| PoK under TTP and India’s Future Security Challenges By Fatima Baloch | | 
By Fatima Baloch
Whether it is India in the east, Taliban-led Afghanistan in the west, a religious jihadist ideological insurgency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that is gradually engulfing Pakistan, or the secular Baloch national armed struggle seeking an independent Republic of Balochistan, Pakistan has opened multiple strategic fronts and is now facing grave security and existential threats. For India in particular, the situation carries serious implications. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a jihadist ideological militant organization, has expanded its operational focus into Pakistan-occ... |

| | Pakistan’s Objectiveless Military Aggression Against Afghanistan | | and the Future of the Region | 
By Fatima Baloch
Every military operation and war generally has certain strategic objectives. However, just like the 1965 war and the Kargil conflict, Pakistan’s military operations often lack clear strategic objectives during wartime. This frequently leads to failure, heavy military casualties, and embarrassment, and Pakistan continues this legacy both in external wars and in internal military operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) carried out an attack in the Bannu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on February 21, 2026, in which seni... |

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.
1. From historical background to direct confrontation

Israel unabatedly continues its expansionist policy in the West Bank. The US, United Nations and several Arab states have criticised Israel as it expands powers in the occupied West Bank by allowing Jewish Israelis to buy West Bank land directly, and extending greater Israeli control over areas where the Palestinian Authority exercises power.

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 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.
