1977 cover of famous Pakistani Urdu magazine, Dhanak. Radical in its aesthetics, the magazine was hugely popular with young men and women. It covered fashion trends, ran film reviews and also had left-leaning articles on politics.

A number of noted progressive Urdu intellectuals such as Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Munir Niazi, Mumtaz Mufti, etc., wrote regularly for Dhanak.

It was edited and published by Sarwar Sukhera. In 1979 it became the first publication to be directly clamped down by the reactionary Ziaul Haq dictatorship that took over power through a military coup in July 1977.

Deemed as ‘anti-Islam’ by the Zia regime, Dhanak offices were attacked by Jamat-e-Islami goons and Sarwar was arrested for committing ‘treason’.

Sarwar went into exile after the magazine was shut down

A group of European tourists travelling and enjoying a cup of tea on a Pakistani train, 1976.

A German tourist outside a ‘ hashish shop’ in the tribal areas of former NWFP (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), 1976.

With the state of Pakistan having little influence in such areas, shops selling hashish sprang up when young western tourists began to pour into Pakistanfrom Afghanistan from the late 1960s onwards.

Today however, these areas are strictly off-limits not only to foreigners but also Pakistanis due to the war between Islamist insurgents and the Pakistan military.

The fate of the shops is unknown.
