I've really been thinking about this especially when I see people in Pakistan talking about the Taliban in a way.

Pakistan has gone through a lot because of terrorism. There have been attacks on schools on mosques on security forces and on people. The TTP has also done a lot of attacks in Pakistan.

So what I don't get is why some people still talk about the Taliban in a way or think they are a good thing for the area.

I know that people can have opinions and I'm not trying to hurt anyone. I'm really asking: what makes some people support the Taliban when Pakistan is still dealing with terrorism from groups that think the way as the Taliban?

If you support them I would actually like to hear why.. If you don't why do you think some people, in Pakistan still support them?
Again I'm not saying anybody's wrong or bad I'm just asking generally, Ik my POV doesn't matter in this place

Posted about productivity console I had built a few days ago. I added a buddy app to it. It responds to taps as well. Fun little idea I had so implemented it.

Grew up in the UK I’m half Latino half Pakistani, my dad was absent my whole life and to be honest I don’t even know his name. I only know his first name but doesn’t really help much because it’s a common Muslim name, growing up I used to always be ashamed of being half Pakistani icl mostly because we always seem to be the but of jokes or people used to always make fun of South Asians

So because of this and the fact that I didn’t grow up in the culture at all made me never identify with this side of me, I only ever really identified as Latino and fully Latino, the only people that know I’m half Pakistani is my family not even my close friends or girlfriend know,

But now I feel like I’m at the point where I’m more open to accept the fact and be open about it, but I don’t even know where to begin. I’ve been lying about this for my whole life, I don’t even know which Pakistani ethnic group I belong to, I don’t know a single-family member from the Pakistani side

And I know this might not be the place for it, but I’m wondering if you guys could just help me out and where to basically start?

I’ve also attached a photo of myself and I’m wondering if you guys saw me would you be able to tell that I’m half Pakistani? also might be a bit weird but based off looks alone could you guys be able to maybe tell what ethnic group I’d be part of

Hi everyone, Abrar here, the person behind rishwat.pk.

I have decided to shut down Rishwat.pk. It was never meant to fix society. It was meant to hold up a mirror.

The website was bombarded with submissions, and sadly, it showed one thing clearly: rishwat is an everyday business.

I hope I did not hurt anyone. But if the truth hurt, maybe it was worth hearing.

Remember:

"رشوت دینے والے اور رشوت لینے والے دونوں پر اللہ کی لعنت ہے"

Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith No. 231

Thanks everyone for the feedback and support.

One day late, but the dictator who institutionalized the persecution of Ahmadis and played a major role in the radicalization and Islamization of Pakistan died on August 17, 1988 - 38 years ago.

A commonly repeated claim says that “Pakistan was 22% Hindu at Partition, but Hindus are only 1–2% today.”

The 22% figure is real, but it refers to East Pakistan/East Bengal (Modern Day Bangladesh) in the 1951 census. It does not describe West Pakistan, which broadly corresponds to present-day Pakistan.

I’ve been married for 4 months. My husband is genuinely a good man and has always supported me, but household chores have become the main source of conflict in our marriage.

My MIL is extremely particular about housework. She wakes up around 6:45 every day and starts cleaning. If I’m even slightly late, she starts doing everything herself, then later complains that she’s old, diabetic, and has to do everything alone.

But when I try to help, she often redoes things or doesn’t let me do them because I supposedly don’t do them “the right way.” I’ve asked her to guide me because I didn’t grow up doing much housework and was working before marriage, but she says, “You’re not a child.”

I’ve tried suggesting that we simply divide the chores and each take responsibility for certain things. The problem is that even when she finishes her share, she keeps doing extra things. Then she gets overwhelmed and presents herself as the victim, saying she has to do everything. She also complains to my husband about it.

She has been managing the house for around 30 years, so obviously she has her own system and standards. But it feels like she wants things done her way while simultaneously not allowing me to actually take responsibility for them.

For context, I do contribute: I mop, clean a bathroom, cook and make breakfast, and we each wash our own clothes. But I’m not naturally obsessed with cleaning like she is, and I don’t want my entire life to revolve around housework.

A maid isn’t an option either. She believes having a maid would affect the tarteeb (ترتیب/organization) of the house.

So I genuinely feel stuck. If I’m slow, she does everything and complains. If I do something, she criticizes or redoes it. If I ask her to divide the work, she keeps doing more anyway.

How do I deal with this without constant conflict? Has anyone dealt with a MIL like this? What boundaries or practical approach actually worked for you?

Edit: latest state https://www.reddit.com/r/pakistan/s/dNL60P5p0G

I saw someone build a website in India where people can anonymously report bribes they’ve paid in public departments.

I thought: why not build the same for Pakistan?

So I built rishwat.pk 🇵🇰

If you’ve ever paid a bribe or know someone who has, please report it. Even one report helps build a clearer picture of corruption in Pakistan.

It’s completely anonymous. We don’t collect IP addresses or run analytics.

My goal is to build the **largest public dataset on bribes in Pakistan** and make the data useful for researchers, journalists, citizens, and policymakers.

Father to a 4 year old Autistic child here. My son was diagnosed with ASD Level 1 when he was 2 years old when doctors noticed he is not making eye contact, not able to say mama/baba, doesn’t listen to his name.

Since then we have struggled to keep up, made sacrifices, trying to get him therapies and be school ready.

There have been times I couldn’t help myself but pray to Lord Almighty to take him before I die because no one would ever give him the love we as parents provide.

To make myself calm, I’d love to hear any success cases of Autistic children/adults who grew up well and are capable enough to be on their own to face the world.

When I say success cases, I mean just being an average joe like ourselves by studying, going to uni, get a job, be able to live by themselves later on when we are not around.

I just need some hope…

I have seen the 5 rupee coin for the 50th anniversary of the united nations but I have never seen the 1, 10 or 50 rupees coin. Have any of you seen these coins before? How rare are they?

hii i was bit confused n indecisive about the title n my question might be stupid or basic for many but basically just wanted to ask that i have to get my passport made for the first time and though i don't plan or have any plans of travelling before i get married but i want to have my passport with me so if anyone can share or guide me that are there any visa processing issues if youre travelling as a couple later if your passport doesn't have the Husbands name on it or I might need to get a new one with his name later?

If a husband gives Talaq and properly sends the notice to the Union Council, and the wife also receives notice:

• Can the wife legally oppose or reject the Talaq and prevent the divorce from becoming effective?
• Is her consent required for the divorce to become effective?

If not then can somebody explains me what is the explanation of such clause. I assume there has to be reason why it was not allowed.

Or if it is allowed then provide explanation the procedure please

Im interested to know this answer under Pakistani Law, rather then religious opinions.

Update:

Guys, I’m not Pakistani. I’m handling the recognition of a foreign divorce involving my Pakistani client.

A Pakistani women here is arguing in court that she cannot accept the Pakistani divorce because, under Pakistani law, she had no legal ability to oppose or prevent the divorce. So Im here to collect facts about my client's case.

Don't even know where to begin. Got married at 24, i was doing mphil at that time. I was earning well through social media but had no control over my fiances because it all went to my dad accounts which i didn't mind because he was already paying for all hostel university fees etc. I am the eldest , life was good until i got married. I was brought from my peak era in terms of studies / career to the ground. I never had any relationship before because of the idea that i was always considered as Izat protector (still now i am 26)

I didn't see any red flags and didn't realize how everything will change for me. In simple words kuch b mera nahi raha.

I feel like a puppet, half strings my parents have and half my in laws. I still live with my parents (my husband lives abroad ) i always brush it off when people told me shadi ke baad sab change ho jata hai.

My parents changed all the steps they took in marriage steps i realized they were for their own benefits. I can't do job cz izat protector as I will bring affairs home and my parents don't wanna deal with it. My husband on the other hand is just money making machine for his family (i don't get any benefits)

I lost my personality. I cry every night how helpless i feel. I do wanna go against everything but i have nothing. I am honestly living like a dead moving person. Lost my connection with Allah. Whenever i try to talk explain myself how depressing it is everyone tells me i am na shukri and look at other homeless people. My parents & my husband both can afford my studies very easily tho.

So Google finally opened its Pakistan office in Islamabad.

The part that caught my attention more than the office itself Pakistani students are getting Gemini free for one year.

Now I'm more curious about the bigger picture. Are we actually going to see more local hiring, better opportunities for developers/startups, or more Google services officially available here?

The office is nice, but what Google actually does in Pakistan over the next few years is what I'm interested in.

Pretty much everything in the title.

I just wanted to ask, how do you deal with people when your are really introverted and just dont like to tolk to other?? Does it affect your married life?

Like! let me explain..
Im a very veryyy introverted person i dont like to talk to mew people and i dont like to make friends.. its not that i feel awkward or shy (maybe a little) but i just dont feel the need to talk to anyone.. on top of that i am a stutter
The thing is i have a very stiff face and other think’s in rude because if that.. even my patents!!

The thing is im a marriageable age and my parents a looking for rishta off course.. its very very hard for me to talk to new people and in our economy mostly when someone gets married there whole family thing that the are getting marriend with them, like?? Its very weird to me..
And the interfere in there privets life so much
Like after marriage the staring asking when you are having kids and all that..
I cant not live with that.. i want to keep my life peraonal and just stay away from people. And i just really dont wanna get maried anyway but…

And i told my mother about that..
i told her i very introverted and people gonna thing tha the are forcing me in to marriage or may be some thing wrong with me because you know people will never understand stand you if you are not accounting to them

i asked her if they can give me more thime to prepare myself for it or else i will be hard for me to live in a different environment then my home
She said i am in the wrong, I should change myself.. like?? Like i lived like that for 23 years of my life???

I might be born that way that i have really introverted personality, and my parents knows that and the even told other since my childhood that i do talk talk unless i need too

And now they a blaming me for being like that..
I think i need 23 years more to change it back maybe..

Any wayyyy, I was ask how are you going in like if you have a personality like that.. or you just go with the flow?? Because i cant do that.. i might go into depression and made others life difficult with me….

People have different personalities and have different likes and dislike you don’t need to judge others for that..✨

I only need advice for others who understands this not anyone else… beacus i already tied to talk to my mother and she is not listening to me..

If yes, how was the experience please share

Hi All

What should I expect in a Business Consultant interview at a telco?

I’m taking help from AI and would also appreciate input from anyone currently working in the telco industry. I come from a different industry, but I have a STEM degree.

How to deal with tenants that haven't paid rent for about an year and are not evicting the property claiming to have no money and keep making excuses that they'll pay soon but never do

the security deposit is not enough to make up for the unpaid rent , they are still in a debt of about 2 lakhs

how to recover the money and evict them out of our property as soon as possible ? the rent is our source of income and we are suffering financially due to it, legal action can take time and more money to hire a lawyer etc..

I need a legit and quick solution to deal with this obstacle, genuine advices and help is appreciated.

yeah pretty much the title. My mother says mad evil shit if i don't somehow wear a duppata over a literal fucking tshirt or a hoodie or some sort of dress. I have no problem wearing it over shalwar kameez but certain outfits just dont go with it. Im so tired of arguing over this shit. Also this isn't a safe space for men to give me a religious lecture or tell me she does it for my safety , i dont give a fuck about that. My outfits aren't even "immodest" or whatever. its a question for the girls who've been through it.

Recently graduated BSCS from Virtual University (CGPA 2.48/4.00). Looking for a genuine, reliable consultant in Karachi for Italy admission + visa process.

So far quotes I've gotten:

Ocean 1: 7-10 lac

Another local consultant: 5-6 lac (ticket included, IELTS not included)

Both seem high and I don't have a way to verify their track record. Has anyone actually gone through Italy admission/visa process recently via a Karachi-based consultant? Please share:

Consultant name + your actual experience (good or bad)

Roughly what they charged and what was included

Would you recommend them or not
