Mudassar hails from northern Punjab of Pakistan and belongs to a family that has contributed to the politics, education and social development of the area. His diverse academic background ranges from a conventional style of schooling in a small city to the GCSE’s in a metropolis and further education in British universities. He is currently working for a semi-government development organization in Pakistan.
Mudassar feels that Pakistan’s image is falling prey to the growing polarization among its people, leading towards country’s stereotypical depiction influenced by the ideas stemming from either religious radicalism or liberal fascism.
A typical Pakistani does not relate to any of those extremes and his side of story is yet to be told.
