Victory for American way of life and education system. A culture and civilization which is good for Pakistani elite, why its not good for other classes.
"There were 800 delegates representing 199 countries, including Uganda and Iran"
Uganda Iran - really? no fishin way. OMG this really must be a prestigious event. For Gods sake please choose better examples.
Go City Darakshan! Go IBA.
These kids made the Pakistani people proud, they achieved something that not many people are capable of and above all they worked HARD. They portrayed Pakistan in a positive light on a global platform, something that the generation before them cannot take credit for. They maybe Grammarians but they're Pakistanis first and that my dear friend Ovais, is something you should appreciate.
and the point is ... the most elite school in pakistan will get it .. not an achievement at all ... just good pr
Congrats!! But why is Harvard MUN taking place in Hyderabad?
Bravo! Congratulations! A proud moment for the country mA :)

Yaaaay go Grammarians. Now please stay in Pakistan instead of becoming investment bankers in the US
awesum best wishes
Congrats to the KGS team :)
