Eqbal Ahmad
Eqbal Ahmad (1933-1999) was a Pakistani intellectual, activist, and writer known for his anti-imperialist stance and advocacy for social justice. He gained international recognition for his opposition to U.S. foreign policy, particularly during the Vietnam War, and was involved in various liberation movements, including Algeria's war for independence. Ahmad's experience as a wounded soldier in the Kashmir conflict shaped his pacifist views, and he later became a respected academic in the U.S., where his critiques of American foreign policy and insights into global inequities resonated with many. His ideas remain influential in discussions on international relations and justice.
