Pakistan’s students must be freed from rote learning to embrace curiosity, ethics and the power of social science

Indians face the same conundrums in their daily lives and have the same pot holes to wake up to. They do not hate us.

In the rat race for grades, internships and MUN invitations, students have lost out on the meaning of education.

Closett knew his race was terrible; full of deceit and trickery. But what had become of the other specie?

Why teach in a society like Pakistan’s? Because the very fabric of our society is threatened by obscurantist elements.

“You have seen India, my foot! Woman of no worth,” she yelled. Nani suffered from a cancerous tumour on her tongue.

Imagine yourself as a child from the rural areas of Kashmir, Punjab, Balochistan or Sindh and then thank the heavens.

Corruption. Greed. Ignorance. Sindh is rotting from within, and remains one of the most backward provinces.

Democracy will bring disaster for the old elite; the old guard, the Edmund Burkes of Egypt and the military itself.

What PTI still needs to do is rally itself more around popular and leftist goals and do more for the common man.
