The Karachi university administration is totally failed. It has rained last week and even the university has been close for the past four days but no measures have been taken to dry up the water from the departments. Students are suffering like hell.

The Department of History, University of Karachi in collaboration with the Pakistan Historical Society, is proud to host a distinguished national conference:
“The State of History and Historiography in Pakistan”

In this forgotten stretch of Balochistan, where addiction is chronic and infrastructure lacking, a class of 49 students is defying the odds one lesson at a time. My latest piece for @dawn_com https://t.co/sozRbsOAqN
I shall think of you at sunset, and at sunrise, again; and at noon, and forenoon, and afternoon, and always, and evermore, till this heart stops beating and is still.

Letter to Susan Gilbert
The philosophy of Gandhism believes in Ahimsa which advocates for peaceful resistance.
Peaceful resistance does even exist in today's world?
Just wondering!🤔
The patient got her first injection yesterday. The next dose is on 27 April. I could raise some donation but need more to help her in the next round. A small donation can work wonders. Thank you.

Our blood has become our ink, writing stories the world refuses to read. The lost children of Balochistan live on as memories—aching, yet beautiful. Mothers wait endlessly, hoping for a miracle, but some find closure only in the sight of bullet-ridden bodies, covered in dust and gunpowder.
I as a writer and journalist lost in these chaotic times. What is happening to us? When will it end? Will we ever see our brothers again? Or is it now our turn to vanish, as if we never existed?
I have searched everywhere for answers, but silence is all I find. So, I write to Ustad @mmatalpur —not just as a mentor, but as my last refuge. He has witnessed this before—not just his friends, but generations of young Baloch taken, erased. I turn to him, searching for answers, for a way forward—because our blood is our ink, and our resistance is our story.

Studying history will sometimes DISTURB you.
Studying history will sometimes UPSET you.
Studying history will sometimes make you FURIOUS.
If studying history always makes you feel proud and happy, you probably aren't studying history. #Blackhistorymonth

Normally, one is accustomed to the sight of people on the streets of Balochistan chanting slogans for justice. And on the eve of Jan 22, people raised the same slogans demanding justice, but this time for books. A video on social media depicted female and male students from Gwadar University holding posters that read “Release Our Books”, “Books Want Justice” and “Don’t Put Books in Prisons.” An appropriate reaction to the Gwadar police’s raid of a book stall organised by the BSAC, the previous day.
