Excellent piece as always Kathy. I first heard this - 'We look back to look forward' - from the late economist Eric Rahim when I asked him why we should commemorate the 1950s student movement in Pakistan than my father led, which Uncle Eric was also an informal advisor to.

I love the humanism, clarity, and holistic-ness of your writing.

Kathy another brilliant bit of Journalism. I have watched with alarm as my twitter feed is filled with news of turmoil in Pakistan. It is so hard to find truth with so many people posting nonsense on Elon Musks conspiracy site

Indeed very objective analysis ! Pakistan and Afghanistan are neighbors with decades history of animosity and bitter relations. Let's hope that sanity will prevail .
