Did you ever heard about what they did with Abdus Salam? and motivating your kids to do MCP is nonsense? yea she was great but still i think she dont worth to have things named after her. It would be better if they promote real giants (Alan Turing, Dennis Ritchie etc), most of Pakistanis are unaware of them. They think computer science is just Microsoft and Bill gates.

I'm from India. Abdus Salam was MY hero while growing up in the 80s. I kind of understand the weird religio-politics in Pakistan, which seems to have led to Dr.Salam being marginalized.

I'm starting to see where you are coming from, but I really think its OK to celebrate this girl's success and recognition.
