Democracy in Pakistan can be summed up by: A government of the elites, by the elites, and for the elites.

Marco Rubio Secretary of State for USA said today in a interview

"So, our relationship with Pakistan is not new. It's I think it's just developed in a way that allows us to have, hopefully, more influence over the decisions they make on a variety of topics. "

The regime exposed once again for being an American puppet yet we will sit in our homes in silence.

This artwork was really fun to draw!! it was also my first time drawing a trio but it turned out perfect!!

​

I noticed that whenever Pakistani politicians and ministers meet wealthy people, influential businessmen, celebrities, cricketers, or foreign visitors, they treat them with so much respect, hospitality, and VIP treatment.

But when it comes to ordinary Pakistani citizens, I often see politicians behaving arrogantly, dismissing people, or acting like they are above everyone else.

I live in Canada, and from what I have observed, politicians here generally seem more approachable and willing to interact with ordinary people. Of course Canadian politicians aren't perfect either but I feel there is a noticeable difference in political culture.

What bothers me is that politicians are supposed to serve ordinary citizens not just wealthy or influential people. A farmer, labourer, student, or shopkeeper deserves the same basic respect as a billionaire or celebrity.

Why does this double standard seem so common in Pakistan? Is it because of VIP culture, class differences, political connections, or a lack of accountability?

Has anyone personally experienced this behaviour from Pakistani politicians?

And for those who have lived abroad, have you noticed the same difference?

I would like to hear your thoughts.

Renowned economist Atif Mian has said Pakistan’s policy of sending its workers abroad is built to bring home foreign currency so that the elite can “live off DHA better,” and that this thinking has to change.

I have recently developed this hobby, i love to collect unique knives, e.g karambits, Otfs, folding knives, etc. My family started calling me wierd for having this hobby. Am i the only person here in Pak who has this hobby?

I was wondering that are all Hindus in Pakistan sindhi . As i have travelled around Pakistan i met different people so i also met with Hindus and all the Hindus i met till this day are sindhi they could be living in Sindh or Punjab and more over recently i met with Hindus who belong to Quetta .

so are there any Hindus who are not sindhi in Pakistan or not

I was at a store the other day , and next to me in line was a mother with her child , and the child kept talking in a forced accent English ( probably school teaching her this ) ,and the mother only responding to her child in English ,the child also asked few questions in broken Urdu but mother completely ignored her.

It got me thinking , it's 2026 end when are schools going to stop forcing kids to talk in English , and to the mothers , what kind of a child are you bringing up in this world that only speaks a language that isn't his/her own mother language ?now I understand one should be able to speak /write / understand English but children are very quick learners and they can learn multiple languages more easily than adults .

Sad to see the kid will develop a real severe personality clash as an adult when she grows up.

Domestic workers deserve better

I have seen a general trend of measly compensation being given to domestic workers in Pakistan. We all think inflation is hitting us hard - with all the resources we have been blessed with Alhamdu lillah, what about them?

The discrepancy between salaries of white collar workers, and domestic workers is astronomical in a lot of cases. We spend so much on luxuries / recreation, surely we can designate a small portion of that money to add to the salaries of our workers so that they have a relatively easier life.

You being generous towards them (or at least giving them what they rightfully deserve for the long hours they put in) will insha Allah benefit you as well as the benefits of being generous and helping the poor are well documented in Islam. I have witnessed this firsthand as well, Alhamdu lillah.

I’d really appreciate detailed answers. Please answer based on what you would actually spend, not what you think jeans should cost.

A little about how you shop:

1. Where do you usually buy your jeans from? For example: Levi’s, Outfitters, Breakout, LAMA, Khushposh, local/unbranded stores, thrift stores, imported brands, etc.
2. What is your usual budget for a pair of jeans? Basically, what price range are you normally comfortable shopping within?
3. How much does quality/longevity affect what you’re willing to pay? For example, would you rather pay Rs. 8,000 for jeans that fit well, look good and stay wearable for years, or Rs. 4,000 for jeans that might lose their shape, fade badly, or become unwearable much sooner? Basically, do you believe in the "girl math" idea that an expensive item can actually be the better deal if you wear it a lot? Think cost per wear — something expensive that you wear 100 times could be better value than something cheap that you only wear 10 times.
4. Are you male or female, and what problems do you usually face when buying jeans? Please be specific here. It could be length, waist-to-thigh proportions, inconsistent sizing, rise, fit, lack of certain styles/washes, poor fabric, jeans losing their shape, limited sizes, etc.

Now for the actual pricing questions.

Imagine you found a pair of jeans that you really liked in terms of design, fit and style, and they appeared to be genuinely good quality.

Q1 — Too expensive:
At what price would you think, "No, that's too expensive for a pair of jeans" and no longer consider buying them?

Q2 — Too cheap:
At what price would they become so cheap that you'd actually start questioning the quality? As in, "At this price, I doubt these are genuinely good jeans or will last very long."

Q3 — Expensive, but still worth considering:
At what price would you think, "That's expensive and right at the edge of what I'm willing to spend," but after thinking about it, you'd still buy them if you really liked them?

Q4 — Bargain:
At what price would you see them as a genuinely good deal for the quality — cheap enough that you'd think, "Yeah, that's a bargain"?

Would especially appreciate if you answer all four prices in PKR.

A while ago, a relative asked me to build a POS-style business management system for their business. They needed the usual POS functionality, along with some additional features to manage day-to-day operations.
I built that application and handed it over. Later, I took the same codebase as a starting point and developed it into BMS — Business Management System.
The current version has 10 modules covering areas such as sales, inventory, purchases, customer credit, deliveries, expenses, employee management, and reporting.
A few things about BMS:

• It works offline.
• It's available for Android and Windows.
• The core application is free.
• It's designed to run on ordinary, low-end hardware.
• It doesn't require an online account or recurring subscription to use the local application. The idea is to give small businesses a straightforward way to manage their operations without having to pay for expensive software or depend on an internet connection. I've attached screenshots from the actual application so you can see how it works. BMS website: https://bms.barqpash.com/ Feedback and suggestions are welcome, especially from people who run small businesses or work with business management software.

The motifs are from a Khes design. The background colour seemed more reasonable and makes it look majestic, no other reason than that. I was going to use green bg (as yk fertile land stuff). Five Motifs symbolise five rivers, and obviously a River at the bottom; too many of these zigzag lines might've made this flag look over filled. Any suggestions? Though it is complete it still feels off, I really am not satisfied with my own design.

So earlier this year, there's a school in my neighborhood. I also get my matric done from that school and it's a horrible env their, sticks uses on every single mistake, teachers beat student as they were beating animals (that part is rare one), and that's not the end.... One teacher watch bad videos with students also named students after Jonny.... Etc Sooo after I done my matric and in college an organization start working their e.g: competitions, programs, and more physical activities... So they got to know everything about it and choose to take action, my younger brother who's still in that school (8th class)... He gathered testimonies and written statements. Once enough proofs gathered we went to the higher authority, they took our concerns seriously and immediately fired teacher that named students, warned every other teacher for not using sticks, fired principal too (principal is a friend of that teacher and also beat students and frequently says: "<school name> ne rkha hi humee Marne ke Liye hai') we're happy everything good not a single teacher can beat students but that's all lasted for just a week. After that week principal came back in school (safarish), we didn't took immediate actions we waited, after a month a principal beats student and locked the staff room with the student to beat him. So we got to work again and did a massive campaign against him. I posted a post here on reddit at that time and get contacted by a person who's willing to help me in any matter, they helped me contact with child abuse NGOs their lawyers are ready to handle it... But me myself fear going to court cuz of the Pakistan's judicial system and main problem is my exams... So what our team thought wait... If no one listened to us so we'll take them to court. I told everything to my father gave them copies of testimonies and videos, my father said wait and let me do my work, I was like okay do it... And after months waiting the principal changed and a new principal came who burned the sticks, gave sat holiday (ex-principal stopped it while the system allows it), did reforms on punishments. I may told it as it all happens in 1 week but this all took a year of struggle. But I'm not stopping here... We will end the child abuse from every school of Pakistan, and you yourself may do this the gov have laws on it, and no teacher have authority to slap a student.

Honourable mentions:

The organization: Islami Jamiat Talba

My younger sibling who get caught and on the principal's target.

A person who guarantee me the support of NGOs and media.

And my other friends.

Someone please tell me this is fake.
