George Orwell, a great philosopher warned the mankind in no uncertain words that, “The most effective way to destroy a people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” Unfortunately, our pseudo intellectuals and the so called historians seem to follow this maxim, though admittedly unwittingly, and feed us some bizarre stories of their liking and inventions. It all start

The essence and the substance of the Quaid’s Presidential address of August 11, 1947 to the ever first Constituent Assembly of Pakistan, which should have been in fact our Magna Charta has not only been forgotten and lies buried gathering dust in some national archive’s shelf, but has also become a taboo to quote from. It was time that someone did some digging and apprised the people – especially

An M.A. Islamiat teacheress coming from a respected, religious, middle class Pukhtoon family needs a job with better prospects desperately to take care of her both ailing parents. She is young (25 year old), single, highly dedicated, soft spoken, well mannered and a very responsible teacher. She can be usefully employed as a teacher in any institution – school or college - or could also be an I

According to a news report (Jang 1st August) Maulana Fazal ur Rehman is stated to have said, “ Resignations are like Talaq (Divorce) which once given even under rage or a well considered design become effective immediately”. Maulana Sahib, there are millions and millions who do not subscribe to your this pronouncement of three talaqs at one time, especially in rage and wrath. So according to the

Filing of corruption references by the NAB and submission of the list of 150 mega corruption cases to the SCP has tolled a serious alarm bell for some of the highly placed political leaders both in power as well as opposition. Some are reported to have fled to safer heavens abroad and others are trying their best to escape the noose that might be tightening around their necks soon. Speaker NA ha

While greeting Shab e Qadr (Lailatul Qadr) to a friend in Peshawar, was somewhat amused to know that it was observed there yesterday. On my pointing out to him that was it not a little strange to have two Shabhaa e Qadr in Pakistan, he replied that if Shab e Qadr could fall on two different nights between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia / Afghanistan, why could it not fall in Pakistan also on two diffe

The prime minister and his entourage would have experienced it for themselves in Oslo what a friend from Norway is facing in observing fasts there during the month of Ramadan. He says that the fast lasts for over 21 hours as the sun sets there around 11:10 p.m. and the Sehri is over by 1:15 a.m. leaving him a little over 2 hours to break his fast, offer Maghrab, Isha and Traveeh prayers and hurrie

It was indeed refreshing to see the Sri Lankan Security Staff ( Police Force) marching properly in small squads of threes and fours to their stations of duty within the Paley cricket stadium and keeping vigil standing alertly there. How I wish our police too had a similar bearing and carriage while on duty in our streets and other places instead of not only walking slovenly but even loitering ofte

The Prime Minister was shown on the PTV addressing the Pakistani ambassadors what I thought would be a matter of fact rejoinder of him and that of his government to the outright belligerent utterance of the Indian Prime Minister at Dacca and that of his ministers at Delhi. Regrettably far from the expected one. If he had to give his mind in such a tone a tenor then why spend millions in recalli
