The events unfolded over the past five months of military rule create a strong feeling of d j vu of the first few months of Gen. Zia s rule. It has essentially been a change of command within the elitist framework a kind of ruler derby. The common man had hailed the military take over in the hope that it would effect a basic change in the decadent and oppressive system. There is yet no place for him under the sun. The feudal spirit continues to permeate the society.
Nature is said to abhor the status quo as much as illogicality.
