Thank you Quaid-e-Azam is all we can say. Meanwhile the likes of Azad will be remembered like Sheikh Abdullah, desperately begging for acceptance and shunned by all at the end...

Brother all our countries are bound by certain economic chains. Sure there is a lot of propaganda against Iran but the same holds true for Turkey and Pakistan as well. Turkey has to navigate in a very difficult region where it is surrounded by enemies on all sides. One Turkish member here has...

I have issued you a warning for this post and not deleted it so others can see why. Calling countries names like this is not appropriate at all. The same barometer by which you are measuring Turkey can be applied on Iran as well. Iran has been close buddies with India for decades despite Indias...

The debate on the role the English language can play is certainly very interesting with sound arguments on both sides. There are ample examples of nations who have developed in the modern era without adopting the English language en masse. South Korea and China are the obvious examples. However...

Bingo! I did part of my secondary education in Pakistan and the other in Sweden. I was an A+ in Pakistan but suddenly became a C-D student in Sweden. When I spoke to my teachers about this they explained that I knew all the facts but provided no depth or understanding of the facts. Merely...

Indeed the Taliban have had relations with Iran, Russia and China for many years. They simply have too strong a hold on the rural areas of Afghanistan for regional nations to simply ignore them no matter how dislikable they are. Reality is reality at the end of the day and what is going on at...

Good to hear. An escalation of violence causes a headache for both Iran and Pakistan in the form of refugees. Hopefully the Kabul government gets off its high horse and a diplomatic settlement is reached, which it seems is something that all regional countries desire barring India.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar keen to invest in Pakistan museums, says Zulfi Zulfi Bukhari said the management of Lahore Museum would be given under the control of Archeology Department and a board would also be formed in that regard. ISLAMABAD: Saudi Arabia and Qatar were keen to invest in museums of...

More like he used Marathas against his local enemies whether they be SIkhs or Afghans, similar to how he used the Afghans against the Mughals. Marathas were a world away in Central India and so he did not have to worry about them ever being able to exercise any actual control in the Indus/Punjab...

Good, the Iranians dealt with this issue far better than us. Letting millions of refugees into your country without any checks and balances is a recipe for disaster. The Turkish model is also worth looking at. They have partially dealt with the Syrian refugee crises by establishing a zone within...

1) its remote, barely any roads exist although the Chinese are building one to their border at the moment. 2) The Wakhis who inhabit the region are Ismailis and unlikely to be supporters of Taliban rule. If the Taliban want I suppose they can easily take it from the ANA but they are more...

Most surprised at the claims that the Taliban are controlling areas traditionally held by Dostum and his militia in the north bordering Uzbekistan and Turkemnistan (provinces such as Faryab and Jowzjan). The blue area in the center is Hazara territory and hardly a surprise. Apart from that it...

Dont have high hopes there. Ultimately opposition forces will use Islamic-brotherhood rhetoric for political point scoring purposes unless he lets them in. There will be huge diplomatic pressure from foreign governments and NGO also who will work together with our anti-state forces to malign...

Agreed. Qureishi is hinting here to FATF that if we don't get off the grey list next time then our next course of action will be to discredit this organisation. Good that he has mentioned this first and taken a diplomatic approach. However if FATF continues to single out Pakistan again then we...

US foreign policy in Asia is a joke since the unipolar days following the collapse of the Soviet Union. It's riddled with arrogance and hubris and nothing good will come out of this in the end for Washington. In the context of Asia it has placed all its eggs in one basket, India and Japan...

Hope you have a full recovery!

Afghanistan claims roughly half of Pakistans land. Their "Greater Afghanistan" is similar to the Greek "Megali Idea". Kabul has in the past worked with the Russians and India to undermine Pakistan whenever possible. They were the only country to vote against Pakistans admission in the United...

The situation has changed somewhat since then. For example Belgrade today has growing ties with Turkey, the major Muslim power in the Balkans. Increasing their reliance on us and Turkey also ensures we can play a role in controlling Serbia should another war breakout in the Balkans and they get...

Correct me if I am wrong but have not exports been increasing consistently in recent years (https://www.pbs.gov.pk/sites/default/files//tables/rename-as-per-table-type/14.01.pdf). Hardly my area of expertise so open to correction but this increase has been running simultaneously as the rupee was...

1 was excellent in my opinion. I was extremely impressed by how they managed to turn a WW1 era game into something exciting. It also sold exceedingly well (25 million copies), which is by far the most in the Battlefiled series. 5 I did not bother with, it looked bad from the beginning. As for...
