There is nothing wrong with such a comparison and competition if it brings in some dollars. Through this very basic export, Bangladesh achieved exports of $34 Billion, with a trade deficit of just $9 Billion. We on the other hand exported just $20.4 Billion worth of goods and our trade deficit...

We are no Japan or South Korea I give you that. But as the author is an Indian who thinks his country was created on a much stronger foundation than ours, so how greatly does the present day Pakistan differs from India? They being the larger economy has only been because of their humongous...

If one was to dive into a conspiracy theory, then with the statements coming out of Washington it seems it was a ploy to improve a fast deteriorating relationship and both US and Pakistan were on board.

Any adversary or enemy can be converted into a friend, an ally actually. The onus is always on the weaker party of the two. For example if Pakistan decides that they want to be friend with India, it can be achieved in a matter of a year, seriously we will have open borders and probably free...

It has to do with the culture of the place, by 1947 56% of British Indian army(minus the Gorkha units) consisted of Punjabis(both Western and Eastern), Pathans and Baluch. These are 3 of the 4 major ethnic groups of Pakistan so naturally a military career is deemed prestigious by most...

And the West Pakistanis used to make fun of Bengalis because of their short height. You showed them Jinnat my boy, you took your name rather seriously didn't you.

Well I don't know this as a fact, but a friend of mine who is a devout N leauger shared something on his wall on Facebook about General Rizwan's brother being involved in some kind of corruption case and why judiciary was silent about it and such usual butt-heart bakwas. While at that time I...

While I doubt such a bill can be put on the floor right now, but if it is then that will surely result in another military coup. In the 90's whenever the governments of Bibi or Nawaz went a bit too far with their corruption and nepotism they were removed from office by the president using...

I was genuinely thinking of posting some scenarios in which CPEC would no have occurred or required. But then I read this So you believe that it is something that is being forced upon us or our leaders have sold us out. Well then there is nothing to discuss. Enjoy the propaganda forced upon you...

They join the police force not out of their desire to fight "terrorists" or protect mother India but because it pays their bills. Ever wonder why there was a million strong Indian army during British Raj? Did they all love British so much that they were willing to risk their lives. The answer...

Iraqi Kurds already have an autonomous region for themselves and have a paramilitary force in shape of Peshmerga, so they are much better off than the ones in other 3 states. As for why they hate Turkey more, well Turkey is home to one of the largest Kurdish population, around 20 million. The...

Sir that is a very strange example and I am really surprised that people said such a thing back then. Pakistan was and is a multi-ethnic country that was created based on a theory that believes Muslims of Sub-Continent are a different nation than the Hindus. Having a multi-ethnic nation on...

No two situations can be same in all aspects. But there are many similarities that you are missing. Both are an ethnic group ( more so in Baluch case) that is dispersed in different modern states. They are a minority in their respective countries and can never actually get decisive power in...

While it will have a direct impact on the countries with considerable Kurd population, it will also set a dangerous precedent for a wider region as well. Both Pakistan and Iran has a Baluch population of which a segment aspire for independence. Northern Iraq becoming an independent Kurdish...

You know how many poor and underprivileged families across those 49 countries get a protein filled diet for a few weeks because of this "barbarity". But then you will not understand the value of proteins, as I am sure a good Hindu like you must be a full time vegetarian. At least our religious...

Till 47, Muslims of both school of thoughts were united, see the leadership of ML for example, there were both Shia and Sunni leaders present in it. Because that was the requirement of the time, we needed to unite for our survival. Not saying that there were not minor sectarian conflicts back...

Yeah, so we gonna cancel our order for 200 F-35's then. Dudes we cancelled our order for 8 F-16's when the US was not ready to pay half the price itself. Their aircraft industry don't rely on our orders to exist. Plus with all the toys that we have in our inventory its us who don't afford to...

If the Austro-Hungarian empire or Ottoman empire(they were not) was a nation then sure India is too. The thing is there has never been a united India ever, not even during the peak of Mughal rule i.e Aurangzeb's days. There are stark cultural differences between different regions of India. A...

Well there can be hundreds of reasons for not being happy in India. But what I am more interested in is why are we the happiest kid in the block. With all the s*** that is going around us, we are the happiest country in South Asia and even middle east barring Gulf states. It must be because of...

That is exactly the problem. Why on earth have we not worked for more cards in the last 17 years. States like Uzbekistan has its share of influence in Afghan politics. Iran plays its Dari-Persian card quite well and hence has a lot of influence in both politics and media, which BTW they use...
