Barack Obama&#;s Pakistan Connections
Adil Najam
Most Pakistanis seem to like Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic Party candidate for President. However, for most, Senator Obama&#;s &#;Pakistan Connections&#; were limited to (a) his rather strong words about Pakistan, including about sending troops into Pakistan, and (b) his choice of Senator Joeseph Biden, who has a long and deep interest in foreign affairs, including Pakistan. Most Pakistanis are not very fond of the first of these connections. The second connection they like, especially because Senator Biden has been the key architect of a new, very generous and quite sensible support package for Pakistan.
It turns out, however, that Barack Obama may have slightly deeper and more personal connections to Pakistan. But, frankly, only very slightly deeper and only very slightly personal.
First, there is the story circulating around that Barak Obama&#;s mother lived in Pakistan for five years. It is quite clear that Ann Dunham, Obama&#;s mother, did indeed work and live in Pakistan as a consultant to the Asian Development Bank (ADB), working on a project in Gujranwalla (here, here, here). However, I must confess th

Barack Obama was born to a white American mother, Ann Dunham, and a black Kenyan father, Barack Obama Sr., who were both young college students at the University of Hawaii. When his father left for Harvard, she and Barack stayed behind, and his father ultimately returned alone to Kenya, where he worked as a government economist. Barack's mother remarried an Indonesian oil manager and moved to Jakarta when Barack was six. He later recounted Indonesia as simultaneously lush and a harrowing exposure to tropical poverty. He returned to Hawaii, where he was brought up largely by his grandparents. The family lived in a small apartment - his grandfather was a furniture salesman and an unsuccessful insurance agent and his grandmother worked in a bank - but Barack managed to get into Punahou School, Hawaii's top prep academy. His father wrote to him regularly but, though he traveled around the world on official business for Kenya, he visited only once, when Barack was ten.Obama att
Obama's 'bromance' with Pakistani in the limelight
Four years ago, the first black White House candidate was smeared with all sorts of allegations. Barack Obama was not born in the US. He was a mole. A socialist - no, make that a communist. Barack was gay. Barack was a Marxist. And a Muslim too.
Now the same myths are rumbling through the country's bars, online forums and, worryingly, major news outlets.
It is against this backdrop that new playwright Rashid Razaq is staging his debut production, based on Obama's college days at Columbia, New York.
Provocatively titled The President and the Pakistani, it revisits Harlem, , when "Barry" Obama was living with his alleged party-loving, drug-abusing, illegal alien Pakistani friend, Sohale Siddiqi.
"They had an odd-couple relationship," says Razaq, a reporter, showing me a picture of the pair sprawled on a mustard yellow sofa, a leather-jacketed and polo-sweatered Obama kicking back with an impressively moustached, skinny Pakistani.
In the play, Siddiqi has been renamed Salim "Sal" Maqbool. In Obama's autobiography, Dreams From My Father, he was recreated as a composite character named Sadik, mentioned in only a few pages.
