Reading David Rohde. He describes his life as a captive of Taliban. This allowed him to see and analyze it’s captor, now he is writing about it. I have read only some portions and I feel his article will be widely quoted in coming days to describe and evaluate Taliban, especially because Pakistan has started [...]

Cowasjee’s background noise
Posted in Civil Rights, Pakistan, People, Politics, public awareness on September 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
No I don’t like this person’s ideas very much. Most of the time when he is on Tv. he says the things in the way that just irritates you, makes more darama and less sense.
But for some time this person has been trying to wake us out for the things we are loosing, things which [...]
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 was just listening Charlie Rose and there was Peter G Peterson. I am totally impressed by what he was saying about the Economics. He explained how the foreign lending is weak point of America, how this Foreign lending is giving China and Japan leverage on US. (Gave e.g. of Swiss Canal, where use [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Just watching BBC news and I was wondering finally America under Obama started waking upto the new world.
Guantanamo Bay is set to go away in next year, overseas detention centers have been ordered to be closed and interrogation methods have been reduced to 19 given in the Army Manual (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/23/us/politics/23GITMOCND.html?_r=1&hp, CNN, BBC)

According the the guardian
Scientists reported yesterday the discovery of a gene that increases the chances of becoming hooked on the drug. Addicts were [...]
