Assuming most of these were young men of about 30-35 in 1947, by 1965 they would have been close to 50 years of age. Too old for a combat fighter pilot. I would, therefore, assume that Pakistani Poles contributed as ground & support staff; essential for the successful conduct of Air Force...

ISI is a well-respected organization all over the world. However, two incidents have made me a bit skeptical and I have serious doubts whether ISI is really as good as it is touted to be. These incidents were: Lal Masjid Mullahs had been hoarding weapons inside the mosque for quite some time...

May Allah bless her soul

'Guardian' is one of the most respectable dailies of the UK. Here is the story. It is up to the individual to decide what to make of it. Pakistani tycoon agrees to hand over £190m to UK authorities Nine freezing orders secured against Malik Riaz Hussain in ‘dirty money’ investigation...

My hat’s off you Sir. You must have been a very athletic young man. I only played cricket & squash but was only mediocre at best in both the games; hence I took up swimming to keep myself fit. Coming back to the real topic. Anyone who has played any sport at any level knows that winning &...

Honorable Mastan Khan. You are quite right that is how he wants to be called. But his full name is Imran Khan Niazi. This was admitted in the official notification which was meant for the official notifications only. It is therefore not incorrect for others to call him by his full real name...

After watching Australia's first innings or a couple of hours on Cric info, I gave up, just like I did during the first test. Mr. Imran Khan Niazi, you were one of best Captains & Cricketers that Pakistan produced. However, despite knowing all there is to know about cricket, this is the state...

It is impossible to deny and I would be the first one to admit that the USA has done a lot of Pakistan. However, most of the help & assistance came following the Korean War primarily because the USA considered the Communion as the biggest threat to her security and the focus of its foreign...

Honorable Starlord, The following is from publication 'The Security Assistance Monitor': "Coalition Support Funds (CSF) refers to money from the Defense Emergency Response Fund (DERF) that is eligible to be used to reimburse coalition partners for logistical and military support to U.S...

Trade delegation and its benefits would come slowly if at all. I would have preferred Donald Trump releasing the 12 Zulu Cobras & whatever is due to Pakistan from the Coalition Support Fund. right away.

I did not mention the significant Polish contribution because we were discussing the Muslim versus British only. On second thought, I freely admit that Polish pilots provided great help to Pakistan's fledgling Air Force and their omission was an error on my part.

Honorable T|/|T, You are right. The rebellion was limited to Poonch & Gilgit/Baltistan only. It is also correct that the majority of local Kashmiri Muslims from the valley followed Sh Abdulla who was partial towards India. You cannot liberate those who do not want to be liberated. Besides some...

I am only quoting from a study conducted by Ideaspak published in Sept 2019. The numbers therein represent the cost that the Power Plant connection. to this, one must add transmission & distribution costs. One would that these numbers are correct. Kindly read the whole study at...

Since I am very interested in the field of Energy, I try to read any publication that is available free on the internet. Regarding the costs of power generation through various means, I can refer to two articles: A 38-page study by Institute of Energy Economics & Financial Analysis published...

It could be due to the fact that the young nowadays take so many things for granted; I am still rather surprised at the ‘nativity’ of many of my fellow Pakistani members. This is a scholarly forum, kindly permit me to set the record straight Except for Turkey, Iran & Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia...

Sir, I am familiar with the Schlumberger. They are a large Oil Field Services & Equipment company and directly not involved in exploration. But drilling oil in the in the Indian Koch territory does not imply sucking oil. By the way, the old state of ‘Kutch’ lies in the Indian state of Gujarat...

Migration of Hydrocarbons: The geological migration of hydrocarbons is a FACT. The main reasons reason being that oil/gas is trapped at the highest point in the permeable rock which causes lateral & upward movement especially during a geological event such as earthquakes. The second reason...

Sir, Per the best of my info, Indian gov't owned Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) discovered a couple of gas formations in the Gulf of Kutch in 2017/2018. These reservoirs are found in the Indian owned waters and not in Pakistani waters. Hydrocarbons will not be "Sucked" but flow in the...

In the hope of finding easy riches; 'Fake' news about oil & gas is nothing new. Not long ago it was reported that more oil than Kuwait had been discovered near the Iran border. Whereas in actual fact only an agreement to drill off-shore Indus basin had been signed and the drilling ( Kekra-1) had...

If there is one reservoir that stretches across two borders or is very close to the border; one would probably need to employ tangential drilling; it could be possible but if the reservoir is well within your country/license area, no third party can access to it. The thing to remember that you...
