Re: What can be said about Pakistan today … to indicate its greatness?
You took the idea from mymind. 
I was thinking of writing something similar for Independence day.There are a lot of hidden treasures about Pakistan that the world does not knowbut I try to inform people when Pakistan is the source of debate amongIndians/Pakistanis and others. I am of Indian background and here are a coupleof things I admire about the many things originating from Pakistan. Taxila, wasthe site of the first university, the ancient civilisation of Mohenjodaro andHarappa, the tomb of Shah Hussain and Madho Lal is so beautiful, Lahore fort,Badshahi mosque one of the world’s largest mosques. For the Sikhs of India and Pakistan, theSikh Gurudwaras taken care of in Lahore is significant. I came across someinteresting little known historical sites on this website. For the Hindus of Pakistan and abroad,there are some important temple attractions, which are in slightlydilapidated condition and not used as much, such as Gorakhnath,Katas Raj temples (where Pandavas from Mahabharat spent some of their exile,and when Shiva, one of the Hindu gods cried at the passing of his wife,two ponds were supposedly created one in Pushkar, Ajmer and the other atChakwal, Lahore), Hinglaj Mandir in Hingol national park,Balochistan where Ram meditated to atone for killing aBrahmin Ravana. And then Sharda Devi temple across LOC in PakistaniKashmir where there used to a Buddhist university and Adi Shakara visited inhis travels. There is also great natural beauty such as the beautiful SWATvalley, the Gilgit region and the mountainous K2 peaks. I know Food street inLahore has amazing food and so does Karachi. The poetry of Bulleh Shah,the poetry of Iqbal sir whose famous poem has become a popular patrioticsong in India. History has it that Jinnahji asked Jagannad Azad, aPakistani Hindu, well versed in Urdu, to compose a few lines in ananthem for the newly made Pakistan. The lines were along the lines of"*Aey sarzameen-i-pak Zarrey terey hein aaj sitaron sey tabnak Roshanheh kehkashan sey kahin aaj teri khak." (*Oh land of Pakistan, eachparticle of yours is being illuminated by stars. Even your dust has beenbrightened like a rainbow). I think there are many greattourist attractions that the world does not know about anymore but back in the60s they were major attractions for foreigners in West and also othersubcontinentals would love to visit. There is that saying that one who has notseen Lahore has not lived. I could post some links but im new sonot sure of the rules around posting links. Can we post links of articles?Though I am Indian I feel Pakistani culture and the historical monuments inPakistan are as much mine as I think the heritage of India such as Taj Mahaletc can be seen as a Pakistani to be theirs. Of course no compulsion toperceive it that way but that is just how I think.
