    When Urdu was the dominant language in Afghanistan

    Never have I ever heard any Punjabi saying something hateful about Karachi'ites. What are you on about?? If language alone can propel any nation to prosperity then by your logic, why not adapt English which is already our official language or Japanese, German or Korean for that matter?

    When Urdu was the dominant language in Afghanistan

    Ok. Lets have a serious non-emotional discussion. A- go to any school or workplace in Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi and let me know what language you hear? I can tell you right now that you'll hear Urdu. Go to any lower middle class market in Pindi and you'll hear Punjabis, Pothowaris, Pushtoons...

    When Urdu was the dominant language in Afghanistan

    Punjabis are the biggest supporters and adopters of Urdu in Pakistan. This guy is definitely an outlier. From large cities to small towns, Punjabi parents have been actively replacing Punjabi with Urdu and as such if an unbiased census is carried out then a majority of Punjabis (and therefore...

    Number of verified FBR PoS invoices in big retail outlets triples to 153,000

    The key purpose at this stage is to encourage adaption of POS, I think a better idea at this stage would be to return a fixed % of tax directly to customer's account upon invoice verification. This % can be very small like 0.1% but it would encourage a lot more people to shop at FBR integrated...

    When it comes to British rule, rich, powerful Indians were complicit every step of the way

    Problem was/is that India was/is a collection of states, ethnicities, castes which was/is very easy to divide. There was no single entity called "India" that existed as a nation then with any sense of nationhood or a common national identity which could have prevented or at least blunted the...

    Pakistan Now 4th Largest Bike Manufacturer: PM Imran

    Bikes are selling like crazy. Cars are selling like crazy. Buses and trucks are breaking new records every quarter. Factories can't find enough workers. But somehow social media has still managed to create this doom and gloom situation about economy. Its taking off.. very slowly though...

    Nike shifts footwear production from China to Vietnam

    Listen I am not by any means inhumane conditions for workers. But I never understood that Westerners can't understand this simple thing; these jobs, even long working hours with no safety equipment etc, are better than not earning anything in developing countries. There is no social security or...

    Why is Chahbahar not burning?

    But what more are Indians going to do? They are already doing everything short of a shooting war on our borders. I doubt they'd start one for Iran.

    Why is Chahbahar not burning?

    Same.. I also want neutrality. And do not hope for another hot front but they are making it difficult to stay quiet. You said "they don't mind another enemy".. but thats my point. Pakistan is not going to be just another enemy.

    Why is Chahbahar not burning?

    Regardless if Iran is or is not harboring terrorists against Pakistan.. I am sure Iranian intelligentsia can appreciate the restrain being shown by Pakistan so far. Arab world, esp the current hawkish leadership, would only be too happy to sponsor an old ally, who knows a thing or two about...

    army officers beaten motorway police once again

    Incidents like these need to investigated by the army and stopped. In this particular example, all this officer had to do was pay the Rs. 750 fine and move on. Instead he chose to create this scene which has maligned an entire institute. I hope this guy and the officer who sent him backup are...

    PTI Health Card Saving Lives

    Two points to note here; 1. Pakistan is not poor. We are a nation of 200 million plus people and Gov's revenue collection is around 7 trillion plus. Its just a matter of fiscal discipline and priorities to provide decent health care and education to our people. PTI has done a lot which must be...

    National Security Policy of Pakistan is oxymoronic – Gen. Tariq Khan

    Very well put. If anything our defence budget needs to be increased given the situation we are in on all sides. This talk of reducing defence budget is moronic--you need to increase the size of pie instead. Better fiscal management by political government can do a lot more than merely slashing...

    Now Pakistan is ranked at 28th Place in Transparency corruption index.

    Corruption is the single biggest issue that we face. Everyone else, including external risks, come in at distant second. On a daily basis a common man; 1. Fears police because corruption has filled police ranks with murderers and thugs and he has no hope of getting protection. 2. Fears...

    National Security Policy of Pakistan is oxymoronic – Gen. Tariq Khan

    Gen sahib has used his academic and possibly legal training to produce a critique of this document. The one key point that he highlighted and the Gov completely ignored is copied below; First and foremost, there is a deeply radicalized society. Polarized, divided and disunited in the face of...
