Journalist, author, analyst. If you want to understand militancy in Pakistan, then Zahid Hussain's framework is a must-read for you! Celebrating him as an icon in our heroes series.

Womens Action Forum walked so Aurat March could run. You cannot write the history of feminist resistance in Pakistan without WAF!All of them are heroes of Pakistan <3

Doing this podcast for a few years has given me new found respect for the work Pervez Hoodbhoy has put in over the decades to fight dogma, superstition, and irrationality in Pakistan.A true Pakistani hero.#78years78heroes
