Articles by Sajid Huq:Musharraf's Moment of Truth 31 July 2007 "The Lal Masjid crisis is by no means a break from a recent history of religious militantism and extremism in Pakistan. Musharraf’s military response to the situation certainly is. However Musharraf deals with the extremists, it is clear that his days are numbered. And whoever succeeds Musharraf may have no choice but to continue his recently-adopted heavy-handed tactics in dealing with militants, fueling violent Islam even further." Present’s Trespass on South Asian Pasts "Textbook history writing is as much a project of nation-building as it is of educating... There are politics involved with not just how histories are revised, and stories retold, but also in the politics of mention: what gets mentioned and what omitted." |
