Pakistan: Why death is not a tragedy anymore?

Pakistan: Why death is not a tragedy anymore?
By Adil Zareef
Khaled Husseini’s depiction of traumatic times under the Mujahideen and Taliban, in his celebrated novels; the suffering ignored by the civilized world is unnerving. Most Pakistanis dismissed this as an exaggeration, even a holy retribution for sins of the Afghans! This callousness was also in play during the horrendous Balochistan military operation under Musharraf, for “development” and establishment of cantonments, of course!
