In this episode, Sangar Paykhar speaks with Ahmad-Waleed Kakar, about his latest article exploring Pakistan’s deepening identity crisis. Triggered by Defence Minister Khawaja Asif’s remark calling Mahmud of Ghazni a “plunderer”, the discussion unpacks how Pakistan is renegotiating its relationship with the very historical figures that once shaped its ideological foundations.
Far more than a debate about medieval history, this conversation traces the crisis through Pakistan’s shifting national myths, the military’s search for legitimacy, and Islamabad’s evolving relationship with the Islamic Emirate in Kabul.
