But, through my poor experiences, most of Pakistani ppl who have some interest in calligraphy, tend to prefer writing other writing forms like thuluth as their artwork. I kept asking to calligraphers there "why not Nastaliq". This is actually my concern that Pakistani Nastaliq as an art form might be dying slowly.
Why is Urdu almost always written in Nastaliq (cursive calligraphy style), but Arabic and Persian only reserve Nastaliq for art or poetry?

If it's for real, hope better domestic platform could be established. Otherwise, ajnabee like me can't pay anything there since we can't even keep stable local bank account there depending on the situation 🤑
