Making Sense out of Pak-US Created Mess - Radio Open Source with Christopher Lydon

In the context of Obama administration’s AfPak policy approach and day by day intensifying socio-political situation in Pakistan – some of the authors start calling Pakistan as International emergency. In this scenario on international level there is great urge from think-tanks to ordinary folks to understand not only the present situation in Pakistan but to learn about the 63 years history of this country and also the contributing factors that put Pakistan in this trap.

'Radio Open Source with Christopher Lydon’ started similar effort on international level to understand the problem and situation in Pakistan. Mr. Christopher Lydon is accomplished American broadcaster and veteran journalist. In his show he started series of talks with Pakistani authors, intellectuals, activists and other relevant people to understand the situation. Intended listeners of this show are international. I find this discourse very important and relevant for Pakistanis to educate themselves with the situation country is going through.

Some of talks in this series (each talk is 40 to 45 minutes long):
• Mohammed Hanif’s Af-Pak: A Case of Exploding Absurdities
• Najam Sethi: A Pakistani Prescription for Af-Pak Peace
• Pakistan 3.0: The "CIA Jihad" and the Whirlwind Today
• Daniyal Mueenuddin on Pakistan: At the Bedside of a Friend
• William Dalrymple: the Af-Pak Fiasco "on its last legs"
• This "Year of India" (6): What’s Wrong with our Afghan War
• This "Year of India" (5): … and the chronic crisis of Pakistan
• Pakistan for Beginners: 3, with Omer Alvie
