Cynthia D. Ritche is a badass a pro-Pakistan American travel adventurist. She’s a freelance producer and director, Cynthia has been living in Pakistan for quite long now, and she loves to learn new Urdu words. She’s been interviewed multiple times in Pakistan and wallah! She talks complete Urdu.
Cynthia is also a journalist who is in deep love with Pakistan. She does everything in her capacity to show the very different and true image of Pakistan that the west is missing out! All the beautiful mountains, colorful truck art, chai dhabas, and versatility of people. Cynthia is often bashed by many western and sometimes even native Pakistanis for doing what she does the best.
She tries her best to show the positive image of Pakistan and for which many have a misconception
@CynthiaDRitchie enjoying on the roads of Peshawar,
She is an American director/ producer, and shows a positive image of #Pakistan to the world through her work.?@GulBukhari ???

She quoted an Australian based media house, which at some point mentioned Pakistani streets to be “war-torn”. She posted a video with many kids and their parents in reply.
Amazing!
Apparently @abcsydney thinks the streets of Pakistan are "war-torn":https://t.co/zBT1I6jkCY
Let's show them there is #PositivePakistan & #BeautifulPakistan, too!
Pakistan Zindabad!??

After photos in Peshawar riding a cycle and a rickshaw, to show people that it is completely fine to do in Pakistan. She tried to portray that women are more empowered here than what many people think!

But all she got in return was hate and taunts for being a “Gori”
Gori come to waziristan to show soft image of our destroyed waziristan

This one “Human Rights Activist” and a “feminist” actually bashed Cynthia, said that why are we outsourcing to show the positive image of Pakistan!
OH WELL! Hypocrite much?!
Have locals fallen short of giving a positive image of the country that even positive image building had to be outsourced?

Cynthia did reply to her and she is SAVAGE!
Dear @Gulalai_Ismail;
I see you identify as a feminist. Feminism means, among other things, promoting social equality of the sexes- why should country of origin matter?
My goal w/ Pesh images is to encourage a sense of normalcy, promoting peace & progress in Pakistan. 1/2 https://t.co/o9GIU3BAKz

She backed her argument by saying that people react to what they see; shown by the western media. Sometimes we need a little more encouragement!
Can’t agree more
2/2
Pakistan has been bombarded w/ negative imaging for so long (mostly by international media & then domestic) the people start believing & behaving in a manner consistent with that imaging – a self-fulfilling prophesy.We all need a little outside encouragement at times. Peace https://t.co/Q4RVUWPUIj

She said that in this twitter war she recently learned two new Urdu words!
Topi drama and Landay ka maal!
Acha? https://t.co/K1qcr0Tz4d

Her sarcasm is ON POINT!
Perhaps we have a slight difference of opinion, lol.
I enjoyed my time in India, btw. I was in Delhi when Pakistan played against India – absolute pagal pan (and I know nothing about cricket) but I had a great time. Lovely people. And food, of course. ?
Cheers! https://t.co/Ugs6HUSDZp

How are you so sure about it!
Must have attracted a lot of stares in Peshawar

Well well well! People and their hate on the internet is a vicious circle! Never ending. Cynthia is doing a great job, and she knew it all along that she will face all this criticism and hate and she has always been ready and straight-headed!
What do you think?! Let us know in the comments below. 😉
