Being a lums graduate myself who always saw the inequality of resources and networks even within the uni and other unis as well, I'm proud of you my man for bringing this up in a coherent and articulate manner
I am an Indian and about 10 years back when i was doing my MBA from ISB, we had a few students from LUMS who came on an exchange prog. Honestly we were shocked with how far behind these guys were in their academic prowess. They never scored even average grades. I now get why true talent never gets recognised in pakistan. Sad.
@@worldgeography2229 to be honest some of them are really smart, but the smart ones are always those who exited pakistan decades ago and are basically american or british
Well, its not quite true. I've been researching Pak-India relations for 2 years. But when it comes to Indians, I found them very irrational and proudly where they've fantasized that Indian soldiers have somehow superpowers and Pak is Bhikari etc. And surprisingly, where Israelis themselves don't bother to defend themselves, Indians find it their moral duty to support Israelis and abuse Muslims.
India Pakistan ever had exchange program?😳
@@worldgeography2229 cause smart ones are either butchered or they leave the country.
@@worldgeography2229 what talent would you expect from a country where landlords killed a French Phd holder teaching in IBA Karachi just over a feudal fight? Where son of an elite killed a middle class ACCA medalist. Where a qualified professor is kicked out and immediately hired by Harvard? Where even the noble prize winner was not appreciated.
I’m a teacher and I have a student who learnt game development from YT out of interest. He is just 13. His parents are forcing him to go in military. People will watch 3 idiots but not learn any lesson.
Circumstances and opportunities matter a lot in making you genius. Even I had to take additional courses online to make my math foundation to be admitted to a foreign university.
I’m sorry, revolutionists are afraid of being born here.
Good to see this brave attempt. Even better that you reviewed a book this time. Thank you.
🙌
What she have said is a tip of the iceberg. Its a must must read. Thanks for the video.

"Elites" a generation which funded movement of Pakistan and hired a lawyer from London who did not speak Urdu nor did a namaz, enjoyed sipping whisky smoking cigar. Jiski Lathi Uski Bail,
When I read Dr Stephen Lyon in the acknowledgment section, I immediately knew that Dr Rosita knows the depths of this topic.
Man keep doing it. Repetition will open mind of these frogs of wells. Keep up the Good work. Heard something worth watching after a long time on social media. Cheers
🙌
Very genuine and very very informative! I’m so glad I clicked this. More power to you!
MY GRAND FATHER WAS ENGINEER LIKE MY DAD,HE WAS GIVEN THE TITLE OF "SIR" FOR HIS WORK , HE WORKED WITH SIR GANGA RAM. AND I HAVE NO REGRETS, BUT I WILL TAKE MY AVENGE.
The days we are seeing today is because of these elites. And they are not ready to learn. They are simply incorrigible!
To safe guard the Zamindari system, Jinnah wanted a separate country. India moved on with New Land Reform and abolished Zamindari System by 1951. We can see the outcome of this two System.
Every one of us is against these elites but deep inside wish to be the part of this circle. Everyone is agianst the illegal & immoral practice of law but deep inside practices the same / wish to practice. Unless and untill we don't deal with our psychological biases we can't break the chain. You are doing the best from your side but this nation has lost senses & consiousness to unchain their selves from elites(parasites).
Damnn
- Colonialism never left us. Bas sirf chamri ka rang tabdeel hua hai.
- Hum idhar (DHAs and Bahrias) aour tum udhar (Slums and Ghettos) ka naara aaj bhi relevant hai har roz ki zandagi main.
- The Cover of the Book says it all.
Thanks Shahzad Bhai.
May ALLAH Bless you
Bahrias means ?
@@anuragpatil4073Bahria Town search karlo.
@@anuragpatil4073 'Baharia town' is a high profile area of elites in Islamabad.
I think pakistani people need to stop beleving india and pakistan have same issues. We do not have the same issues. If we were simmilar, india would also be a failed state like pakistan.
Its two nation theory
1.elite nation
2.poor nation
Jinnah's 'TWO NATION THEORY' has failed successfully in 1971.
When you first uploaded the book name, it intrigued me a lot and got the book Alhmdulillah!!!
India also have big business families.
But they have contributed in building the nation, from every day items to cars and military equipment
that is true of every country. look at wealth inquality stats. India is far worse.
Very educative and informative shehzad bhai. Keep it up.
Malabar Hill and Nariman Point used to be like this till 10 plus years back until true democratisation happened
Nice to see you r doing book reviews
I bought this book two months ago unfortunately yet to give it a read. I will surely finish it as soon as possible because it seems very interesting.
Bravo bro,
It takes courage to choose some sensible and sensitive issues like this. I say we need more educated people to come to terms even to listen to this type of material.
Amazing I miss Many Books which you interviews last Personalities Podcast like "HH" books and "Dr ishtiaq" and this "Dr Rosita Armyage book" not found here in PAK thanks for This

Brilliant podcast . I love your style of topic selection & presentation.
my Q is why awam of Pakistan full of talent & passion (Zazbah) can not REVOLT when 70% of Banking, insurance & industrial assets are owned by 22 families
Bcoz they have been drugged in the name of islam
🙌
They have the army to protect them Sir
Nice way of trolling.😉
Sorry to break your troll but that’s beCause no one wants to ride Vigo.
I hope you don’t get that ride in India.
Perfect description of two nations theory.
Very true indeed
Very good analysis

sir,,, amazing
Excellent vlog 👍
Thank God India went thru land reforms soon after independence and Manmohan's opening of the economy, resulting in a very strong middle class today.
Zabardast
Yehi wo log hain jo sabse pehle Pakistan se baher bhag jayenge jab country Sudan ki tarah destabilize hone lagega.

From Rudyard Kippling's "The White Man's Burden" to "Elite Man's Burden"
It's good to see history from different perspectives.
While it is true that in 50s, 60s a selected group was enjoying most of the benefits, but it's also true that growth happened and there was investment in new technologies and industrialisation. With nationalisation and resulting mismanagement, these industries didn't grow anymore or even ran into big losses, and there was no investment in new technologies, thus today these organisations have become redundant. One shouldn't forget that one has to grow first in order to redistribute later. BTW you skipped Zia, howcome there wasn't a privatisation drive under him ??? Who were the beneficiaries?? so things are not as clear-cut as being put. In social democratic countries, redistribution of wealth is done by taxation of the elites. Talking of taxation, the biggest economic sector of agriculture, doesn't pay taxes. Also, there were no REAL land reforms in Z.A Bhutto times. So was nationalisation really about social justice, or was it about targeting certain people in a power play...so a much more nuisanced approach is required if one wants to learn from history..
Yeah .. nuisanced... really
@@parag1210
Ofcourse only if one wants something positive to come out from it
amazing
Janaab kitni videos daalain ge. Kahin burn out na ho jaayen!
Love your content and work
❤
It is well known fact for the last 70 years,, my grandfather and my father talked about that for years. She wrote about something that may surprise you but not the masses.
Good overview
🙌
Very well explained thank you plz make videos on real history of Pakistan?
A big business Muslim family from Bombay didn't migrated to P@kistan "Azim Hasan Premji's" family. If possible please make a video about this family.
Thank you very much for your very informative and very interesting program
Very nice to know about the details
Gorey chaley gaiye aur brown masters have taken over
75 years have passed but you will not find any major changes
Elite class is still ruling over the country

Personally I am very much confused about the motives of Imran Khan
Is he really sincere
Or is he working on foreign agenda
Alien government in India is a veritable chameleon. Today it comes in the guise of the Englishman; tomorrow perhaps as some other foreigner; the next day, withoutabating a jot of its virulence, it may take the shape of our own countrymen. -- Rabindranath Tagore
I have read this Book 🔥
Likewise, I guess I am the only Pakistani with an allergy to elites. And maybe I am the only one born and raised abroad and still very much a Pakistani.
This guy is part of a new elite.
Too good... elites or cheats.. difficult to decide
In India🇮🇳 too.
Shehzad Bhai buht hi tragic aur interesting.
10:07 mjhay samjh nhi ai k ZAB na jb nationalise ker dia. Tou us nationalisation ko BB na q disown ker dia tha?
Yani elite capture ka wo bh hissa bni thin?
Ya ZAB (jamhoori marshal law administrator) ki trha sb kch hathya gae thy? Jisay bb na accept ker k wapas denationalise kia
Pakistan just about any country needs a French or Mao revolution that comes from within, not from kids eating McDonalds ice cream asking for revolution but garmi mein kharab honay ka darr.
Shehzad bhai agar in Rosita sahiba se koi pehchan hai to book ko thodi affordable range me lane ko kahiye. Over 3000 rs on Amazon india, not affordable for most people. Thank you. Great review by the way
Thank you. I think it hasn't been printed in India yet, when that happens it'll be cheap to get in India.
U should know one thing he was there for his biometric when the rangers arrived to arrest him ,
He is not willing to surrender he is informing public from the day one ,unlike anyother leader who was lauched by establishment according to u . Nab has nothing to do with this arrest we all know so the intentions r v clear , thays why we need to protest against this so we can stop this cycle of power .
Otherwise this rotten system will continue like always
Two nation theory is mere manifestation of british divide and rule policy in context of subcontinent.

1. I hear a few interesting things about Pakistan. The "experts" are primarily "military" type.
2. They interpret everything in military terms.
3. "Elite" always dominates the public discourse including diplomacy. Famous leftist Bhutto was a core elite.
4. In spite of all perverted policies, Pakistan's economic performance was comparable to India's till 1990.
5. Javed Akhtar observed that unlike India (say Mumbai) Pakistani poverty is not visible to an ordinary visitor to say Lahore.
6. The poetry- Gazals- that we listen to do not make much mention of socio-economic conditions?
Can you throw some light please?
Yes till 4. Javed Akhtar stayed in a posh home and travelled with the elite.
pakistan from early 1960 to 1985 received billions of dollars aid from usa thats why pakistani economy performed well but all this money is not used for education and development of country all this money went in hands of army for purchasing militery hardware and building business empire of army. So in short as billions of dollars are being pumped into pakistani economy each year during these years but private sector didnot grew at all
Even as per lastest oxform report pakistani top 1 percent elite controls 24 percent whealth mean while indian top 1 percent elite owns 40 percent whealth thats why poorty is not visible in pak as in india but due to current economic crises this is changing now poor in paking is getting poor as nd poor and rich is becomming richer every day.
Dollar in last 5 years went from 115 pkr to 284 pkr and gold in last 3 years went from 50 thousand pkr to 2lakh pkr per tola.
Intrest rate in pakistan is above 20 percent
So rich in pakistan become 3 times richer in just 3 years meanwhile cars bikes and homes become unafforable for poor and lower middle class
True
Wow
the way you ended the video is very interesting, hehe!
Hello Shehzad, doing a wonderful job.
It would be amazing if you could invite interesting guests from across the border...... Shekhar Gupta, Tavleen Singh, Smita Prakash.
J Sai Deepak, Vikram Sampath and Sanjeev Sanyal have written interesting books recently.
Are you ready to fund for that? None of the above have to do with Pakistan.
@Football-Pundit J Sai Deepak is not historian but if you want to prove him wrong why don't you do with facts ? And talking about Vikram Sampat, what ever he has written in his books is well referenced and u can see that in his book at back
@@UndisclosedFacts Anyone who writes what these idiots dont like becomes mediocre. Ignore such scum.
@Football-Pundit hahah I can see the how j Sai Deepak is downplayed these days . I am regularly seeing these kind of comments but nobody provides any counter evidence to what they say it’s just are they are on the face of Muslims and antinationals, they can’t just handle him.
@Football-Pundit what is the bias of j Sai Deepak? Don't In India ,only temples pay taxes and not mosque churches? Don't waqf act 1995 gave power to waqf board to capture any land of India? Don't indian history books have overglorified invaders and shown them as heroes and giving a clean to their endless atrocities and gen0cides of Indian civilians? Whereas showing indian rulers as villains?
Where can i buy this book from?
Liberty Books.
And Amazon
@@ThePakistanExperience i am from lahore. Where can i buy it in lahore?
The main issue is higher education. Higher education is not for everybody. Most people require skills to get jobs. Academic education does not guarantee jobs. It is high time jobs are delinked from academic degrees.
aap neh serial “ The men who made America dekha “ ?
Hello shehzad i am a regular follower of your channel and i admire your work a lot . Recently i read tehmina durrani's book my feudal lord and it was heart breaking but now i found that she is married to shehbaz sharif. Is she also from this elite circle or fighting for a real cause . What's your take on it?
She is from an elite and well connected family too.
Ye engro waale bhi elite me aate hai kya, abhi portqasim ke paas ek polypropylene ka bda plant lgaane waale the, contract ek italian company ko diya tha.
Average salary there was gross salary there 20 lacs pkr per month for project manager in the year 2013 when 1 dollar was pegged with 120 Pakistani rupees,which is equivalent around 17000 dollars pm.....while a project manager at apple in USA was earning around 15000$ including all benefits.....and believe it or not ,that salary was not outliers by any means....just was little bit higher than median income at this particular position throughout the national scale....people call Pakistan a third world country, they are right no doubt but people here at middle management has beaten their American counter part from left right and center....Pakistan is in this situation coz Pakistani economy is not documented
Boss I just read the whole book last night and came to your video now. You've an efficient talent of summarizing key topics in a easy way. Great effort ❤

Department of Irrigation, not agriculture
Not all Gujarati Muslim families belonging to Saudi Vohras, memons, Ishmaelis and others left for Pakistan. Lots many left behind in Mumbai and Gujarat. Many got into legitimate business while many joined Daud gangs. India got worst of both world.
I really don't care now if Modi scraps Indus water treaty.Actually he has my blessing.
Nice to see an academic channel in Urdu.
Whereas the overview of the book is fine but as a Pakistani delving into the causes of things that happened in the first ten years will give a better a understanding.
From 1947-1957 the Pakistani government didn’t have many options. Jinnah insisted the muslim industrialists of Bombay to come to Pakistan to establish Industry. At the time of partition there were only 3 factories in geographical Pakistan. Some of these industrialist were promised monopoly in some sectors. You have highlighted that most projects housing etc were done in Karachi but you fail to mention that Karachi accounted for more than 70% of the economic output. It was also the Federal Capital thus deserving further investment.
Most of these guarantees were broken with nationalization of Bhutto and subsequent marginalization of the urdu speaking muhajirs - the group most responsible for the early decades of relative success of Pakistani Economy.
What muhajir get by going pakistan ?
Does pakistan muhajir bhave empire like wipro cipla lulu group and many more are founded by Indian muslim

WHEN MY FATHER TOOK RETIREMENT HE DID WORK FOR THEM FOR FEW YEARS, AND QUIT THE JOB WHEN THEY ASKED HIM, TO GIVE A REPORT THAT ALL WORK WAS DEFECTED TO SAVE "INCOME TAX", MY FATHER DID NOT LIKED TO WORK FOE "BECO" BECAUSE HIS "EGO" WAS TOO STRONG.
India was fortunate that it is too large to be captured by a small elite such as the Aitchison College gang (although we did have a Doon School elite that was very active in politics, and is still active in Media). A Stephens College/JNU/ Delhi University group still is active in the Congress and Leftist circles, but 8 years of Modi's rule has defanged them. But the effect of these groups was certainly significant in the first 40 years of independent India's history. Nowadays, no one gives a damn which school you studied in.
Yes
Sir Mr Jaishankar (EAM) and Nirmala Sitaraman (FM) are also products of JNU.😅

If sanskrit came from outside of India, then how come there are 4 million manuscripts most of them not translated yet, and almost none found outside of India. How come such a depth literature and philosophical work was produced more than a 1000 year ago ?
There must have been some cultural presence of that.
Pakistan British k baad aajad nahi hua ,balki bas charaha badal gya elite k Roop me ,jo ab Pakistani hi dekhta hai.
Pakistan need to get freedom
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
Some of the names you mentioned, of the old money families, are no longer as powerful as they used to be before 1971. Bhutto's nationalization ended their dominance.
