History
Mrs. Pakistan World is the foremost beauty pageant for married women of Pakistani descent. Founder Sonia Ahmed created the pageant as a spin-off of the successful Miss Pakistan World in 2006. The pageant organizer aspires to enhance the "progressive" Pakistani women's goal of achieving "liberation" in what they consider an oppressive society.
The pageant allows delegates from around the world to compete in the pageant and move on to represent Pakistan in international pageants such as Mrs. World and Mrs. Globe. Delegates must be of Pakistani origin with a valid Pakistani passport in order to compete.
In the past few years there have been four international pageants completed by Mrs. Pakistan World since 2007,when the pageant came into existence with Mrs. Pakistan World 2010 - Tahmena Bokhari winning Mrs. United Nations 2010 in Negril, Jamaica. This was considered a great win for the Mrs. Pakistan World company as this was the first title won by Pakistan in 8 years.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Considered in its entirety, psychoanalysis won’t do. It’s an end product, moreover, like a dinosaur or a zeppelin; no better theory can ever be erected on its ruins, which will remain for ever one of the saddest and strangest of all landmarks in the history of twentieth-century thought.”
—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
“When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
