    Why some in Pakistan want to replace Jinnah as the founder of the country with an 8th century Arab

    These people are around and in considerable number. They don't hold much sway in the general populace but if you want to find them, start with talking to the kids in IJT, that'll lead you to bigger fish.

    Pakistan again under pressure to join Saudi coalition

    I went for an iftar to a Pakistani restaurant a couple of days back and saw a couple of Pak navy guys tearing apart chicken botis with typical fauji zeal. i was surprised to see them as Riyadh is not a coastal city. No idea what they were doing there.

    Naya KPK thread has a lot of info. Also, if you follow Pakistani current affairs on twitter or electronic media, you'd find wealth of information.

    This is why Madrassas should be Banned from Pakistan. (Video)'s.

    The second clip is full of ignorant generalizations and seem to be more anti-pak than tackling the issue of Madrassa education.

    200 Year Old Temples Destroyed So That Jaipur Can Have Its Metro

    Neither a mosque nor a temple should be destroyed. Why should progress come at the cost of losing heritage?

    A year on from Zarb i Azb : How much has changed ?

    KPK has introduced some landmark reforms in the police which is one of the most, if not the most important institution when it comes to capitalizing on the gains made by the military. It's not perfect but the ball has started to roll and it is rolling in the right direction.

    Imran Khan terms Modi’s election win 'unfortunate' for India!

    Pretty close, like Zia he has a very defined idea of what india should be and its very rigid and exclusive. What's worse are the people he's surrounded himself with, they'll be the cause of his downfall. Unfortunately, I'd disagree with that from first hand experience. There are people on both...

    Thunders to participate in Paris airshow 2015 June.

    I hope the PAF has gotten its act together after multiple disasters and seriously worked on safeguarding its assets. Ideally, there should be some kind of a no-build zone around all sensitive installations specially the airports to avoid rocket attacks and birds which feed on the garbage around...

    Is the fence in the background the only perimeter security in place? It looks awfully easy to navigate around.

    Suspect sent to jail for damaging temple statues

    The religious rights of all Non-Muslims living in an Islamic state are protected and they have freedom to practice their religion if they pay the Jaziya. Now before you go nuts on Jaziya, Non-Muslims pay it because they don't pay Zakat which Muslims do. Any other taxes would be equally...

    Central commander of United Baloch Army surrenders.

    I'm going out on a limb here but if someone from Thar came to Islamabad today and found out how much we spent on the metro while his children die of malnutrition and unclean drinking water, he'd be enraged and people are. And I would understand why some people show animosity towards the state of...

    Why are Indians ready for a deal with Dhaka but wary of Islamabad?

    You can tell from the first sentence of the article that it's going to be all bullshit. It wasn't a Muslim League british project, the partition occurred because the congress refused to accept and honor the cabinet mission plan. Up until 1946, ML wanted a united India, it was the congress and...

    India suppresses Kashmiri Muslims, holds sham elections at gun-point: FO

    You're not getting it, are you? Elections are overseen by the EC but conducted by the people who work for different institutions and represent the society. Are all those institutions corruption free and held in high esteem? Can you say the same about the Indian police? When a society is not...

    India suppresses Kashmiri Muslims, holds sham elections at gun-point: FO

    (Even if we did, we would have more credibility to say something like that, given that all our elections are held at world standards, and satisfies all international observer elections at every level in J-K are completely free and fair, and they have as much political representation andd...

    India suppresses Kashmiri Muslims, holds sham elections at gun-point: FO

    First, pls try to be a lil concise. Second, I will have trouble taking your opinion seriously if you believe that things could be perfect. Nothing in this world is black and white, rather it is different shades of gray. The more you go around, the more you notice that.

    Reviving the reading culture

    Great idea! Maybe we can use this thread to talk about the books we are reading and do a lil review of them. Turn this into an online book club. Might be a good idea to change the thread title to PDF book club. Obviously, you and I would be credited as the founders :P
