Rasool Bux Palijo is a unique social scientist and a remarkable
politician of South Asia whose work must be gauged by the extent to
which his predictions are verified by history. In every nation some
names stand out as the pioneers of uprisings, revolutions and
movements and Rasool Bux Palijo is the most outstanding and
exceptional thinker and leader of the twentieth century Sindh and
Pakistan. Like all great intellectuals, scholars and leaders Palijo has
been at times misunderstood, misinterpreted and misjudged not only
by his die hard adversaries, but by his admirers as well. Palijo, one of
the great original thinker of Sindh, is known as the Quid-e-Inqilab
(Leader of Revolution) because of the radical nationalist pursuits with
which he has been challenging the rigid mindset of the dictators of his
times and because only a powerfully original mind can emancipate
itself as completely as Palijo's did from the tyranny of accepted but
already obsolescent ideas of south Asian Politics.
