Article 26 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969) explicitly states that no bilateral agreement can be unilaterally suspended. However, regardless of any bilateral agreement, India does not have the legal authority to block water to Pakistan. Let’s consider, for a moment, the hypothetical scenario where the Indus Water Treaty never existed. […]
India’s War on Truth
In the midst of a tenuous ceasefire along the international border and the Line of Control, India appears to be waging a sophisticated cyber warfare campaign against Pakistan, reflecting a desire to shape a narrative that compensates for its military setbacks. Following the unsuccessful attempt to achieve its objectives through the Pehlgam false flag operation, […]
India’s War on Truth
Amid a tenuous ceasefire along the international border and the Line of Control, India appears to be waging a sophisticated cyber warfare campaign against Pakistan, reflecting a desire to shape a narrative that compensates for its military setbacks. Following the unsuccessful attempt to achieve its objectives through the Pehlgam false flag operation, India is now […]
Indian War Crimes
While Pakistan adhered to the principles of international law in its response and target selection, India, on the other hand, violated numerous provisions of international law in its acts of aggression and target selection. This amounts to war crimes and demand accountability, regardless of the recent ceasefire. India’s military incursion into Pakistan not only undermines […]
Exploitation of Social Media by Terrorist Organizations
Social media, once a simple way to connect people, has literally placed Pakistan in peril. This reality can’t be ignored any more, except at a price. Terrorist organizations have exploited social media to spread hatred, recruit the vulnerable, and coordinate operations that endanger the very fabric of our society and this is the right time […]
India Should Concentrate on Its Internal Fault Lines
With the recent incident in Pahalgam, a crunch question to the fore: is it truly an act of terrorism or a cleverly orchestrated false flag operation, cloaked in ambiguity and driven by deeper geopolitical agendas? Well, admittedly all forms of terrorism are unequivocally reprehensible. However, the hasty attribution of blame to Pakistan, without thorough investigation, […]
Hindutvising Muslim Waqf in India
The Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2024, to amend the 1995 Waqf Act (1995 Act), recently passed by India’s upper house of parliament, is not only a manifestation of the racist ideology of Punyabhumi, it also suggests the Indian government is adopting tactics reminiscent of Netanyahu’s policies, signalling a move towards the ‘Israelification’ of India. The proposed […]
No one is above the State
The PTI’s choice to skip the Parliamentary Committee meeting isn’t just about political ethics; it highlights complex legal issues that are deeply rooted in Parliamentary jurisprudence. It’s simple: one can opt out of an all-parties conference, as that choice falls within the realm of political ethics. Yet, a member of parliament who declines to attend […]
Politics in a Post-Truth Era
Following Ali Amin Gandapur’s unconstructive diatribe on February 8, I find myself grappling with several questions, the ultimate of which is whether genuine performance is still a vital component of politics or whether we have succumbed to a faction driven solely by hateful, post-truth rhetoric. What is the true essence of politics? Is it genuinely […]
Israelization of Kashmir
The striking parallels between the situations in Israel and India-particularly in the contexts of Palestine and Kashmir-highlight a concerning reality: India seems to be veering toward the Israelization of Kashmir. At the core of Israel’s ideological framework lies a dual belief system. The first tenet posits that Jews are the chosen people of God. The […]
