Author Information:
Professor Waris Mir was a columnist for Daily Jang and a critic of military dictator General Zia ul Haq, for which he was removed from the chairmanship of the Mass Communication Department of the University in the 1980s. Proud to call himself a student with an open mind , Waris Mir had amalgamated historical orientation, international references and national situations in order to talk about issues pertaining to various sectors. These included the political chaos in Pakistan, the repeated military intervention by power hungry generals, uneasy relationship between the country's political and military leadership, ludicrous referendums of wanna-be presidents-cum-army chiefs, formation of the so-called security councils, rigged polls, sham democracy, suspension of the constitution and the like. Probably, the tragedy of the situation is not that the writings of Mir stopped to flow. If today he lived physically, he would be satisfied with the fact that at least he did not play with facts to misguide the new generation.
