Asad Mirza
The latest attacks by Iran and Israel on each other heralds a horrific and decisive phase in the verbal duel between the two. It is no longer just a traditional fight of words between two countries, but is leading to a permanent change in the geographical and political map of the Middle East.

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.

By Fatima Baloch
Pakistan was created by the British in the name of Islam, but Pakistan has little to do with Muslims or Islam. Instead, it has consistently served British and U.S. strategic interests against Muslims. With British support, the Muslim League was established in Dhaka in 1905 in opposition to the Indian National Congress (INC). 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. While British authorities executed Indian freedom fighters and imprisoned ... |
