Re: List Pakistani Role Models

@phoenixdesi

ok great…results are better than I thought…few observations though:

as expected we have very few role models from business, social media, film, sports, non-profit or politics…most of the nations would find their role models from these categories…(pretty much Asad umar and Jahangir khan for us from these categories … kind of sad)…really surprised that Edhi was named only once…

most of our roles models came form science and literature (Dr. Abdus Salam, Dr. Parvaiz Hoodbhoy,Dr Atta Ur Rehman, Faiz Ahmad Faiz, Munno Bhai, Hassan Nisar, hakem saeed, Parveen Shakir, Ashfaq Ahmed, Mustansar Hussain Tarar, Mumtaz Mufti, Qudratullah Shahab to name few). Absoutely nothing wrong with naming these people but …

… had i asked the same question from Indians, I am sure dilip kumar, raj kapoor, amitabh, SRK, AR Rehman, MF hussain, tendulkar, dravid, ganguly, gavaskar, azim premji, tatas, ambanis, mun mohan singh, nehru, vajpai, Arundhati, mother teresa etc. would have ruled the list and doubt prominent scientists or literature personalities would have taken the lead…same can be said about the USA ..just pointing out the different trend in pak…maybe because of lack of role models in popular categories in Pak i guess

Thx for the input guys…

speaking of popular role models no mention of Mohammad Rafi!! arguably the greatest (in most peoples’ book) sub-continental male singer

Also Lata, Asha, Kishore and Jagjit would be top of my list
