Who emphasised that "Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia constitute a single region" ?

  • A.Shuja Pasha
  • B.Wajahat Hussain
  • C.Ahmad Rashid
  • D.Maleeha Zodi

Answer: C

The keyed answer is Ahmad Rashid, the Pakistani journalist Ahmed Rashid.

Rashid's books treat Pakistan, Afghanistan and the former Soviet republics of Central Asia as one strategic region linked by militancy, pipelines and great-power rivalry: Taliban (2000), Jihad: The Rise of Militant Islam in Central Asia (2002) and Descent into Chaos: The US and the Failure of Nation Building in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia (2008).

Shuja Pasha was a head of Pakistan's ISI and Maleeha Lodhi (the paper's 'Zodi') a Pakistani diplomat and editor; neither is known for this argument.
