Salaams Ahmad, I agree that in the past there was major friction with Zahir/Dawood regime, slowly things have evolved in both countries. Now Pashtuns in Pakistan are present in each and every province and each and every key organization at key posts. They are quite literally one of the...

Spot on mate, whereas Pashtun Pakistanis are an ever increasing dominant force in the affairs of Pakistan, there is an exact opposite phenomena occurring across the border whereby Pashtuns no more enjoy the dominance they once did... However we are being led to believe that Pakistan's...

Can you imagine UAE style of Princely rule in USA? Yet both are doing quite well and the people are happy, it is all subjective. What was happening in Afghanistan before the Taliban gained support? Deliberately turning a blind eye to the prevalent conditions which ushered in Taliban is...

I think we all need to understand one basic thing. You cannot doubt the intentions when someone is doing a selfless good deed, this may have seemed like a little satire to some but believe me...it was ill done and not ethical from any perspective since the message which should have been conveyed...

Here is the link to the newspaper of the day this article was published. I had to check myself, because it was a really low standard article. E-paper :: Daily Express Maybe he was trying to prove that someone like Angelina who has a terribly flawed character is still a much better human than...

You care to think about the economic implications of such a bloody war before shooting out such statements? I hope you are aware that there are thousands of men in uniform and thousands of civilians who have been killed because of this war, quite clearly the casualties reflect clearly that it...

Salaams Long time no see, how are you doing? Hope all is good with the family as well. Do keep in touch. Regards

Salaams Congratulations on becoming a moderator. Clint Eastwood style moderation is perhaps the need of the hour...:-) Regards AG

Your claim of ethnic cleansing is just an extremely exaggerated and invalid claim the sole purpose of which is to simply malign the Muslim Population of Kashmir and justify whatever brutality they are subjected to. However we may look at it, the fact remains that the Kashmir Valley was...

First of all kindly get your facts straight regarding the Kashmir Valley, there has always been more than 90% Muslim Majority in the Kashmir Valley since long before the creation of modern day India and Pakistan. In the 1901 census it was more than 95% Muslim majority in Kashmir valley. The...

Kashmir valley is more than 95% Muslim so the collective views expressed by the Valley Muslims are in fact of the overwhelming majority. No matter how gently you portray the picture, the people in general are protesting in Kashmir Valley and Indian state is indeed brutalizing the people all...

Same holds true in case of IAF as well. Lest you forget, PAF is not an obsolete or under trained air force. F-16, JF-17 are modern fighters and not a 2nd generation ones. Also the FC-20 will bring a much more high end strike package for Pakistan. PAF is certainly not some green air force...

Here we go again. An air war will be about deployment of all assets in a cohesive strategy to balance out ones weaknesses with ones strengths. If SU-30 is the only big bad wolf barring F-22 in the whole wide world, then surely Indian needs to roll out more of these since they are manufactured...

So when the people in the sub continent were demanding freedom from British Empire, same logic could have satisfied them? Since it had been a century, the British should have said that most of the states and people did not protest and hence British Raj is the will of the people? Things are not...

The fact of the matter is that the current government and all parties for that matter are blaming Musharraf for everything. He is the scapegoat. Now i am always for a balanced point of view and i feel that Musharraf did in fact make some key mistakes and Pakistan has indeed paid a price for it...

Whereas i too was disgusted by NRO and some other policy matters of Musharraf, you are giving in to emotions and exaggerating when you blame him for every issue we face today. Many things in administration were done much better in his era. The era of Nawaz and BB was worse since the only thing...

There is no absolute secrecy these days since one cannot block satellites from taking images, however satellite imagery is one piece of information and may not reflect the whole picture. For this reason there is strict security and on ground photos are prohibited across such areas. Those who...

You are saying that if any state or province is not pleased with the Government of India today, it is just because of some foreign hand and does not have anything to do with what India has been doing in terms of its policies? This is a tremendous oversimplification my friend. In Bangladesh...

I had the pleasant surprise to watch an interview of Dr. Samar Mubarak and on the other hand i was unfortunate enough to watch the so called architect of our nuclear program Dr. A Q Khan chatting with the strangely inadequate anchor, Dr Shahid Masood. I always dislike people who brag about...
