Is media playing positive roll in Pakistan?
Media can help stabilise and strengthen the country by playing educational and informative role and by imparting knowledge to the masses as knowledge is power and only a well-informed society can develop a positive approach towards fife. As is generally admitted media has become a teacher for society and, has taken over the role of parents as far as children are concerned. By ensuring informative content and news as well as considered views, it can continuously enlighten the masses. If people accept developmental approach and hold clear view on various issues and developments, there will be minimum social and political friction.
Media, is in fact, a mirror of society which can remove negative spots by showing its face in this mirror. Thus media can play a diagnostic role in pointing out the negative tendencies and suggest ways and means to counter such tendencies. Media can stabilise or destabilise a society or a country and Pakistan cannot be an exception.
What role media can play in strengthening and stabilising Pakistan is an important issue. The reason is that media is the ultimate weapon in the hands and it must play, its desired role. Pakistan is at crossroads and in transition. The society and culture are threatened. Patterns of life are changing because of education and media impact and this change has to be facilitated in a positive manner.
We must be on the guard and must also cope with the world. There are challenges and we need enlightened responses. Media must continue to enlighten us.

What is consumer price index in Pakistan?
Inflation is an economic phenomenon that touches our lives on daily basis. In fact it is imperative to understand the concept of inflation to plan and manage budget be that of a small household. Inflation is generally defined as the rate at which prices increase in an economy over a period of time. A 'price index' is a measured indicator of the changes in the prices of a 'basket' of goods and services over a given base year.
The Federal Bureau of Statistics (FBS) of the Government of Pakistan computes inflation using three different indices namely:
i. Consumer Price Index (CPI) also called 'headline inflation' is the main measure of price changes at the retail level. It is used to measure changes in the cost of buying a representative fixed basket of goods and services and indicates the general 'rate of inflation' in the country. CPI was computed for the first time in the cities of Karachi, Lahore and Sialkot. CPI is the most widely used measure of inflation in the world;
ii. Sensitive Price Indicator (SPI) is constructed on weekly basis to assess the price movements of essential commodities at short intervals;
iii. Wholesale Price Index (WPI) depicts directional movements of prices for a set of selected items in the primary and wholesale markets. Items covered in the basket of WPI are those which could be precisely defined and are offered in lots by producers / manufacturers.

Some of the products in the CPI basket have temporary price shocks. Since these shocks can diverge from the overall trend of inflation and give a false measure of inflation, so a subset of CPI called 'core inflation' is used, as an alternate, to reflect the extent of underlying long-term inflation.
Core inflation is calculated by excluding products with volatile and controlled prices from the CPI basket. There are two methods employed by the Pakistan's FBS to calculate core inflation i.e., Trimmed-Mean Inflation (TMI) and Non-Food & Non-Energy (NFNE) inflation.
TMI is computed by three steps:
i. First all the CPI items are arranged in ascending order according to Year-over-Year (YoY) changes in their prices in a given month;
ii. 20% of the items showing extreme changes are excluded i.e., 10% of the items at the top of the list and 10 % at the bottom of the list;
iii. The weighted mean of the price changes of the rest of the items is core inflation.
NFNE inflation is calculated by excluding food group and energy items (kerosene oil, petrol, diesel, CNG, electricity and natural gas) from the CPI basket.

Which country is better India or Pakistan?
This question is a matter of opinion.
Contributors have said:
This question needs to be answered keeping many factors in mind. It needs comparison using various parameters. Although current geo-political and economic factors tilt the scale in India's favor. In fact, Pakistan finds a mention in list of "worlds 10 most dangerous places" as compiled by "TIMES" magazine.
Do not forget that Pakistan is also one of the world's most beautiful places. Plus Pakistan's soil is better too. And clothes.
Both countries are equally good. We are still humans. We share the same land. We share the same feelings.
India with $4.06 trillion GDP is a lot of money.
(Both countries are still considered poor)
