Pakistan- History
He not only specialized in painting different designs on pottery, made varieties of pots and used cotton and wool but also made terracotta figurines and imported precious stones from Afghanistan and Central Asia. This early bronze age culture spread out in the country side of Sindh, Balochistan, Punjab and North West Frontier Province.
And this early beginning led to the concentration of population into small towns. Such as Kot-Diji in Sindh and Rehman Dheri in Dera Ismail Khan District. It is this social and Cultural change that led to the rise of the famous cities of Mohenjodaro and Harappra, the largest concentration of population including artisans, craftsman, businessmen and rulers. This culminated in the peak of the Indus Civilization, which was primarily based on intensive irrigated land agriculture and overseas trade and contact with Iran, Gulf States, Mesopotamia and Egypt. Dams were built for storing river water, land was Cultivated by means of bullock- harnessed plough - a system that still prevails in Pakistan, granaries for food storage were built, furnace were used for controlling temperature for making red pottery and various kinds of ornaments, beads of carnelian, agate and terracotta were pierced through, and above all they traded their finished goods with Central Asia and Arab world. It is these trade divided that enriched the urban populace who developed a new sense of moral honesty, discipline and cleanliness, and above all a social stratification in which the priests and the mercantile class dominated the society. The picture of high civilization can be gathered only by looking at the city of Mohenjodaro, the first planned city in the world, in which streets are aligned straight, parallels to each other, with a cross streets cutting at right angles. It is through these wide streets that wheeled carriages, drawn by bulls or asses, moved about, carrying well-adorned persons seated on them, appreciating the closely aligned houses, made of pucca bricks, all running straight along the streets. And then through the middle of the streets ran stone dressed drains covered with stone slabs - a practice of keeping the streets clean from polluted water, for the first time seen in the world.

Fast longer
Muslims living in the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, should fast longer during the Ramadan holy month, Dubai's leading clerics have said.
During Ramadan, Muslims are supposed to not eat or drink between dawn and dusk.
"Burj Khalifa is almost one km (0.6 miles) high, which means people in higher floors can still see the sun after it has set on the ground," Ahmed Abdul Aziz al-Haddad told Reuters.
He said they should break their fast two minutes after those on the ground.
Another Dubai cleric, Mohammed al-Qubaisi, has been quoted as saying that people living above the 80th floor should fast for an extra two minutes, while those on the 150th floor and higher should wait for three more minutes before eating or drinking.
The 828m- (2,716ft-) high Burj Khalifa has 160 floors and was opened in 2010.
The clerics say there are ancient precedents in Islamic law.
Mr Qubaisi said that under such rulings, people living on mountains should also break their fast after those at ground level.
Ramadan began last week.

Dedication then Education.
Analysis
WE all know and seen what happens to jashan azadi. No matter what we call it, wrong timing day or tickets. We all have seen attendance was less then normally we get. Above factor do contribute in less attendance but major factor can be PANZ political arrogance against business community. As we all know business community use to be great contributor of jashan e azadi for many years. Other hand jashan we saw panz has some constitutional breeches too. No call for executive election, No call for membership, no Agm. Rumors are running in community that Mr. Khan want to run community affairs as he did when he was president last time.
Panz has its constitution, under which we need executives to complete panz body (for their job please refer to constitution tag)
Agm is annual report which panz tell community their progress and face questions.
Jamshaid ul Hassan former president of panz was blamed to be an ill literate and incapable of running panz affair. He proved otherwise. Here we have well educated and capable leadership, proving that community work needs more dedication then education.
