    The Fifth Best Dressed Leader of All Time is Muhammad Ali Jinnah

    Ataturk!! He showed the way which none were able to travel so far. One should wonder whether it takes an Ataturk each for each country to be out of their mess they are in. Sadly there are few and far between. Even today, Turkey is the only liberal country I can see except may be Iran(where the...

    The Fifth Best Dressed Leader of All Time is Muhammad Ali Jinnah

    Sorry bro. He was being sarcastic. Read through his post again. I too believe Jinnah did good for India. He kept troublesome states out of India, militarizing the region making us strong from outsiders at least true for India, true for Pakistan vis-a-vis Afghanistan/Iran. All the Nawabs with...

    China urges Pakistani leaders to resolve issues over CPEC project

    My point is that if Pakistani government itself is calling the Western corridor insecure, then which outsiders will bother using it? Especially when there is an eastern route?

    China urges Pakistani leaders to resolve issues over CPEC project

    You are talking from a perspective that since KP and Balochistan don't even have a road, first let them get the road. Since Punjab is already more developed it should get next level projects. But that is not being fair. All provinces should be dragged along with Punjab to the next level. If...

    the urdu language script learning thread

    The Greeks used Rho for R and that does not look very similar to Hindi Ra. So this new R must have come not from Greek or Old Italic. See even Russian R sound looks like P because it came from Rho.

    China urges Pakistani leaders to resolve issues over CPEC project

    Investments are typically encouraged in backward areas with tax incentives and infrastructure support by government. Here the opposite is happening. Government is saying: I am giving you a safer option through Punjab, effectively cutting down the potential of KPK and Balochistan. Instead a...

    China urges Pakistani leaders to resolve issues over CPEC project

    At some level all corridors need security. Once an Eastern alternative is present, the Western option will be set aside under the same concerns of security by future governments.
