Inside Story about Musharraf-Mahmood Tussle
Hassan Abbas: September 24, 2006

General Pervez Musharraf’s memoir In the Line of Fire is expected to generate a lot of debate and discussion in the days to come. Except some western journalists and Musharraf’s close friends (three ghost writers) hardly anyone has had a chance yet to read the book from cover to cover. The excerpts of the book leaked through Indian media and General Musharraf’s statements to some American media outlets however have already created some controversies. In the United States, controversy is considered a positive thing, so the book is bound to become a bestseller here, but in Pakistan probably the opposite is true.

This article is not a review of the book (as I haven’t got hold of a copy yet), but it endeavors to throw some light on the widely reported Musharraf comment about the Armitage threat conveyed through Lieutenant General Mahmood Ahmed, the then Director General of the ISI.

The Mind of the Mullah: Understanding the Fall of Dhaka

SECOND OPINION: Wrangling witnesses of Fall of Dhaka —Khaled Ahmed’s TV Review

General Umar was more upset than he should have been. His reference to his own piety was not appropriate. The first thing is to decide about coming to the programme. Once you decide to face it then be prepared to face the questions without getting hot under the collar

Even that period passed and now those who say that India broke Pakistan up are increasingly on the defensive. Even the generals have started disagreeing.

GEO (December 2005) in his Jawadeh programme Iftikhar Ahmad grilled Major-General (retd) Ghulam Umar on the Fall of Dhaka. Gen …

ARTICLE: Writing and selling books in Pakistan
By Khawaja Mustafa: Dawn, June 10, 2007

Authoring a book is an intellectual and scholarly pursuit. Authors not only contribute enormously to the development of society as a whole, but also towards the artistic, cultural, literary and historical constituents of a society. Books play a significant role in the social and economic uplift of people. They define and redefine the national psyche and sentiment while reinforcing a sense of belongingness to one’s land, history and culture, inculcating a universal sense of collectivism and national ethos. They provide insightful knowledge regarding anything and everything under the sun.

Considering the power of the written word, authors belonging to developed countries are remunerated suitably well for their writing, however, with the exception of a few very well-known and widely-read authors, writers in our country are not paid adequately.

Dr Jalaluddin Haider, in his article titled ‘Book trade in Paki…
