Sadiq Gill - Let there BE NO Question

   Professor Sadiq A. Gill was one of the last true Pakistanis.  When I say this I say it in the spiritual sense.  From his position within society, he could see that in the aftermath of the West-East Pakistan war debacle, Pakistan was not really about what had been intended.  A peaceful democratic society where peoples of all type could live and flourish.  What became apparent after the war was that Pakistan was no different than any other Asian banana republic.  The power was given to those who were in control and who were wealthy.  What was supposed to be a secular society hugged religion when it was to their benefit and brutally attacked it when it was a detriment.

   And so, Sadiq A. Gill sought to reform and change and yes, he was an anarchist in only the best sense of the word.
