A Karachi Physicist On a Mission

via cities.expressindia.com

FOR a Karachi-born nuclear physicist, Pervez Hoodbhoy (54) fits no stereotype. Not surprising, therefore, that Hoodbhoy told Newsline he has no time to take in Bollywood movies. The professor from the Quaid-e-Azam University at Islamabad has spent the last two years bent over his laptop, editing precious footage on Kashmir for a 45-minute documentary titled Crossing the Lines-Kashmir, Pakistan, India. He confesses that some in Pakistan dismiss it as ‘Indian propaganda’.
