The atmosphere in Pakistan seems to be getting ripe for a situation, where, if the government does not regain the full confidence and trust of the people, it would be difficult to stabilize the situation again.

Evil Walks the World Today

Zeejah    Dec 6, 2008   interacts: 435

Pakistanis are in denial and Indians are baying for blood and pointing a finger across the border at Pakistan as the source of the murderous plan.

I Am A Pakistani

Ayesha Khan   Nov 29, 2008   interacts: 27

(India, America) These are countries that I carry in my heart but do not carry their passports. I am a threat to the safety of their people. I am a threat to my friends.

An Indian Muslim

Shoaib Daniyal   Nov 28, 2008   interacts: 270

The Indian Muslim doesn’t need people killing in his name. He needs reform. The community is one of the most backwards in India, and largely the blame has to be shouldered by itself.

Mumbai Attacks: Shocking

Chowk    Nov 26, 2008   interacts: 708

This kind of terrorism is unforgivable and must be condemned unilaterally in no uncertain terms, in all forms, in all contexts.

Seeking a way out of the 'war on terror'

Beena Sarwar   Oct 18, 2008   interacts: 17

The calls by decision makers for political engagement rather than military means to end the ‘war on terror’ in Afghanistan reflects a major change in US policy.

A Weak Pakistan is a Threat to Neighbours

Beena Sarwar   Oct 1, 2008   interacts: 38

The Marriott Bombing: ‘Pakistan’s 9/11’?

Beena Sarwar   Sep 21, 2008   interacts: 118

Pakistan: The War of Drones

Pervez Hoodbhoy   Mar 10, 2008   interacts: 859

Why do so many Pakistanis suddenly lose their voice when it comes to condemning suicide bombings? Is it because the bomber kills in the name of Islam?

The Naval War College Bomb Blasts

Feroz R Khan   Mar 4, 2008   interacts: 357

I was about 800 meters away from the bomb blast. The force of the explosion was powerful enough to rattle the windows nearly a mile away.

Benazir Bhutto Killed in an Attack

Chowk    Dec 27, 2007   interacts: 520

Welcome Home Ms Bhutto

Ayesha Umar   Oct 20, 2007   interacts: 385

There is no doubt that Benazir was the prime target of the attack. A lot has been changed in those 8 years. Pakistan is paying a heavy price for being the key US ally in the war on terror.

Finding Kashmir's Pain in London

Murtaza Shibli   Apr 7, 2006   interacts: 235

If I had brought my unhappiness to London, this is scarcely surprising: my life had been punctuated by bomb blasts, cries of loss by mothers who had lost their sons, of children whose fathers had been tortured to death. Everything was unpredictable and un

A Devastated Metropolis

Ozer Khalid   Oct 31, 2005   interacts: 105

Plots and skirmishes have footnoted the sub-continent’s history, warmongering coupled with bomb blasts sometimes provide the punctuation. The question is can we as a South Asian people stem the tide and end this feudal-frenzied animosity through cro

Chowk Staff   Oct 30, 2005   interacts: 431

A series of bomb went off in Delhi on Oct 29th, three days before the festival of Diwali.

Muslims and the Road to Perdition

Zafar Anjum   Aug 23, 2005   interacts: 324

In today’s globalized flat world, Muslims must harmonize themselves with other communities and reap the benefits of a changed world. Like the true deputies of God on earth, let’s make it a better place.

Cause and Detect

Bhaskar Dasgupta   Aug 5, 2005   interacts: 27

Please do remember that I am ignoring the conspiracy theorists, who are a real funny bunch, blaming it on the intelligence services, the police, the Zionists, the military industrial complex, capitalism, little green men from Uranus

Beena Sarwar   Oct 3, 2004   interacts: 43
