Uzair Salman is an MPhil scholar, a philosophy enthusiast, and an op-ed writer having had his work featured in some of Pakistan’s leading English dailies and magazines. He is currently employed at ICARUS Incorporated as a Research Associate having been assigned the task of executing an FCDO funded project called Delivering Accelerated Family Planning in Pakistan—widely known by its acronym DAFPAK—and heads the editorial board of The Mirror of Society—a bilingual youth magazine—as its Executive Editor.
Having remained a victim of extremism oftentimes perpetrated along religious and sectarian lines, Uzair’s one aim, among varying others, it is to ascertain that he plays his imputable role in riding the society of extremist ideologies; a role that, at times, comes at the cost of putting one’s life in harm’s way. Notwithstanding the obstacles that his path is fraught with, he is determined that with tenacious efforts and a profound understanding of the problems that we are grappling with, his name will, sooner than later, be counted among those responsible for the amelioration of the society-at-large.
