There's a great piece on the current student movement in Pakistan by Faheem Hussain, who notes that it is an exciting development despite the fact that it is not a broad-based movement (notably, it has failed to address issues of poverty and social justice). Excerpt below:

Whether this will develop into a movement is still to be seen.
