Pakistanis celebrate Eid al-Fitr with street fairs

Muslims have been celebrating the festival of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of fasting known as Ramadan.
In Pakistan, in cities like Lahore, Eid means neon-lit and food-fueled street fairs long into the night.
Amna Nawaz, an International Reporting Project fellow in Lahore, reports on how Pakistanis view the holiday.

Nice report. You only interviewed well-educated people on their feelings about Eid.

When your 19-years old cousin doesn't know what she is celebrating, in no way can you generalize that for the entire demographic population of Pakistan. You needed to interview more people from different classes.

Furthermore, your wealthy fourteen year old cousin represents small percentage of Pakistan's population. Not all kids in Pakistan feel blessed everyday by being surrounded with money and family members
