Pervez Hoodbhoy

Hoodbhoy was born and raised in Karachi, Sindh, in a family belonging to the Gujarati Khoja Ismaili Shia community.{{cite web |author1=Aakar Patel |title=Of Punjab's partition, castes & martial races |url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/318092/of-punjab%E2%80%99s-partition-castes-martial-races |website=The Express Tribune |language=en |date=7 January 2012}} He later identified as a Humanist and became an official signatory of Humanist Manifesto III.{{Cite web |date=2024-08-26 |title=Humanism and Its Aspirations: Notable Signers |url=https://americanhumanist.org/what-is-humanism/manifesto3/signers/ |access-date=2024-08-26 |website=American Humanist Association |language=en-US}} He has one elder brother, and three sisters including infectious diseases specialist Dr. Naseem Salahuddin and reporter Nafisa Hoodbhoy. Husband of Nafisa, Jawaid Bhutto, a renowned Sindhi intellectual, was shot and killed on 1 March, 2019 in Washington D.C.{{Cite web |title=Found insane in one killing, police say D.C. man killed again |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/local/insane-plea-murder/ |access-date=2025-05-11 |website=Washington Post |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Renowned Sindhi intellectual Javed Bhutto murdered in US |url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/438799-renowned-sindhi-intellectual-javed-bhutto-murdered-in-us |access-date=2025-05-11 |website=www.thenews.com.pk |language=en}} He has been married twice, first to Hajra Ahmed, niece of public intellectual and activist Eqbal Ahmad. Hoodbhoy and Hajra Ahmed have two daughters together, including Alia Amirali, a well-known feminist and political activist. They divorced in 2009 and Hoodbhoy later married Sadia Manzoor who is also, like him, a physics professor. They were married late in life and do not have children together.

Hoodbhoy attended the Karachi Grammar School in Karachi for his initial schooling.{{cite web |url=http://old.drsohail.com/Articals/Pervezhoodbhoy.htm |title=Pervez |access-date=2013-12-31 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120716211940/http://old.drsohail.com/Articals/Pervezhoodbhoy.htm |archive-date=16 July 2012 }} After graduating, at the age of 19, Hoodbhoy went to the United States to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on a scholarship.{{Cite web |title=Pervez Hoodbhoy: Aik Din Geo Kay Sath | date=28 December 2019 | via=YouTube |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpO7cfP6PhU}} During his undergraduate years he worked in restaurants, various odd jobs, and as a campus janitor to support his studies.

At MIT Hoodbhoy did a double major in Electric Engineering and Mathematics, and an MEng in Physics, with a concentration in solid-state physics in 1973. Immediately thereafter he joined Islamabad University (later called Quaid-e-Azam University) as a junior lecturer in October 1973 where he taught physics for two years but was also heavily involved in left-wing political work. After two years of teaching and activism he returned to MIT to work on various problems of nuclear structure theory under the supervision of Prof. John W. Negele. He was awarded a doctorate in nuclear physics in 1978 with a thesis titled, "Time Dependent Correlations in Nuclear Dynamics".{{Cite web |title=CV of Pervez Hoodbhoy |url=https://eacpe.org/about-pervez-hoodbhoy}}

Hoodbhoy's PhD research was in nuclear physics but much of his later work focused on the quark-gluon structure of nuclei, quantum chromodynamics, and particle phenomenology. In particular this included the spin structure of nuclei and quark-gluon components of the proton's spin as measured in various hard processes. He has also published papers seeking to link ADS/CFT and extra space-time dimensions with certain nuclear phenomena. His other works touch on quantum hydrodynamics, Berry phases, skyrmion physics, and quantum Hall phenomena.

In 1981 Hoodbhoy accepted an offer for post-doctoral research at the University of Washington. In 1986 he spent his sabbatical year as visiting professor at Carnegie Mellon University. While still a professor at the Quaid-e-Azam University, he made several visits as a guest scientist to the International Centre for Theoretical Physics and also held short-term visiting professorships at MIT and University of Maryland. In 2010, upon reaching mandatory retirement at age 60, he started teaching in Lahore but continued to voluntarily teach advanced physics topics at QAU until 2020. Presently (2021–2025) he holds the position of adjunct professor of physics at the University of New Brunswick, Canada.

From 2011 to 2013 Hoodbhoy was at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) as professor of physics during which period he made summer visits as a researcher to Princeton University while also writing opinion editorial columns for the Express Tribune, [https://www.dawn.com/authors/2286/pervez-hoodbhoy Dawn] as well as other newspapers. The sudden termination of his contract became a matter of public controversy.{{Cite web |title=Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy fired from LUMS |date=30 October 2012 |url=https://globalvoices.org/2012/10/30/pakistan-dr-pervez-hoodbhoy-fired-from-lums}} He moved to the Forman Christian College-University (2013–2020) as distinguished professor of physics until his contract was abruptly cancelled as well after 8 years. Hoodbhoy contends that these terminations were due to extra-academic reasons.{{Cite web |date=2020-07-03 |title=Hoodbhoy resigns from FC College after administration terms contract 'non-renewable' |url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/2253195/hoodbhoy-resigns-from-fc-college-after-administration-terms-contract-non-renewable |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=The Express Tribune}}{{Citation |title=Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy - Why I Resigned from Forman Christian College | date=5 July 2020 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_qp-9HvNVI |access-date=2023-12-22}}

Hoodbhoy points to Noam Chomsky, whose courses and lectures he had attended as an undergraduate at MIT, as a major influence upon his political philosophy. So also was the scholar-activist and public intellectual, Eqbal Ahmad, which whom he developed a life-long friendship.{{Cite web |last1=Hoodbhoy |first1=Pervez |last2=Said |first2=Edward W. |title=Confronting Empire |url=https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/970-confronting-empire |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=haymarketbooks.org}} In the early 1970s Hoodbhoy worked actively with People's Labour Federation, a progressive trade union in Rawalpindi and was part of an independent Marxist group at Islamabad University headed by Professor Faheem Husain. With the advent of martial law in 1977 all union activity was banned and progressive activities forced underground.

Away from his specialized field of research, Hoodbhoy writes and speaks on a variety of topics and is a self-described liberal.{{Cite web |last=Notezai |first=Muhammad Akbar |title=Interview: Pervez Hoodbhoy |url=https://thediplomat.com/2015/11/interview-pervez-hoodbhoy/ |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=thediplomat.com}} New Scientist wrote that he was "Pakistan’s Voice of Reason"{{Cite web |title=Interview: Pakistan's voice of reason |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/250760896}} while Physics Today described him as fierce opponent of pseudoscience and a global citizen.{{Cite journal |title=In Islamic Pakistan, physicist and global citizen Pervez Hoodbhoy takes advantage of a January media spotlight |date=2016 |doi=10.1063/PT.5.8162 |url=https://pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/online/11807/In-Islamic-Pakistan-physicist-and-global-citizen |last1=Corneliussen |first1=Steven T. |journal=Physics Today |issue=2 |page=11807 |bibcode=2016PhT..2016b1807C |url-access=subscription }} He has sharply criticized efforts to merge religion with science; the politicization of Islam and growth of religious extremism; Pakistan's blasphemy law; military dictators and their surrogates in Pakistan; the subjugation of Pakistani women; the takeover of the educational process by religious forces; and opposed jihad for liberating Kashmir and fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan.  

Provoked by General Zia-ul-Haq's extreme measures to create a new Islamic science, Hoodbhoy authored Islam and Science: Religious Orthodoxy and the Battle for Rationality with a preface by physics Nobel Laureate, Abdus Salam.{{Cite web |last=bloomsbury.com |title=Islam and Science |url=https://www.bloomsbury.com/ca/islam-and-science-9781856490252/ |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=Bloomsbury}}  This was subsequently translated into 8 languages. The book contends that the rise of Muslim science owed to Muslim openness in an earlier phase of Islam but subsequent closing of the Muslim mind led to the demise of all intellectual production.{{Cite journal |last1=Quarterly |first1=Middle East |last2=Pp. 69-74 |date=2010-01-01 |title=Pervez Amirali Hoodbhoy: "Islam and Science Have Parted Ways" |url=https://www.meforum.org/2593/pervez-amirali-hoodbhoy-islam-science |journal=Middle East Quarterly}} Hoodbhoy has continued to insist that attitudinal reasons, not paucity of resources, are responsible for the stagnation of the sciences in Islam.{{Cite journal |title=Science and the Islamic world—The quest for rapprochement | date=2007 | doi=10.1063/1.2774098 |url=https://pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/article-abstract/60/8/49/389445/Science-and-the-Islamic-world-The-quest-for?redirectedFrom=fulltext | last1=Hoodbhoy | first1=Pervez Amirali | journal=Physics Today | volume=60 | issue=8 | pages=49–55 | bibcode=2007PhT....60h..49H | url-access=subscription }} Salam and Hoodbhoy jointly authored an essay in 1984 that critiqued Eurocentric claims to developing science.{{Cite web |title=Book Preface by Abdus Salam and Hoodbhoy |url=https://eacpe.org/content/uploads/2014/02/Book-preface-by-Salam-and-Hoodbhoy.pdf}}

Salam, an Ahmadi, is reviled in Pakistan for his religious beliefs. In his defence, Hoodbhoy has taken to the media repeatedly.{{Cite web |last=Hoodbhoy |first=Pervez |date=2020-11-07 |title=Salam's face blackened |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1589090 |access-date=2023-12-22 |work=Dawn|location=Pakistan}} He also features prominently in the video documentary "Salam – the first ****** Nobel Laureate"{{Citation |last=Kamalakar |first=Anand |title=Salam - The First ****** Nobel Laureate |date=2018-01-06 |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7904606/ |type=Documentary |access-date=2023-12-22}} and is among the notable signatories of the Humanist Manifesto.{{Cite web |date=2012-10-05 |title=Notable Signers |url=http://www.americanhumanist.org/Humanism/Humanist_Manifesto_III/Notable_Signers |access-date=2023-12-22 |archive-date=5 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121005105825/http://www.americanhumanist.org/Humanism/Humanist_Manifesto_III/Notable_Signers |url-status=dead }}

In 1996 Hoodbhoy, together with his colleague A.H Nayyar, successfully stopped the sale of Quaid-e-Azam University's land to politicians and professors, invoking a strong counter-reaction.{{Cite web |date=1996-07-01 |title=A state and its death sentences |url=https://www.himalmag.com/state-death-sentences/ |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=Himal Southasian}} However, his subsequent attempts to preserve the land from politicians failed.{{Cite web |last=Hoodbhoy |first=Pervez |date=2018-12-29 |title=QAU's land is PTI's litmus test |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1454252 |access-date=2023-12-22 |work=Dawn|location=Pakistan}} He has been the leading critic of Pakistan's Higher Education Commission whose policies, he contends, have incentivized academic corruption{{Cite web |last=Hoodbhoy |first=Pervez |date=2014-11-29 |title=Misjudging universities |url=http://www.dawn.com/news/1147559 |access-date=2023-12-22 |work=Dawn|location=Pakistan}} and created a professor mafia.{{Cite web |last=Hoodbhoy |first=Pervez |date=2017-07-01 |title=Pakistan's professor mafia |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1342483 |access-date=2023-12-22 |work=Dawn|location=Pakistan}}{{Quote box

While at MIT Hoodbhoy studied under physicists such as Victor Weisskopf, Philip Morrison, and Bernard Feld from the 1940s Manhattan Project. Their influence helped turn him into becoming the leading voice against the development of nuclear weapons both by India and Pakistan.{{Cite web |title=Margolis Lecture - Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy |url=https://www.socsci.uci.edu/files/announcements/060512_hoodbhoy/hoodbhoy6.htm |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=socsci.uci.edu}} In 1996, at the behest of Dr. A.Q. Khan, his activism led to his name being placed on the Exit Control List.{{Cite web |title=A Hero's Meltdown |work=Hindustan Times |date=19 February 2004 |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/a-hero-s-meltdown/story-0bisstC1KExUz6hrirLg2M.html}} In 2013 he was the major contributor and editor of [https://www.amazon.com/Confronting-Bomb-Pakistani-Indian-Scientists/dp/019906833X Confronting The Bomb – Pakistani And Indian Scientists Speak Out]. He is a member of the [https://fissilematerials.org International Panel on Fissile Materials], based at Princeton University.

From 1991 to 2004 Hoodbhoy hosted and authored three major 13-part documentary series in Urdu on Pakistan Television on popular science and education. To date these have been the only science documentaries produced by PTV.  In 2003 he was the recipient of UNESCO's 2003 Kalinga Prize for the popularization of science.

Following the nuclear tests of India and Pakistan, Hoodbhoy hosted and produced a 30-minute documentary "Pakistan and India Under the Nuclear Shadow" (2001). With help from Zia Mian, this was followed by a longer documentary on the Kashmir dispute in 2004. It has been the only documentary produced in Pakistan so far that considers the narratives of all three protagonists and is titled, "Crossing the Lines: Kashmir, Pakistan, India".{{Cite web |title=Margolis Lecture - Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy |url=https://www.socsci.uci.edu/files/announcements/060512_hoodbhoy/crossingthelines.htm |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=socsci.uci.edu}}
