For most politicians, winning office could be considered the one indivisible unit of success. Abdul Khalique Hazara uses a more modest measure: each day he stays alive is a victory. As the most prominent Hazara politician in Quetta, Khalique has every reason to be afraid. His predecessor as chairman of the Hazara Democratic Party, Hussain Ali Yousafi, was shot dead on 26 January, 2009. A wall-length poster of the slain leader adorning the HDP’s office underlines the danger. A puppy-faced, portly man with neatly-parted hair, Khalique had emerged as the best-known champion of the Hazaras’ plight. It doesn’t seem alarmist to assume that he is near the top of the militants’ hit list.
