I am still confused as to whether Cpec is an economic corridor with strategic benefits or a clandestine strategic project with economic growth as a side effect. Either way, its clearly benefitting Pakistan as is evident from all the western media screeching and hoopla. The eastern neighbour's...
I was reading someone's comment on Pakistan’s political climate in the backdrop of Cpec and China’s influence. The guy stated that China will want a stable and reliable government in Pakistan cuz that suits its interests. In other words, a totalitarian regime which has absolute power and more...
I am sharing the 68 page pdf version of a study by Asad Rafiq on Cpec. The guy is based in the US and the study was funded by an organisation based there. So should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Some thoughts on Lt Col Dhoni:
POSITIVES
- Brilliant white ball player
- Best exponent of the stumping I can recall at international level
- Very average Test skipper, except for that match at Lord's all those years ago where he allowed Ishant Sharma to bounce England out with a ball that was...
I and my forefathers, we were never subjugated to the British Raj as I belong to Swat, a formerly princely state from 1860s to 1969. Most contemporary Pakistanis and their parents were born in a free country. The ones before them in British Raj and that generation is mostly deceased. We have...
In sha Allah, provided india as a state survives another 20.
