Mir Jumla, interesting name! And a king offering his kin to the harem of Moguls as a tribute, price of peace‽ Mighty? Indeed!

"Most" men are not predators. "Most" men will abstain given the opportunity. Of those "most" few may take a chance given the circumstance or vulnerability. Confined spaces, otherness and "natural" desires mandate a coercive thought process... suppressing innate human instinct, male instinct...

There is a reason why everyone tries to out do the other in what is their "perception" of good, decent and moral. The problem with western thought is the context... context is lost on innuendo, grandstanding and projection. A lot of conflicting "values" upend each other. A competition of...

No! Lineage is delineated. Quraish or Banu Kinanah are not linked to Yemen in any way.

Counterintuitive, nature of modern money... Humans by nature would assume and rightfully so that recompense of their labor must yield them a higher reward. Thus, sum or add-on value paid in a paper currency is an automatic profit, an addition. A modern paradox. Fiat currency actually loses...

What majority of Pakistanis assume a great economy is more of smokes and mirrors. It has more to do with aesthetics and consumption. That done on the backs of indentured labor working long hours on factory floors without much fanfare... dying early deaths and suffering a lifetime of pain, health...

Obfuscation, Slight of hand, trickery, smokes and mirrors... call it what you may. For centuries kings ruled with a clique of loyal subordinates who derived their own respect and power by being dutifully obedient. Something perhaps changed when royals of a certain land allowed it's peasants to...

Parallel paradigm... project destruction on someone else, in so far past as colonialism itself. Huh? So, Brits onward all invasions of Afghanistan have Pakistan to blame? Misery and destruction of past several decades and invasions of a landlocked country, neighbor to blame? Both invasions...

Dishonest and disingenuous! He's heard say as much... even the relationship with Dina, at best transactional. Even after she separated, didn't return back nor accepted as a family, nor became one... only arriving at his death. The only argument, "only argument" that is brought to refute this is...

Other than his(Jinnah's) obvious accomplishment, he would have garnered obvious secular acclaim had he accepted his (only)daughter's marriage with a zoro. Instead he disowned her... his own daughter. There is no debate just verbal diarrhea. Question today's seculars and ask them of this very...

When Pakistan cedes control of it's printer... control over inflation, A taxation by any standard... cedes it's sovereignty. The puppets play to the puppet master. The clowns perform circus acts... illusions, optics and dreams, big talk of rights making mountain out of a mole hill. Remember...

Mumbo-jumbo! Do it once over, be coherent and do tell me what you actually understood from my quoted statement. Perhaps some insights on your wiring will give me a better clue... deductions you extrapolate.

What numbers don't tell is that U.S. is the worst country by far to be a woman. In this there is no political divide... a woman could be from any socioeconomic or political background, they are equally abused, mistreated, harassed, grabbed and worse... domestic violence calls are amongst the...

One of the most depressing countries in the world are Scandinavian... Danes probably don't even know what happy means... stiff, rude, judgmental, depressed, egomaniacs filled with pretense(here's a line to chew at, "depression is the most burdensome desease in Denmark"). There are every shade of...

Such naivete... such euphoria... Rashtra egging on pseudo history and Indian vedic grandstanding will not just melt away by cajoling, kowtowing and appeasement. The majoritarian dream and imperial state of India and it's behavior are resultant factors, ones deeply embedded in the state psyche...

I do not want to go into a drawn out argument, suffice to say that Islam allows one's tribal and language identity as a form of recognition/introduction. Qur'an (49:13) "O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another...

Why shouldn't there be... it is very well recorded besides Jews themselves agree to a first temple period and a second temple period.

Ethnicity is identity... Baradari is identity... language is identity... These are natural identities and constituencies, take these away and you have a superficial state. The common cause of Pakistan is already strong in Islam. Let, these allegiances of brotherhood steadfast on the common core...

A family is and had been the smallest political unit, a collaborative and a safe space. An acceptable arrangement of society for reproduction and equal stakes in success of it's constituents, where there is equal effort and will... where parents can safely assume responsibility of safety, upkeep...

Grounded enlightenment! Pakistan hasn't even started bearing the fruits of a duplicitous and imported ethos grounded in foreign cultures on their experiences, good or bad and their endeavors to mitigate consequences. Pakistanis of a specific brand will always find themselves on shaky grounds...
