What is Pakistan [2]


I am Edhi's philanthrophy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Sattar_Edhi , I am Arfa Karim's brilliance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arfa_Karim , I am fastest growing IT industry, I am ever expanding middle class, I have fought dictatorship, I am 40000 deaths for global peace, I am hospitality, I am epitome of resilience, I am one of few bravest nations of the world. For almost three decades, I have played host to over 3 million Afghan refugees who first fled the fighting following the Soviet invasion in 1979. I have been an active participant in United Nations peacekeeping missions. I played a major role in rescuing trapped American soldiers from Mogadishu, Somalia, in 1993 in Operation Gothic Serpent. I am the largest troop contributor to UN peacekeeping missions. I have theoretical physicist Abdus Salam, who won a Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the electroweak interaction. I have an active space program led by its space research agency, SUPARCO. Polish-Pakistani aerospace engineer W. J. M. Turowicz developed and supervised the launch of the Rehbar-I rocket from Pakistani soil, making me the first South Asian country to launch a rocket into space. I am one of a small number of countries that have an active research presence in Antarctica. I have two summer research stations on the continent and plans to open another base, which will operate all year round.
Yes , I am Pakistan.
