Without a doubt, Pakistan is one of the worst countries in the world. The country has not very good reputation on the world forum. The country is known for the safe haven of multiple terrorist organizations and corruption. The PM of the country had to step down, due to the corruption charges against him. All these things have led to very bad reputations across the globe. But, there are multiple misunderstandings among the people from all around the world that need to be cleared.
We are going to take a look at 10 common misunderstandings about Pakistan World needs to clear.
1. Pakistan is in middle-east
Most of the people think that Pakistan is in middle-east, which is completely wrong. The country is located in South-Asia. The country is part of Indian sub-continent.
2. Camels and Donkeys are the main transport means
Most of the people from all around the world think that the main means of transportation in Pakistan is Camels and Donkeys. It is completely wrong, as there are few carts in some parts of the country carried by Camels and Donkeys, but it doesn’t mean that it is used by all of them. Major parts of the country use modern means of transportation.
3. All Women wear Burqa
The burqa is a very common and important clothing for Muslim Women from all around the world. The same thing applies to Pakistani women also. You may find many women wearing a burqa, but this doesn’t mean that every woman will have to wear burqa. You are definitely going to find lots of women not wearing a burqa.
4. Men in Pakistan wear traditional clothes and turban only
It is also completely untrue, as most of the Pakistani men keep up with the latest fashion trends in the world. Indian film industry popularly known as Bollywood has great influence on Pakistani people, their style is influenced by them.
5. All Pakistani are terrorists
This is the most common and irrelevant misunderstanding in the world about Pakistan. It is true that there are multiple terrorist organizations in Pakistan; this doesn’t mean that everyone living in Pakistan is a terrorist. Most of the people want to live very simple and peaceful life. It is also true that Pakistan has suffered severely from Terrorist attacks; many people have lost their lives.
6. Pakistani people are uneducated
It is true that Pakistan has very high rate of illiteracy, but it doesn’t mean that all of them are illiterate. The country needs to do a lot towards the educations. But despite that, there are many people, who are very well educated. In the fact, the country has seen lots of scholars, who have made Pakistan proud on World stage.
7. Pakistan has undeveloped cities
Western media shows Pakistan a much-undeveloped country, but it is not right. There are some cities, which are well developed with good infrastructure. It is also true that the country needs to do a lot in this field.
8. Pakistani speaks Arabic
You are wrong people, as Pakistani speaks Urdu, not Arabic. You may find it difficult that almost 49 percent of Pakistani can speak English.
9. Pakistani don’t party
What, in which world you are living people. Pakistani are not animal, they also know how to enjoy. They do the party a lot, for your kind information.
10. Women are oppressed in Pakistan
Pakistan needs to do a lot in order to improve the condition of women in the country, but this doesn’t mean that they are oppressed. The western media shows their condition very bad, which is completely untrue.
I hope, now you have a better understanding of Pakistan. I also hope you may view Pakistan in a different way and lots of your misunderstanding is cleared now.
