There is immense hate for anything or everything related to Muslims in the environment created by Modi et-al. These reactions are to be expected. A decade or two ago, most Indians were firmly supportive of Palestinians, not so the case any more. As such, this is noise and should be filtered.

Less political meddling, completely agree with your analysis. The potential with raw talent is there, better organization, infrastructure and support is needed in a sustainable way.

The US does not care because they can borrow indefinitely for as long as the world trade is pegged to the USD. China definitely is much better situated in this situation. Pakistan, for all the cry and hue, could do better but is still not in a dire situation.

Not bad. The return leg in Pakistan should help. The team should go all out in beating Cambodia. Last time we lost 4-1. So this is progress. The new British coach should be able to help.

There are multiple ways of twisting arms. Kinetic isn't the one that gets the best results in every situation. The refugee repatriation play is a much more effective way of going about this without the use of force.

When some give more than anyone else here, people need to keep their idiotic comments to themselves. Got a problem, take it up in Siyasat.

DS, We will never become subservient to India and I am not saying this just because it is some matter of pride for me. Pakistanis will eat grass but won't let that happen (iA). Also, keep in mind that what we did to ourselves in the 80s and 90s with, as you say hatred along religious lines...

These knee-jerk comparisons do not help us. Being incredibly aggressive against TTP inside of Afghanistan has more downsides than upsides for Pakistan. Also, keep in mind that Pakistan and Turkey don't have the same operating environments. First thing, any kinetic action that Pakistan carries...

All the better! If you have to use it then it means the deterrence did not work.

Fastrack sell-off or dissolution of PIA.

I agree and this is a fact that Pakistan can advance rapidly. However, the country needs direction and then the will to push for change. Pakistan can move faster than India to advancement. Infrastructure is there. Trade needs to be opened up, taxation of agriculture and industry needs to be...

And that is an excuse for these professionals to throw in the towel like bloody cowards?

I am not bothered by the validity of this news source etc. So what if the Saudis were to introduce a "world cultures/religions" class and the Hindu religious practices were covered in it? Even Pakistani children could benefit from such things (we have Hindus, Christians, Parsis etc.) Growing...

Corruption exists in a lot of countries. We are not an exception. Trade, with anyone, opens up your wallet share. It simply brings more wealth into the system. So either you wait till kingdom come for your corruption woes to be sorted out by a Salahuddin Ayubi or you get on the trade...

Lack of funding in economy, education, health and sports is taking its toll. Loss to India in hockey (10-2), losses in Cricket to SL + decimation by India in Asia Cup, then a 61-14 demolition in Kabbadi against India today, and losses to Philippines in Squash, and the fact that for a nation of...

Well done!

Good post and I cannot disagree with everything. However, I will call attention to a few points. First, in hindsight we can say that the establishment miscalculated and "all will be forgiven" was looked upon too generously. Second, while the miscalculation is possible, there are plenty of...

I appreciate your sentiments but let me remind you of the reality in Pakistan. Ours is a crawl, walk, run kind of a journey where every step forward is marred by two steps back. I get it that we want it to be so much better and not have Pakistani establishment behave in the mindset of a...

Nice gear. Godspeed PN!
