Philanthropy — built institutions that survive without state funding. Politics — mobilized a new voter base and changed campaign style to jalsas + social media. Supporters call him the only leader who challenged status quo. Opponents argue his tenure increased polarization. Historians will likely judge him as Pakistan’s most consequential non-dynastic politician. --- Paste this directly into Word or your document. Want me to expand any section to add more words?
