Juzbaa was enough when results of wars were determined by quality of archers and superiority of horses. Muslims even took the lead in deploying gun powder. But goras caught up and have gone to another dimension. Likes of Bilawal and Fazloo are not going to deliver when even Tipu Sultan failed...
Yes, what the graph shows you is modern day equivalent of raid on Somnath although somethings don't change even after a thousand years.
Among Ghaznavi's leading general was a "hindu" soldier by the name of Tilak. Thousand years later, "farangis" have been assisted by another son of the soil...
Yes, last few years of Sultan's reign have been a disaster for Turkish economy which is why until March, investors perceived Turkey to be a riskier investment than Pakistan despite Turkey's higher credit ratings.
But situation changed in early March when suddenly, Pakistan risk exploded. One...
According to some historians, one reason we are communicating in English rather than in French is that the English government could rely on bond markets to fund budget deficit which arose due to war spending. In comparison, Napoleon was actually hostile to moneyed interest and thus could only...
We are bhikaari says the PM of a nuclear armed country; a country that is resource rich but yet is underdeveloped; a country whose rulers own property in some of the richest parts of the world but whose PM goes on BBG and cries in front of TV anchor because he feels pain of flood afectees.
We...
We saw exactly same BS articles post COVID.
Western countries do not want poor countries to get out of their clutches so they use institutions under their thumb to spread economic chaos in these countries. Ignorant Pakistanis buy their propaganda hook line and sinker while gora loving...
This is BS.
Their have been periods when army has called the shots and other periods when civilians have held sway. Bhutto, in the seventies, exercised unbridled power and it was Bhutto who chose Zia over other more qualified candidates. Similarly, in the nineties, NS held sway over military...
Turkish ghazis could conquer the subcontinent based on their archery skills and the quality of their steeds. Unfortunately, their time is over. Now, army's war fighting capability depends, in part, to access to modern weapon systems along with ability to provide equipment of good quality to...
Pakistanis seem to have a death wish as far as economy is concerned. I have had the fortune of working in some of the major financial centers of the world and I have not seen another society where people are so indifferent to their own economic wellbeing. Perhaps economic shock therapy will make...
This is for those Pakistanis who have foreign currency in Roshan Digital Accounts. Be very, very careful.
Global markets are flashing red signal with regards to Pakistan's ability to service it's debt. Pakistan's government USD bonds are now trading at the same level as Sri Lankan USD bonds at...
The graph below tells the story of Pak economy over the last 20 years.
Orange line shows price of oil (left axis)
White line shows Pak's foreign currency needs or its current account position (right axis).
For comparison I have also added India's current account in the chart as well.
As...
Overvalued PKR is only half the story.
When PML-N govt took power in 2013, oil was trading around USD110/bbl. By the middle of their tenure i.e. by mid 2016, oil prices had crashed to around USD30/bbl.
Why is this important?
Because solve energy problems and you get Pak out of clutches of...
Let me explain this to you in terms which even simpletons on this website can understand.
Lets say you have annual aamdani of USD1,000 and expense of USD800. Your saving therefore is USD200 per year. For sake of simplicity, lets assume your expenses are on one product whose price is highly...
I am paraphrasing two comments made by important players behind the French Revolution. Context was criticism of revolution on account of violence in the aftermath of the revolution:
i. Doing revolution by half measures is akin to signing your own death warrant
ii. You want a revolution without...
This is what happens when you make a deal with the devil. IK jumped in bed with goras and their agent Kiyani when movement was launched against Musharraf. Same forces have been activated again. Politics, like cricket, is survival of the fittest. Sadly for Pakistan, IK's political acumen is much...
Islam survived the hammer of Changez. Even more dangerous was the battle of ideas bought to our shores by Europeans. Belief system still exists despite unrelenting 200 year old assault. Islam has already negated one major European attack which came under the banner of communism. Other battles...
Mark my words; this is just the start. Tomorrow this terror will engulf all patriotic Pakistanis. And its magnitude will be much worse because our would be tormentors are people who are nursing a thousand year grievance. They want their pound of flesh from people held responsible for the...
He probably needs to talk to his handlers in peace without ISI eves dropping on the conversation. Uncle Sam is the trump card in his pocket and judges are likely to receive a phone call from an American functionary. Remains to be seen if they can resist the pressure? My guess is that judges will...
