What are the achievements of Pakistan

What are the achievements of Pakistan (other than terrorism, karo-kari, military rule, corruption, etc.)

I’m asking coz I don’t know !

How many satelites have been launched.

Can you manufacture at least the raw materials for an airplane (like composite)

How many Pakis have received Nobel prizes

How much of your atomic bomb is yours

How much of your missile technology is yours

How many religions are there in Pakistan other than the sects of Islam

These aren’t asked to deflate your egos & make you look little. But there is something called as introspection… and I’m reminding it because many of you think everything goes in the name of

  1. Allah
  2. HIM (Hate India Movement)

and you need not think about anything.

Inspite of all your rhetoric in the name of God & Islam, how many of you are devout. You are using religion as an escape from reality. Religion is the path to reality.

What has been your contribution to literature- religious or otherwise.

So all brothers & siters of Pakistan, WAKE UP.

  1. HIM (Hate India Movement)<

What do you call your little movement? How's it any better than "HIM"?

Here's some achievements; in Pakistan people still speak their own language. They don't call each other Bobby or Pinky, their actresses don't feel so inferior they have to wear blue contact lenses, and despite being 10 times better looking than Indian women they don't feel the need to show their in Miss World competitions.

Also in Pakistan we don't believe in the caste system which is a product of hindu civilisation. as is the karma sutra, india's greatest literature achievement. it's about having sex with animals I believe.

Gajam my man...

I just remembered about a former beauty queen from India who became a high class prostitute in England. Her name was Pamella Bordes (formerly Singh). She was quite expensive but she met a lot of stars. One of her clients was racist comedian Jim Davidson. that must have been interesting.

This is a nice conversation isn't it? You want to carry on? I promise to stick to facts only (unlike you) so there shouldn't be a problem with the moderator.

If you want to hear more true stories put it in writing.

Yet another Indian intellectual joins Gupp shupp. Thank God for some sane Indians on this forums like Queer, ZZ, Some1 and Bombay Kid. Otherwise you would have thought that all Indians are -------------.

Ever read your Kama Sutra, Go practice it with your .........., and let us know how you felt about your achievements in litracy. I hope you have enough Holy Donkeys or Holy Cows to practice all of them......
But be carefull you never know what those Donkeys were in their previous lives..

Guys please.
Ppl like gajam and mundyaa do not represent any nation, culture religion or country – so don’t post insulting replies about Hinduism and/or Indian women. I hate reading such low comments about women of any nation religion or race.

These are some statistics that i know about pakistan, i am a simple student of pakistan and i dont know much about its statistics, but you should think that if an ordinary student can bring these kind of statistics then what will happen if you confront with some Phd doctor of pakistan?

Think before you comment, india is one of the most poor country in the world, but the difference is only that paksitan highlights its negative points while india don’t, 14 out of 25 india’s provinces are struggling for independence, but who cares? you are only here to blame pakistan, and you actually dont know, I agree that now a days pakistan is suffering from some problems, but these problems are temporary and pakistan has seen better days than india!!!
