Furthermore, if I could add. This is essentially a Pakistani military website, not a world military or political affairs one. Though our policy is clear in that everyone (including our old rivals, the Indians) is given a fair and equal platform to express their views as long as they're within...

From what I've read, and this is only an unspoken truth in Indian military-political circles, that due to the fact that mobilization won't take nearly as long as it did before, the politicians won't be able to go cold feet by the time Indian forces have massed for a major confrontation at the...

Here go all the articles, information, commentary, particulars, analysis and discussions about India's developing new military doctrine. Members are encouraged to post content relevant to Cold Start here. If any discussions regarding the concept have taken place on other threads then please...

Like AM pointed out, you're jumping the gun with this. Its likely that the way you're interpreting events didn't happen. You'd have motivated individuals who'd like nothing more than to harp on something like this, but Malik did point out that this is not the case and he chastised reporters for...

Rehman Malik is not an elected representative. Selected by the president would be the more appropriate term. There is no need to get overboard with this, for all we know it could've been a genuine error on part of the military staff, as opposed to an intentional display of indifference or...

hello fox.

Dude the Palestinians can't make tanks. I think he meant Pakistanis.

That is quite an exaggeration. The army is the single most powerful and respected institution in Pakistan. Indeed no Pakistani politician is stupid enough to disregard their opinion or potential given that they've overthrown civilian governments numerous times and that too with widespread...

Just goes to show, doesn't it? What he and his staff have been up to. The Americans know that they need to secure an alliance with Pakistan, atleast for the time being. The money they're supposedly giving hasn't been for free, we're not being paid for being spectators in the American lead WoT...

Hello. You said you wanted to learn about current affairs. Then this place is perfect for you. Just read, observe and learn. Comment when you feel like you have something to contribute too. Also, I've shifted your thread to the introduction section. Please be careful to start threads in the...

I was watching the NewsEye program on Dawn News right now and a PML-Q politician read out from Hussain Haqqani's book and even I was shocked at how explicitly he had called for America to use its aid as a 'lever' to influence Pakistani domestic affairs. Its possible that Mr. Haqqani might not...

I think what happened was fairly obvious. The likes of Hussain Haqqani who is supposed to be our point man in Washington can hardly be expected to demonstrate some opposition to the tone or wordings of this bill. Given that he himself spent the last 7-8 years before he joined the government...

Even if they did meet it would be unfair to blame General Kayani because after all Kayani didn't visit Shahbaz but Shahbaz visited Kayani. Maybe Sharif has something 'important' to say and Kayani could hardly have told the GHQ to 'pretend that he is not home'. Kayani has in no way been ambitious...

Link this allegation to a neutral or non-Indian source or I'll close the thread.

I think what the author is trying to say is that he doesn't see it happening. The lawyers' movement did claim a lot of utopian things like sudden relief to the people, immediate action and campaigning that would reach the lower levels. We've seen none of that, in fact the author sees things...

Inaccurate sir. What you're referring to is crude Indian propaganda that has been debunked here. http://www.defence.pk/forums/pakistans-war/33987-diversion-us-aid-indian-propaganda-exposed.html

Over the next few weeks, Barack Obama must make the most difficult decision of his presidency to date: whether or not to send up to 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan, as his commanding general there, Stanley McChrystal, has reportedly proposed. This summer, Mr. Obama described the effort in...

The lawyers’ movement has given no relief to the people seeking redress, nor has it made the procedure for the appointment of judges any fairer. This is not just the viewpoint of a sceptical columnist who has felt all along that neither would come about by agitating on the streets. It is...

I don't think they knew there was a camera there. It seems to be a mobile phone discreetly used to film the scene.

I think pakdefender's translation has made the situation pretty clear. Despite the graphic and dramatic nature of the video, a closer look revealed that it was tightly controlled and monitored procedure. These were not acts of mindless rage or spite, there was a purpose behind it and even that...
