Although the world has become a global village, However your recognition and pride remain your own motherland. We are proud Pakistanis and under these belligerences of today, Pakistan appear to be a thorn in the eyes of every one. It is a country with unlimited potentional in intellect, blesing of Allah, enjoying the title of being first in salt production, second in gold production, sixth largest and most professional army, wheat and rice producer, Nuclear arsnel holder and many more. If the country would have been managed honestly, it would have been ahead of Japan, Singapore and Malaysia. If the pages of history are scanned, it would reveal that the political leadership, which come by wealth and not intellect has marred the destiny of the country being morally and intellectually corrupt and the cream of the nation is not let come forward and serve the country to afford it the status of great nation that it deserve.
