PAKISTAN LOST: Ideas on the Idea of Pakistan by Shehzad Ghias

The New Consensus by Shehzad Ghias Shaikh transforms the dynamic debates of Pakistan’s leading podcaster into a deeply researched, intellectually charged exploration of Pakistan’s political and historical landscape. Known for his fearless discourse, Shehzad brings his bold, analytical voice to print, unpacking the layers of Pakistan’s identity and governance with rare clarity.

Through incisive commentary, The New Consensus examines critical issues like federalism, the Lahore Resolution’s forgotten promises, minority rights, language politics, civil-military relations, and the recurring constitutional crises that have shaped the nation. It’s not just a historical reflection but a call to reimagine Pakistan’s trajectory through an inclusive and progressive lens.

Endorsed by intellectual heavyweights like Mohammad Waseem, Pervez Hoodbhoy, and Nadeem Farooq Paracha, The New Consensus stands as a vital contribution to understanding Pakistan’s past — and reclaiming its future.
