I have a weird feeling that the talent does not just belong to a country , it Belongs to the whole humanity.

My Mother used to say:

An able and intelligent kid is a son of everyone that they can take his pride , but a lazy and worthless kid only belongs to his/her own parents because they are the ones to carry his/her shame.

Your Mother seems to be a very smart Women

The work seems to be genuinely promising, but the funnies thing is that he's the son of the disgraced Ahmed Riaz Sheikh. One of his sons, I don't remember the name precisely, works in the Aiwan e Sadr. Aiwan e Sadr claimed that he does not take a pay but the media claimed that he was on MP-1 scale.

The other son looks to be genuinely talented.

But, not to undermine his talent or his achievement, this is a best paper award at a conference. When looking at the CVs of well established researchers, conference papers don't even matter. Only journal submissions, and the important journals only, are considered worthy of mention on resumes and bios. Conference papers aren't "coveted" awards.

I see people writing "first in the world" and "breakthrough" with everything. His research, if indeed, and I hope it is, breakthrough then will definitely be published in the transactions of the IEEE the next quarter. That indeed is a personal and professional achievement.

Anyways, best of luck to the guy. Hope he comes back and teaches VLSI, AVLSI and distributed computing in Pakistan. There are many Pakistani researchers who have done good work in this field, sadly they are hampered by the lack of resources at their hands. Dr. Shahid Bokhari, a great teacher and a great Pakistani is one such example.

I thought a conference paper is difficult to get published?
But you are right about conference awards. Very little can be said about the success of a project based on this. Besides I think Pakistanis have better achievements to celebrate than this.

Depends firstly on the quality of the conference. An annual symposium by the main body itself is worthy of publishing in, a multi-topic conference which clearly is aimed at students and academics to increase the "number" of publications is pointless. I published my first conference paper back in freshman year. Journal submissions are the real thing.

Besides I think Pakistanis have better achievements to celebrate than this.

Every achievement is worth celebrating. There isn't a lot going good these days anyways.

All Mothers are great , specially those who bring forward sons like basit.

Conference papers are published as 'proceedings' (you can always deny a proceeding publication of your work though) and carry little if any weight. However, you generally do not present most of your significant data/work in a conference or meeting and reserve it for a full length research paper in a high impact factor journal. Sometimes however, you do present your most significant and high impact work in a meeting (depending on the quality of the meeting) but only when an actual paper based on this work (being presented in a meeting) is already submitted or about to be submitted in a journal to avoid 'scooping up' of your work.

^^^^^^^^^
I was expecting something from an academic on this point. I'm a lowly student who'll work on anything worth publishing.

I was referring to the smothering of a research student with words like patriotism. They are not playing a cricket game or fighting a war. Pakistan did not give him a place in a national team or something. I always think academics have to be kept separate from such frenzy. The motivation for academics is not nationalism, it is a search for better solution or answer for everything or of course grades.
A little less nationalistic hero worship, please - India - The Times of India

Then I am asking the right person

In my lab, my MS and PhD students are never considered 'lowly'; they are THE ASSET of my lab and one day, they will out-perform and out-shine me and make me proud. You will do that same at least that much I can predict about you.
