Japanese have a near monopoly in car sales, time to send a message and boycott their brands.

There is no doubt that the West wants India as a tool to contain or control China’s influence. But I think some in Pakistan should realise that the economy is the centre of discussion here, we know about the atrocities in Kashmir, but at the end of the day we in Pakistan also need to have a...

But why not continue the operation once you have started, why end it halfway once you have taken all the hits from sanction threats & blowback. All for a promise by the Russians, who will obviously always look after their interest.

Wow, Turkey got all that bad press and threat of sanctions at the beginning of the operation. But for what, it seems no objective was secured because YPG have just gone under Assad and continue to do car bombings & attacks on a weekly basis. Also Russia has established new bases on the border...

This is why I think the fear of the West regarding Xinjiang is that it will become developed and this could benefit Pakistan, Central Asia too with the trade & economic links. As China invests so many billions in the region, its a win-win for Pakistan too as allies.

Yes, we actually do need democracy in the Islamic world. It may not be a perfect system in Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey or Malaysia but it shows that if you give some say to the population then they are much stronger socially than say the Egypt or Syrian repressive systems & military rule. Once...

The GCC ‘leaders’ have literally no shame, why not just invite each European country to set up a base and they can go back to their parties and luxury lifestyles.

Unbelievable that we are even below Somalia in Halal food industry.

And Halal Food export is a completely untapped market in Pakistan. India & even China have a bigger share of the halal market which is shameful.

Exactly, an oil or gas field is not fixed obviously like a coal source, so if the field extends over the border, then if one side is drilling then it is inevitable that will deplete the resource. I hope an expert can shed more light on this, but the fact that they are drilling an oil field just...

I’m not disagreeing, I’m just asking why exactly aren’t we doing something on our side?

While it may be sensationalism to think oil can move underground from one territorial ground to another the fact that India is drilling the Tatot Block just 10km from the border should ring alarm bells. 10km is insignificant and an oil field could stretch far beyond the border. The fact that...

ISLAMABAD: The Hydrocarbon Exploration Licensing Policy (HELP), a vital document about way forward to self-sufficiency in oil and gas sector authored by an eminent energy expert Engineer Arshad H Abbasi associated with SDPI has pinpointed that Pakistan authorities have so far ignored the area...

Wow, so even Pakistani Basmati has now been tarnished by the laziness & unprofessionalism of our industries? What will it take for them to stop exporting raw materials at dirt cheap rates, and let enemy countries package them and make the bulk of the profits? It is treason.

Sikhs made a grave mistake in 1947 and now pay the price of being absorbed piece by piece into a Hindutva India.

Also they are trying to completely whitewash their dirty history, especially in regards to how Hindu kings crushed Buddhists, and there are even well substantiated research showing many Hindu temples were built over Buddhist monuments themselves. So their own dodgy victim mentality needs to...

But that’s not what they say or mean. The Hinduism practiced today, especially as they are trying to transform it into a unitary type faith modelled on Abrahamic religions, is nothing compared to the type of syncretic faith it was back thousands of years ago. As others have said the region, had...

So essentially modern day Hindu revisionists are re writing history when they claim ‘everyone’ in South Asia was once Hindu? It is also therefore true that Hindu empires & rule wiped out Buddhist culture?

Why did Buddhism decline in South Asia? I have actually read following the Babri Mosque demolition case, that many Hindu temples are built over Buddhist monuments.

The Gulf is counting cash as usual and doesn’t say anything.
