TO GO WITH Pakistan-religion-minority-science-Nobel,FEATURE by Waqar Hussain
This picture taken on July 13, 2012, shows a worker cleaning the portrait of Pakistan’s only Nobel laureate Professor Abdus Salam at the state-run school where he received his early education in the town of Jhang, 300 kilometers southwest of Islamabad. The two-room bungalow, the birth place of Pakistan’s only Nobel laureate, today stands empty, testament to the indifference, bigotry and prejudice surrounding the country’s greatest scientist.
