The prolonged Indian occupation has terribly damaged the mental health of Kashmiris. The psychological agony in the valley runs deep, yet the world’s attention has largely remained elsewhere. Humanity in Kashmir, at the hands of Hindutva, is as wounded as it is in Palestine under Zionist oppression. Over a hundred thousand people have lost their […]
Hindutva and Zionism: A Threat to Muslim Civilization
The growing strategic understanding between Narendra Modi and Benjamin Netanyahu is a civilizational and geopolitical threat to the Muslim world. The ongoing military confrontation involving direct Israeli attacks on Iran has intensified regional instability and confirms the dangerous direction of this alliance. What is unfolding before the world is the convergence of Hindutva and Zionist […]
Terrorism, Counter Terrorism and Post Terrorism
Pakistan’s recent cross-border strikes were driven by necessity. The situation had reached a point where Pakistan could no longer rely on restraint as a response to continuing attacks planned and launched from sanctuaries across the Afghan border. With repeated assaults targeting Pakistani civilians and security personnel, there was no practical option left but to act. […]
CPI 2025: Pakistan Moves Forward
Corruption cannot be eradicated overnight, nor can transparency be achieved through slogans or short-term gestures. The roots of institutional decay run deep, embedded in decades of structural weaknesses and governance challenges. Reform, by its very nature, demands patience, continuity, and political will. Those who expect transformation in the blink of an eye misunderstand the scale […]
Forgotten Principle of Kashmir’s Right to Self-Determination
A fundamental aspect of the Kashmiri right to self-determination has been overlooked. Prolonged occupation does not confer ownership, and despite decades of illegal occupation, India does not own Kashmir’s natural resources. These resources belong to the Kashmiri people and cannot be used or exploited without their consent. Once this principle is properly understood, the entire […]
Was Pakistan Right to Join the Gaza Peace Board?
Is Pakistan’s decision to join the Gaza Peace Board the right one? The answer is a clear yes. To understand this, we must look at the issue in its proper context. Pakistan’s position on Palestine has always been firm and consistent. From day one, it has recognised the Palestinian right to self-determination. It has never […]
False-Flag Operations: Central to India’s Strategic Doctrine?
From Pathankot to Pulwama, from Pahalgam to Kishtwar, a disturbing pattern keeps repeating itself. The question that now demands serious attention is whether India has formally adopted false flag operations as a central pillar of its strategic doctrine against Pakistan. The ongoing situation in Kishtwar offers a textbook illustration of this pattern. For the fifth […]
This is Not Free Speech. It is an Information War.
This is not freedom of expression. It is a cyber war. Under the pretext of free speech, a systematic campaign has been launched against Pakistan’s state and society. Such a war cannot be wished away or managed through ambiguity. It must be confronted with clarity, resolve and firmness. The debate in Pakistan moved beyond free […]
Weaponizing Children
Terrorism in Balochistan has entered a dangerous new phase. Extremist groups are now using children and young girls as suicide bombers, a tactic that goes beyond mere strategy or logistics. This is a calculated attack on the social fabric itself, exploiting cultural norms and public sentiment to spread fear and chaos. The scale and sophistication […]
2025: Pakistan’s Year of Strategic Success
The year 2025 has turned out to be an unusually fortunate one for Pakistan. As we approach the close of December, it is clear that this is no longer the Pakistan we saw at the beginning of the year. Operation Bunyan al-Marsoos has altered the strategic and psychological landscape in ways few could have imagined. […]
