How does it feel like to live in Pakistan?
1 Answer
I am a Pakistani living in Islamabad so my perspective may differ from the other man's perspective. Living in Pakistan has its drawbacks and benefits
Benefits very few Pakistani citizens pay income tax as they fall short of the minimal range. So, if you are mentally disturbed by high taxes in other countries, move to Pakistan. Education is far more affordable (although not of the same standards) in Pakistan. Labour and the Tertiary sector is extremely affordable compared to European countries. Pakistanis have a high religious tolerance; no religion is prohibited and everyone can freely practice their religion.
Drawbacks Image problem: Pakistan is not an extremist, terrorist state. NOT AT ALL. but this is the only thing that is framed in international media. Widespread corruption in every public office. The police department is subject to bribery, nepotism and unlawful authority. Inflation, so everyday goods are becoming expensive. Great, devalue of the Pakistani rupee in the foreign market. Allegedly terrorism. Especially in Karachi, although it has been minimised by 90% in the last 3 years or so.
