    There are [10] photos from Pakistan

    One day Journalists will 'also' cover the progressive side of FATA. (While the red shawls silently pay tribute to Pakhtun nationalism, the UN funding for setting up this school for girls explicitly demonstrates the capitalist ideology of sustainable development gradually penetrating in FATA through foreign aid). Views[285] One day we will share our struggle with the entire world. (A typical scene from Bajour’s buzy market. For Pakhtun men tough labor work is an important part of growing up). Views[283] One day I will teach the art of responsible parenting. (Wrapped in a beautiful traditional chaddar/shawl a beautiful girl taking good care of her younger sibling) Views[291] One day Disney will film our folklore. (Girls playing in the lush green fields of Bajour) Views[312] One day children from all corners of the world will come and pick wild flowers with us. (Children pose for the camera as they make their way home after picking wild flowers and orchards from the lush green farms). Views[306]
     
    A high-spirited tribesman, working hard at marble mines to earn a better living for his family, hoping for peace to return Views[451] Modern machinery, being used for the production of marbles, reduces the wastage to 80%. Views[650] Traditional mud-houses on the naturally abundant mountains of FATA. One of the peaks, storing marble deposits, clearly shows a mud-house (at the top), attacked and destroyed due to militancy. Views[917] Welcome to FATA- the Wild Wild West of the East. This picturesque landscape, which continues to hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons, has much more to it than one could imagine. Nature has bestowed these rough and rugged mountains of FATA with unlimited reserves of marbles. In the post conflict zone of Bajour the ongoing production of Marble is contributing considerably towards the economic uplift of the local communities. Views[1486]
