The Fate of General Musharraf by Usman Khalid
Posted By: Usman_Khalid Created On: 21/Apr/2013 Views: 1672 Replies: 0 
The following message is being circulated on the Internet that reveals the truth about General Musharraf.I am passing on the message because I agree with it. I hope that the political class will take note that they are next in line and that the segments of the media and the judiciary are complicit in actions and statements that direct the wrath of the nation from the person of Musharraf to the ins Click here to read Full Article

The forthcoming elections are very important because these are the first taking place in an environment of constitutional checks and balance working satisfactorily. That does not mean that parliamentary democracy has started to work as well in Pakistan as in the UK – the country on which Pakistan has modelled its political and judicial system.

Air Commodore M.M.Alam (1935-2013) – A Tribute by Brig. (R) Usman Khalid
Posted By: Usman_Khalid On: 20/Mar/2013 Views:1492 Replies:0 
This is the third time I am writing a tribute for a departed friend. The first time it was the death of an icon – Mr Justice Safdar Shah – when I wrote under the title of ‘Death of Hope’. The legal fraternity did not rise up against General Zia ul Haq at that time in response to the call of Mr Justice Safdar Shah. But it did rise to the occasion in 2007-2009 when General Musharraf dismissed the Ch Click here to read Full Article

The Kayani Doctrine by Dr Farrukh Saleem
Posted By: Usman_Khalid On: 6/Mar/2013 Views:1026 Replies:0 
The Kayani Doctrine is built on four pillars: 1) American troops would have to withdraw from Afghanistan; 2) reconciliation among Afghan factions is not possible without the ISI; 3) Jalalabad-Torkham-Karachi route remains the most viable for withdrawing American forces: 4) India cannot be allowed to encircle Pakistan.

“The U.S. strategy toward Pakistan has been focused on trying to get Islamabad to give serious help to Washington’s campaign against the Afghan Taliban. There are two rather large problems with this approach. The first is that it is never going to happen because Pakistani strategic calculations and the feelings of the country’s population make it impossible…. except in return for U.S. help against Click here to read Full Article

Posted By: Usman_Khalid On: 14/Feb/2013 Views:1354 Replies:0 
India is the last surviving imperial power which is unique as its desire for regional hegemony is underpinned by internal hegemony by high castes.Not many people know that Hindus are a minority in India. The number of those within the fold of chaturvarna i.e. four castes (Brahmin, Kashatri, Vesh and Shudara) are no more than 15% of the population of India – the same as the Muslims.

Guru’s wife and son were not informed. “The authorities intimated the fam Click here to read Full Article

(Dams do not consume water; they STORE water for use downstream. It is at the barrages that water is consumed as irrigation canals are taken out. River Indus has such little water below Kotri because of Kotri Barrage, not Tarbela Dam. In fact the province of Sindh has received 33% more water after the construction of Tarbela Dam. Sindh will get its share of 37% from every dam which may be built on Click here to read Full Article
Revolution in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia? by Bruce Riedel
Posted By: Usman_Khalid On: 4/Feb/2013 Views:1004 Replies:0 
Saudi Arabia is the world’s last absolute monarchy. Like Louis XIV, King Abdullah has complete authority to do as he likes. But while a revolution in Saudi Arabia is still not likely, the Arab Awakening has made one possible for the first time, and it could come in President Obama’s second term.
