Once you scratch the surface of the Taliban's propaganda, there is nothing at all "traditional" or "national" about their movement. The Taliban is an utterly modern movement, mostly based on 20th-century political ideas and foreign religious teachings. 1/11

"Pakistani nationals were also kept below deck, with crew members maltreating them when they appeared in search of fresh water or tried to escape" this story makes you want to weep theguardian.com/world/2023/jun…

Rosita Armytage’s ‘Big Capital in an Unequal World: the Micropolitics of Wealth in Pakistan’ is worth reading to learn about the specific behaviour of Pakistan’s elites in terms of consolidating wealth & keeping others out - available in local bookstores in paperback:

Championing 'the cause of civil liberties' is precisely why he's been abducted. The military has never tolerated dissent. What it wants is the freedom to act with impunity against all who speak against it. The victims may change, the logic does not.

The abduction of Nasir - who strongly criticised the campaign of enforced disappearances targeting PTI, but spoke equally vehemently during Imran Khan's tenure as PM - appears to point to a widening of the the military's crackdown on dissent to those not affiliated w/ the party.

If you look at family links, connections, and partnerships, you'll be amazed at how much the current political instability, in some ways, is also a struggle among Lahore's elite.

You don't have to be a supporter of Imran Khan to oppose the witch-hunt, the coup, the violent arrest, the crushing of protests, and military deployment. There's an easy way to settle this and to end the protests. Elections.

Chap strength lies in its profound examination of colonial political economy, & how the first group of business elite merged & flourished by linking merchant economies with the British war effort while also establishing relations with Indian Muslim traders & professionals. 3/

Excellent research work by @PakRosi on the discourse of elite capture and elite networking in Pakistan. Very insightful for those who want to understand the structural imbalance between haves and have-nots at the micro level.
