Pak Blogsphere - Top Ten Posts - 2006

Tags: Blogs, Top Ten Blog Posts, 2006, Review

By Ayesha Saeed and Shirazi

If one sets aside the usual blogsphere buzz, rabid trolls, rants and ramblings one notices that the year 2006 saw the Pakistani blogsphere alive to the blogspot ban, to remembering the October earthquake, to the vagaries of domestic Pakistani politics and to tumultuous events on the international front. The Pakistani blogsphere matured into a wider and more dynamic community. Light Within celebrated the Top Ten blogs from the Pakistani blogsphere and to wind up the year, we now present the best posts from 2006. It was a difficult task to sift through the burgeoning Pakistani blogsphere and pick out what we remembered as the best of the year. But here follow our favourites(in no particular order)::

  1. Dainal: Islam, Earthquake and Disasters
  2. Zakintosh: Hadd ho gaee!
  3. Bilal Zubari: Muslim Nobel Prize Winners
  4. Ali Etraz: Free, Free Pakistan
  5. Mast Qalander: Pakistani Turbans
  6. Raza Noor : Lahore
  7. Dr. Awab Alvi: October Earthquake archive
  8. Owais Mughal: Auto Rickshaw - A Socio-Mechanical Study
  9. Norbert Pintsch and Ghayyoor Obaid: Extreme Housing
  10. Abu Abdur Rahman: Free Speech in Pakistan? You're serious?

We invite you to pick out what you consider to be the best of the Pakistani blogsphere.
