Pakistan Is Heir To An Intellectual Tradition Of Which The Illustrious Exponent Was The Poet And Philosopher Mohammad Iqbal. He Saw The Future Course For Islamic Societies In A Synthesis Between Adherence To The Faith And Adjustment To The Modern Age.

My Father Always Would Say, "my Daughter Will Go Into Politics? My Daughter Will Become Prime Minister", But It's Not What I Wanted To Do. I Would Say, "no, Papa, I Will Never Go Into Politics."
