What's the conspiracy theory to explain the spread of conspiracy theories in Pakistan? This here is a self-laid trap if ever there was one. I'm not sure about the answer, but what I do know is that with each passing day, more and more Pakistanis are falling prey to the Curse of Conspiracy Theories. The affliction cuts across class, gender and educational stratas, and is successfully helping us build and strengthen the huge dome called Denial. No argument, no information, no proof is strong enough to crack this dome, inside which we all sit comfortably, happy in the knowledge that Pakistan is the centre of the world. And the world is out to get us.
