In the 2015-16 academic year the LSE SU Pakistan Development Society ran a ‘Breaking Stereotypes’ photo campaign which provided students and staff with a thought-provoking taster of the inclusive debate culture that the society seeks to encourage. In this post, Raza Nazar discusses the recurring themes that cropped up in the campaign, and how they will be incorporated in the LSE Future of Pakistan Conference in November.

Did you miss our "A Conversation With The Honourable Justice Ramday" in April? Here is Raza Nazar's commentary on Law, the Constitution & Minority Rights in Pakistan via LSE South Asia Centre.

Our prayers and condolences for those who lost their lives today in the deadly attack in Quetta. God bless their souls.

The Inter Services Public Relations (Military's media brand) believes this to be an effort by the terrorists to destabilise Baluchistan after suffering heavy defeats to the army in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and sabotage China Pakistan Economic Corridor, one of the biggest developmental projects of the country to date.

Here's to hoping terrorists are removed from all parts of the nation and Pakistan continues to prosper!

The history project, an education based development programme that teaches Pakistani students various perspectives on history and promotes critical thinking on historical narratives features at the LSE South Asia Centre. The country needs more development oriented projects like these. A brilliant initiative!
