| Pakistan’s Misunderstanding of TTP, BLA, and TTA | | |
By Fatima Baloch
Pakistani “regional experts” and self-styled analysts are no strangers to deception. Many have engaged in propaganda that misleads the public and contributes to failures in diplomacy and warfare. In particular, Pakistan’s Afghan policy suffers from poor leadership, flawed strategic thinking, and a lack of credibility on international platforms. Three persistent narratives have recently gained traction:
1. Pakistan is pressuring the Afghan Taliban—via China, Turkey, Qatar, and others—to take action against the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).
2. The Supreme Leader of the Afghan Taliban has issued a fatwa declaring jihad again... |

Asad Mirza
President Trump has fired a fresh salvo from his wish list, ignoring sovereignty of an independent nation and ignoring all norms of international decorum and diplomacy. He seems to act like a child who must cry, when he wants to take control of any other sovereign country.
After making demands of taking over Greenland, Mexico and adding Canada to the USA, the US President Donald Trump has once again targetted a sovereign nation, just to fulfill his wish list or dreams or efforts to neutralise his arch foes.
In his latest demand, Trump said on Thursday (September 18) that his administration is pressing to “get back” the military base at Bagram, Afghanistan. The US presid... |

| | Pakistan's Objectives in Afghanistan | | |
By K N Pandita and Fatima Baloch
The creation of Pakistan in 1947 was deeply influenced by the British colonial strategy of "divide and rule." Rather than emerging from a purely organic nationalist movement, Pakistan was born out of the partition of British India under the pretext of religion—specifically, the "Two-Nation Theory." This division not only fractured the Indian subcontinent but also weakened Muslim political cohesion. The geopolitical repercussions of Pakistan's formation extended beyond its borders, profoundly affecting neighbouring Afghanistan.
The foundation of the Two-Nation Theory was later discredited when Pakistan disintegrated in 1971 and Bangladesh emer... |

Asad Mirza
The recent SCO Summit in Tianjin has provided India a timely opportunity to reset its ties with China and also prodded Russia to revive the old Russia, India, and China (RIC) forum. RIC may emerge as a potential defence against the US’s tariff mania by increasing trilateral cooperation and trade.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’s (SCO) Summit in Tianjin in China, has emerged as the forum, where old enmities were forgotten and new ties amended, all due to theatrics of one single person, i.e. the US President Donald Trump.
Though the focus of the SCO Summit was bilateral and multilateral issues, yet the most important output was the meetings between the Indian ... |

K. B. Jandial
Never in his political career, PM Narinder Modi has wrestled with two serious challenges at the same time. He is grappling with geopolitical headwinds—punitive U.S. tariffs to safeguarding India’s global image and economic resilience; and fast catching up narrative of electoral irregularities which Rahul Gandhi calls “Vote Chori,” hitting the credibility of Election Commission of India (ECI).

By Aditya Rangroo
The success of India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ launched on 6-7 May against terrorist camps based in Pakistan and POJK, has demonstrated India’s defence prowess. It speaks of her competence and determination to fight terrorism abetted by her Western neighbour since 1990s. Action against the entrenched terrorists and their camps in Pakistan and POJK was necessitated this time by yet another act of barbarism on April 22, in which the terrorists took the lives of 26 tourists at the Baisaran picnic spot in Pahalgam. The Resistance Front (TRF) accepted the responsibility for the carnage.
