Why is good news not good enough for Pakistanis?
[Dawn] Recently, I came across a few reports from the South Asia Terrorism Portal which offered an account of all the terrorist activities in South Asia this year. My focus was Pakistan, of course.The thing with good research is, in order to make sense of data, one needs to understand the setting in which it was extracted. For example, a solitary drop of water might mean nothing, but if we are in a desert, it means everything. Similarly, the state of terrorism in 2015 tells a woeful tale of human casualties. Even a single casualty is one too many, but in Pakistan, this could also mean a sharp decline. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-04-21 |
