Praveen Swami’s 2006 book India, Pakistan and the Secret Jihad: The covert war in Kashmir, 1947-2004 is a book that you must read. Now, for reasons best known to the marketing department of its publishers, the international edition was priced out of reach of most people. Yet it is ‘most people’ who should […]

When the GEO TV flashed the breaking news of a terrorist attack at a hospital in D.I.Khan on 21st August 2008, I was having fun with friends. The mention of D.I.Khan made me pause, have my fingers crossed and set my eyes at the TV. In line with my fear, it was a targeted attack […]

Source: All Things Pakistan
Most Pakistanis seem to like Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic Party candidate for President. However, for most, Senator Obama’s “Pakistan Connections” were limited to (a) his rather strong words about Pakistan, including about sending troops into Pakistan, and (b) his choice of Senator Joeseph Biden, who has a long and deep […]

Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal’s dream of Pakistan turned into a reality on 14th August 1947. Surely, they did not know that the Pakistan they dreamt about is still far from reality. Though, despite of its socio-political problems Pakistan has done considerably well in the past 60 years but that doesn’t not mean in any regard […]

100 days under the king-maker
July 7th, 2008 ale.natiq · 4 Comments
The directionless PPP government seems to be dropping in darkness. The 100 days treated as a litmus test for a nascent government to prove its willingness and capacity to perform have been wasted. The regime seems to be treading the same path of preserving the status quo. The president is as dummy as was Shaukat […]

The government of Pakistan shelved the controversial Kalabagh dam project on May 27, 2008. Three provinces of Pakistan, other than Punjab, had strong reservations over the project. Musharraf, during his times announced to build the dam despite those reservations but could not. This was probably the first good move by […]
