warning. this is a long post. please don't read unless you read the entire thing.

in my opinion it was pretty disgusting. Jinnah used religious differences that had not prevented over 900 years of coexistence to fuel the drive to create a country. A great example of this coexistence is described in 'Empires of the Indus' by Alice Albinia (http://www.amazon.com/Empires-Indus-The-Story-River/dp/0393338606) that is instructive:

"Whatever Latif (referring to Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai) was, his Risalo is not the work of a dogmatist. It contains few tenants of any kind, whether Sufi, Shia, or Sunni. It is certainly the work of a Muslim - but no more stridently than Shakespeare's plays are coloured by Christianity. Just as Shakespeare has been called a Protestant, Catholic, atheist, and the inventor of romantic love, so, according to the Sindhi historian Hussamuddin Rashdi, the same fate has befallen Latif.

Shah Abdul Latif has always been as beloved by Sindhi Hindus as Sindhi Muslims, and every year Hindu scholars from India are invited to the government-sponsored literary festival, held during the urs. Latif himself spent some three years in the company of Hindu yogis, and he praises them in his poetry:

I find not today my Yogi friends in their abodes;
I have shed tears all the night, troubled by the pang of their parting;
The Holy Ones for whom my heart yearneth, have all disappeared.

Latif's Risalo, then, exemplifies the easy spiritual interaction that exists between the two faiths, an easiness that has been acquired after centuries of cohabitation. This legacy is an irony in a country based on the separation of Muslim and Hindu (referring to Pakistan), and it is wonderful that this syncretism has survived....

..I arrive at Urderolal at dusk. As I climb down from the bus I can hear that the mela, the fair, has begun: through the loudspeakers mandatory to any subcontinental religious event, bhajans - Hindu devotional songs - are being chanted; and in the background is a steady wall of noise, the coming and going of pilgrims. I turn the corner in the road and see the massive Mughal fort, with its five-foot-thick walls, which enclose a mosque, a temple, and the tomb of a man whom Muslims call Shaikh Tahir and the Hindus call Jhulelal or Urderolal - and whom everybody calls Zindapir. Today it is Zindapir's birthday.

As I am circumambulating Zindapir's tomb with the crowd, a Hindu family arrives, bearing a traditional green Muslim cloth, inscribed with Quranic verses, which they drape over the tomb in thanksgiving. In the adjacent room, devotees are queuing up to pray to a roomful of Hindu images. In the room next to that are the graves of the four Muslim Shaikhs who - according to the Hindu legend - granted Zindapir the land, free of charge, on which to build a temple in the 10th century. Outside in the courtyard, is a tree the branches of which are hung with pieces of coloured cloth, the wishes of supplicants of both faiths.

I have been invited to the Hindu-only festivities by Diwan Lekraj, a member of the Evacuee Trust Property Board set up after Partition to protect the monuments of the absent 'minorities'. Diwan is a Hindu, but he is almost indistinguishable from the Muslims around him. There is nothing in his dress (shalwar kameez) or his language (Urdu) or his car or his house to draw attention to his 'minority' faith. Perhaps the horrors of Partition taught Pakistan's Hindus that it was wiser thus. Or maybe there really is not much to distinguish them after all, as the story of Zindapir's two faiths suggest...

  • Empires of the Indus, pp. 94-99.

    Can a Hindu really be a Pakistani, if Pakistan was founded on the basis that Hindus and Muslims are different civilizations? Events like the one described in the book run counter to the popular narrative surrounding Pakistan’s creation. Many Pakistanis will claim that they bear ill will against Hindus or any religion, and as a Pakistani I can say that this is true. However, this does not change the fact that our founding narrative treats Hindus and by extension Sikhs as fundamentally different and that had partition not happened we would live in existential fear of imminent extinction at their hands.

I think folks have done a decent job of answering your questions. I will add the following.
Pakistan is not very DIY, and so not easy for foreigners trying to do everything by themselves, but it can become quite easy if you have good local guides. For example, if you cant buy a pullup bar or weight vest, someone can custom make one for you quite easily, but a local person has to help you find the maker.

If you are interested in outdoor adventures like snowboarding and kayaking, there are a few things near Pindi/Isloo, but Pindi is also a great launching pad for things further up country. You will find some of the world's greatest out door adventures in Pakistan's northern areas. I suggest you start with Lonely Planet's guide to trekking the Karakorams. Lonely Planet's online resources can be helpful too.

BTW, what brings you to Pindi?

>If it wasn't for these organizations, your veterans would be on the street.

I didn't say they were throwing money in the garbage or burning it. I said that it should be properly counted as part of the defense budget, which it currently isn't. This makes the defense budget appear smaller than it really is.

>Profits from Askari and FF don't come from the tax revenue or federal budget. The taxes from these companies go into boosting the budget.

What taxes? So far as I know, none of them pay taxes. FF, Askari, Shaheen and Bahria were all created under the Endowment Act as charitable foundations, and are therefore tax exempt.

>How is the act of creating business "extracting a lot of money out of the country"?

They don't create money out of vacuum. The military currently owns about 12% of Pakistan's entire land area, including some of the most expensive and useful land in the country. These are public assets that the military is using to generate income, so it's not exactly de novo wealth created by the military.

It's also pretty opaque. You can't just demand balance sheets and full accounting information from them, like you could from an ordinary business. Ayesha Siddiqa's book goes into detail about just how secretive these welfare foundations are, what kind of hold they have on the government that allows them to get sweetheart deals that are off-limits to the public.

I wish you best of luck with the endeavour. A few suggestions

  • Please quality control your product
  • If it's cheap material and going to go bad after two washes than your business is not going anywhere. I can already buy extremely cheap shirts online
  • Figure out what differentiates you from your competitors
  • Take a look at Markhor.com. These guys (founders are a guy and girl) are doing an excellent job of product messaging and marketing, market differentiation, quality control and customer service. They way I found out about them was thru a blog talking about how they are trying to be a sustainable and a humane business who looks after their workers. They did a crowd funding for raising funds and message that worked for me personally was their desire (genuine or not) to pay their workers well and to support them.
  • check out a book called ["The startup owner's manual"](The Startup Owner's Manual: The Step-By-Step Guide for Building a Great Company https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0984999302/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_TdJWAb555BTCG)
  • See if you can incorporate US pricing on the website of you hope to sell overseas and you should be planning to see oversees.

    Starting your own thing is hard but is well worth the effort. Again, wish you best of luck!

What quality do you want the games to be? In Pakistan gaming parts are insanely expensive, my GTX 1060 cost me nearly 40,000 alone. I'd recommend just not buying parts here if it's possible for delivery from abroad.

If you're sure, what city do you live in? I can recommend some general parts you might want to aim for in that range.

  • CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 (an X isn't necessary)
  • GPU: Get either a Radeon RX 580 (I'd recommend this) or a GTX 1060 (wouldn't recommend now with the shift to DX12 but it's not a huge difference)
  • RAM: Stick with either 8gb or 16gb, if you have the remaining money go for 16 gb but make sure you go for dual channel (two sticks totaling one amount) meaning 2x4 or 2x8. The fps difference between dual channel and single channel is a lot.
  • Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk (you should read up on compatibility it has with the ryzen, you may need to install some drivers, if you're interested I can read up on it and tell you myself.)
  • Storage: Go for an SSD, forget HDDs since the performance difference between a SSD to an HDD is quite insane. An older samsung 970 evo is likely the perfect choice for you.

    As for your PSU, cooling and case. Stick to air cooling and see what cases you have in terms of availability nearby, people really try to rip you off. This thermaltek case is what I got in Karachi for around 8000 Rs. You probably won't need additional fans with this so the cooling is mostly eh.

    As for PSUs, never cheap out on these. I'm not entirely sure about the availability here in Pakistan, but it depends on your parts really. You will likely need a stabilizer to ensure your computer isn't blown up incase of short circuits, load shedding or low voltage. I'd recommend the EVGA 650 GQ but once again, EVGA doesn't sell in Pakistan so I'll have to look into it.

    I think you may get these within your budget or you may or may not end up going outside your budget because of the GPU. If you're gonna order online or get retail it also changes things. Feel free to ask any questions, also check out groups on facebook like Pakistani PC Gamers as u/muhammad1236 recommended, you might be able to learn a bit more since I'm not invested in the Pakistani market (made my pc a year ago) but I can give you the general outlook.

Another cookie-cutter article in American news showing Pakistan as some sort of an alien place which has gone off the tracks. If I had a dollar for everyone of these articles...

Jinnah's "secular" quotes are taken so out of context. It's crazy.

Islam promotes tolerance and freedom of religion. Jinnah's "freedom of religion"/"secular" quotes are completely in line with Islamic beliefs. The freedom to practice religion is not alien in Islam. It's promoted. Surah-Al-Kafiroon in the Quran is a prime example of that:

https://quran.com/109

Jinnah constantly called for a "Muslim" democracy.

A must read is Jinnah's last public speech. At the State Bank, where he calls for an "Islamic" banking system:

http://www.sbp.org.pk/about/history/h_moments.htm

A must read also is "Secular Jinnah & Pakistan" by Saleena Karim which completely debunks the secular Jinnah picture that some have painted.

http://secularjinnah.co.uk/

https://www.amazon.ca/Secular-Jinnah-Pakistan-Nation-Doesnt/dp/190662822X

This is a good little 3 minute listen, too: Jinnah's last words:

https://youtu.be/WheUolk-VGM

And, this is a good read, too:

Okay, now we're talking but is there any way to order bulk via online?

EDIT:

Looks like people already jumped on that idea, and I'm glad they're made in Pakistan

Thank you for showing me this, it really made my day to know Pakistan makes something that I think is absolutely beautiful.

u/Aubash · 26 pointsr/pakistan

Read all her tweets and watch some of her interviews on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOS43zILE8w), she is a great historian that has been targeted by the Indian Hindu right wing for supporting the truth. She must be given a high platform to speak the truth louder and wider.

Fluent in Sanskrit and knowledgable in Persian, she is the author of Culture of Encounters: Sanskrit in the Mughal Court, Aurangzeb: The Man and The Myth and Aurangzeb: The Life and Legacy of India's Most Controversial King - Please purchase a copy to read, and share it with everyone who's interested. She MUST be invited to speak in Pakistan and the government must promote her.

I had heard of this catalogue being released at some point. You are right, it does seem quite excessive and Express Tribune does tend to suck. Maybe it's one of those really high quality art books (with that very thick paper and nice printing). We can forget about any private collector being nice enough to lend it for a while...I will ask around though..perhaps I might get the opportunity to 'raid' some uncle's private library.

I found another couple of interesting books on the subject matter:
Sadequain: Strokes of Picasso - Scale of Michelangelo

Albert Camus and Sadequain (Volume 1)

I was particularly interested in the Albert Camus one, I will look around at some local book stores to skim through it. The books are paperback so I am not sure if there are any scaled down copies of the original art work that I really want to see (the child inside me wants to see drawings). I will let you know if I find something cool.

Edit: I had a look at the Amazon preview, there do seem to be nice reprints of some drawings in there

Sometimes it makes a huge amount of difference to go through a proper exercise in understanding the business model. Use this: http://6w2x.com/mm-devel/mmc-canvasv01explained.html to fill out all the sections so you understand your business model. Ideally, you should get your hands on the book itself: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Business-Model-Generation-Visionaries-Challengers/dp/0470876417

Traffic, fan base, etc come later, once you've decided on things like your value proposition, customer segments, distribution channels, etc. Then you execute on the plan, targeting the segments and measuring the responses. Be data orientated from day 1 so learn about customer acquisition and retention. It may be that assumptions that have gone into the model are not correct and you have to make changes. Investing your time now on this will pay dividends later.

Good luck.

This is considered by many to be the best program available in the US: http://sasli.wisc.edu/
In addition, I would recommend the following - I have taught from them:

Hope that helps.

Try these written by ex- Pakistan's Ambassador to United States, Hussain Haqqani

  1. Pakistan: Between Mosque and Military
  2. Magnificent Delusions: Pakistan, the United States, and an Epic History of Misunderstanding

    And perhaps The Blood Telegram, a memoir of Archer Blood who was an American Diplomat in East Pakistan.

If you're willing to make a worthwhile investment, I recommend this:
