Struggling Generations: A timely discourse (From Punjab to USA) A Review of autobiography


Struggling Generations
A timely discourse
(From Punjab to USA) A Review of an autobiography 
The flux of this new literature will help future historians of Pakistan understand our political past and its strengths &  idiocentricities. It will contribute to the people’s history of Pakistan in many ways.
Today, ideological politics is an endangered species in Pakistan; the prime reason being the absence of serious dialogue and a desire to control things. Money and power will always be a part of society, however, what really matters is the reaction of the civil society to it.
Problems of intellectuals
At that time, Urdu writer Intizar Husain was a vibrant leader of reactionary religious fundamentalist lobby. After 9/11, intellectuals like Intizar had shifted their stands and stood against pukhtoon dominated Talibans but unlike popular politicians our intellectuals never ever accepted their past follies. This is a common practice and prevalent among inteligencia irrespective of ideology & faith. 

Polio & Manzur
Due to polio disease, he had problems in a leg since childhood but he faced the challenge and successfully converted it into opportunity. Life of Dr Manzur is a tested case in favor of inclusive education and he penned many odds but faced it with courage and commitment.
