Dou Pakistan دو پاکستان
The book presents a roadmap for delivering prosperity to every Pakistani household based on a comprehensive analysis of the economy’s constraints, rigorous research of the development literature, and the experience of countries that have achieved success.
No nation has been able to eliminate poverty without sustained and rapid growth of its economy. Pakistan has suffered from a lack of clarity when it comes to economic development for such poverty reduction. Dou Pakistan is intended to address this intellectual challenge by presenting an integrated strategy for delivering prosperity to every Pakistani household in a generation, ie by 2047.
The book includes a treatment of all major topics associated with the goal of delivering prosperity to every Pakistani household. In doing so, it shows that the way inequality is frozen into Pakistan’s economic structures bears similarities to the Mughal economy. This brings colour to the book through excerpts from the primary texts of Mughal history which help illustrate how a large part of our population continues to live an economic life that belongs in a bygone era. Hence the Mughal miniatures that adorn the book.

Filled with experiences of other developing and developed countries, the book unveils the socio-economic challenges of Pakistan to their core, and presents possible solutions.
It is very unusual pattern for Urdu books specially to keep up the scientific and analytical approach based on data with coherent language flow. Author also uses literary notions such as Ghalib or Faiz couplets to make it pleasurable for reading. One of its own kind approach in Urdu and Worth reading, indeed!
