Fatima Baloch and Dr K N Pandita
Pakistan was established in 1947 through the partition of India by the British, rather than through a prolonged independence struggle marked by significant sacrifices against colonial rule. As a result, the country initially mishandled Balochistan, forcefully occupying it against the will of the Baloch people on March 27, 1948. Furthermore, Pakistan has struggled to function as a cohesive nation, comprising diverse ethnic groups such as Bengalis, Punjabis, Pashtuns and others.
The artificial nature of its creation by British and global influences has led to a history of military dominance and weak democratic leadership, culminating in the... |

| | Forced displacement of Pandits from their homeland | | |
K N Pandita
The forced displacement of the Pandit minority in Kashmir in 1989-90, is in the sequence of atrocities perpetrated against the Hindu minority ever since the advent of the Islamic faith and its propagators in Kashmir in the third decade of the 14th century.
Islamic faith enjoins its followers to practise Allah's command of destroying atheism, polytheism, idolatry or grave worship. The Hindus of Kashmir followed their age-old philosophy of polytheism and practised idolatry. They are stuck to mythology and traditions inherited over time.
To the Muslim, the antiquity is reprehensible. Allama Iqbal, one among those who conceptualized a separate country for the Musl... |

But he has chosen the other way around to restrict transfer of technology to ... |

Asad Mirza
The Gaza ceasefire deal came as a win for Donald Trump, even before he started his next stint as the 47th American President. Though, both the outgoing and the incoming presidents - Biden and Trump claimed it as their victory, yet in real terms the deal fructified due to Trump’s adamant and no-nonsense attitude in dealing with Netanyahu.
