The Diaspora’s Duty | Blog | DAWN.COM:
"While many have studied Pakistanis living in the Middle East and the conservative ideologies they imported back home, little has been said about the great number of Pakistanis living in Western democratic societies. With over 300,000 individuals of Pakistani origin living in North America and two million in Europe, and four billion dollars in remittances each year, one would think that there would be a similar exchange as with Mid-east migrants. However, many members of the Western Diaspora have not imported back ideals of secularism and democratic rule because they are “foreign to Pakistan.”"
