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.”

An exceptional tribute to a fearless soul whose work for a noble cause shall continue to rekindle the life of many mortals in this land where soil is splattered with blood of such victims. RIP Sabeen!
jo rukay to koh-e-giran jo chalay to jaan se guzar gaye
rah-e-yaar humne kadam kadam tujhe yaad gaar bana diya
I owe my enlightenment to Sabeen!
har ek raat ki taqdeer mein sehr hi to hai
Thank you liberation of this country from darkness will yet take many more lives. Let not the fragile candle of free thought be extinguished.
