    Is a Secular Pakistan the solution?

    they have their own baggage of ills which they bring to the society... nudity, gambling, drinking, sex (out of marriage) etc etc... all of this has social cost which the society pays in the form of: rape culture, crime, health costs, family values etc etc ill prefer a society which has social...

    Is a Secular Pakistan the solution?

    to be very frank, as much as i want this country to get rid of religious extremists, so do i want to get rid of secular extremists! But then reality strikes and I make a second wish: let them both stay and keep fighting each other so the remaining majority may live in peace. Two opposite...

    To save Pakistan, we have to let go of the idea of Pakistan

    its amazing how both the extremes (secular and religious) cannot digest the fact that Islam ensures equality, justice and freedom for all citizens. Both sides bring forwards such odd arguments that one wonders at their self proclaimed intellectual superiority.

    To save Pakistan, we have to let go of the idea of Pakistan

    actually the writer is very clever. What he really wants to say is: since we cannot agree on whether Pakistan was supposed to be a secular country or an Islamic country, lets forget about it. Why forget? so we can make Pakistan a secular country! Its amazing people have come to the point of...

    Pakistan's GDP | Growth, Forecasts and discussions.

    FBR already knows who are the people not paying their share of taxes. Every time a new government comes in they start giving chances to people to whiten their money. the question is, why should people bother when they know there wont be any action taken against them even if they dont comply...

    Pakistan's GDP | Growth, Forecasts and discussions.

    Dar projects robust economic growth

    so large scale manufacturing (LSM) growth has slowed from 6.3% (Q1 FY-2013-14) to 2% (Q1 FY-2014-15) because of lack of credit absorption? note that circular debt during this period increased from 0 to more than 400bn. Credit might have contributed but i find the energy shortage to be the main...

    Dar projects robust economic growth

    Compare July-2013 to July-2014 with July-2014 onwards.. Industrial growth rate has declined substantially during this year. How can anyone expect a GDP growth rate of more than 5% with this data?

    A question on Pakistan's GDP growth.

    yes. hopefully if the 50bn coming in becomes a reality. we are talking about an average $5bn every year.. Our GDP for this year will be around $300bn. Assuming everything else stays the same, 5bn additional investment next year will translate into 1.6% of additional growth. This will keep on...

    Dar projects robust economic growth

    a growth rate of more than 5% is going to be an accounting miracle. LSM growth rate had declined to 2% during the first quarter of this fiscal year dropping from 6.3% for the same quarter in the previous year. I wonder how will the economy grow at more than 5%? .. nonetheless, ill be interested...
