Sorry, beyond my capabilities. The gist of the article is that Sh Abdulla was responsible for Kashmir going to India. Farooq Abdulla's family have done whatever they could to stay in power for 3 generations. Therefore we should not be fooled by Farooq Abdulla shedding crocodile tears after...

Hon Sir, It is not a question about who is to blame. My point is that the objectives of our response/action should be to hurt or at least irritate the Modi gov't. By stopping Samjotha Express we are simply inconveniencing the Muslim & Sikh passengers. Were these travelers responsible for the...

This decision IMHO is pointless. The train was a link between people of the same family living across the border. As pointed out by Hon Kanishka, majority of the passengers were Muslims. It was also used by the Sikh Yatris. Samjotha Express never had any benefit for the Modi gov't. In fact...

I had great respect for Mr. Kuldeep Nayar, but no more. For example, he wrote: "Before India was partitioned, he sent his close associate, Sadiq Sahib, who subsequently became the state chief minister, to Islamabad to get the feel of Pakistan. On returning, Sadiq reported to the Sheikh that...

An interesting article in Urdu. Even though I disagree with part of the narratives because some facts have been given journalistic "Spin" to make them more dramatic; the insight into Sh Abdullah appears to be correct. I recall reading in the 'Daily Imroze', the Urdu Daily we used to subscribe...

Honorable Sir, I fully sympathize with you and feel sorry for the people of Kashmir. However, anyone who thinks that Pakistan has kept quite is shutting his eyes from the fact that Pakistan has fought three wars (1948, 1965 & the Kargil) for the people of Kashmir and suffered a lot doing so...

Hon sir, You can blame Musharraf all you want, but the reason India gives for not accepting mediation is because in the Shimla Agreement of July 02, 1972 signed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto of Pakistan it was agreed that: “ That the two countries are...

Must we blame somebody for whatever is wrong with our policies? Don’t you think it is about time we stop the blame game and face the ground realities? Let me be blunt: Pakistan is neither strong enough nor likely to so in the near future to take Kashmir by force of arms. At this moment in...

I have heard the video and also read quite a few comments. It is clear that as always Zia remains controversial and divisive figure to this day. Even though military coup and the hanging of Bhutto happened while I was working in Kuwait, the 1976 elections and the Nizam-e-Mustafa movement were...

The Red Indian saying from the movies " White man speaks with fork tongue" applies to the 14 Senators who changed colors. But was that so "Unexpected"? In my humble opinion, the following article says all that is is needed to be said. Senate drama Editorial August 03, 2019 IT was a scene...

Sorry, this should have been "Celebrating". My typographical error.

Hon Batman, After the $600-million tied up for umpteen years in the previous F-16 deal and the fact that Trump stoped the 12 AH1Z helo deliveries, can any third world country like Pakistan ever trust the US to deliver even after the deal has been signed & the money paid in advance? I for one...

Sorry, don't trust the Trump or the USA. A most recent example of the US U-turn is the blocking of F-35 deliveries because Turkey purchased Russian S-400 Air Defence system and Turkey is a member of NATO! I shall believe it when I see these F-16's at a Pakistani airbase.

Boy meets girl, they fall in love and decide to tie the knot. Hassan Ali is from Punjab and Shamia Arzoo from Haryana, hence there is not like to be any clash in culture, language or eating habits. The name suggests that Shamia is also a Muslim; I fail to see the reason for all the fuss. IMO...

Regrettably, I have a very low opinion of Oria Maqbool Jan. He is against the ‘Polio Vaccination’. One must understand that all medicines, even minor procedure also minor injuries carry some risk. Any rational person would, therefore, evaluate the risk of side effect of medicine against the...

I have always admired the persons who achieve distinction due to their personal efforts & ability. IMO all males /females earning a name for themselves in any field are worth their weight in gold regardless of their religious beliefs or ethnicity. I am not alone in this thinking; it has been...

Honorable Nilgiri, I commend you on your post. I had come across the OHPI (Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative) quite recently and read a little bit about it because in my opinion the MPI (Multidimensional Poverty Index) is the development of the Human Development Index (HDI) which...

Is 'Naya Pakistan' is truthfully new? It is hard for a cynic like me to believe because most of the faces are in fact old faces with a new 'Adress'. Here is an article from Dawn of today. Like everyone else, the writer is also rather subjective, but still, most things therein mentioned are...
