The media in India and Pakistan are going berserk whipping up war hysteria and further perplexing the already bewildered masses. The skirmishes, ranging from across the line of control in Kashmir to the ‘naval infiltrations’ in the waters of the Arabian Sea, have been prolonged more than usual. Domestically on both sides, the regimes are […]

A hundred years ago in May 1916 British and French imperialists with Russian acquiescence signed a secret agreement called the Sykes-Picot. British and French diplomats Mark Sykes and François Georges-Picot were the authors of this covert sinister agreement. However, after the great Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, Leon Trotsky, one of the main leaders of the […]

On the fateful night between 6th and 7th November 1917, the Bolsheviks took power through a revolutionary insurrection in Russia. This one gigantic stride of humankind changed the course of history.

Quetta is being pulverised by gruesome terror strikes almost recurrently. While the country’s strong man is proclaiming of eliminating terrorists, they strike back with a vengeance and a tacit impunity.

A US declassified memorandum dated October 11, 1967 to […]

Another atrocity committed against the Hazaras by the so-called non-state actors and the state’s another usual evasion. This time five innocent women belonging to the Shia Hazara community were returning home when their bus was stopped on Quetta’s Kirani Road by armed men, and one of them barged inside and started shooting indiscriminately. The murderous […]

The SAARC summit to be held in Islamabad in November was cancelled after Bangladesh, Bhutan and Afghanistan pulled out following India’s refusal to participate. This South Asian economic bloc was created to give a reprieve for the rotting capitalist economies of the region by expanding markets. Even the advanced European Union’s (EU) capitalist economy plunged […]

The relentless and remorseless orgy of killings, maiming and military occupation and oppression by the tyrannical Indian state exposes the internal frailty and organic decay of the ruling elite and military’s top brass. The political pundits and the elite are lauding Nawaz Sharif’s speech at the general assembly but what difference did it or can […]
