An article published in the Washington Post written by the notable Indian journalist Burkha Dutt. One may not agree about many of her remarks, but the conclusion she is drawing is based on rational thinking. I leave it to the readers to decide about what to make of it. IMO it is always prudent...

A very happy Independence Day to all Pakistani members. Pakistan Paindah Baad.

Honorable Joe Shearer, I always value & welcome your opinions as these always have a sound basis. I would also not deny that 'Partial Sovereignty' is unheard of under normal circumstances. IMO. the circumstances under which the Instrument of Aggression was signed were abnormal. Raja Hari...
