Anwar Akhtar: The Meaning of Pakistan

Anwar Akhtar says British Pakistanis are uniquely placed to help Pakistan embrace its multicultural history and to create a prosperous and peaceful future with India.

Anwar Akhtar, Director of The Samosa, argues that Pakistan should think of itself as an Asian nation, not as an Arab one. And after years of working between Britain and Pakistan, he says British Pakistanis are uniquely placed to help Pakistan embrace its multicultural history - and to create a prosperous and peaceful future with India.
