Pakistani media is too limited in its view of its own people. The country’s linguistic and cultural diversity, given its size and heritage is comparable to few other nations in the world. Unfortunately much of our cultural infrastructure is built around ideas of ‘properness’ that only a narrow population is ever able to fit. All news channels speak the same kind of Urdu. The prestigious schools frown upon even that, and push children to speak in English instead. To no surprise to historians on this list, this is inextricably linked to colonization, but we are past the point where it can be blamed on only that.
