The condition of the village is really poor. People are illiterate and have no living sense. The most important thing is people are mostly involve in domestic politics, they always find issues or try to create it which result in the demolition of individuals and families. They always to led down the other, if someone is improving financially, these people don't waste even a single chance to spoil his/her life. Gujjar is basically a cast. This cast is consider very morel but due to the monopoly of raja's in this area has spoiled Gujjar's and their families to backward. Rajas has played very bad role for this society. Even most of their families are involve in killing and robberies. But they get release from the police by offer bribe. It is also a point that there isn't such law implementation. Raja's always try to pull back one who want to change the life of these people to keep their hold on the society.

In old times Chakora was famous for its full-bearded men who were regular namazis and staunch Muslims, life was very simple, in the whole village only two or three houses were built of red bricks. With the changing times Chakora and its inhabitants have also modernised, most of the inhabitants and their offspring are overseas employed with good earnings, nowadays instead of Kaccha houses elegant Kothees have taken place. While in old days Daraz Khan was famous for his oxen, one of his oxen was offered a grand price of about one lakh Rupees in 60s but he refused that offer and sacrificed the ox on Eid in the name of God.

The most notable feature of the populace is the high level of education, it is often said even the old women are fluent in at least two European languages. There is a substantial number of post doctoral research fellows amongst the modern generation.
Some of the popular past times include philately, trainspotting, theology and daily geo-political debating. [and editing Wikipedia presumably]

The population of this village is approximately 50 people. Despite its extremely small community, the village is self-sufficient in all basic resources, including electricity, telephone and water. Gas hasn't been provided to the village, even though many strong promises were made by the previous and current political figures.

Mainly tribes are Raja, Chaudry, Mirza, Qureshi and farmers' families reside there. Indeed this is a great people's place. In the last 50 years so many times Nala Ghan (Barsati Nala) tried to destroy them but these people never lost their hope and are trying to fight for the best life for themselves and for others.

I'm British and I can say with confidence that we don't have tails. I've also visited Pakistan, twice, and I can also say that the tone and content of those articles is entirely consistent with the tone and content of their English-speaking national publications.

There's actually a discussion going on on Jimbo's talk page about Pakistan village articles. I assume that's what prompted you to make this topic?
