Ummah or Nation-State? | Majid Sharifi on Iran, Pakistan & the Colonial Legacy

How has colonialism shaped the fragmented Muslim world? In this powerful conversation with political theorist Majid Sharifi, we explore the legacy of nationalism in Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan—three nations molded by colonial borders, and caught in the crosshairs of Cold War superpowers.From resisting U.S. and Soviet influence to navigating modern crises—like Iran’s ongoing confrontation with Israel—these countries reveal the deep tensions between national identity and the Islamic ideal of a unified Ummah. As the global order shifts, could China's geo-economic rise offer a path beyond the Western geopolitical stranglehold?🎙 Topics Discussed: • The Ummah vs. nationalism—can unity survive colonial borders? • Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan: shared struggles, divergent paths • Cold War geopolitics and postcolonial statehood • Iran-Israel tensions: war, deterrence, or submission? • Nuclear strategy and survival under siege • Multipolarity: hope in China’s economic alternative?👤 About Majid Sharifi: Majid Sharifi is a political theorist and author specializing in postcolonial studies, nationalism, and global power structures. His work critically examines how small and medium states navigate the legacies of colonialism and the pressures of modern empires.📌 Subscribe for deep conversations on Islam, resistance, and the shifting world order. 🎧 Listen on all major podcast platforms – search “Kianistan.” 🌐 www.kianistan.com 💼 Sponsored by: www.worldwidelistings.co.uk#MajidSharifi #Ummah #Iran #Afghanistan #Pakistan #Nationalism #Colonialism #Geopolitics #IslamAndPolitics #ChinaVsWest
