Colonialism And Democracy…

There are many questions that are in the air about the kind of suppression that comes in with colonialism in a post-modern world.. What the facts are and what political consequences come forth are all part of the big picture. Ashfaq Saleem Mirza has talked and analysed one of these influential questions and have presented a wide image over the matter in his book Falsafa-e-Nauabadiat Aur Jamhooriat (Colonialism And Democracy). A book review is in the daily Pakistan Today by Aamir Riaz, which is worth sharing…

Mughaltay Mubalghay…

Prof. Mubarak Haider’s new book ‘Mughaltay Mubalghay’ is now out and a current best-seller..

Tehzeebi Nargasiat (Civilisational Narcissism)…

There are times when you see people going around in a routine and notice a strange feeling of not being welcomed and appreciated if you disagree with the philosophy of the ‘masses’, and you feel alienated in your land and among your own friends for what you are… At times, there are situations when you see that behaviours that sprout out of such societies are self-centered, focusing on keeping the social function of a particular mind-set as the ‘default’ mode. That is the time when you best refer to the term ‘Civilisational Narcissism’ for the society deeply drowned in self-appraisal and ‘piety’ as an overrated-must-have. Prof. Mubarak Haider, a renowned scholar and critic, has rightly discussed the current situation of Muslim downfall and has held the narcissistic behaviour hidden in the mind-set and norms to be responsible for a stagnant state of society. And a consistent argument has been provided in the book. The book can rightly be called a best-seller, both nationally and internationally.

Memoirs Of A Cyberspace Clerk…

Very few of the writers are capable of producing a work dynamic enough to give the feeling to their readers that they manage to captivate, and thus meaningfully change the way they look at the world… Prof. Mirza Ather Baig has successfully acquired the status of being one of these ‘visionary’ writers. Here is a review by Arif Waqar on his second and latest novel ‘Sifr Se Aik Tak: Cyberspace ke munshi ki Sarguzasht’ (Memoirs Of A Cyberspace Clerk) (as published in Daily The News; September 12, 2010)…

Ghulam Bagh…

Scientists Are Human…

Scientists Are Human: The Humurous Side Of Science by Shuja Alhaq is a well thought and an incredible book of its kind that talks of the life of our most admired and favourite scientists, except that it’s not a conventional biography, but a very humurous one that explicates the fascinating side of scientists, who are just as ‘human’ as we are and make errors so silly that you are inclined to say “wtf?”. Here’s a book review by Basharat Hussain Qizilbash.
