Pakistani Doctoral Student and Vlogger Mariya Tarik

I suspect that Pakistani Vlogger Mariya Tarik will someday become a university professor. And, she will be a fantastic instructor when she starts teaching. I have learned from her videos that she has completed her MPhil degree, a halfway step in some countries towards completing your PhD. She does both monologues and public discussions on controversial issues with the public in Lahore. The Socratic dialogue style that she uses demonstrates a keen intellect and it is especially remarkable how she is able to get people to think when she poses her questions.

Mariya asks difficult questions and she is not afraid to talk about issues that many might be scared to discuss in public. Follow her tone of questioning, however, and it is clear that she is looking at directing both her audience's and her counterparts' thoughts towards helping sort contentious issues out in promoting the idea of peace. Do follow this lady. She is brilliant.

Iman and Moazzam - The "News, Views and Updates" Channel

Iman and Moazzam are young Pakistani siblings who look at videos of various aspects of life in India from across the border in Pakistan, and react to what they see. In addition, they feature historical locations in Pakistan that are always of interest, in a region that is thousands of years old. Seventy plus years of intense hostility between India and Pakistan have erased the memory of the two countries' shared history from the minds of the younger generations on both sides of the border. Iman and Moazzam are among a dedicated group of young peace activists who work to keep the memories of a shared history alive. Kudos to them!

Entrepreneur, Social Worker and Documentary Film-Maker Rehan Allahwala

Rehan Allahwala is a man with much to commend him. From a successful background in technology entrepreneurship to his current aim of promoting education, encouraging both the financially weak as well as members of the minority in Pakistan to take entrepreneurship up, and with very strong video production skills (he likely has a superb team to film and edit his videos) his work in promoting peace is exemplary. I would sincerely hope that his attempts at fanning the sparks of curiosity that exist in most peoples' minds into warming and constructive flames succeed in a big way. This is one more good-hearted individual whose success is certain to make the world a better place.

Indian Instagram "Influencer" Meghna Kaur is Doing a Great Job Arranging Support for Indian Coronavirus Patients

I am wary of "influencers" on Instagram and other media, because most of these are people trying hard to get themselves noticed. How much time can you spend shaking your head sympathetically for someone who wants every aspect of their lives presented online in a faux milk and honey format? There's a reason why I follow some of these young people (and some not so young ones). It has long been a hobby of mine to find and expose scammers and cheats and many of these hang around attractive young women to try and phish. That's another story, though! Today's peacemaker is Meghna Kaur, a young woman whom I know nothing about. She does not make documentaries or seem to have a VLog like all of the others I've featured so far. Most of the young lady's posts are social ones about outings with friends, short holidays at Tier-2 resorts etc. But in recent weeks, while India has seen a horrific spike in Wuhan Virus cases, she has done something that ought to stand out a...
