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:
“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
—Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)
