Pakistan: A Beginner’s Guide to Liberal Politics


I have managed to devise a five-step approach for the layman towards becoming a liberal in Pakistani politics.
For the past one year, I have met quite a few people who are termed in Pakistani politics as “liberals”. Personally, I find this quite refreshing as I am from the generation who grew up during Zia’s era; the generation which was mainly inspired by our armed forces and characters like Mehmood Ghaznavi.
However, based on my prolonged discussions with the liberals, I have managed to devise a five-step approach for the layman towards becoming a liberal in Pakistani politics.
Step 1: Question the Two-Nation Theory:
This is the most important and basic step. You must question why India was divided and say that Jinnah’s decision was based on greed for power and a desire to rule over a separate country. You must also raise the question of the grave injustice imparted on the Urdu speaking people who migrated from India through such a divide.
Question Jinnah’s capabilities, his westernised demeanour and his disconnection with the masses. Throw a bit of Gandhi in the conversation and his love for secularism.
