To say the tourism industry in Pakistan is a big deal is not an overstatement at all. It employs over 3.9 million people, and 80 million people travel within the country every year.

But as the country pushes for growth, there are things that need to be looked at to ensure sustainability. Are the communities hosting the tourists being treated fairly? How is tourism impacting their infrastructure? Are potential workers being upskilled to keep up with demand?

These are some of the questions that the Root Network is attempting to answer through its programs. We sat down with Aneeqa Ali, Sara Kazi, and Laila Rajani after the conclusion of their pilot project to talk about what they've learned, and what's next.

He talks to us about how that's central to the success of the businesses he's been involved with. Ehsan is also a coffee snob, and we're always down for a good conversation about our favorite brews.

منذ 5 أعوام55:38

55:38

Karachi is home to a diverse and vibrant underground music scene. We've occasionally seen artists rise to mainstream success. Other times, it's a story of long days and nights, as artists try to strike the balance between day jobs that keep them financially stable, and chasing dreams. We caught up with Daniel Panjwaneey aka Alien Panda Jury, to talk about Pakistan's music scene. Working as an audio engineer, as well as musician, Danny talks about the challenges artists in Pakistan face.

1:10:39

It's very likely that you learned about Western literature while in school, but as time goes on, we are teaching (and being taught) less and less about South Asian literature. We all know who Shakespeare is, but some of us have never heard of Manto. That's where Qissa-Go comes in. The UAE-based collective focuses on the preservation of South Asian languages and culture through storytelling. We had the chance to sit down and talk to founder, Tanya Daud, and Chief Services Officer, Fraz Ajmal while on a recent trip to Dubai. They talked to us about what they do, why it's important, the richness of South Asian languages, and why they aren't more prominent today.…

The Localist Podcast is all about finding the local heroes of Pakistan that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. Anam Tabba is a perfect example of one of these heroes.
