'''''The Arousal''''' was [[Pakistan]]'s first ever [[Anarchism|anarchist]] newsletter founded and published by a group of ex-[[Socialist]] and ex-[[Marxist]] student activists in [[1988]].
The group was led by [[Nadeem F. Paracha]] who went on to become a famous and iconic music and [[cultural critic]]. ''The Arousal'' was published and distributed free of cost in [[Karachi]] and [[Lahore]] and became notorious for its mocking attacks and madcap articles aimed at the country's [[Feudal]] and [[capitalism|Capitalist]] elite and many orthodox politico-religious parties. The Arousal was also allaigned with British anarchist group ''[[Class War]]''.
After ''The Arousal's'' offices were repeatedly raided by the [[police]], Nadeem F. Paracha folded the newsletter and joined mainstream journalism.
