I have been a student of ancient history of the Middle & the Near East, for quite awhile. To the best of my info, the ancient Jewish Kingdom began with the Joshua (Yushae in Arabic) sometimes around 1200 BC (?) and was at its peak during the time of David & Solomon (circa 1000BC), broke up...

Israel has being a member of the United Nations since May 11, 1949 and whether we like it or not, in addition to the all major world powers, quite a few Muslims countries including Turkey, Egypt, Sudan, Jordan, Morocco, UAE & Bahrain have diplomatic relations with Israel. As rational human...

Lets us not put blame or try to find fault as to why Pakistan lost tonight. No one can control the 'Toss' and the Pakistan started with the disadvantage of losing it. In 20/20 game minor events such as a couple of good overs or dropping a crucial catch can be the deciding factor. This is...

Brailvey jinn came out of the bottle when so many in Pakistan turned the cold blooded killer Mumtaz Qadri into a 'Saint'. Main problem is that all Pakistani political leaders, when in opposition, exploit the problems created by miscreants no matter how wrong without giving any consideration...

Pakistan is borrowing hell of a lot of money from China under CPEC which has to be repaid sooner or later. Additionally, CPEC has international ramifications because USA sees China as the main adversary, forcing Pakistan to walk on a tight rope; keeping USA neutral while keeping closing...

Since I am now retired my info is a bit out of date. To the best of my knowledge Indian had signed and 8.5-milion ton contract in 199 which expires at the end of 2028. At $60/bbl crude the LNG price came to between $8 - $9 per MMBtu “The decision to discuss Indian demand is a clampdown for...

Dear Sir, I agree you have a point but you should also realize that that time when a contract is concluded is important because the price is governed by the prevalent market conditions. No one has a crystal ball and you cannot wait for the right time to conclude contract because the demand...

At least now all those critics whose assumed that Khaqan Abbasi foolishly tied GOP to expensive long term contract, would realise why countries and companies enter into long term supply contracts. And that the base load fuel of most power plants is covered by term contract primarily to ensure...

One can understand why IMF puts such onerous pre-conditions. All banks, even the individuals want to ensure that you would be able to return their funds and are capable of paying the interest before they transfer the cash. My mortgage company had even insisted that I take on a ‘Repayment...

Hon Sir, If you really believe that Afghan team is a better team than Indian cricket team then you are ignoring all the previous record and achievements of the Indian until now. If for some freak accident, New Zealand team also loses to Afghanistan then you would think that matched is fixed...

Being retired, I have been watching most of the matches including Afghanistan vs India. I have read most of the comments and am deepl6y disappointed with some of posts by my compatriots. Must we as bad and unreasonable as the Hindutva goons? Where is our sportsman spirit? India had won all...

Most Honourable Sir, As a student of history, I am convinced that 'meat' was eaten by the followers of Hindu religion. In the epic 'Mahabharata' during the time when Pando family was forced to live in the forest, the deer leader complained to Yudishter that Bhima is eating too many deer's and...

Firstly, let us understand that 'Food' or cuisine has no religion thus there is no such thing as Hindu, Muslim or Christian food. One can however say that all 'Halal' food is Muslim food. Therefore Middle Eastern, Turkish, Iranian, Afghan, Central Asian, Malaysian, Pakistani & Bangla Deshi...

Regret to say that it is not a 'Face saving' for both the parties. Instead it is a clear message from Imran Khan that he is the 'Boss' and that he only decided in favour of the Army's choice after ensuring that the new DG ISI was up to the mark. The delay of almost a month also emphasises that...

I watched the match and enjoyed it thoroughly because Indian team was soundly crushed. However there is no need to go overboard. Despite this being a grudge match, it was only the first match. There are no easy matches in an international 20 over match and our next target should be to head the...

I have just heard on the 'Tolo News' Afghan Govt' Aviation spokesman saying in Farsi that PIA had unreasonably increased their ticket prices from Kabul to Islamabad & Karachi (from $150 & $300 one way to $1,500 & $2,500). Until such time that PIA reduces the prices to reasonable levels, PIA...

Honourable Sir, It is now 74 years that Pakistan came into being, no one remains 'Muhajir' was 3 generations. Besides all those who came from East Punjab are also muhajirs. Don't you think it is about time that we treat all simply as Pakistanis? If absolutely necessary, I would differentiate...

Since Khadim Hussain Rizvi is dead, I wouldn't want to insult him but please be rational. How can one equate a rebel rouser with someone who earned 2 'Nishaane Imtiaz' and one 'Hillale Imtiaz'? Regret to say that taking the name of Khadim Hussain Rizvi and Dr Qadeer Khan in the same breath is...

We should not worry about what BBC , CNN, Israeli TV or Indians say about him. He was a "Pakistani" hero and what he has done cannot be undone. In this particular case, nothing else matters.

I was extremely sad to hear the news that he is no longer among the living. Admittedly, no body lives for ever and 85 is a ripe old age but it would have been good to have a man of his calibre grace the nation with his presence for a few more years. I pray with all my heart that Allah...
