| The Modern Baloch Nationalism and the Taliban:Comparative Paths to Sovereignty in South Asia | | 
By Fatima Baloch
The Baloch are an ancient Kurd-Arab-rooted nation who live on both sides of the borders under Pakistani and Iranian control, as well as in parts of southern Afghanistan where they are relatively well established. Historically, Balochistan was divided primarily due to British colonial interests in the late nineteenth century. This division created buffer zones between the British Indian Empire, Persia (Iran), and Afghanistan through the Goldsmid Line (1871–1896).
When British India was partitioned in 1947, the Khanate of Kalat (Eastern Balochistan) declared its indep... |

K N Pandita
Facing discontent from ruling-party legislators and some valley-based MPs, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah employed a strategic off-site meeting to refocus internal unrest toward the Centre's delayed restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. Transporting his lawmakers to the Dachhigam National Park for a marathon huddle, Abdullah successfully forged a unified resolution: all 42 legislators will stage a protest rally at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on the opening day of the Monsoon Session of the Indian Parliament to demand statehood and constitutional guarantees.
The notable point is that the body of NC MLAs did not throw any hint of disowning the leadership of the... |

Hazaron saal nargis apni be-noori pe roti hai, Badi mushkil se hota hai chaman mein didavar paida.
(For a thousand years, the narcissus weeps its own blindness; with great difficulty, a man of true vision is born into the garden.)
— Mirza Ghalib

Thirty-six years ago, terrorism cruelly took him and his son, Virender Kaul, from us. Their lives were extinguished not just for being taken, but for their unwavering convictions, their refusal to abandon their homeland, and their choice of dignity over fear.

As expected, the United States and Iran failed to reach a peace deal after high-stakes talks in the Pakistani capital, with American Vice President JD Vance saying Tehran refused to accept Washington’s terms after 21 hours of talks in Islamabad. And Iran citing lack of American commitment to the talks.
The talks termed as ‘Islamabad Talks’, lasted a full day of negotiations, which ended with a terse three-minute press conference — and without a deal. Talks between America and Iran began on Saturday afternoon and continued through the night, almost 21 hours in all. The sun had risen in Islamabad, the Pakistani capital, by the time JD Vance emerged to brief reporters.... |
