The discoveries of Pakistan
Nehru wrote The Discovery of India in the Ahmednagar Fort prison. I began my journey to Discover Pakistan in the New Central Jail, Multan
So reads a small segment of the book on the Discovery of Pakistan, The Indus Saga-From Pataliputra to Partition by Aitzaz Ahsan, a legal luminary, human rights activist and an unrelenting champion of democracy. History is often made by the churning of buoyant minds, and discoveries are made by great explorers delving into the realms of cranial electrodes and the physical world. But the Discovery of Pakistan by Pakistanis has more metaphysical ingredients than the ingredients needed to make an Einstein. Before the acclaimed Mr Ahsan discovered Pakistan while moving from one jail to another during Zia-ul-Haq regime, another worthy explorer, Chaudhry Rahmat Ali, had discovered the ethnic, linguistic, and religious wirings of the odd bubble of modern history Pakistan. He coined the word and scribbled the philosophy around the time Allama Mohammad Iqbal discovered and pronounced the historic imperative for a separate Muslim homeland. Posted by: Fred 2008-03-14 |
