Salaam, unsure if this is the right bowl, but does anyone have any recommendations on books that discuss the history of Pakistan? It’s formation, etc. Thanks

Haven’t come across good books on formation itself. But You can look at Pakistans history from multiple perspectives (political, social, military, etc.). here’s a few good books Ive read
1. Jinnah by Stanley Wolpert
2. The vanguard of the Islamic revolution - it’s on Jamaat e Islami one of the oldest political parties (founder was against Pakistan’s creation but is still a revered Islamic scholar)
3. The murder of history by K K Aziz - excellent book on the factually incorrect info contained in Pak Studies books taught in schools

Have a few recommendations on books related to the military as well if you’d be interested in those

M1 - my opinion on JI is closer to yours (maybe not as harsh) but the fact remains that they are the only major party that is truly Democratic. They have internal elections to pick a leader every few years.
That said a few reasons to dislike them include:
1. Always bent over backwards for military dictators
2. Praised hakimullah mehsud (TTP) as a shaheed
3. Violent student wings
4. A founder who whole heartedly hated Jinnah and everything he stood for

I am going to share a link for the remade Pakistani consultants bowl: https://joinfishbowl.com/bowl_1fvsf

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures. Key word: TRY. I understand it’s not for everyone but to have never even attempted seeking therapy is a injustice to yourself and the people around you.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
