Maintenance of cultural and linguistic identity is different from the maintenance of sovereignty (self-rule), which was your primary argument I presume? It seems that the Arabs in the beginning completely dominated the Persians as far as rulership is concerned and subsequently Turks also took...

I did say Chughtai tribe --> descendants of Chughtai Khan, son of Genghis Khan --> Mongol.

A bacterial infection.

Pakistan did not exist prior to August 14th, 1947. Therefore it could never have lived under the shadow of India. You perhaps mean the Muslims of the subcontinent. Turks have not always ruled Turks and Persians have not always ruled Persians. Turks of modern-day Turkey are not native to the...

100% agree with improving naval capabilities. In fact, I do not agree with the thought that PN should be a littoral (brown water) force. PN at the minimum should be a green-water force, capable of operating in the entire Sindhu Sagar (aka the Arabian Sea and ), Middle Eastern waters, and the...

BAF inherited some F-86 that were deployed in East Pakistan upon BD's independence. PAF gifted F-6 to BAF, which were destroyed in a cyclone.

Without going into whether the news is Real or Fake, the Khaleej Times indeed appears to be filled with Indians who regularly spew negative news about Pakistan.

Oh! Couldn't you have just used a proper language? You came off a little bullish there. But to answer your question, no I was never bullied in school, nor ever have I ever bullied anyone.

We do qualify for the MTCR and at times we have shown interest in joining the regime. But whenever the time is ripe we decide to sit out on it, much like the Chinese do. I think a similar approach has been adopted for WA as well. Meanwhile, India has found its way into both regimes. We are...

& in the process get sanctioned by the US and infuriate the KSA. Additionally, I think an SSN/SSBN are resource-draining and overkill items, especially for countries focusing on regional deterrence or dominance, and they would not be viable unless Iran is indeed planning on acquiring nuclear...

I do not think PAF plans to engage with IAF in a quantitative arms competition. Holding all things constant, it's virtually not possible to do so. We would remain numerically inferior for the foreseeable future. Block-III is a qualitative development of a platform designed to provide...

This is a good read. Should put things in perspective for just about everyone. ----------------------------- Flankers vs Gripens: What Happened at the Falcon Strike 2015 Exercise? A Chinese test pilot’s lecture in December 2019 about the exercise sparked renewed discussion over the details...

Short (probable) answer: There would be more countries in the region, none of them being Pakistan, Hindustan, BD, etc.

Motorbikes should be banned everywhere, especially in South Asia. They are a traffic nuisance and also aid in crimes. While we are at it, also ban the Suzuki Pickup/High Roof.

If the next skirmish is going to take place any time soon, then the chances of seeing Tejas in action would be grim keeping in mind that the aircraft has not yet gone through proper weapons integration and testing.

Imran was pretty fair. People from Northern parts of KP province and GB are generally very fair, and some have European (Greek) & Central Asian lineage. Pakistanis are generally fair and Shaheen Shah Afridi's complexion is not a rare one in the country and neither is hair colour.

There are essentially two ports in Karachi: Port of Karachi (administered by Karachi Port Trust or KPT) and Port Qasim. What you are referring to are terminals located within the Port of Karachi. Hutchison's Pakistan Deep Water Container Port is one of such terminals. Others are Pakistan...
