Tariq Ali probably did as much for Pakistan as Liverpool FC and Beatles did for

Liverpool. Believe you me, a lot less talented individuals made a lot more by serving the

system.Unlike B Bhutto, he remained loyal to the cause and you should be proud of him.

@ahsan53i Yeah..Tariq openly says things like:

1. Jinnah ate pork and was a non-practicing muslim.

2. Pakistan is a dysfunctional State.

3. Army interventions have ruined the country.

4.Muslim League played along with the british and had no part in Indian freedom struggle.

Of course its the Indians writing the negative Comments!......LMAO!!

Jaahil Paki!

[ahsan53i]

most of the comments against him comes from indians because he is a pakistani.

namaloum got pwned

Dear Pache, Your politeness & objectivity is valued.

Every Pakistani is afflicted with some sort of internal or external cancerous sour.

What's the major cause of this morbid condition? What's the antidote and who has,is or will prescribe it?

I dont' think writing books in a non-native language and lecturing in foreign lands to a majority of foreigners or to be non-Pakistanis could make an iota of difference in saving a nation from the fall.

I'm looking for the first step needed to survive

Mr namaloum

I agree that it would be better if Pakistanis had stayed in Pakistan instead of going to Britain. I can tell you that most of the British feel the same, but probably for slightly different reasons. The truth is that British people didn't want millions of Pakistanis living in their country but they weren't given the choice. They have been colonised just as India was. However the difference is that if they resist that colonialisation, they are called racists. How strange.

[namaloum]

Tell us one worthwhile concrete contribution you have made for Pakistan.

How does getting prizes for verbose, entertaining,mentally amusing books affect the situation in Pakistan.

Why after getting independence from the British Rule;these guys left their new homeland and willfully went back to their Master.
