[B] Best Pakistani Education Sites: [/B]
Considering that the driving force behind the Internet's popularity in Pakistan is the student community, it is a surprise that few attempts are underway to cash in on the education market. Websites like eTaleem and U2Test easily rise to the top due to the distinctive nature of the services they offer on the scant e-learning scene - minus the presence of XYZ institutes and schools online, mind you. Judging on the basis of quality content and variety, we drew up a handful of links that students of all ages will find useful in their search for local educational references.

[B] Best Pakistani Politics Sites: [/B]

To believe or not to believe, that is really the question. If the Internet would have been around two decades ago, it would be very popular with politicians and their potential voters - there were no 'free' public forums to speak of then. It is proving popular with the politicians today but it is hard to say what their target audience makes of the lengthy mission statements online. A few years of public scrutiny, not to mention the same politicians' time in office has made netizens skeptical of all the hot air blowing off the Websites of major political parties in the country. Why we think you should give them a click? Because the politically inclined have done a darn good job of it.
