Yes it was indeed. It gave India an out. India had created such a hysteria that they would have been under immense pressure to expand the war had Pakistan hit the depot.

I do not believe that this decision was based on religious reasons, and the purported desire to keep the ummah together. It was based on realpolitik, and financial considerations. It was a tough decision, and their are costs either way. But I think given Pakistan's current financial situation...

What do you think we're doing. We are working on our country. Financial deals, cultural links, diplomacy - all of these things are needed to build the country. It is presumptuous of you to pontificate.

Don't take the bait.

I come across this term "son of soil" every once in a while. What does it even mean? Do people grow from the soil like trees? If you go back far enough, everyone came from somewhere else. What gives one group the right to claim a land as their own, to the exclusion of others. This mentality is...

I would rather listen to Ali Sethi :)

There are literally millions of Pakistani women working outside of the three professions you have mentioned. Whether there are enough of them at higher positions is a different story. That is not including the majority of women who work at home, raising children and doing household work. They...

Have you been to Pakistan?

You must have somehow gotten mixed up in your replies. Because that was not a reply to my post.

One has nothing to do with the other. Even if India were to become the most industrialized and wealthy country in the world, the bill would still be a negation of India's supposed secular credentials. It is unacceptable to punish your own citizens for the "sins" of others. Islamic...

Is that the President? Interesting. Did not know he could handle firearms, or was even interested.

I think the OP is trying to highlight the fact that the negative rating was during the last government. It would have been helpful if he had included the date of this story's publication, which is Jun 7, 2018. Though I do not see the value of repeating the same message over and over again. I...

If they do something you disagree with, you question their competence, integrity, and legitimacy. If they do something you agree with, you say, "what took them so long? They're too slow!". This attitude is not helpful.

This is a voluntary, anonymous survey. No need to get testy.

What are you talking about?

That is also my understanding. Farogh Naseem clarified in his press conference that it is the government that has been given 6 months to amend the law, in order to legalize the COAS's extension of tenure. The title of this thread should be changed. It is absurd that even after the...

Leading economist slams World Bank’s unjust arbitration fine on Pakistan Jeffrey D Sachs has joined a rising number of economists who say the World Bank’s arbitration system for commercial disputes is flawed. Prominent economist Jeffrey D Sachs has added his voice to concerns that a World...

That may well be the case. This is what I wrote in another thread:

This could have been rectified administratively, without all the brouhaha. After all, this is not the first time the COAS's tenure has been "extended". But it looks like the courts were trying to embarrass the government publicly. I can only think of two reasons: First, it has effectively...
