A Riveting Exposé: ‘And Then There Was Darkness’ Sheds Light on Pakistan’s Power Sector Crisis
Javed Munawarud Din’s New Book Unveils the Shocking Reality Behind the Country’s Energy Woes
Texas, US, 26th March 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, The global energy crisis has placed immense pressure on nations to reassess their power sector policies. Pakistan, a country long plagued by chronic energy shortages, has suffered from frequent blackouts, rising costs, and mismanagement. In his latest book, And Then There Was Darkness, Javed Munawarud Din, a veteran electrical engineer with over 30 years of experience in Pakistan’s Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA), takes readers on a compelling journey through the country’s deteriorating energy sector. The book is an in-depth, firsthand account of the corruption, inefficiency, and flawed policies that have brought Pakistan’s power industry to the brink of collapse.
A Story Rooted in Experience and Truth
Javed Munawarud Din’s insights come from decades of working within Pakistan’s energy infrastructure. And Then There Was Darkness is not just a technical critique; it is a deeply personal narrative interwoven with investigative analysis. The book paints a vivid picture of the downfall of a once-promising energy sector, burdened by political interference, poor governance, and misguided energy agreements. The author exposes the inner workings of WAPDA and the Independent Power Producer (IPP) contracts, which, rather than benefiting the public, prioritized profits for private entities, leaving the country in a cycle of debt and inefficiency.
“I have witnessed firsthand how policies were manipulated to serve personal interests rather than the public good,” says Javed Munawarud Din. “This book is my way of shedding light on the real reasons behind Pakistan’s energy crisis and calling for necessary reforms.”
A Comparative Perspective on Energy Policies
In his book, Javed Munawarud Din draws comparisons between Pakistan’s energy policies and successful global models. He explores how the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and U.S. power cooperatives were able to provide long-term, sustainable solutions, while Pakistan’s sector spiraled into instability. By evaluating what worked elsewhere and what went wrong at home, the author offers a compelling case for self-reliance and structured reforms to revitalize the power industry.
The book not only highlights past failures but also provides solutions, advocating for improved governance, transparency, and better resource management. The author believes that by learning from successful global energy models, Pakistan can implement policies that lead to long-term energy sustainability.
A Personal Story of Migration, Education, and Reform
Beyond the technical and policy discussions, And Then There Was Darkness is also a personal memoir. Javed Munawarud Din shares his journey from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia and ultimately the United States, where he found refuge from the corruption and inefficiencies that hindered progress back home. His reflections on migration, professional growth, and the contrasting experiences of working in different countries offer a broader perspective on leadership and governance.
The book highlights the struggles faced by professionals within Pakistan’s energy sector, particularly those who sought to implement positive change but found themselves constrained by a rigid system resistant to progress. It sheds light on how talent often leaves the country in search of better opportunities, further exacerbating the issue of brain drain.
A Call for Change
And Then There Was Darkness is more than just a critique—it is a wake-up call. It urges policymakers, industry experts, and citizens to demand better governance and accountability in the energy sector. The author provides concrete recommendations for reviving Pakistan’s power industry, including:
- Re-evaluating and renegotiating exploitative energy agreements.
- Increasing transparency in the allocation and management of resources.
- Investing in sustainable and renewable energy solutions.
- Implementing reforms that prioritize the public’s welfare over private profits.
- Encouraging and retaining local expertise instead of relying on foreign entities.
The book is an essential read for engineers, policymakers, students, and anyone interested in understanding the intricate dynamics of energy governance. It provides valuable lessons on how a country’s fate can be determined by the policies it chooses to implement—or ignore.
Praise for And Then There Was Darkness
Readers and industry professionals alike have commended the book for its depth of analysis and eye-opening revelations. “This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand why Pakistan’s energy crisis persists despite numerous reform promises,” says an energy consultant based in Islamabad. Another reader noted, “Javed’s ability to blend personal experience with investigative analysis makes this book both informative and engaging.”
