The Eqbal Ahmad Centre for Public Education (EACPE) seeks to foster the use of science and reason to understand nature and society and so better enable all citizens of Pakistan to participate fully in the political, social, economic, and cultural life of their society; to exercise their democratic rights and responsibilities; to value human rights, democracy and the rule of law; to promote cultural and religious diversity; to raise awareness of global issues and the natural environment; and to advance the goals of international peace and justice.
EACPE is named to honour the life and work of distinguished Pakistani academic, activist, and public intellectual, Dr. Eqbal Ahmad.
“The EACPE record is very impressive, and hopeful — a rarity these days. About the webpage (design), I don’t have anything useful to say. Have little experience that’s relevant. To me personally, the range and choice of topics is appealing and impressive. I can’t think of any useful way to improve it.”

Keep on working, great job!
I reallyy like what you guys aare up too. This type of clever work and
reporting! Keep up the fantastic works guys I’ve added you guys to my personal blogroll.
although i’m agree with his argument of the clash between between religious orthodox and science. historically, these orthodox from every religion opposed violently science. that’s absolutely right but in case of Pakistan when he connecting the issue of targeting polio workers with religious fanatics is not totally the same. in Pakistan, its much likely a political issue rather than the problem of religion. why people comes to an easy conclusion ignoring the others sides of the issue.
