Pakistan - from eyes of a 'tourist'.

They could actually be staring at white woman. She would be stared at if she was wearing salwar too.

In India that's true. Not Pakistan.

I should say it's to different degrees.

No, you will find many foreigners flying to India. People get used to foreigners flying to here, nothing new.
May be very few to pakistan, that too on PIA.

Denial- as usual- some times it better to stand up and face the reality like a man- so stand up be a man and admit- indians were crying over there when they saw beautiful Pakistan 60th anniversary pix and slums of india 60th anniversary pix published in guardian

If you guys are done with mud slinging,move on.

 

[Water Car Engineer]

just visit india and "feel" the stares you will get there

Umm... You are stereotyping. IDK about in Northern India, but in places like Kerala. They dont stare at you at all.

Besides Keralites do see foreigners(Europeans mostly) so its nothing new to stare at.

Why snould we care that much about what some random foreighner thinks about pakistan? What the people of Pakistan think about their own country matters most.

One reason: because once you think that way all it takes to silence internal criticism is to accuse people of being stooges for foreigners, yes? Minds get closed real quick that way.

Are you sure you aren't mischaracterizing the U.S.-Pakistani relationship here?

"I met with the head of the journalism union there, and he told me, 'I have a mass communication degree that did me no good whatsoever,'" Herdy says. As such, Pakistani journalists have been given precious little direction when it comes to tackling what Herdy considers to be extremely important issues -- "questions like, 'What makes something newsworthy? What are your responsibilities as a journalist? What are the ethical boundaries? Should you give your opinions?' And news is very opinionated there. People on TV news will just wax on and on about what they think."

Seeing this anarchic atmosphere firsthand made Herdy realize how desperately Pakistani media members need at least an introductory grounding in journalism basics, and she's determined to help give it to them. She identified numerous locations where she'd like to stage workshops, with the idea of returning in January either on her own or with other journalists like Moscou to begin teaching in earnest. And she's confident her pupils will be receptive.

"They kept saying to me, 'We need help over here. We need change,'" Herdy notes.

These Pakistanis knew they needed help and were not shy about asking Americans for it. Which squares precisely with my experience. So it's not a master-subordinate relationship, but a teacher-student one.

^^Well i dont have problem with people being nice with tourists and visitors of whatever nationality religion or ethnicity,. We should be nice to our guests.
But if the reason behind being nice is solely to impress 'that american' or impress that 'german' or whatever,i call it slave mentality.
