Past week has been really tough one for Pakistan. Multiple suicide attacks and most importantly some shoot out style attacks on the offical buildings. The vigor and effect of these attacks is very important to notice. These attacks show planning and effectiveness in execution of terrorists, it also shows weakness of our administration.
How in the [...]

Why Quaid-e-Azam Only?

Recently during one debate a religiously minded member of the group (not this one) referenced Quaid-e-Azam’s State bank speech for the basis of Islam for Pakistan. But that member is not alone in this. I have seen many secular minded people quoting Quaid-e-Azam’s speeches and his life to state that Pakistan should be secular. These arguments are [...]

I do not want to write about this moment because it is full of success, it is full of message; and because it is still not away from shadow.
What can you write about this day? This day is for nothing; yes among all the noise and hu-ha this day is for none of them.That’s why [...]
Please dont ask Army to interfere

I was disappointed by many who were saying Army should interfere; many of whom who were pretty active against Musharaf. It is same mindset that resulted in acceptance of many previous military intervention. One should not accept illegal actions even if they result in something he/she wished.
If we cannot enforce will of the majority then [...]
Section 144, Should Politics be stopped by fear of terrorism
Posted in Democracy, Pakistan, Pakistan Peoples Party, People, Politics, Terrorism, public awareness, tagged Lawyer movemnt, Paksitan, People, Politics, Punjab, section 144, Terrorism on March 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
There comes section 144, again in the context of best interest of Pakistan. Govt. is saying that they cant allow long march because of the fear of the terrorism. Well they are right, there should not be any such political activity when there is fear of terrorism.
But I remember the day Benazir returned to Pakistan [...]
Swat and Pakistan; Question of Shariah or Emotional Blackmail?
Posted in Civil Rights, Democracy, Islam, Pakistan, People, Politics, tagged Religion, Shariah, Swat on February 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I think while discussing Swat we go off the track.
Question here again is not the Islam and Shariah, question is the path that is being followed to get it.
Should ends justify means?
Should we allow people to kill other people who dont want their format of Shariah (or any law) ?
Should government bow down to one [...]
Tupac and Obama; question of race?
Posted in America, Civil Rights, Democracy, People, Politics, What Makes America, tagged Benazir, Obama, Pakistan, Tupac on November 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I liked the Mouse Matrix’s (http://mousematrix.wordpress.com/) blog about how the Tupac’s song is no more relevant.
Ahead of time? Maybe the time has just changed! It is probably the first time when America acknowledged that it is the time for the “Changes”. A posthumous song by Tupac, “Changes” finally sounds old. A song, which stayed relevant [...]

Today the history has been made.
Obama has won. And it’s not just because he is First Black president.
I do not know how he will run country, or more correctly how he will run the world.
Whether he will further make mess of the country or not, it does not decrease shine of this moment.
This moment is [...]

After suffering 4months of visa renewal delays I have returned from Pakistan yesterday.
How is Pakistan? first question everyone asks.
Pakistan is fine, just take electricity shortage, recent American incursion, Rs.86+ per litter petrol, war situation in upper part of country, shortage of wheat etc.. out of equation. Pakistani people are famous for short memory unfortunately they [...]
