Teaching Philosophy
In my view, a great teacher is like a great artist who uses basic tools to transform raw
materials into valuable assets of society. However, great artists may not have the best
tools or best skills – they are recognized because of their passion and their unique
perspective of the world. That is the difference between an artist and an artisan.
Teaching is similar. Great teachers are not just ones who transmit information, teach
skills, and help students earn the best grades. They are those who share their passion
for knowledge and curiosity with their students, inspire the students’ creativity, develop
their critical thinking ability, and prepare them for the complex world they will face after
stepping off campus.

9. About the book
The subject of the book is possibly the most sought after topic in the
present kaleidoscope of Pakistan’s political mural. To comprehend and
appreciate Politics, a deep acquaintanceship with history is a pre-
requisite. Dr. Rizvi has taken up a subject for his book The Political
System of Pakistan: A Constitutional Study, traversing from the
establishment of the State of Pakistan in 1947, tracing the strands of
politics from its formative years to the present latitudes of political
realizations, is an apt topic to choose. His decision to publish his taxing
research as a book will invariably be a rich contribution to the available
literature on Pakistan and Politics.
The author has treaded on many political questions, which may
perceptivelybe accepted as historical facts, but aphoristically are open to
reappraisals. Dr. Rizvi has taken up a great deal on the subject and has
provided his own conceptions on the issues revolving on the decade of
1950s. These years have become the base of our present.
This in a nutshell puts the problems faced by Pakistan. Unless a true
introspection of the policies, and areal exercise based on the truth and
reconciliation is taken up in Pakistan. Not much hope lies ahead.
I wish to applaud the work of Dr. Arshad Rizvi and hope his book will be
taken well by the critics.
