Pakistan emerged as a beautiful travel destination in 2018 after notable foreign travellers like Mark Wiens, Trevor James, and others visited the country. It became a center of attention for foreign travellers because of its affordable services, food, travel, and unmatched hospitality. Over the years, Pakistan has become a go-to destination for travellers from across the globe who admire Pakistanis’ friendly and honest nature, where they are rarely scammed and are often offered food and free services. Foreign travellers also frequently show generosity toward locals.
Recently, a foreign couple paid off the debt of a poor family in Kasur who had reportedly been trapped in bonded labour for 130 years after their grandfather took a hefty loan, which compelled generations of the family to work without pay for years.
The indebted family used to make bricks without wages in an attempt to repay an endless debt and had been working under harsh conditions for generations. Emotional scenes were witnessed when a poor woman hugged the man who generously paid off her family’s debt. The act was widely praised on social media, where many users said it was shameful that such a humanitarian act was carried out by a non-Muslim Western couple instead of members of a Muslim society. Watch the video here:
The couple is garnering immense praise, with many saying the couple will be remembered for years for their unconditional generosity. One wrote, “Humanity is bigger than all religions” Another wrote, “It’s sad and shameful that no Pakistani ever helped them, as there are plenty of rich people ” One wrote, “I feel sad that a foreign couple came to rescue them from such a heinous debt” Another wrote, “It is so sad that there is no justice for poor in Pakistan” Another wrote, “They are helped white people or non Muslims, and no Muslim ever dared to end their hardship” One said, “Curse on all the locals” Read the comments:
