hard times either break you or make you, in PAKistan's case its the later. we are a result of a movement that fought on two fronts unarmed, purely on the people's power raising voice for their right of independent and sovereign state of their own... that is why to undo Pakistan is a far cry...crushing of human ideals is not easy...they will need to throw each of us in arabian sea to get over the phenomena of Pakistan.
