Behind the cricket-mad headlines, Lahore still carries its old Mughal-capital swagger — the runways and studios turn out fashion Models at a clip you wouldn't guess from a subcontinental megacity, and the Physicist bench is a quiet echo of the pre-Partition university scene when this was the liberal heart of Punjab. Alhamra and Government College still sit where the Mayo School of Arts drew the city's first generation of painters and engineers out into the wider world.
