It all started in 1857 …
Then entered the 20th century …
Things settled down a bit after Pakistan’s creation in 1947 – even though local media was a bit late to realise Pakistan’s creation because it was still busy discussing the dharnas …
Then in 1958, umpire (Ayub Khan) nein ungli utha di …
But after some time, many folks became angry with the umpire …
… And dharna was back!
Then another umpire (Yahya Khan) nein ungli utha di …
But soon he himself was shown the ungli …
Society was polarised …
Dharna returned …
Then another umpire (Zia-ul-Haq) nein ungli utha di …
The nature of social and political discourse changed …
But there was no dharna …
Because life was groovy …
After the umpire’s tenure ended, his legacy of milk and honey remained …
But some people did not appreciate this great legacy …
Perturbed by some terrible batting, new umpire (Parvez Musharraf) nein ungli utha di …
Society, however, continued to polarise and divide …
So much so, that the umpire gave himself out …
But at least keepers of the legacy of milk and honey were still around …
In the midst of despair, a new hero arose …
The corrupt were shaken …
And then …
Dharna!
But this time the umpire was of a different kind. No ungli was raised.
Thanksgiving rally!
