'Twelvth of February' by Rhonda Gossen.

'The Twelfth of February' addresses a problem that is all too timely: given violent extremism’s devastating impact on development gains including women’s rights, security , and the elimination of gender-based violence, what is the future role for international development?

Pakistan has been a priority country for international development assistance since the early years of its creation. Though Pakistan celebrates National Women’s Day on 12 February each year to commemorate the 1983 women’s march, three decades of war in neighbouring Afghanistan have stoked violent extremism and constrained development gains and gender equality. Canada led the first global efforts to support women’s rights and gender equality in the region.

'The Twelfth of February' tells the story of the Canadian International Development Agency’s support for women’s organizations and civil society in Pakistan. Rhonda Gossen traces the ebbs and flows of financial aid, drawing on her own unique experience as a development worker as well as compelling interviews with activists, non-governmental organizations, officials, and diplomats. She assesses how women’s organizations work to resist violent extremism and makes the connection between gender inequality and security threats in a volatile region. Despite the influence of Islamic extremism, the gender equality movement in collaboration with civil society in Pakistan did make tangible headway.

LISTEN! Dr. Manan Ahmed Asif, Associate Professor, at Columbia University is a historian of South Asia and the littoral western Indian Ocean world from 1000-1800 CE in conversation with author Maniza Naqvi about his book 'Disrupted City: Walking the Pathways of Memory and History in Lahore'.

Manan Ahmed's areas of specialization include intellectual history in South and Southeast Asia; critical philosophy of history, colonial and anti-colonial thought. He is interested in how modern and pre-modern historical narratives create understandings of places, communities, and intellectual genealogies for their readers.

He is a member of Columbia's Center for Study of Ethnicity and Race, Center for the Study of Muslim Societies, SOF/Heyman and Committee on Global Thought. He is a Senior Editor at Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East. He is on the Editorial Board for the journals Philological Encounters, South Asian Studies, and Al-'Usur Al-Wusta: The Journal of Middle East Medievalist.

His first monograph, A Book of Conquest: Chachnama and Muslim Origins in South Asia (Harvard University Press, 2016), is on the intellectual life of an early thirteenth-century history Chachnama. You can listen to two podcasts on the book--New Books and Ottoman History. There is also a book talk in Urdu.

His second monograph, The Loss of Hindustan: The Invention of India (Harvard University Press, 2020; pbk, 2023; Folio Books Pakistan, 2023) is a concept-history of “Hindustan,” focusing specifically on the work of the seventeenth century Deccan historian Firishta (fl. 1570-1620). The Loss of Hindustan was shortlisted for the Cundill History Prize 2021. An Arabic translation by Ayman Shehata Assal, Diyā Hindstan, came out in July 2022 from Al-Maktab Al-Arabe Lil-Maaref Egypt. You can listen to a podcast about the book with The Scroll India.

His third monograph, Disrupted City: Walking the Pathways of Memory and History in Lahore (The New Press, 2024) is a history of Pakistan’s cultural and intellectual capital, Lahore, and a meditation on textual and material histories of the place. It combines ethnography, oral histories and deep archival work, covering over a thousand years of this pivotal city. You can listen to a podcast about the book with New Books.

He is currently working on two book projects. The first A Subcontinental Parable is a study of hermeneutics on a set of texts from the thirteenth to the eighteenth century which defy genres (as conceived in modern scholarship) and which remain imbricated in nationalist history-writing projects. He is also conducting research on the history of Area Studies, Data Sciences and A.I. as knowledge system projects in the history of colonization and decolonization.

He has extensive background in digital history, in the history of archives in the global south and the problems of access and control to digitized materials. He founded Chapati Mystery--a cultural and intellectual history blog--in 2004. In 2018, he created and collaborated on "Torn Apart/Separados"--a digital platform of visualizations and essays which focused on the humanitarian crisis on the southwestern US borders. In 2022, he co-authored Targeted Harassment of Academics by Hindutva: A Twitter Analysis of the India-US Connection, a study focused on right-wing social media. He is now focused on community based archival projects in Harlem.

'An Archive of Pakistani Progressive Urdu Magazine Covers (1970s - Early 80s)' curated by Mansoor Raza

These are political sketches that were made for the covers of magazines. These weekly magazines of that age worth noting included Al Fateh, Nusrat and Lail ul Nehar.In Pakistan, the end of the 70s and the first part of the 80s, as in the rest of the world, were marked by populist politics, protests, trade union struggles and ideological writings. The Socialist point of view of the Leftist movement resonated with middle class youth and was a source of validation and encouragement. Through these movements they had the opportunity to challenge the stance of governments and of States which were typically based on the traditional economic interests of the ruling classes and establishments. پاکستان میں ۷۰ کے آخر اور۸۰ کی دہائی کا عہد، باقی دنیا کی طرح، پاپلسٹ سیاست اور احتجاج، ٹریڈ یونین کی جد و جہد اور سب سے بڑھ کر نظریاتی مورچہ بندیوں سے عبارت تھا۔ اشتراکی نظریے کے زیرِ اثر دائیں بازو کی تحریک متوسّط طبقے کے نو جوانوں کے لیے تقویت کا ذریعہ تھی کیونکہ اس تحریک سے انھیں مرکزی ریاستی بیانیوں کو چیلنج کرنے کا موقع ملتا تھا۔ یہ ریاستی بیانیے عام طور پر روایت، قدامت پسندی، اور انتظامی ضروریات پر مشتمل ہوتے تھے۔آج کے بر عکس، گزشتہ دَور میں پرنٹ میڈیا ہی اشاعت کا سب سے اہم وسیلہ تھا۔پارٹی کے نظریے سےملک کے قومی، مذہبی، اور معاشی مسائل پر بے لاگ تبصرے کرنا اُس دَور میں شائع ہونے والے رسالوں کا مقصد ہوتاتھا۔لینن اور ماؤ کے افکار سےمتاثر تحریریں اور سرخ انقلاب کے پیغام کے سبب یہ رسائل جلد ہی مارکسی نظریے کے حامل لوگوں میں مقبول ہوگئے۔اُس دور کے چند قابلِ ذکر رسالوں میں الفاتح، نصرت، اور لیل و نہار شامل ہیں۔ کم و بیش، یہ رسائل ہفتہ وار شائع ہوتے تھے اور ان کی قیمت پچاس پیسہ ہوتی تھی۔وحید بشیر جیسے انقلابیوں کے زیرِ ارادت شائع ہونے والے ان رسالوں کے لکھنے والوں میں فیض احمد فیض اور سبطِ حسن جیسے نابغۂ روزگار ادیب بھی شامل تھے۔
