A South Asian country
with a population of about 170 million, Pakistan has the distinction of
being the first and sole nuclear power among the Islamic states. Because
of its geo-strategic location, Pakistan is an important player in the world
affairs and has been in the world focus for the past three decades since
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan towards the end of 1979.
As the global political
scene took a new shape with the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade
Centre in New York, Pakistan, under military ruler General Pervez Musharraf,
was made to play the role of a frontline state in the US war on terror and
has since been the special focus of the world attention, particularly of
the West.
Having a diverse and rich
cultural heritage, Pakistanis are a wonderful, vibrant nation full of natural
talent in all spheres of life and have excelled in various fields on the
global landscape. A large number of Pakistanis are working in several countries
of the world and have proven their competence in a variety of fields.
Keeping in view the importance
of the country and knacks of its people, we, a group of senior journalists,
IT professionals and social workers, decided to introduce the Pakistani
nation to the global audience as well as the young generation at home. For
highlighting the maverick nature of Pakistani people, we chose the medium
of Internet because it is the most popular, powerful and latest medium of
information gathering and dissemination in this age of information technology.
Moreover, it is also an open secret that today’s world is more inclined
to the Internet to access the information than any other source.
Our objective to introduce
the Pakistani nation is to enable the international community learn about
and understand the global political scene in Pakistani perspective. Through
the maverickpakistanis.com, people will not only be able to learn about
the Pakistani people but they will also know about the rapidly changing
regional situation as well as cultural heritage and social values of Pakistani
nation.
In addition to the news
reports and articles, the visitors of maverickpakistanis.com will also feature
unique pictures, literature and music, etc. The site will also provide a
platform to its visitors to search for profiles of Pakistani political,
business and religious leaders.
