The world around is too divided and disconnected. People disregard and discriminate each other on the basis of race, ethnicity, political ideology and colour.
Languages are a bridge to build communication and understanding. Pakistan is one of those countries that has a richness of culture and diversity. This diversity can be a strength if we make an effort to know and understand each other.
Ma Boli was a celebration of this diversity, an effort to revive the regional languages of Pakistan and in the process, understand the message of love, compassion and kindness that is the forte of all languages.
It is the first step in a movement to include people from different regions living in our very own city and give them the opportunity to highlight the glory and grandeur of their Ma Boli.
