    I vote YES for the creation of soc.culture.pakistan. Considering the
heat generated in the last few days in s.c.i by Indians, Pakistanis, quasi
Indians and quasi Pakistanis, this move should cool the fervor a bit. And
we can go back to discussing all the seasonally important things on s.c.i:
dowry deaths, arranged marriages, ABCDs, the X+1 syndrome ... (I digress :-)).
