| General note |
Begum Ra'ana Liaquat Ali Khan was the wife of Pakistan's first prime minister. She was born<br/>Irene Margaret Pant in Kumaon in the early twentieth century. A generation earlier, her family<br/>had converted to Christianity, and Irene grew up in the shadow of the Brahmin community's still<br/>active outrage. Always intelligent, outgoing and independent, she was teaching economics in a<br/>Delhi college when she met the dashing Nawazada Liaquat Ali Khan, a rising politician in the Muslim<br/>League and an ardent champion of the cause for Pakistan.<br/>She was immediately inspired by both the man and the idea; they married in 1933 and Irene Pant<br/>became Ra'ana Liaquat Ali Khan. In August 1947 they left for Pakistan-led by Liaquat's mentor<br/>and friend, Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Ra'ana threw herself into the work of nation building, but in<br/>1951 Liaquat Ali Khan was assassinated, and the reasons for his murder are still shrouded in mystery.<br/>Ra'ana continued to be active in public life-and her contribution to women's empowerment in<br/>Pakistan is felt to this day.<br/>Ra'ana's life story embodies all the major tropes of the Indian subcontinent's recent history.<br/>Three religions-Hinduism, Christianity and Islam-had an immense impact on her life,<br/>and she participated actively in all the major movements of her time-the freedom struggle,<br/>the Pakistani movement and the fight for women's empowerment. She could see clearly what went<br/>wrong after 1947 and wasn't afraid to say so. She spoke out openly against the rise of religious<br/>conservatism in Pakistan and the growing role of corruption. She occasionally met with opposition,<br/>but she never gave up. It is this spirit that The Begum captures. |
