In Pakistan, an estimated 5000 women are killed per year from domestic violence, with thousands of others maimed or disabled. In 1988 a survey showed that 800 women were killed amongst dowry-related violence, bride burnings (also known as stove deaths), in 1989 the number rose to 1100, and in...

Yes, India has influence over Afghan Government and Norther Alliance. But had they been so effective, there was no need of bringing Taliban to the table. Formation of Quadrilateral Coordination Group with Pakistan present and India absent itself testfies whose the more influential for...

Not really. It just makes an interesting analysis.

For some reason I'm beginning to like Trump. About time a real nutjob acquired the highest US office.

^ This is a badly worded article from Dawn (was expecting better from them to be honest). The news article only states that the "CNIC number" seems to be in the name of the alleged lady as checked through NADRA's SMS service, that's all. FWIW, it might be a totally different person with the...

We might be one terrorist act away from a Trump Presidency - By Ian Buruma

Well, if its about sharing expertise then no problems. But, if like Yemen, this is asking for Pakistani soldiers to fight on the ground, then in my humble opinion, Pakistan should refuse. Pakistan is neither US nor Russia. Our army, like our country, has limited resources to function. We...

The Use and Abuse of Culture (and Children): The Human Terrain System's Rationalization of Pedophilia in Afghanistan by David Prince - Roberto J. González HTS’s efforts to absolve American officials of responsibility or agency in these reports of abduction and child rape places US soldiers in...

Read my post again. The last line. I'm agreeing that this incident looks unintentional. I'm not implying any malice. Maybe MSF is implying malice on this, but I'm not. All I'm saying (after reading the General's statement) is that either the procedure wasn't followed or the procedure was...

That's not what the General said. He specifically stated that "even though the Afghans request that support it still has to go through a rigorous US procedure". So there are only two scenarios, either the procedure was not followed or the procedure is not rigorous enough (i.e. fails to...

Since the coordinates were given by the ANSF being on the ground themselves, so the blame firstly lies there. But still, suggesting the USAF to be as clueless as the layman on the street is a lame excuse. General John Campbell, Commander of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan, already stated...

Pakistan submits dossier alleging Indian hand in terrorism to UN - The Hindu It seems that Pakistan was may be waiting to hear India's take on its peace initiative. Seeing that instead of a reciprocal response, India insisted to accuse Pakistan for terrorism, Pakistan finally decided to submit...

It's now been roughly 2 days and still I haven't read any clear denial on this by either Russia or Pakistan, despite the fact that this news is now being quoted at several news outlets. If there's no truth in this, either Pakistan or Russia should outrightly and clearly deny this. This would...

Yep, you did credited PAF. But you still maintianed your views that the IAF doesn't feel in any way challagened by PAF, it's just that incursion into Pakistan are not on the IAF's agenda at the moment. I'm of the view that even if incursions into Pakistan are on the IAF's agenda at the moment...

Whilst I understand your post for the most parts, however, I disagree with the above point. Though I can agree that its your opinion, fair enough. But in my opinion, if the IAF does not feel in any way challanged by the PAF at the moment, then I would've seen atleast something, anything, from...

By reading the disparities between the numbers, PAF actually garners more respect in the eyes of the reader. I understand that there's always room for improvement, but apparently PAF is out-numbered, out-gunned and ill-equipped to counter IAF incursions in Pakistan and yet have somehow managed...

How can a minority (on their own) fight harder than the majority? You think the other party would not have done the same had they been in such a position? Now you're the one being truly naive and gullible here. When even the local law enforcement authorities are involved in committing...

^ Wow, you nailed it. So Indians don't care for the line of reasoning that Muslims were being lynched, murdered and raped. They should've just accepted all of it and not retaliated in any way.

This report is well compiled and an interesting read. I was hoping that our country might have had some home grown talent in this field, but it appears we do need outside help in tackling these modern systems. Although it can never be proved that such surveillance tools would only be used for...
