Karachi uncovered

There is something fascinating about Pakistan which seems to defy stereotyping or simplicity. A country originally with two branches divided by an entire subcontinent, whose name is an acronym, and whose boundary makes little sense historically. Its a place which seems to be home to both Islamic fundamentalism of the most uncompromising kind, and the type of Islam that is very much at home with rational ideas of science.
