Scholars may be familiar with the racist propaganda that West Pakistanis began to use against East Pakistanis in their school books, that West Pakistanis were "Tall Fair and ate Wheat" whereas East Pakistanis were "Short Dark and eat Rice", prior to the country's dismemberment at the hands of Indian Armed Forces in 1971. For some reason, Pakistanis also began to adopt a similar view against other South Asians and would shamelessly do so in public fora! Perhaps they've never seen a mirror?
There have been several accusations of acts of homosexual behavior within the Pakistan Army. We do recruit a lot of transvestites/hijras due to poor physical standards of the general volunteer and hence, this activity cannot be avoided within the Pakistani Army.

Has anyone in Pakistan realised how they really are? To an extent, President General Musharaff seems to have. He himself writes the following,
Today we are the poorest, the most illiterate, the most backward, the most unhealthy, the most un-enlightened, the most deprived, and the weakest of all the human race
