(In pics) People of Pakistan

People of Pakistan are no different than Indians. They have the same challenges. Here's Pakistan for you in pics.

While Pakistan holds military exercise close to the Indian border, its people are enduring different challenges daily, much like their Indian counterpart.

There's not much of a difference there, barring the barbed wire that separates the two nations. From socio-economic challenges to discrimination, both the countries face similar challenges.

However, every cloud has a silver lining and both the countries do share a certain degree of friendship, despite their differences. Here are some pictures, describing the past week in Pakistan.
