“Lifestyle Pakistan” in New Delhi is a by-product of this new realisation. More than 100 Pakistani traders, entrepreneurs, top designers and models turned up in India’s national capital recently to display that face of Pakistan which has not been exposed to the full public glare in India. For the first time, an exclusive Pakistani trade fair and exhibition was organised in the heart of Delhi.
For Indians, it was a special treat for four days, starting April 12 and ending April 15. Despite the lack of proper publicity, “Lifestyle Pakistan” drew huge crowds – some came out of curiosity, but many came to buy Pakistani fabrics, basmati rice, paintings, artworks, handicrafts and many other products.
