Their ranks are mostly assigned on the basis of who can pay more and earn more. Imagine a sarkari department in Sindh--thats your American trained ANA/ANP.
Afghanistan needs Pakistan to survive. And Pakistan can't thrive without Afghanistan. Hope both populations realize this soon. There is no other solution-we can't keep playing puppet master forever or keep our border fenced forever. Things will boil over from Afghanistan in to Pakistan--be it...
Its not just us in Pakistan--entire South Asia, Africa and Middle East suffers from this complex. Ruling elite in our regions has managed to keep alive the colonial tradition of "everything local is shit". So here in Pakistan we have brown sahibs in bureaucracy, military and Government. And they...
Nai bhai. Do char chittar marnay hain puls ne. Treatment complete hojani hai.
Everyone in Pakistan has a culture of wielding guns. Walk in to any village in Punjab and everyone and their dog has an automatic weapon.
Not really--at least not anymore. Licenses are restricted and bullets are counted. That being said, a significant % of population is heavily armed already legally. Don't have exact numbers but going by the circle around me I'd say at least 70% rural households and minimum 40-50% urban households...
"PM's nephew" is only meant to grab headlines. This man is a notorious lawyer who was involved in attack on that hospital in Lahore as per news. And from what I have heard IK has no link to him since he became PM.

They arrested him without incident. 45 year old with mental issues. Hope he gets the help he needs.
To each their own but for me Karachi foods are too spicy. Heard a lot of Student Biryani back in 2010 or so and tried it. Lumps of spices. Literal lumps. Never again.
Now I am sure there are better places in Karachi so this is by no means a generalization.
Stating the obvious here, and this is why the US is so protective of USD. Imagine a legislator elected from Swabi, Pakistan presenting a bill to block transactions of two companies in the US. This is what the US can do--kill any company anywhere on the planet through legislation. Another example...
I think there is no shortage of policies, Government bodies and capacity in private sector. Focus should be on governance and implementation--judiciary and FBR need a massive overhaul and clean up. Otherwise our IT companies will keep their HQs in UAE/Ireland etc and bring peanuts back to...
Win win for both countries. I think Indian trainers will learn just as much from the Nigerians. Both are equally good aviators though I would give the Nigerians an edge as they operate in difficult terrain.
Dismantle this entire judicial system and start from scratch. Qazi (Chief Justice) should be under the Caliph (PM) in our system--people elect the PM and PM is the one who bears the brunt of injustice in society. Chief Justice in current system is not answerable to anyone--this needs to change.
Just watch desi liberals and Toon league brigade's behinds on fire after this. They'll be in more pain than actual Londoners after this statement.
You can disagree with IK on a lot of things but the man speaks his mind. His question is very valid; if you can choose to obliterate an entire...
If it were up to me then definitely yes. But seems like acquiring wealth and/or influence, legally or otherwise, earns you a lifetime exemption from taxation in our country. Everyone from truck drivers, lawyers, traders to ecommerce websites wants to live a tax free lifestyle.
This is one of the areas where PTI's performance has been even worse than previous Governments. Forget small/medium traders, what exactly is stopping them from going after big name shopping stores, malls, restaurants, pharmacies etc? Just in Pindi/Isb you have Savour foods, Tehzeeb, D Watson...
