| Baloch Gen Z and Indian Gen Z: A Comparison | | 
By Fatima Baloch
Following the success of the Indian student- and Gen Z-led protest organized by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) at Jantar Mantar on 25 July 2026, many Baloch commentators argued that Indian Gen Z appeared to be more politically influential than Baloch Gen Z. However, an examination of the history of the Baloch student movement presents a different perspective. From this viewpoint, despite deprivation, a lack of basic facilities, and living under occupation, Baloch youth and students have demonstrated greater courage, resilience, and political maturity than the emer... |

| | NATO's Bipolar Summit | | |
Asad Mirza
Donald Trump turned NATO's Ankara summit into a one-man show - reviving Iran hostilities, threatening Spain, demanding Greenland, and needling allies - while Secretary-General Mark Rutte's flattery-and-spending strategy kept the alliance intact. The summit exposed a NATO that survives not through unity, but through the careful, anxious management of one man's moods.
When Donald Trump landed in Ankara this week for NATO's annual summit, the alliance's carefully choreographed script survived roughly as long as his motorcade took to reach the venue. What followed was, by multiple accounts, a "marathon, high-energy performance" - the White House's own words - that left ... |

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.

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... |
