Nasim Yousaf is an independent scholar, researcher and historian based in the United States, recognized for his work on his relatives[1] Allama Mashriqi, Dr. Akhter Hameed Khan, Air Commodore Zafar Masud and also the Khaksar Movement.
Biography
[edit]Yousaf began his research career in 1996, concentrating on the partition of India and key historical figures such as Allama Mashriqi, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Mahatma Gandhi, and the British colonial rulers. His works have been featured in several peer-reviewed journals, including Harvard Asia Quarterly, Pakistaniaat, and Education About Asia and he has presented at the New York Conference on Asian Studies (NYCAS) at Cornell University. On April 6–7, 2007, he was also invited and participated in the conference Contested Spaces, Competing Narratives: Towards Human Rights and Democracy in Pakistan, held at Harvard University and Tufts University.[2]
Views on Reunification
[edit]Yousaf has advocated for Indian reunification, arguing that the partition was a result of British divide-and-rule tactics aimed at preventing a united India from becoming a global power. He criticized Muhammad Ali Jinnah for allegedly misleading the Muslim community for personal ambitions. Yousaf suggested that reunification could allow India and Pakistan to redirect military spending toward economic and social development, addressing issues like poverty and illiteracy. He also noted cultural similarities between the two nations and compared the possibility of reunification to the reunification of Germany.
Input to Electoral Integrity Project
