No one will give you money. In hard times, you only can depend on your own people. There are 10 million Pakistanis living abroad. They are your best bet. 1) Impose a NICOP/Passport yearly tax. This should result in an immediate inflow of dollars 2) Develop thar coal mines on a war footing. This...

You have a fair point. Bangla, Malay and Indonesians were spared in both spikes. Pakistanis got it pretty bad in both spikes. Genghis khan constructed his tallest tower of human skulls near Jehlum, punjab. On the other hand, the TLP is still killing people.

from a western perspective it is germany that has let the west down. It is the old prussia vs other's thinking. The germans ceded the solar industry to china, in addition to this they did a lot of valuable tech transfer. They re-built the russian oil/gas industry They have no need for naval...

japan started car assembly in Pakistan in the 80s. They never transferred any tech. Have been milking the country for 40 years now. Take Take Take. Now through their cartels they want the same subsidies for gas powered cars as electric cars. The country needs a visionary leader. There is fear...

Every American should recite a thousand times the following: "behind every social upheaval lies an intellectual crisis". Numbers do not lie: Neither Pakistanis nor American's understand why these two spikes happened: Number of Muslims killed, unit * = 100K 620-720 C.E * 720-820 C.E **...

A rail line along the mekran coastal highway would be an excellent addition. A fast train which could connect karachi and gwadar would really help. Connecting gwadar and dubai via rail link could have enormous benefits. If Karachi dubai rail trip could be cut down to 5-6 hours, it would be a...

If taxation is fixed in the country that alone can fix the issues: Look at the housing market alone: The Pakistan real estate market is worth 400 billion dollars. I heard that the average price of house in affluent areas in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi is above 1 million USD. Why don't we tax...

I don't think 1 and 2 can be done by private sector. The other problem is there is lack of data. If 1 and 2 are indeed done via legislation, how much money are we talking about per year? What is the expat population? How much money will 1 bring in?

its really heart breaking to see an airline which can make soo much money in dire straits. I guess common sense is not that common. If you look at the expat community you see that PIA has solid customer base, folks who can only fly PIA. This includes older expat and women with children and...

which is the most profitable route for pia right now? Is it Canada? Doesn't australia have a similar sized pak expat population as Canada?

There is money to be made here. 1) Take the middle east for example. Millions of subcontinent workers are employed in the persian gulf. Yet there is no high speed rail link which connects Dubai with Karachi/Mumbai. Most of these workers are low income workers. They would prefer a cheaper train...

The biggest problem the west has it that their multi national companies are not willing to work in dangerous areas. No company is willing to build pipelines in troubled countries. The only country willing to do that is china and perhaps russia. Thus these are the only two countries with a hope...

This war on terror needs to wind down. The US needs to focus on China and other more pressing issues. Oil is not important and its importance will continue to diminish. Muslim countries have normalised relations with Israel. There is a general threat to the world built by the Abrahimic...

Saying no to Islam also means saying no to Knowledge. Philosophy is important - if you don't philosophise then others will philosophise for you. Capitalism, free markets, etc are ideas with philosophic roots. As Alama Iqbal warned: "I would like to offer a few pieces of advice to the young...

Its a fair point. However, it does not help/change your current situation. You can either become their bitch or make nice with your neighbours.
