By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal In the turbulent theatre of modern diplomacy, nations are often compelled to choose between expediency and principle. Some surrender their convictions at the altar of temporary political advantage, while others, though tested by storms and isolation, remain steadfast to the moral compass that defines their national soul. Pakistan belongs to the latter category. Despite persistent speculation and recurring whispers in diplomatic corridors, Pakistan is neither likely nor morally prepared to become part of the Abraham Accords. The reasons are neither emotional nor reactionary. They are rooted in history, faith, international law, and the collective conscience of…

By Dr. Zafar Iqbal In March 2026, the situation was such that a deep silence had enveloped the Muslim world. This silence was used to present the Abraham Accords — the central mantra of the joint US-Israeli campaign in the Middle East — as something sacred, concealing deeply questionable objectives behind a web of deception. By that point, the most brutal and savage massacre of Palestinians had already continued for two and a half years. At the time, we wrote a piece titled “The Abraham Accords and the Deafening Silence.” Today, that very phrase — “deafening silence” — has become a…

By Khpalwak Mohmand The latest notification issued by the education department under the title “Experience No. 421” has once again exposed a troubling disconnect between policy-making and the everyday realities faced by ordinary citizens. Every year, as temperatures rise across Pakistan, authorities announce summer vacations with the promise of protecting students and teachers from dangerous weather conditions. Yet the same authorities quietly reopen schools under different labels such as “summer camps”, effectively forcing attendance despite officially declared holidays. What is presented as a welfare measure quickly turns into an exercise in bureaucratic contradiction, leaving parents, students and teachers frustrated and…

The latest announcement of more than seven billion dollars in agreements between Pakistan and China reads, on the surface, like another milestone in one of Asia’s most durable strategic partnerships. Yet as ever with this relationship, the significance lies less in the scale of the headline figure and more in the long, uneven distance between pledged capital and projects that actually take root in the ground. The deals, unveiled at a business-to-business investment conference in Hangzhou, reflect an ambitious attempt by Pakistan to reposition its economic relationship with China away from dependency on loans and infrastructure credit, and towards a…

By Dr Zawwar Hussain Water is often spoken of as a resource, but that word is too thin for what it actually represents. It is not simply something societies consume; it is the medium through which societies exist at all. Civilisations are shaped around it, economies are stabilised by it, and public health rises or falls depending on its purity. In the case of Pakistan, this reality is written into geography itself. The entire historical, cultural and agricultural life of the country is bound to the flows of the Indus River, a river system that has sustained human settlement for…

By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal In the quiet dignity of retrospect, 28 May 1998 endures as one of the most solemn and elevating moments in Pakistan’s journey as a nation. On that day, amidst the rugged hills of Chagai, our homeland answered provocation with measured resolve, proclaiming through the voice of nuclear capability its unyielding right to self-defence and strategic equilibrium in South Asia. It was not a gesture of bravado but an act of necessity, born of a people long tested by adversity and determined never to bow before existential threat. By the grace of Allah Almighty, Pakistan stood firm,…

By Asghar Ali Mubarak On 28 May, Pakistan marks Youm-e-Takbir, a day that occupies a distinctive and deeply symbolic place in the country’s modern political and strategic identity. It is not simply a commemoration of a scientific milestone, but an assertion of national resolve forged under intense geopolitical pressure at a moment when the balance of power in South Asia was fundamentally altered. The official theme, “The Great Determination, Invincible Pakistan—The Guarantor of Peace, Strong Pakistan,” reflects how this event continues to be interpreted within the national narrative: as a fusion of deterrence, sovereignty, and the claim of regional stability…

By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal The memory arrives with an almost cinematic persistence, as if time has refused to dim its edges. I still recall sitting in a packed cinema hall in the 1970s, watching Ben Hur unfold on the screen in all its sweeping grandeur. It was not merely a film in that moment but an experience of scale and movement, of human ambition rendered through spectacle. The chariot race, in particular, has stayed lodged in the imagination ever since. Charlton Heston’s character, steady and focused, guiding a team of powerful horses locked into a single harness, became an image…
