Pakistani corner

[WAJsal]

Wakhi people are essentially divided among Pakistan,china,Afghanistan,Tajikistan with mostly living in afghan wakhan corridor and badakshan province of Tajikistan we are an extremely old race with our language (WAKHI) even being older than Farsi. all wakhani have the faith,tradition,culture and you would find the same type of houses in different countries.
Wakhi people in Pakistan live near the Chinese and afghan border (upper hunza) there are also present in broghil valley upper chitral kpk and is the most neglected region in kpk as they struggle for even basic necessities such as food. some are also present in ghizer valley which had migrated in recent time from Afghanistan (lalik jan recipient of nishan e haider was a wakhi)..
the wakhi people have tried to preserve their language by different initiative such as this page about news and other written in wakhi
http://wakhi.org/

as to hoe much we are recently in contact with the wakhi communities of different countries

in recent years we have gained much pace in reconnecting the wakhi people after being divided into different countries

It quite interesting when you think about it, such diversity in such a small region. More for Pakistanis to be proud of, should highlight these things more.

I would prefer notification, since I do not report much anyway. Knowing that it has been acted upon would be nice, thank you.

The Northern Areas are a great place, full of interesting scenery and interesting people. If there is a concern, it is related to the undercurrent of tension between religious factions that others keep trying to inflame, thus far without success. Opening up the areas to tourism would do wonders for the local economy, but with a real risk of environmental degradation.

but with a real risk of environmental degradation.

Global problem. A very valid point, i have seen locals picking up after tourists and people getting proper speeches from the locals too. People in the country need to learn to dispose off the trash properly.

I enjoy looking at all the wonderful photos from the Northern Areas posted on PDF in so many threads. But I also know that most of the places are littered with trash, and the water sources are polluted already. The locals need all the help in keeping these cherished areas clean. Serious consideration should be given to adding a Environmental Preservation Charge to all tourist entering these areas to generate sufficient funds for the locals to improve cleanliness, and to create services in the winter for salting roads, snow removal and landslide clearance to avoid burdening the FWO/Military there.

I want to give heartache to Indians by speaking against them weaving Indian flag believe me i did this on IDF and they got so furious banned for life. Instead of admins should include Kashmir's own flag so until we unite with Pakistan we could use that flag.

What's the story behind the Blue Whale balloon?

What's the story behind the Blue Whale balloon?

No idea...


Not enough precious stones in the market!

No idea...

What kind of tourists take along a blue whale balloon? Could this be a Chinese government sponsored junket to interact with school kids as a show-and-tell to create nice photo-ops?
