Dr. Tahir Kamran, Head of the Department of Liberal Arts, SLASS, recently penned a blog post titled "Pakistan - 75 Beleaguered Years" for the London School of Economics and Political Science’s blog on South Asia.

Preview:

"Pakistan, in the words of its founding father Muhammad Ali Jinnah, would herald a modern, pluralist, Islamic nation-state. In this overarching post, Tahir Kamran argues that Jinnah’s untimely death in 1948, soon after the birth of Pakistan, led to the country passing into the hands of interest groups whose ultimate actions have defeated the original ‘idea’ of Pakistan."
