DOUBTLESS for an under-resourced, developing country such as Pakistan, putting money aside for what are considered ‘non-essential’ expenditures is a tough ask. It is not surprising that matters of culture and the preservation of heritage end up on the back-burner. Even so, it is essential to remember that these are the very lynchpins that connect the country’s bright future as claimed by government with its rich, tapestried history. That these sectors remain inadequately addressed by the state is all the more shocking given that the current government makes much about its dedication to ‘soft power’ concerns such as tourism, environment and heritage. Thus, when last week, the Sindh Minister for Culture, Tourism and Antiquities Syed Sardar Shah said that “I will not beg for alms from the federal heritage ministry”, the bitterness betrayed by his choice of words was regrettable beyond measure.
