Dear Editor,

I recently wrote an email to your offices, in response to your article, Karachi (Pakistan) - A doomed city (edition 16 Jan 2012). The actual email is detailed below...

Someone from your Hong Kong offices, then called me on the 19th January to advise me that your magazine wanted to publish my email in the next edition. This is what was published in your magazine on 6th February 2012:

Of Pakistans 180 million people, more than half are under the age of 25. The youth of Pakistan is its strength. If you think that India is a booming nation, I suggest you stop a second and look at Pakistan. Given a little help from the Western world, Pakistan can become a dominant economy.

Tony Lazaro,

SYDNEY

Firstly, what you published is both inaccurate and non reflective of the email that I sent to your magazine. Not only have you doctored the words you have chosen to print, but you have published less than 50 words (three sentences)....of the email that I sent to you. That is complete nonsense.

At best, your attempt to publish my words can only be seen as an insult ....... at worst it can be deemed as a complete disgrace . A disgrace to your company, a disgrace to your industry and a disgrace to the role of editor that you occupy.

I have tried to keep an open mind about Pakistan, both from a professional and non-judgemental point of view. The Pakistani people are constantly reminding me that the media in the Western world, will not print anything good about the country. But I chose to ignore them... and in sending your magazine my email, I gave YOU the opportunity to prove every Pakistani wrong. Instead you have done the opposite. You have proved each and every Pakistani is right. The Western world will not print anything nice about their country.

I would like to say that I am disappointed, but being from the Western world myself, I am nothing less than embarrassed by what you have done. You have taken my email and butchered the very soul of what I was trying to say...and in doing so you have let me and every Western person down. You had the opportunity to be seen as the media to reach out.... and instead you turned a blind eye.

I really believed that Time Magazine, was above the rest of the (run of the mill) magazines and that it prided itself on reporting real events and real stories. I have grown up thinking that your magazine provides insight into what is truth, what is justice and basically what is fair. But today, everything has changed. Today, I have cancelled my subscription. Today I will seek an alternative method to give a helping hand to Pakistan, as it is blatantly obvious that Time Magazine, doesnt want to.

With utmost disappointment, yours

Dear Editor,

I recently returned from a charitable trip to Pakistan, whereby I visited both Karachi and Islamabad. I spoke with several universities, key businesses, prominent business leaders and several religious people from all generations....

On the day I returned to the office, someone had placed your magazine (January 16, 2012), on my desk. I read with interest your article on Karachi and the city in doom. For a person to have just returned from the very same place that your magazine described was somewhat bizarre, so I read with great detail your writer (Andrew Marshalls) account.

Let me begin by saying that I often flick through your magazine and find the articles of great interest, but on this particular day and this particular article, I found certain comments to be both one sided and indeed very negative. I say that because I saw a different Pakistan to what was portrayed in your article. I do not and will not comment on the political or religious problems that the country faces, but I will go so far as to say that not everything is as bad as the image that your magazine paints.

Sure there are deaths in the cities. Please show me a city in the world, that is free from political fighting and unrest. Sure there are differences in the political party opinions. Please show me a country in the world where the political parties agree. Sure the innocent are suffering. Please show me a country in the world where wealth and power is equal and the innocent dont suffer. Sure corruption is in Pakistan. Please show me a country in the world that is corruption free.

My list could go on, but my point is that Pakistan does have problems...but so does every other country in the world in some way or another. However, in the case of ALL other nations, there are often good things to report and the media goes out of its way to promote these good things across the globe, whenever possible. The ridiculous amount of shootings in the USA are balanced off by the success of Google, Microsoft and Apple. The financial dilemmas of Greece are lost in the marketing of the Greek Islands as a holiday destination of choice. The child slave industry of India, is brushed under the carpet in favour of the nations growth in the global software boom. What I am trying to say, is that someone needs to look further into Pakistan and see that there are millions of great stories to write about, which would portray the country in a different light, to that what is being portrayed by your article.

When I was in Pakistan, I visited a towel manufacturing company (Alkaram Towels). They produced some $60million in export in 2011 and are aiming at $85million in 2012. A substantial increase in sales...in a recession I would remind you. The company was started by the current Chairman, Mr. Mehtab Chawla, at the tender age of nine, after his father passed away. Today the very man employs 3000 staff. Now thats a story.

I visited universities of NED, Hamdard, Karachi, Szabist and NUST. The students are unbelievably intelligent. They spend their spare time developing APPS for android and apple. They are involved in cutting edge technology and no one in the world knows this. Why not send a reporter to Pakistan to look into this. Why not research good things in this nation, rather than just the bad things. At NUST (National Institution for Science and Technology Islamabad)) there were 38,000 applications for medicine. There are only 83 seats for the medicine course on offer. The competition is unbelievable. In short it pushes the best to be even better. But the world doesnt know this. Why ? Because no one wants to report on it, or no one knows about it...or both !!

Please do not get me wrong. I understand that news is news, but it is high time that the western world stopped promoting these terrorists and political wars in Pakistan and started to write something that would help the nation. Something positive. If we really care about global partnerships and economic growth, then I suggest we try and give Pakistan a helping hand. There are 180 million people in Pakistan, 65% are under the age of 25. The youth of Pakistan is its strength.. it is like a sleeping giant. If you think that India is a booming nation. I suggest you stop a second and look at Pakistan. Given a little help from the western world, Pakistan can become a dominant economy. She doesnt want aid and she doesnt need money... she just wants the chance to be seen in a different light. I believe we have a fundamental obligation to assist. The only question is, who will reach out first.
