side of the intellectual ocean you may belong to.

A team of honorary and consulting editors, contributors, bloggers and reporters drive this news portal 24 hours a day. From USA, Canada, UK, South Asia, Pakistan and the Middle East, these great individuals are striving to keep the portal updated round the clock – that is 24/7. The team is gradually growing in number. You are welcome to join the team too. Just email us at editor@pkonweb.com or tweet us at http://twitter.com/pkonweb

A new team member is voted in by the rest of the team members based on our policy, criteria and standards. So any one of you can join the team as long as you meet our standards based on credentials you present to us or you can become a citizen journalist to begin with. After few submissions and contributions you may then be voted in as a regular contributor/blogger. But it is not guaranteed.

Have a good surfing and PKabad!
