we can quibble all you want about whether his interpretation of the history of Pakistan is correct or not and what he has missed or added unnecessarily – and, no matter what our own interpretation may be, rest assured that there are many who would quibble with our interpretation too.
That is the nature of our history; and the nature of us.
But this telling of our history by a common Pakistani is worth a listen; if only because it forces us to look back at the same history ourselves. It is always important to get history right. But it is always more important to remain in conversation with one’s history. To learn what our pasts mean for our present and our futures; even as those lessons keep changing with time.
very important to understand how a common man views the history of Pakistan. We have to educate these people so that they can come up and speak on media of what is in their hearts and how to fight extremism from our country.
What I find interesting is really that “jo bhi aaya, us nay loot ka khaya!”
Peace brother!
Fascinating video. Great find.
The history may be incomplete, but there is also much there that many of us have forgotten.
Interesting that he seems to be favorable both to BB and to Musharraf :-)
