Yeah from what I can recall Manikchand is the only Indian product that I've seen in Pakistan. Actually that is produced in Pakistan as well, there was an article about it a few years ago about how the gutkha "king" had some of his machines smuggled into Pakistan and India was investigating it...
Suzuki Swift in Pakistan is again from the merger with Suzuki. Its from either Pak-Suzuki or from Indus-Suzuki.
Most tyres in Pakistan are manufactured in Pakistan. Either from the General Tyre and Rubber Company or by Goodyear plants mostly in Punjab.
Money talks every where, not just Pakistan, but my point is, what exactly can the Indian banks offer that hasn't been offered already? There are so many banks in Pakistan they are all competing for a growing market, local as well as international, the State Bank of Pakistan is already giving...
That would be an extremely stupid move. There are already too many banks in Pakistan with RBS, Faysal Bank, Al Baraka Islamic Bank, NBL, MCB, HBL, BankIslami Pakistan Limited, Dawood Islamic Bank, ZTBL, Bank of Punjab, Bank of Khyber, NBP, First Women Bank Limited, State Bank of Pakistan...
Peter England I believe is right, but don't know about John Player Tobacco, Pakistan's third most popular cigarette brand is John Player's Gold Leaf, that is now being manufactured in Pakistan.
Pakistan's leading brand is a highly toxic cigarette called K-2 manufactured in Pakistan.
Also I...
It'll be interesting seeing congressmen abandoning their Mercedes S-series and taking up trashy, poorly made and aesthetically hellish Fords.
Although you can understand their reasoning, America's unemployment is rising, poverty is rising. They need their own people to start buying local...
Naa... there were some cars that were developed by a Pakistani company which was bought by Suzuki... Khyber, Mehran, FX etc. were made under the Suzuki brand name but were Pakistani manufactured cars.
That Pakistani industry was Indus Motors, it was merged with Suzuki. They made good cars, my...
China has markets all over the world, go to any country and most things any given person owns is made in China.
Same with the Japanese auto industry, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Suzuki, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Isuzu, Kawasaki, Yamaha and Mitsuoka are some of the biggest auto sellers in the...
The Mujaheddin Pakistan nurtured were, as some one else has already pointed out, the same ones that Britain, France, North America etc. nurtured, giving them money and ammunition.
Pakistan did support and recognize the Taliban government, this was after the Afghan civil war that was...
Nope.... I can tell you first hand, Pashtuns hate these Afghan refugees, they aren't Pashtuns, if they were they wouldn't be refugees. The only reason we are keeping them in is because we are inclined to tolerate them because of Pashtunwali, but since it was Pakistan who put them in under our...
Yeah I've heard this and I do think there was once a semblance of truth there but the American mind set on this war seems to have distinctly changed, the approval rating for this war is in the 30s now and with the wikileaks pretty much rubbishing the US's claims of killing insurgents, its only...
I think right now the most favorable vision of Afghanistan as far as Pakistan is concerned is with the Taliban, particularly since the US is destined to failure. ISI seems to think the same way and is now trying to sabotage the American effort as well. I'm starting to agree with the ISI on this...
Karzai is a figure head of America who commands no respect in Afghanistan. He is hated by most of the Afghan population as a representative of America, the man has practically no respect with his own people, no power among them. Funny thing is he is probably talking to the only president in the...
China's education system has resulted in about a 94% literacy rate, more literate people than Europe. More people in China speak English than in any part of the world. As for preserving heritage, that isn't strictly necessary in a Superpower. Look at the whites you are referring to, they sold...
Karzai never ceases to amaze me.. Pakistan has given refuge to about 2 million Afghan refugees in the last decade. Karzai never ever acknowledges that, constantly critical of a few dozen Taliban guys who come through. If we weren't so nice we should have just put them back in Kabul. Let Karzai...
who is everybody? I didn't know it. His neighbors probably don't know it either. Having Mullah Omer in your neighborhood can really damage the property value.
