Indian awesome marketers or Liars??

Well no doubt India is doing whatever but its also another fact that they are awesome marketers and could do very successful lobbying. And this is what India is doing since last one year and the result is that it successfuly has shifted the focus from China to her country.

I wonder when Pakistanis will realise the power of Country's PR...all foreign newspapers and magazines hold Burqa clad women fottos and the pics from Peshawar and Wana...nobody want to hilight the commercialisation going on in our country..I dont know why all bad things of Pakistan are hilighted. A few days back I saw a documentary made by some Pakistani Journalist again on 'Mullahism' in Pakistan....well I guess we should go one step forward and through media hilight the progressive things happening in our country.

As compare to our situation, India is represented by business women, IT and Call centre geniuses on International media not to foget their ever burgeoning film industry.... Well the e-mail below holds a clipping from http://www.wikipedia.com/ --online largest resource of definitions and information--...in the said clipping Indians have counted themselves as they are contributing in every mega-thing on Earth --some facts are pretty distorted as well--. In my eyes Pakistani abroad are contributing alot. Well do COMMENT on the stats below:

Do we have similar stats & facts consolidated about Pakistan? There is a lot of macro level info available on BoI and PSEB websites. Few movies hosted by PSEB @ http://pseb.org.pk/movie/ as part of marketing collateral are also worth mentioning here. I think a government department or a ministry (EPB, BoI, MoI&B, MoITT, OPF, Pakistan Science Foundation, Pakistan Computer Bureau, etc.) should take up the responsibility to regularly update, verify & consolidate similar information about Pakistan in different creative ways and then carry out a passive offline & online media promotion (e.g. advertorials or sponsored articles, etc.) in addition to traditional marketing.
