How rock music is becoming a force for change in Islamic Pakistan.
Five years ago, popular music was effectively banned in Pakistan because it was considered foreign and un-Islamic. Then a military coup in 1999 opened the country to outside influences and loosened the stifling grip of the clerics. Now rock music is Pakistan's biggest entertainment sector, and the superstar band, Junoon, is helping to heal a long-standing rift with neighbouring India.
