In a time of media monopolies, propaganda and severe budget cuts for actual reporting, TQ is an independent magazine working to cover the stories and issues others won’t. We strive to maintain a space for independent critical reflection. Help us build an independent magazine. Help us tell our story, your story and the story of Pakistanis and South Asians across the globe.

We have no outside funding. No grants. No loans. Just you.

Support us because:

  1. We’re awesome.
  2. We work damn hard. Check out our election map. Seen that anywhere else? We thought not.
  3. We make an effort to have a conversation across English and Urdu.
  4. You want to support a zine co-founded by two smart Pakistani women.
  5. You want better reporting about Pakistan
  6. You want better analysis about Pakistan.
  7. The journalists who work under tough conditions, especially in FATA and Balochistan, should get paid.
  8. You want us to remain independent.
  9. You don’t want to have to click through ads.
  10. Did we mention, we’re pretty awesome?

Why Tanqeed?

“Because it is the only truly critical and humanist publication coming out of Pakistan!” —critic

Ziauddin Sardar, Why do People Hate America?

Why Tanqeed?

“If you want just information, go to any other news source. But if you want perspective, if you want understanding, Tanqeed.org is the place to go.” —novelist

Bilal Tanweer, The Scatter Here is Too Great

Why Tanqeed?

“Tanqeed stands for a critical challenge to both conventional wisdom and preconceived ideas about the state, the society, the history and the culture in Pakistan. It partakes in a fearless debate treating nothing as sacred or taboo.” —editor

Badar Alam, Dawn Herald Magazine

Why Tanqeed?

News from Pakistan is easy to find. Its vibrant press produces newspapers and magazine, websites and news channels. But what lacks in much of this media ecology is the long-view, the attempt to place today’s events in a historical context or to widen the framework to bring culture and society into a political story. Tanqeed’s reason for existence is to bring the historical and the cultural into a conversation with the political. For that, it is indispensable. —professor

Vijay Prashad, Darker Nations: A People’s History of the Third World

Why Tanqeed?

“If only people were Pterodactyls. We would be able to screech at each other and fly away from our problems. But because we are condemned to communicate and forced to confront our challenges we need repositories of wisdom and criticism like this here magazine. We need Tanqeed, indeed.” —writer

Ali Eteraz, Children of Dust
