This is truly unfortunate. I had made a trip to Pakistan once and it was just shocking to observe the disparity between the wealthy caste and well just about everybody else. Apparently, 75% of the population (which is over 150 million) is illiterate.

The general population is so terribly exploited by the wealthy and powerful. Take a look at their present leader Zardari- known as Mr. ten percent and who has reportedly stolen over 1 billion dollars from Pakistan's treasury while his wife was in power.

For Pakistan change can only happen from within and they need some sincere leadership that would actually be interested in correcting the disparity between the rich and very poor and not just profiting from it.
