Discrimination of International Community for Pakistan
Now a days, when each and every country is coming closer to one and other using new technologies and mediums, we are seeing that Pakistan is being neglected by most of the international courtiers in many area of the fields especially in the field of IT. Some of the points are listed below:
1: Most of the internet websites, related to travel, don’t include Pakistan as a destination to be visited.
2: Some international payment merchants do not provide services in Pakistan. An example is: Paypal. Many times workers who are providing services in Pakistan have to interact with such clients who tell that they will send payments via paypal, and it becomes a headache for the service providers to receive payments of their provided services.
3: Urdu which is the language of 6th largest population of the world was being ignored by many international websites including yahoo and hotmail for many years. Now yahoo and hotmail have started some services in Urdu, but still many sites do not contain Urdu in their language boxes. Now, as a 6th largest populous nation in the world, Urdu must be at least on every site which audience and services are not geographically bounded to one country.
4: It is also very strange that on some freelance websites where a large number of Pakistani people are providing services better than other countries, a prejudiced attitude can been seen when these websites write about the emerging and progressing countries, they include India, Romania etc but Pakistan is ignored. While the reality on the ground is, Pakistani service providers are more capable and intelligent and not lesser than any others in their fields. It seems a blatant effort to overlook the services of industrious Pakistani people. Pakistan must be incorporated in the list while tempting clients to select service providers from progressing countries.
The reason which might be behind this ignorance is, current situation prevailing in northern parts of the Pakistan, and one can say that one can not include Pakistan to their travel sites because Pakistan is not a secure country. But if someone has mind on his head, then he can see that that situation has been for few years, before that Pakistan was always a safe place and still it is. So, why was Pakistan ignored at that time? Tourists may come to Pakistan especially Lahore, where they can see many ancient buildings and can find many things which are worthwhile to see. They can go to Kashmir; they can come to see the beauty of vast magnificent deserts, Thal and Cholistan.
Besides the current situation, Pakistani economy is still progressing, Pakistani people are alive and providing services, So Pakistan must be treated in a good manner by the international community.
