Salman Rashid on Pakistan's Heritage | India Pakistan Partition Blues | Cultural Shifts

Описание: Renowned travel writer and historian Salman Rashid sits down with MukhbirNama to explore Pakistan’s rich culture, history, and current challenges. We start by delving into the roots of Pakistan's current state of affairs, tracing back to the Zia-ul-Haq era, and pay tribute to the great Khalid Ahmed. Salman Rashid sheds light on critical topics like the caste system in Pakistan and how the so-called Ghazwa-e-Hind seems to target Pakistan itself.

We question whether Narendra Modi’s politics are fostering hate between India and Pakistan and discuss why Ganga Ram Ji should be celebrated as the Mohsin-e-Punjab. Salman shares a touching story of a Pakistani fisherman in India and reflects on global misconceptions about Pakistan and their impact on the nation's image.

Has Pakistan's culture changed over time? Salman explains how an “Islamic touch” is creeping into every aspect of life in the country. We revisit the reasons behind the Partition and hear his account of shocking experiences in Pakistan. Salman also discusses whether Pakistan has preserved its heritage as well as India and narrates a poignant tale about the naming of the Partition year and the misunderstandings that persist between India and Pakistan.

Salman Rashid shares his favorite location in India and laments how his generation failed Pakistan. He offers a heartfelt message to the youth of India while discussing the importance of significant Hindu monuments like Shiv Ka Ansoo and Shiv Ka Namak in Pakistan. He highlights future tourist destinations such as naturally formed lakes in Sindh and the coast of Makran. We then reflect on Alexander the Great’s presence in India, his descendants, and Chandragupta Maurya’s role in Alexander’s army.

The podcast takes a historical turn as we delve into the origins of Lahore’s name and its history, discuss the legacy of Ahmed Shah Abdali and Maharaja Ranjeet Singh, and hear Salman’s critical views on the role of Punjabis in Pakistan's story. This episode is a deep dive into Pakistan's past, present, and future, offering historical insights and cultural reflections from one of the country’s most respected voices.
