His family at one point tried to collect all his work. He had a dream to open a university called Khaldunia in Pakistan. It ended up being a school opened by his neice. Dr Parvez hoodbhoy the scientist is related to him by marriage and the closest we have to bring a successor. Or was at least.

It was in another era. I barely remember a lot of it. But he was definitely a major influence on how I look at the world. Still is. I wish more in Pakistan were influenced by him the current generation doesn’t even know about him

Equal Sahab was the foremost decolonisation scholar of our time. The Pakistani Edward Said who he knew personally. I had the honour meeting him and speaking to him many times. Extremely humble person. There is no one who can replace him.

2023 tweet; still valid.

Global North academics repeat after me:
Since I did not raise objections to the genocide, I shall not teach courses on decolonisation, decoloniality, post-genocide literatures from Palestine or other cognate ‘radical’ courses that advance my career & help me procure grants.

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

I wish Darlymple would ask ordinary Pakistanis and Indians how partition has affected us. He may be a historian but he is an elite one now disconnected from present contemporary reality.
