Delhi-bashing: Pakistani politics keep India bogey alive

Article Abstract:

Paranoia over India remains rampant in Pakistan thanks largely to the long- standing tradition of using it as the bogeyman of Pakistani politics. After years of harsh rhetoric in an effort to draw votes, politicians have little room to maneuver on the issue, and India's peace overtures go unnoticed as aggressive measures draw headlines. Islamabad's leaders believe their New Delhi counterparts share their sentiments, and public support for nuclear weapons is rising. Business leaders, however, promote peace and trade.

Private entrance: Pakistani textile tycoon prospers from privatization

Article Abstract:

Pakistani textiles tycoon Mian Mansha has eschewed the stereotypical routes of political influence, drugs, and guns through most of his career. Only in the 1990s, as he began diversifying his Nishat Group into banking and cement, did he attract controversy and political attention. A consortium he assembled bought 26% of Muslim Commercial Bank in 1991, followed by D G Khan Cement in 1992. Both have proven to be sound money-makers at a time when drought and government policies are ravaging the textiles industries.
