Mian Mansha is now Pakistan's first billionaire...

Mansha has US$ 1.0 billion of wealth, mostly invested in productive business in Pakistan. Don’t you think hundreds of thousands of people who work for MCB, Nishat Mills, Adamjee Insurance, DG Khan Cement or many other companies are amongst the middle class of Pakistan.

When I was young, I saw several Amitabh Bachan movies where hero used to be a union leader and villain used to be a smuggler who used to run a factory as a side business. India has out grown this mentality, however it seems we are still stuck with the same.

People who generate business are the real heroes of any society. In USA Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet etc are text book subjects, while we call our heroes as chors… if we want to progress we have to give up this mentality…

I agree, but dude what mentality are you talking about? I’m kinda lost to what you’re referring to here?

I’m happy for him and all that comes with his success, but maintaining the middle class comment was referred to distribution of wealth- success of a country is not 5 billionaires residing there but 500 common ( and may be smaller) businesses going well, because in the longer run that creates more jobs and growth.
