I came across a brilliant blog post on dawn.com. It was about improving pakistan’s world image by a pepsi campaign…it carries information on the searches that most indians do and make their country sound better in google search terms :-)(may be they use bots their huge internet savvy population or just influence google)…sounds ridiculous..read on..btw one better point to start with for us could be to stop blaming the west for our problems :D..read on..brilliant piece of work…
“Pakistan’s recent appearance in the infamous US ‘countries of interest’ list, which isn’t exactly the list of most favoured nations, has brought the country’s international reputation to an all-time low. A fun Google experiment has been going around the blogosphere lately to see what popular Google searches say about certain things. Apparently typing in “Pakistan is…” reveals exactly how bad our public image has been lately. The not-so-pleasant looking list of Google suggestions speaks for itself:”
…
When I tried the above query myself, I got marginally better results, with the most entertaining Google suggestion yet: “Pakistan is building robotic army.” Really getting into this Google experiment, and getting out my one true gut-reaction as a Pakistani, I typed in “India is…” for a comparative perspective:
What I got was my socks knocked off. The disparity was shocking! Clearly those professional-looking media savvy Indians, with all their networking skills, and public relations finesse, and all their sophisticated lobbying were getting the word out that India is great, India is a developing country, and India might just be the richest/best country in the world.
While we’ve had all our resources and energies concentrated on security and defense, the Indians, as smart as they are, have been maneuvering a very successful media campaign to promote their digital and electronic image to the fullest. There is no other choice. We must retort!
You get respect if you are strong and can solve problems on your own.
Pakistan problem grew when they invited the americans into the country security and economy has never been so bad.
So first thing is to remove the cause of problem and tell the american military bye bye because since they arrival bombs going of almost daily in all major cities and this damage security and image of pak going down and down!
@NotHappy please read that blog post before you set your confused mind into a discussion that's beyond your brain...
@javed you're right it started with US military coming to your country. i think opinion is divided on whether they should just leave with half job or continue..
Interesting analysis for a country's image though...:-)
Read the article it is a blog post by a very regular blogger on dawn(Asif Akhtar) and he isn’t an indian he is your fellow pakistani..perhaps with a functional brain :D..so it doesn’t surprise me you don’t agree with him…
btw speaking of image..it is clear from the responses that pakistan is devoid of any ideas on improving its image.
Read the blog post before you talk any irrelevant stuff and do the experiment yourself..results still hold..:-)..here is the link again..
thanks for calling me genius. the thread was to show how india has managed to fool even the unbiased google searches.
what about the autocompleters in 'pakistan is ' searches? lies ?!!
Not genius but genius par excellence :D With India the richest and shining, could you please genius sir educate us bad pakis as to on what planet such india exists?
Obviously you are talking bout very different india, India that lies to the south of chini bahi and east of big bad paki wolf has the biggest and most terrorist organizations, and home to massive starvation deaths, slums etc..and the list goes on....
Please genius sir tell us so we bad pakis can learn a thing or two from you. thankooo... much much..
Google is not the cause. They have some algo (which no one outside knows how it works) that mines searches people do to give suggestions in autocompleter. That's the reason i said indians might be using bots..
The results are unbiased from search engine perspective atleast..
That's a lot of points to say a part of Asif's search term returned incorrect
suggestions. So many problems in india..But this doesn't answer how
to improve pakistan's image so it isn't clubbed with somalia and yemen :D
Not genius but genius par excellence :D With India the richest and shining, could you please genius sir educate us bad pakis as to on what planet such india exists?

That's one point Sir, can you say how it is going to help the image of the country?..he is just one
president and is mostly not the cause of image pakistan has.
People who know a country from my experience have asked me about snake charmers in india, elephant rides, taj mahal, poverty, illiteracy, diseases :D and information technology..
Pakistan has a wealth of heritage which it isn't cashing..also the educated masses are increasingly radicalized.
..also the educated masses are increasingly radicalized.
Wow!
Your Pakistani hate mentality and your fixed perception regarding educated Pakistanis is without any proof or knowledge of our country. Sitting in your village in India you pretend to be an expert on Pakistan.
Having said that, just go through your past postings. Your are a living proof of radicalization of Indian educated masses, a symbol of hate and negativity. If you can not make a rational debate with some logic, atleast you should refrain from making such sweeping statements without any proof to back them...
Now that I am going to switch to the nastiest mode that I can please seek cover behind what ever ----- beHind or shall I call you HINE?.
Your “educated masses are increasingly radicalized“ statement is highly offensive to collectively all Pakistanis and especially to myself ----- you owe us a big apology!
let me tell you where have you gotten your above statement ----- from erroneous Indian government propaganda against Pakistan.
HINE ----- yesterday Indian government was a Russian POODLE today it is an American one and ---------- tomorrow ---------- WHO KNOWS?.
Now hold on to your seat ----- because I am going to be very harsh with you ----- you think that India is an angel ----- keep on fooling your self you little nitwit ----- in reality India is a little milksop with a fancy hat ----- It has been an undeniable fact that India is a little poltroon which has always been known to elucidate and demonstrate its selfish ends toward Pakistan by taking advantage of the “problems” pertaining to Pakistan’s sovereignty and well being and at the end portrayed itself as a celestial attendant of God ----- whether you like it or not this is a universal truth ----- India is a spurious phony ----- who would do any thing ----- to extort few dollars worth of benefits from its copious masters ----- go on India ----- you little meretricious canine you always need a little bone to chew on ----- you pathetic trollop keep performing your little Indian mudra to achieve your tawdry motives of getting a few dollars worth of favors in the form of baksheesh from your masters ----- you little strumpet If you have some guts ----- admit that you are a bloody pauper who would do any thing to kiss his masters’ rear end ----- admit that you are a bimbo who would go to the extreme to make its masters happy ----- admit that you don’t have any wits of your own ----- you are just a yes man ----- nay I would rather call you a yes courtesan ----- of your masters ----- you little tramp ----- go ahead and engage your self further deep into your promiscuous acts with your masters to get some pecuniary benefits from them just as you got them from Akbar-e Azam and USSR before ----- you little strumpet ------ if you want to hear more adventures of your India’s promiscuous acts ----- just let me know I would be glad to write more ----- India should salute me and lick my boots as well because I have always been honestly paying my taxes ----- and I always will so you can get a little baksheesh of yours from my government here and there ----- and that makes me your American Master too! -----
P.S. Stop echoing America ----- you little harlot ----- and come up with your own ideas ----- nay you can’t because you are daft as a brush ----- you can only be as creative as dumb copycats and come up with as foolish ideas as ----- imitating Hollywood ----- as Bollywood ----- 9/11 ----- as 26/11 ----- you Dravidian fools you even try to walk like your masters ----- as always the whole world is laughing at you right now!
These are my ideas on improving Pakistan’s image in the world I hope you like them!
