    Zia’s hand in recent events, however, cannot be dismissed for obvious reasons. Her bitter political rivalry with Hasina stretches back over two decades and Zia led the opposition boycott of the 2014 election for fears of rigging. Hasina, who therefore cakewalked to victory, thinks Zia is now trying to discredit her government and blames the BNP for “supporting terrorism and launching killing sprees across…

    Upon his entry he was placed as assistant cook, a far from glorious position. However he managed to rise through the ranks. He became a Corporal in 1948 and was stationed in Burma, Somalia, and Kenya. This was during the British situation in Kenya that was referred to as the Mau Mau revolt. The Mau Mau gunmen were a secret society of rebels which aimed to over throw the British rule in Africa, and they spared no bloodshed in this attempt. Sadly the blood spilled was mostly of their own African countrymen. According to Times Magazine, “…only 32 Europeans died, while almost 2,000 Kikuyu loyal to the British crown were murdered before the colonial government regained control.”( Idi Amin Killer File)…

    The Soviet Afghan War

    From 1933 to 1973 Afghanistan was ruled by Mohammed Zahir Shah. The Shah ruled the country during a period of relative peace and led Afghanistan into its first attempt at modernization after the Second World War. In July 1973 Zahir Shah’s forty-year reign came to an abrupt end when his former Prime Minister Mohammed Daoud Khan led a non-violent coup and seized power of Afghanistan for himself. Daoud eliminated the monarchial system in Afghanistan and established a republic naming himself as the new President of the country. Daoud began to make politicians in the USSR nervous by disintegrating some of Afghanistan’s dependence on the Soviet Union and promoting new western alliances. During his rule Daoud eliminated all communists from the cabinet and began legislation to ban communist parties in Afghanistan. Daoud’s decisions made the communist element in his country uneasy and he was the target of a coup five years into his own rule in April 1978. Many of military officers that helped Daoud in his coup against the Shah were the same that killed the President and most of his family. The military had now aligned itself with a Soviet influenced party that would lead the country into civil war, the Marxist People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan or PDPA.…

    Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto assumed control of Pakistan in the aftermath of the debacle that was 1971: the State of Pakistan had lost more than half of its population and a major source of revenue to a secessionist movement, its army was humiliated with almost ninety-three thousand prisoners of war in hostile Indian custody, and the economy was in complete turmoil. Bhutto’s rallying cry of ‘Roti, Kapra, Makaan’ had allowed him to win the majority seats in West Pakistan in the elections of 1970, and with the secession of East Pakistan in 1971, the path to the presidency was clear. Certain historians and political analysts have credited Bhutto with pulling Pakistan through the darkest period of its history, but in ‘Signposts to a Police State’, Eqbal Ahmad, argues that Bhutto might have done more damage to Pakistan than good. To support this claim he draws attention towards personality flaws of the man himself which resulted in certain damaging policy decisions. In addition to this, Eqbal also shows how the balance of power within the country was shifting in the military’s favor, partial responsibility of which he places on Bhutto. ‘Signposts to a Police State’ is then a critique of Bhutto’s policies in the period 1972-1974, based on which Eqbal attempts to give a prognosis of the direction in which Pakistan was headed politically.…

    Muhammad Asad (formerly Leopold Weiss) (1900–1992), was an Austrian Polish Jew who converted to Islam, and a 20th century journalist, traveler, writer, social critic, linguist, thinker, reformer, diplomat, political theorist, translator and scholar. Asad was one of the 20th century's most influential European Muslims. He spent several years in Saudi Arabia, where he befriended the royal family, and then moved on to British India and lived mainly in Lahore, Abbottabad, Srinagar and Dalhousie. Upon a suggestion of Allama Iqbal, he translated selections from Sahih Bukhari Sharif into English, the first such translation ever made. He wrote and spoke extensively on the subject of Islam and its conception of state and government and West’s relations with Islam. He was particularly fascinated with the idea of Pakistan as a symbol of rejuvenation of the Islamic world. During the Great War the British interned him as enemy citizen. Upon independence he moved to Pakistan where he was picked up for the Foreign Service and served at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and at the Pakistan Mission to UN in New York, a job he resigned in 1952. He wrote several books most notable of which is ‘The Road to Makkah’ and the English translation of the Holy Quran. Today Pakistan has forgotten this ‘intellectual co-founder of Pakistan.’…
