People can still read about him. Heck, the effects of his rule are evident today. What is good about it? Freedom of expression and speech were squashed, anyone that didn't toe his hardline view was either killed or locked up in jail. Most importantly he was a dictator. Not an elected leader. Not saying the elected leader but was any better but fgs no dictator should blatantly change society of any country like that - that is, with impunity.
You fail to realize that Pakistani society was always conservative. It was actually Bhutto policies that Zia gets blamed for. Zia was a hardliner, but he was no coward like the generals today. Unlike these generals today he wasn't willing to put up with any bullshit. If ttp ever tried the shit they did during his era he would have literally had their heads on spikes in public. And LaL masjid.... Forget about that drama because he would have buried that maulvi alive.
