The week has been crazy .I ‘ve been trying to write a report titled,“ Federalism in Pakistan :The Liberal perspective” .As the week ended, I finally managed to pass it to the designer to make it all nice and pretty. Also trying to juggle newspaper articles deadlines…. these deadlines will be the death of me one day.
However, I did manage to steal off some quality time for myself during the week and visit the Lok Virsa Museum which also goes by the name of the Heritage Museum.
Excellent . It is excellent.It depicts Pakistani lifestyles and culture beautifully.All the four provinces are represented, there is a corner for the outstanding women of Pakistan , there are artisans at work , there is Kalash and the Northern Areas.Thankfully there is no Kashmir! A Freudian slip or ???? Hmm…
Jinnah is shown having tea with Rana Liaqat Ali Khan , the wife of the First Prime Minister of Pakistan , with Jinnah ’s sister Fatima Ali Jinnah standing at the side.What I liked about all this was the attention to detail although Jinnah ’s white kurta could do with a wash!
On the whole very nice and the ticket is extremely nominal…pay thirty rupees and you get a grand tour of Pakistan’s culture. Its a pity that they don’t have a website.
Taking photographs is not allowed. Pity.
Next time in Islamabad, your first stop should be the Lok Virsa.
