Pakistan is a progressing country where the arts, culture and other forms of expression are fast taking root in a globalizing world. Along with traditional forms of music, dance and art that have been around and practiced for generations, Pakistan is an exciting place to see new inroads in the multi media. Since 9-11, with the reverse brain drain, Pakistan has become a place where Pakistanis (and others!) are making space for themselves and their ideas. The ideas are a mix of the old and the new taking into account how small the world has become and the role Pakistan must play in this socio-economic-political world.
There is also a significant diaspora population around the world whom Pakistan caters to and with that in mind we have radio, TV, film and internet services to keep one connected to 'home'.
