#MMCommunity Exchange: What is Federalism and Why Should Pakistanis Care?
Manage episode 287889246 series 2829045
Sounds like a big word, but what's its value outside of a poli-sci textbook? Ayesha Burney breaks it down for the 'average' Pakistani in our latest podcast. Tune in to understand what federalism means, in relation to the unitary identity forced upon Pakistan's diverse population, and the role it plays in reclaiming that diversity of people, culture and thought. In addition to being our MM Insta Wiz, Ayesha is a political science researcher with an MSc in the subject from the London School of Economics.

About Modern Mazameen: Have you ever felt like there’s a lack of content and platforms that really speak to our values and mindsets as young Pakistanis? We did once. But when we started scratching the surface, it became clear that there was a lot out there – we just weren’t aware of it. Engaging with these conversations and communities has been incredibly helpful for us to develop our own perspectives and deepen our understanding of ‘mazameen’ (topics) that matter to us. Now, we want to bring them closer to others like us through this platform. We’re just getting started by launching our newsletter, along with our website and social media channels!
