After destroying the social fabric of India through his extremist policies, Narendra Modi is also failing his country on all diplomatic fronts. Surprisingly, Modi enjoyed good relations with his neighbours during the start of his first tenure, but his second tenure is marred with controversies, both on the national and international front. There was a […]

The whole health system of India was completely collapsed when it was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. There was an acute shortage of oxygen supply and patients couldn’t get access to beds in hospitals. Some horrible scenes were witnessed during the pandemic in India as poor patients were treated in the rickshaws and outside the […]

The Kartarpur initiative is just another example that shows how Pakistan is willing to go the extra mile to create an atmosphere of peace in the subcontinent while India is bent upon sabotaging all such plans. The last resting place of the founder of the Sikh religion had been lost in oblivion for the longest […]

It would be safe to assume that the Pakistani army stands head and shoulders above many institutions. It is, by far, the best trained, most disciplined and committed institution with a very clear and inviolable chain of command. Retaining only those officers that prove themselves fit at every stage and simply weeding out the rest […]

With great power comes great responsibility. The highest offices demand a high degree of duty but there is no such mantra in Modi’s government in India. Earlier, it had orchestrated a drama in Pakistan’s Balakot area while claiming how hundreds of “militants” were killed. Later, the whole story proved to be fake news as their […]

Claiming to be the world’s largest democracy, India is fast becoming the most vulnerable country for minorities, especially Muslims.

Their homes are put on fire while they are being labelled as traitors under the […]

A sharp increase in the incidents of militancy and violence in the last few days in Afghanistan is an alarm bell for both regional and international players. The bloodshed at Kabul airport, the barbarism in Kunduz, the suicide bombings in Kandahar and some other incidents of violence in Jalalabad and Mazar-i-Sharif are more than enough […]

The laurels heaped on the late Dr AQ Khan after his passing, especially the much-deserved state funeral with full honours, was another reminder of how lucky Pakistan has been to have this brave son of the soil. The marvellous story of how he abandoned a life of luxury in Europe and took the initiative to […]

The highly professional Pakistan Army is, undoubtedly, the most vigorous and organised in the world. There is a set procedure of promotions, postings and reshufflings in the Pakistan Army. No one can even think of promotions or postings by using the influence of any high-ups, unlike other institutions. Such reshufflings take place as per the […]

Perhaps the most relevant, and also the most overlooked, outcome of the Afghan war is that the Taliban have reminded the world of the true meaning of the concept of jihad. For, even as the whole world is waxing eloquent about how Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires, and how it sent the mightiest superpowers […]
