[tps_header]This Independence Day, we at SiddySays continue to celebrate Pakistan and its brilliant people. With talented people in every conceivable field, we short-listed 10 Pakistanis who made us proud, some well known, some not-so-well known, to show the world that we are fiercely talented and resilient. Put us through a military coup or a corrupt democracy, in the words of Gloria Gaynor ‘ I will survive!’.
This list is in no particular order as the following individuals excel in their fields and strive for even more![/tps_header]
