Masha-Allah.... Great beauty of our land.
AbuJamal Bhai, excellent work and good details to go along. I wonder if you were educated in US, you have a nice, coherent, concise writng style, Masha-Allah.
I kept thinking while going thru this post, how much our land is blessed by Allah (S.W.T),yet we treat this part of our country in particular, as a foreign land.
Those people that live there, they are also our fellow Pakistanis, yet they don't have proper hospitals, schools to educate them, and proper housing facilities, roads and electricity, or even proper clothing. If some government and ordinary people of Pakistan do something to help those Pakistanis, they can be a great asset to our society.
Bollywood filmakers would forget about Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aishwarya Rai, once they see these people, they would be going crazy to shoot their movies in Pakistan and cast these Good Looking, well educated (if we and when we decide to educate them) Pakistanis. Just a thought.. I did not mention Lollywood here on purpose, because they are NOT a proper Film Making industry, sadly.
The Pakistanis like us, just ignore these North Pakistanis, yet they always have a smile on their faces when they see their fellow Pakistanis visiting them. Incredible.
I mean less than 1 in one million Pakistanis visit that area. If you ever go, you find more foreigners than Pakistanis in that part of Pakistan. How much we neglect and not Thank Allah (S.W.T) for what has been given to us, instead, shamefully, most of us Pakistan, all the time just complain and curse the country we did NOT deserve day and night.
May Allah (S.W.T) guide us and protect us, from calamitise, civil disruptions, in-house fighting, un-necessary hatred, etc. Ameen.
