Why Pakistan and Israel Took Different Paths? | Podcast | Dr Pervez Hoodbhoy

In this episode with New Wave History, Dr Pervez Hoodbhoy, a nuclear physicist and writer explores the historical, cultural, and ideological contrasts between Pakistan and Israel. From their founding principles to their intellectual and scientific trajectories, he explores how these two nations, created under vastly different circumstances, evolved into what they are today. Along the way, he touches upon the broader implications of orthodoxy, innovation, and progress in Muslim and Jewish civilizations. Dr. Hoodbhoy sheds light on how Israel’s foundation on equality and intellectual development contrasts sharply with Pakistan’s feudalistic origins and challenges in fostering a scientific culture. He connects the dots between past decisions and present realities, uncovering the deeper reasons behind Pakistan’s struggle with intellectual stagnation and Israel’s rise as a global hub of innovation.
