Typical Pakistani media mischief...99% of times this section is to show negative side of India. In a country like Pakistan, which is infested with extremism, everyday violence and broke economy, this section will show fashion shows held inside five star hotels while for India it will show Sadhus praying, protests, slums. I wonder if Dawn thinks that it will change image of Pakistan.
