Politics, in pakistan and elsewhere – by erum haider. Batting against the odds. And then staring in shock, when they said she was dead. And so for the life of me I couldn’t understand why I was weeping. So why then be so insecure about the people, Bhuttos? Why not sell yourself to the middle class? Why spend less time with intellectuals from Pakistan and more with journalists and writers in the West? Why must we be so goddamn intellectual all the time? Bhutto democracy Pakistan women Islam terrorism.

E-Mail: tft@lhr.comsats.net.pk. The Davis case casts a long shadow over issues of foreign policy and security. It seems that Imran Khan has gotten his wish. A suitably ambiguous yet highly contentious issue? Check A slow and blundering civilian government? Davis’ case falls into a lowest-common-denominator agenda between parties on t...

Weekends home | bad poetry
https://erumhaider.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/weekends-home
Politics, in pakistan and elsewhere – by erum haider. Batting against the odds. Karachiites often, and often without irony, agonize about armpit hair in warzone-like situations.
