@Umairiology Not a fan of the way he’s dressed but when you attend meetings of this level, you realize how you’re dressed doesn’t really bother diplomats/dignitaries (could be an exception if you’ve gone out of your way to embarrass yourself). The face is prolly a reaction to the question.

Before cardio: Feel like shit. Maybe I should skip.

After cardio: Holy crap. Insane energy. I feel like crushing 1000 tasks. Life is great!

[Maryam Awan @maryam680]

@navift I did! I liked how difficult topics were dealt with in a super simple way, wasn’t overwhelming at all. I’d missed that sort of simplicity in books.

[Maryam Awan @maryam680]

Finished this by @navift in literally half a day. Looking forward to reading more Pakistani authors now!

The renewed debate over new provinces and administrative units rests on a flawed assumption: that Pakistan's governance failures stem from provinces being too large or too few.

They do not.

Pakistan's core problem is not administrative geography but political economy. Access to the state and proximity to power have become valuable economic assets, generating patronage, privileges, and rents. Competing elite networks—political, bureaucratic, business, and military—contest control of these resources, while ordinary citizens bear the costs through weak services, fiscal strain, and stagnant growth.

Creating new provinces does not change these incentives. It simply creates more offices, more bureaucracies, and more opportunities for patronage within the same system. Redrawing boundaries may alter who benefits from state power, but it does little to transform how that power is exercised.

The more revealing question is why this issue is being prioritised now. Pakistan faces far more pressing challenges: weak state capacity, poor public-service delivery, fiscal stress, and a stagnant economy. Yet the political conversation is increasingly focused on maps rather than institutions.

That is because administrative reorganisation offers the appearance of structural reform without confronting the interests that underpin the status quo. It is easier to debate new provinces than to empower local governments, reform the civil service, broaden the tax base, strengthen accountability, or tackle entrenched systems of privilege and extraction.

Pakistan's crisis is not a cartographic one. Until the incentives that shape the country's political economy are addressed, multiplying administrative units will remain a political power games exercise rather than a governance solution.
