From army chief to dictator to President to outcast - with such a tumultuous path, Pervez Musharraf attracted many enemies, and that too from surprising quarters.
Musharraf was the target of multiple assassination attempts during his tenure as President. What is interesting is that many of the assassination conspiracies were hatched by soldiers of the Pakistani armed forces, and members of terrorist groups given patronage by the Pakistani military.
In April 2002, a remote-controlled car bomb had been placed on Musharraf's route. The detonator failed and an attack on the President was averted.
On 14 December 2003, a bomb exploded near Musharraf's farmhouse in Islamabad. The blast occurred 20-25 minutes after Musharraf's car passed the exact spot. The bomb had been placed in a drainage pipe next to the footpath, and caused a big crater when it went off.
Just 11 days later, Musharraf was targeted by two suicide bombers. Trucks laden with bombs were driven into the President's convoy. Over 15 people died, over 40 were injured, but Musharraf survived.
Four years later, on 6 July 2007, shots were fired at Musharraf's plane during take-off. The aircraft was taking off from a military airfield in Rawalpindi. The plane eventually safely arrived in Turbat town.
In October 2003, a court convicted 3 terrorists for the 2002 assassination plot. In September 2006, Pakistan’s Supreme Court upheld death sentences handed down to 12 men, including soldiers and civilians, convicted of taking part in two assassination plots.
In 2009, a military court in Pakistan convicted two soldiers for being involved in a murder conspiracy against Musharraf. In 2004, the President had reportedly blamed low-ranking Army and Air Force officers for allying with an Al Qaeda operative to take his life.

Pervez Musharraf: 4 assassination attempts the Pakistani dictator survived - the details

The Kargil war - in Pervez Musharraf's imagination, it was an opportunity to go down as one of the greatest in history books. In reality, it was a moment of utter humiliation for the entire nation of Pakistan.
The Kargil conflict was a 60-day war which took place between May and July 1999. It occurred in the Kargil-Drass sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
The war began with infiltration from the Pakistan-controlled side. Islamabad initially blamed terrorists, but subsequently, it was proven that Pakistan army soldiers were part of the operation.
Over 500 Indian soldiers were killed in the action, but Indian eventually claimed victory on July 26, 1999. The day is celebrated as Vijay Diwas every year.
As Pakistan army chief, Pervez Musharraf had masterminded the Kargil operation. Musharraf had reportedly presented a similar plan to Benazir Bhutto when she was Prime Minister, but she had rejected it.
Eventually, Musharraf launched the operation when Nawaz Sharif was in power. The Pakistani general wanted to catch India off-guard, and quickly capture territory.
Musharraf thought that once the war started, the West would be forced intervene to prevent a wider conflict between two nuclear powers, and a ceasefire would cement Pakistan's territorial gains.
However, the plan back-fired as India responded fiercely, and decimated Pakistani forces. Years later, one of Nawaz Sharif's close aides claimed that Musharraf had launched the war to derail India-Pakistan talks.

Pervez Musharraf was born on August 11, 1943 in undivided India's Delhi. After Partition in 1947, his family moved to Pakistan. The son of a career diplomat, he chose a life in the armed forces. Musharraf fought in the 1965 and 1971 India-Pakistan wars.
After serving in the artillery, the infantry, and commando units, and teaching stints at the Staff College in Quetta and the War Wing of the National Defence College, Musharraf finally reached the top office. He was appointed chief of army staff in October 1998 by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
A year later, Musharraf overthrew Sharif, and snatched power in a bloodless coup. In 2001, he declared himself the President of Pakistan. A year later, elections were held but after disqualification of Sharif, and Benazir Bhutto.
In 2007, Musharraf's re-election bid led to a clash with the judiciary. The dictator sacked the Chief Justice, imposed emergency, and arrested Opposition leaders.
However, in the 2008 elections, Musharraf's party fared badly. Subsequently, the Sharif-Zardari coalition pursued Musharraf's impeachment leading to his resignation as President in August 2008.
Musharraf tried to make a political comeback in 2013, but was arrested under various cases. Three years later, the former dictator went to Dubai for medical treatment. In 2018, it came to light that Musharraf was suffering from amyloidosis.
In 2019, he was sentenced to death after being found guilty of high treason for subverting the Constitution in 2007. Musharraf's execution was considered unlikely as he was not expected to return to Pakistan from Dubai. A year later, the conviction and death sentence were overturned.
On June 10, Musharraf's family tweeted from his account that had been hospitalised for 3 weeks due to a complication of his ailment. The statement said that Musharraf was going through a difficult stage where recovery was not possible and his organs were malfunctioning.

'Pasoori', the hit Coke Studio song from Pakistan, has thrown the spotlight on a doyen of the Pakistani cultural world. The music video for the song, starring Ali Sethi and Shae Gill, also features a dancer that many members of younger generations might not be aware of.
She is Pakistan's classical dancer, and social activist, Sheema Kermani. Her story has been as exciting, colourful, and challenging, as her art.
She was born in 1951 in a progressive family in Rawalpindi, and raised in Karachi. Her foray into dance began early, through her mother, a Bharatnatyam dancer.
Sheema also visited India many times for training in the 1980s. She turned into a politico-cultural rebel when General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq's military dictatorship began.
The military regime banned dance, calling it un-Islamic, and discouraged attires like sarees. However, Sheema continued to wear sarees, and sport a 'bindi' on her forehead, as a symbol of her resistance.
She told The Indian Express that she had to play with words to get permission from the Pakistani government for her events. Instead of "dance performance", she would call it "cultural programme".
One of her most memorable performances with a social message was the dance at Lal Shahbaz Qalandar shrine, days after the suicide attack in 2017. The bombing had killed over 85 people.
Sheema said that she performed at the shrine to ensure that the attack did not "change anything".
