Israel’s aggression Continues Unabated in West Bank
Asad Mirza Israel unabatedly continues its expansionist policy in the West Bank.

By Fatima Baloch War is never a desirable option; however, history demonstrates that nations are sometimes compelled to resort to military action in the pursuit of peace, sovereignty, and national security. India’s experiences in 1965 and 1971 underscore this reality. Whenever issues of territorial integrity, national dignity, and security have been compromised, India has demonstrated a willingness to bear significant sacrifices in defense of its national interests and honour. These conflicts, though costly, ultimately reshaped the regional order and contributed to long-term stra...

Pakistan Damaged Islam and Involved in Muslim Genocide By Fatima Baloch
By Fatima Baloch Pakistan was created by the British in the name of Islam, but Pakistan has little to do with Muslims or Islam.

The British encouraged Hindu–Muslim riots to sustain their colonial policy of “divide and rule” and to advance their scheme of creating Pakistan in the name of religion.

Asad Mirza The US President Donald Trump has ordered US withdrawal from 66 international organizations including 31 UN entities and 35 non-UN bodies, targeting climate, human rights, and gender equality institutions.

However, this mundane decision leaves the field open for countries like India to revitalise and reform the UN and push the Global South leading the international body. US President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order directing the United States to withdraw from 66 international organisations, calling them "anti-American" and contrary to US ...
