Pakistan- Nadeem malik

I really agree with the research done by you. It was informative and gave a dimension to understand the so called underground systems working in Pakistan. Though progress towards women empowerment is progressing with time but it is hardly accountable, but basically as budget allocation is really governed by few groups in power, this becomes the main cause of sort of deterioation,illeteracy, accumulation of wealth in some hands.
However talibanization is the main problem and threat faced in the current day and age, which if resolved from the root cause could provide hope to strengthen the economy as a whole, but for now as operations are being done, they could only have advert affect in short run but in the long run it provides hope for better rate of development, investment and flourishment.... provided the policies and regulations and framework are dealt effectively and efficiently. But yeh as you said,ruler areas seems lacking forever.
