Pakistanis all over the world often face the dilemma of explaining what their culture really entails, thanks to years of news media exaggeration and agenda setting. Beyond democratic and economic disappointment, dwells a world of Pakistani civil society that works resiliently against all odds to keep what matters the most intact: its vibrant culture. Let’s try to get to know Pakistan a little better.
