Islamabad (PTI): Two young Pakistanis have launched an e-zine to show to the world that there is more to Pakistan than terrorism by highlighting positive stories about their country at home and abroad.
The Green Kaleidoscope (TGK) was launched last month by Uzair Khan and Soniya Rehman. Without touching directly on sensitive issues like terrorism and government policies to tackle the menace, the e-zine has been posting positive stories to show that not everyone born in the country is a terrorist.
Rehman and Khan's efforts come close on the heels of an anti-terrorism campaign by an NGO, which has collected over 62 million signatures of Pakistanis around the globe. The Yeh Hum Naheen Foundation's theme song, which voices the angst of Pakistanis whose nationality often makes them terror suspects, has become an anthem of sorts for millions.
The idea for the TGK e-zine emerged during a casual phone conversation between Khan and Rehman. "We wanted to create a space where Pakistanis can feel inspired, heard and acknowledged. Besides, Pakistani Portals which encompass articles and interviews on a wide range of topics really are few and far between," said Rehman, one of the editors-in-chief of the magazine.
