Ever noticed when a foreign film talks about Pakistan, they always narrow down the perception of the country to terrorism, Muslim extremists or a country filled with rooted-troubles which tamper the rest of the world? More often, we see when a foreign film or TV show talk about terrorist attacks from Muslims, Pakistan’s name is always mentioned.

To the rest of the world, Pakistan is some 3rd world country where locals don’t even get clean water for consumption. These films would show Pakistan as a poor country filled with backward people and not being close to the level of development Pakistan has witnessed.

To Attempt Something Different, Maha Meer Dressed up As ‘Pakistan’ On Halloween

In her images, she perfectly described the image of Pakistan in the rest of the world!

Here’s What She Shared While Defining the Idea of Dressing Up As Pakistan and to Change the Image of People:

Meet me. “I dressed as a P-A-K-I-S-T-A-N-I ?? on Halloween ?(or as the world knows us, Pakistanis) and I’ve scared other Pakistani on the street. ?” I don’t get a lot of footage in movies across the world but you must know my two famous dialogues. ?
1)”Asalamoalaikum, Bhae Rizwan, ghar mein sab kaisa hai?”
2)”Allahuakbar” bas, end of the story…of life.” ?

Let see what more do you think you know about me. ▫️Name: Rizwan-ul-Haq (pronounced as Riizwen in my country; other parts of the world call me nothing frankly; they die before taking my name only; that is P-A-K-I…oh there goes a bomb. .
▫️Father’s name: Hajji Naseerudeen (Runs a kiryannay ki dukaan in Lahore, Part time Mullah, 24/7 Jihaadi) .
▫️Birthplace: near Badshaahi mosque (and you can see it from literally all the angles) ?

▫️Language: Habibi, we speak Pakistanian.
.
▫️Education: what education? I work at a “kiryaana” ki dukaan with my “abba huzoor“, mulana naseerudin. Arey, we don’t raise kids to be doctors, engineers, etc. We just tell them frankly, “Hey my son Bablo, you’ll be a terrorist. Kid! we’re Pakistani”) ?
.
▫️Job: Part time mechanic. Full time Jihaadi ⚔️ .
▫️Spouse: Zainab Bibi and 3 others. (“Oh you can’t see her”)?‍♂️ .
▫️Children: Chintu, minoo, banno…and oh there were four more can’t remember their names now Lahoual wallah .
▫️Special talents: I can use two bottle of kohl on my eyes everyday and I keep dropping bombs here and there. (Forgetful af). And I keep 5 underground “Jihaadi” on my speed dial… oh yes yes all the time.??‍♂️ .
▫️Status: Active and celebrating Eid somewhere.?

This is a satirical portrayal of a Pakistani shown and known worldwide. Though, this is not even near to the reality. Pakistan ?? is a beautiful and an amazing country with a lot to offer to the world. Unfortunately, the world sees Pakistan from the lenses and screens of stereotypical media.  Peace and love x

It is great to see when locals try to speak up and play their part in showing the world what Pakistan really is all about. While we may not be a perfect country, we are still trying the very best to and each day, we succeed.

Kudos to Maha Meer for coming up with such an amazing idea for the Halloween – something we all need to preach and talk about!
