Yet Paki should be correct... even politically. Doesn't the word "stan" means "land of" in Persian/Farsi? (I suspect they speak Persian/Farsi there). It makes more sense to me to call the people Paki, since it is the "land of the Paki" not... "Land of the Pakistani" because that would make the country "Pakistanistan"
