Re: Khan of Pakistan
Whether we like it or not, the hostages do defend captors in rural areas be it Sindh, Baluchistan, Punjab or KPK. The ‘sardar’, ‘malik’, ‘chaudhary’, ‘saien’ etc. usually have ‘final word’ on many (if not most) occasions. As these feudal lords do pass handouts (khairat) to the darbaris, or poors they become next-to-god for the poor masses. They then become the spokesperson, karta-dharta of that region.
