The term "Pakish" was conceived and designed as a strategic tool by a Pakish design-thinker Danish Rahi in 1980's and its one of the first official use can be found in one of his interviews with the magazine "The Saturday Post". The term made headlines when it was launched as the title of the book "The Pakish Identity" published in the U.S. and became part of the U.S. [Library of Congress] archives. Rahi describes the term (Pakish) and discuss its conception in detail in the [3rd] part of the book which is compiled of over 360 pages.

The term "Pakish" was designed in [collaboration] with P.A.W.E.R.R, a think-tank focused on [intelligent design] and strategic thinking with members in the U.S., Turkey and Pakistan. The term was designed and then [officially] launched as a nation-branding strategy and P.A.W.E.R.R is also involved in a legal and official use of the term in the private and public sectors of Pakistan.
