Re: # 4
Karachi is pride of Pakistan. 70 percent of financial resources/ taxes in Pakistan are generated by Karachi alone. We Pakistanis eat from Karachi`s resources. The elders say that dont critisize the feeding hand. Those who do it are called``NIMAK-HARAM`` in popular terminology.

Karachi is a hub of culture ? Arts ? Journalism ? Crafts ? Karachi will provide intellectual leadership ? Arent you forgetting hub of tourism ? Ski resort ? Hill station ? Music Capital of the World ? Centre of the earth ? Hub of wildlife ????? Are you nuts Muhammad Shaikh or is this a joke ?

A city whose unquestioned king is a clown called ``Altaf Hussain`` will provide intellectual leadership ? A city that is so deeply insecure that its only raison d`etre is Lahore bashing (like Pakistan`s is India Bashing) will provide intellectual leadership ? A city that largely comprises of a population of mediocres that migrated to Pakistan because they thought they were too mediocre to flourish in India will provide intellectual leadership ? (even though mediocrity flourishes pretty well in India...but that ridiculous country is another story). A city of clueless, upstartish, shallow wannabes will provide intellectual leadership ? A city that hasnt been able to figure out itself will provide intellectual leadership to the region ? Get a life !

It is a very good idea. I am a university student and would like to be part of this forum. My email address is available on my page. I could be contacted whenever there is any activity of the forum.

This could be made Pakistan-India Educational Forum and later on even South Asian Educational Forum, with objective of increasing interaction amongst university teachers, students and the educational communities of South Asian countries in general.
