While we are talking about creation & struggle for Pakistan, it may not be out of place for fellow members to read the following two articles: The election that created Pakistan Nadeem F. ParachaUpdated 11 May 2014 Even till the early and mid-1940s, the leadership of the All India Muslim...

Sir, According to the rules of cricket, in a full day of Test Cricket consisting of 3 sessions, 90 overs have to be bowled. Pakistan has thus far played only 86 overs. In other words, had there been no stoppage due to bad light or rain, total time Pakistan team has spent on the crease is...

I presume that we talking about the leaders /individuals who are so important/pivotal that without whom Pakistan may not have into being. Before anything else, everyone must understand that ‘History’ is always subjective and even though events are described correctly, the description is worded...

For your info, while the Manchester area was under lockdown, Southampton is not. It is well-known that under English conditions the ball does swing and also moves off the seam. During the 2nd inning in the first test, the conditions at Old Trafford were hot and more like UAE than typical...

I happen to watch the entire match. In my humble opinion, the current batting line-up is not worth a lot more than 250 per innings against a top rate bowling attack that England has, therefore overall score is not much of a disappointment. Our hope rests with the bowlers to get England out...

Sorry but I don't have sufficient info to correctly answer your query.

A happy 73rd Independence day to all of my Pakistani compatriots and since it close to midnight in the subcontinent (1820 hrs in London), happy independence day to Indian members as well.

Let us accept the bitter truth; the USA has used Pakistan whenever it served ' US' interests. It started just after the Korean War with the SEATO & Baghdad Pact/CENTO membership and culminated with the WOT after 9/11. Pakistan has therefore been and would be again (If & when needed by the USA) a...

Since the thread 'SHUHADA of PAKISTAN NAVAL AVIATION' has been closed. I have opened this thread. Here is the story according to: https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Atlantique_incident). It is not my opinion, I am simply quoting it for the members to read about how the end game was played out...

If I remember correctly an IAF Mig-21 & one IAF Mig-27 were shot down by PAF SAMs when these strayed over Pakistani side in May 1999. Indian version stated that Mig-21 had developed mechanical trouble and had to eject and Mig-27 had gone there to investigate because the Kargil was very close to...

Honorable HRK, I have read the new map but I still fail to see the rationale behind it beyond the 'tit for tat' of the Indian action. In my humble opinion; once you mention " UN resolutions" it is neither a paradigm nor a policy shift because you are expecting it to be resolved in line with...

I was born in1943 and no one I know remembers the exchange rate then. When first I came to the UK in Sept 1962 one USD was equal to 4.76 Pk Rupees.

Sir, do you really think that showing all of Kashmir in Pakistan will make India handover Kashmir over to us? I was only emphasizing that unilaterally enlarging Pakistan's map is a pointless exercise because the whole state of Jammu & Kashmir, including Azad Kasmir, had been declared as...

Regret to say that IMHO this is an exercise in futility. Just because India showed all of Kashmir & Gilgit Baltistan as Indian territory on their new map must we also follow this senseless example? We can issue a map showing Iran, Afghanistan, and even Bangladesh as part of Pakistan. Does it...

Sir, Just like the Pakistan Rangers, Coast Guards report to the Ministry of Interior. Serving officers of the Army & other Services may be 'Seconded' to the Coast Guards, but it remains a paramilitary organization and under the Secretary of the Interior Ministry...

Not being a military professional, I dare not comment. During my long carrier, I have on one occasion run a large oil storage terminal employing more than 100 engineering & skilled regular staff and quite a few contract laborers. Since good housekeeping and safety is of paramount importance, I...

The folwing is only one that I know: It is a long paper but can be downloaded. Composition, trace element contents and major ash constituents of Thar Coal, Pakistan...

Honorable Sir, 5th Generation tank!!!!!! Must we use such 'Superlatives' for Alkhalid-1? To the best of my info, Tanks such as the Leopard-2, M1A2 Abrams. Challenger-2, T-90, and the Chinese Type 99 are 3rd generation MBTs even though some have been modernized with 4th generation technology...

Not a bad idea. Iranian gasoline & diesel has been smuggled to Iran & Afghanistan even since I joined Esso Pakistan back in 1967. Smuggling carries a bad name and is a criminal offense, but otherwise honest & law-abiding citizens often indulge in it without any feeling of guilt. The famous...
