The new incoming government has a big challenge at its hand :
Rebuilding the image of Pakistan.
Whether you like this new government or not, but you can help it build the country image of Pakistan. Pakistan is our heritage, Pakistan is our pride, Pakistan is our motherland. So please forget your likes or dislikes for the politician of Pakistan or new govt. setup. Just do it for the people of Pakistan who are victim of circumstances.
Please jot down your ideas as to how this new govt. can rebuild the lost country image of Pakistan. I have seen so many Pakistanis who conceal the fact that they are from Pakistan and when asked they would name some country other than Pakistan as their country of origin. Please make them proud enough again so that they would feel pride to be a Pakistani not ashamed of it.
I am sure some GS member will have connections to this new incoming govt. and that GS member can convey these ideas to this new government.
So start churning that idea machine please.
Re: Country image of Pakistan.
Mirch bhaijan. Very good post.
The only way Pakistan can rebuild its image, and allow the so-called Pakistanis to once again claim that they are from Pakistan or originate from Pakistan is to eradicate the terrorism that is eminating from this country.
Pakistan has become synonimous with terrorism. I believe the eople that you refer to are not ashamed of being Pakistanis or originating from Pakistan, they are just ashamed of being labelled from a nation that is becoming a hub for terrorist activities.
The future govt. needs to work together with the President, Pakistani Army, and the USA, to eradicate the menace of terrorism from Pakistan to improve the nations image.
This is the biggest challenge, and success in this sector will allow the people that are trying to hide their identity to once again be proud to say where they originate from.
Re: Country image of Pakistan.
Pakistan is not the 'hub of terrorism' it is infiltrated by outsiders like RAW agents to make it look like an unstable place. Please make your record straight.
Foreign media spreads 200% or even more exaggeration of what really is in Pakistan.
People of Pakistan are peace lovig and fun loving.
Re: Country image of Pakistan.
Terrorism is th enumber one problem in Pakistan. But radical islamic speech -making is as bad as the bombing attacks because these two feed upon each other. When somebody makes a speech claiming islam is under attack that inspires some misguided person to start a bomb attack; when a bomb attack occurs and authorities come down on perpetrators, the concerned outfit claims islam is under attack, thus giving raise to another hot speech.
oh, in addition to these two, something must be done about people such as #3 poster here who try to mislead public away from real problem by blaming cosmic rays, global warming and India!
Re: Country image of Pakistan.
Your first paragraph has no intelligent point so I will ignore that.
I made a valid point after reading post #2 so this 'hub of terrorism' sort of non-sense gets washed out of people mind.
This propaganda against Pakistan has been spread over and over again and is now become a joke for many Pakistani. I laugh when I see foreign media portraying negative image of Pakistan through exaggeration and dramatization.
As for the involvement in Pakistan by RAW to destaibilize it............its as factual as you reading this post and getting (false) denial thoughts in your mind!
Coming to the topic, govt. of Pakistan has to do one thing if not anything else is to continue to make country stronger against invaders and spies/terrorist from various other countries like India.
Re: Country image of Pakistan.
The biggest challenge any new government will have in Pakistan will be how to make our people and this country UNITED!!! Until we stand united, this country will continue struggling.
If inshallah we do become united, Pakistans problems will begin to solve and our image will improve automatically.
Re: Country image of Pakistan.
Deedawar: The reality is that Pakistan is being percieved as a terrorist hub, all around the world.
You can continue to live in your 'brain washed' world that RAW is doing all this or wake up to the fact that the contradictions in Pakistans Jihadi policys of the past are to blame for much of the ills seen today.
The first step has been taken - democracy has pervailed - now the other steps of getting rid of the iron grip of the Army on civilian institutions must begin.
India wants peace & trade for properity with Pak - not continuous poverty & wars.

Please grow up.
If your cow goes missing RAW where behind it.
If flour prices go up RAW behind it.
Electricity goes down RAW behind it.
You have PAKISTANI planning and accepting RESPONSIBILITY for launching acts of TERRORISM against other PAKSITANIES and the WORLD yet you cant accept it.

Well! It would be imprudent to assume, despite the air of friendship between Pakistan and India at the moment, that the intelligence agencies of both countries are presently not involved in some sort of subversive activities towards each other.
There is a lot of activity of RAW on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border for sometime now. I have plenty of hearsay from my friends in the army to what they are involved in there, but nothing that I can put it as evidence.
Re: Country image of Pakistan.
Look I do hope RAW is active in the Pakistan frontier collecting intelligence. That is certainly their mission and there is nothing secretive about that mission.
That is different from accusing them of bombings in Pakistan which even every child knows caused by the jihadi extreme outfits avenging government acts such as Lal Masjid, FATA /Baloochi etc.
Common sense will tell you that it is in India's interest to have a stable government in Pakistan ...not only for trade but also for preventing nuclear material falling into the extreme elements
Accusing RAW knowing these things doesn't bother RAW a bit but does mislead Pakistanis themselves and protects the real perpetrators within Pakistan; thus you are enabling further bombings by these outfits against your own people

Seems like India is fast catching on dumbness of Bushism.
Re: Country image of Pakistan.
Ehtasab - why would you think it is dumb to suspect the risk of nuclear material faling into the wrong hands? I base my suspicion of such risk on following:
1) There are Al Qaueda sympathizers within Pakistan's military, intelligence and government establishments - this has been acknowledged by your own president and others
2) Your military has time and again proved they cannot be controlled by civilian or democratic institutions;
3) Your intelligence establishment has time and gain proved they do not merely act out government's agenda but have their own
As a result government does not have complete control of nuclear assets. This was proven repeatedly when the proliferation by A.Q.Khan network was exposed.
Pakistani based radical jihadi groups have openly targetted India numerous times.
Given this back ground an dthe access that such radical jihadi groups have into the government, intelligence and military establishments of Pakistan, it a definite risk that India and the other regional countries will have to watch out for.

Believe me, all of it has nothing to do with stability in Pakistan. If dirty minds want to get their hands on dirty bomb they can get it even if it is all stable and fully peaceful, all this BS of dirty minds getting to a dirty bomb thru violent take over is crap IMO.

Do you even try to understand what you post. Let me try and explain to you what you have written.
1) According to you Pakistan is not the 'hub of terrorism' it is infiltrated by outsiders like RAW agents to make it look like an unstable place.
You also agree that Pakistan has been made to look like an unstable place. What the poster here wants to know is what can be done to make Pakistan look like a stable place. It might be RAW which might be making Pakistan looking like an unstable place. That is the topic for a different discussion. Your thoughts can be on how to stop RAW doing what it is doing.
2) Also you mention that foreign media spreads 200% or even more exaggeration of what really is in Pakistan.
That exactly is the problem. The average Joe in US reads the media and thinks all that is true. So the image of Pakistan is going to take a beating. Hence the Pakis have to say that they are from a different country when questioned about their origin.
3)People of Pakistan are peace lovig and fun loving..
Nobody discounts this. The poster here wants to understand on what the government can do to change the perception about Pakistan that is prevalent now..
Please think before you post. It will save a lot of hot air...

You said the reality is that..........but continue as what Pakistan is PERCIEVED as..........
'Percieved' does not mean truth and fact.
Percieved means what is imagined and what is believed..........but not fact or truth.

First of all, Pakis do not have to be ashamed of being from Pakistan.
Secondly, I do understand what I write and the meaning of what I wrire as I understand.
Moreover, I did write about what this current Govt should do to change the image of Pakistan is by protecting the land of Pakistan from spies and terrorists infiltrated from India as RAW agents. Read my previous post.
Pakistani people are sick and tired of outsiders being infiltrated into the country from everywhere and give Pakistan bad reputation. Pakistani people are peace and fun loving as I mentioned earlier in other post.

Nice try. You know the questions are foolish, yet you asked.
My answer........think before, if you have the ability to think, before you ask.
Re: Country image of Pakistan.
Blaming RAW for these attacks is foolish and covers up our own responsibility.
All of these jihadi tanzeemat were supported and trained by our agencies to fight in Held Kashmir and Afghanistan. Now they are killing our own people. To deny that all these terrorists are in Pakistan makes us look silly.
Pakistan IS the global terrorist adda now. We need to face that reality and clean up fast. Denying it and blaming others is dangerous.
