 Sardar Abdur Rab Nishtar: an appreciation -DAWN - The Review; December 30, 2006
Fourth, Sardar Nishtar was also one of those few men who stood steadfast to the ideology behind the Pakistan Movement, after the fateful events of April 1953 when Governor-General Ghulam Muhammad struck down the legally constituted Nazimuddin government, paving the way for a series of political disruptions in subsequent years.
Hence, in revitalizing the Pakistan Muslim League Sardar Nishtar’s contribution must be judged, not merely in terms of resuscitating or regenerating a political party in decline, but in terms of providing the country with a truly national party which, in any case, is a prerequisite for national consolidation and integration.
By the same token, Sardar Nishtar’s death was not merely a tremendous loss to the Pakistan Muslim League, but was also a truly national loss.

 Powell's Books - Desperately Seeking Paradise: Journeys of a Sceptical Muslim by Ziauddin Sardar
As a young student in London, he embarked on a quest to grasp the meaning and contemporary relevance of his religion and, hopefully, to find “paradise.” After experimenting with the mystical branch of Islam, Sufism, and with classical Islam, he set off on extensive travels through the Muslim world.
Pakistani by birth (in 1951) but raised in Britain, Sardar studied physics, but got sidetracked early into popular science writing and politics, becoming a member of FOSIS (the Federation of Students Islamic Society), an intellectual group opposed to the right-wing Muslim Brotherhood.
Sardar has done the necessary background reading to fill readers in, he never preaches, and despite what sometimes seems a dismaying array of evidence otherwise, he never loses hope for the future of Muslim civilization."

 Manas: History and Politics, Sardar Patel
Sardar Patel was one of Mohandas Gandhi’s closest associates, and he organized and led several satyagrahas during India’s struggle for freedom from British rule.
Some people even held Patel ultimately responsible for the assassination of Gandhi, and he is alleged to have not done enough to unearth the conspiracy to murder Gandhi after the initial plot of 20 January 1948, where police were able to hold Madanlal Pahwa captive, was foiled.
Unless one engages in a careful, hermeneutic, and dialectic reading of Patel, the ‘iron’ man who became one of the eminent followers of the preeminent practitioner and theorist of nonviolence, he too will disappear into the pantheon of martial Hindu heroes and the bottomless well of Hindutva chicanery.

 Indigo Jo Blogs: ZiaWatch Archives
In this week's New Statesman, he has an article in reaction to the recently published "Muslim Power 100", which was sponsored by the Islamic Bank of Britain and Carter Andersen (I'm not sure what they do, because the only website under their name is at the time of writing suspended for non-payment of hosting fees).
Sardar's thesis is that, around the 14th century, Muslim scholars who were concerned about threats to their influence over Muslim society "closed the gates of ijtihad", in other words, banned fresh reasoning on religious issues.
Sardar advocates the re-opening of the "gates of ijtihad" and misrepresents the reason, and extent, to which they have been closed.

 A National Memory Loss - Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel: India's Iron Man by Dr. Subhash Kapila
It was the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhai Patel a towering but self-effacing leader on whom the appellation “Sardar” was bestowed by the people of Bardoli in Gujarat where he had led a very determined agitation against the British.
Sardar Patel with his eagle-eyed strategic vision and as a strong votary of political statecraft based on ‘political realism’ as opposed to ‘political idealism’ had given many warnings in writing to Nehru as the Prime Minister both on his Kashmir policies and also on his China policies.
Sardar Patel was truly an exceptional man and the Indian Nation State needs to do more to honor this architect of Modern India than it has done so far.
