By Atiq Raja In the heart of Southeast Asia lies Thailand, a nation that has successfully blended tradition with modernity, monarchy with democracy, and cultural heritage with global progress. Known worldwide for its breathtaking beaches, vibrant cities, rich cuisine, and warm hospitality, Thailand’s development journey stands as a notable example of national vision, resilience, and cohesion. One of Thailand’s defining strengths is its ability to maintain a working balance between its constitutional monarchy and democratic governance. The Thai monarchy has historically played an important cultural and unifying role in society, deeply respected by the public and widely regarded as a…
By Abdul Wahab Munshi When institutions betray merit, resistance becomes a duty. The Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC), once considered a symbol of hope, merit, and opportunity for the youth of Sindh, has unfortunately become a question mark in the eyes of the people. An institution that should have protected talent and rewarded hard work now appears trapped in the politics of favoritism, loyalty, and vested interests. Merit is no longer the defining principle; connections are. Capability is ignored while influence is celebrated. As long as the same mindset, the same corrupt structure, and the same powerful hands continue to…
There are moments in international politics when a country’s projected confidence begins to look less like momentum and more like managed restraint. Over recent years, this tension has become increasingly visible in the way India has positioned itself under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where the language of ascent has not fully disappeared but has begun to sit alongside a more cautious reading of external limits and internal pressures. For much of the previous decade, India’s global narrative was constructed around a sense of inevitability. It was a rising power, technologically dynamic, economically expanding, and increasingly willing to articulate its interests…
By Dr Aliya Kemal Ahsan We look at our children and see an illusion of structural immortality. In the hurried rhythm of a paediatric clinic, checking a child’s blood pressure is too often skipped, treated as a secondary metric and quietly discarded in favor of growth charts, vaccination schedules and developmental milestones. Medicine, like society itself, has long comforted itself with the outdated belief that cardiovascular disease belongs exclusively to middle age, to the exhausted executive, the ageing smoker or the retiree confronting decades of accumulated strain. Yet while attention drifts elsewhere, a quieter and more dangerous biological reality has…
By Anees Baloch In recent years, a common perception has emerged among students and the general public: that the study of philosophy often leads individuals toward atheism. This belief, while widespread, oversimplifies a far more complex relationship between philosophical inquiry and personal belief. This assumption tends to circulate in academic corridors and informal student discussions alike, often reinforced by selective readings of philosophical debates or by visible shifts in worldview among some learners. Yet it reflects less the discipline itself and more the way philosophical exposure is interpreted in social settings. Philosophy is frequently misunderstood as a destination rather than…
By Mehtab Ali In 2026, the world continues to witness devastating humanitarian crises caused by political conflicts and geopolitical rivalries. While powerful states, governments, and armed groups compete for influence and control, it is ordinary civilians who suffer the most. Across different conflict zones, millions of innocent people are struggling to survive without proper food, healthcare, shelter, or security. The situations in Myanmar, Gaza, and other parts of the Middle East clearly show how deeply political conflicts affect human lives. What is increasingly evident in contemporary global politics is the widening gap between strategic objectives and human consequences. Decisions framed…
By Mujeeb Rahman Qambrani MEHAR: Despite the inauguration of the Pakistan Peoples Party K.N. Shah former MPA late Engineer Abdul Aziz Junejo Public Library in Mehar six months ago, the facility has still not been opened for public use. The library was inaugurated by Additional Director of Private Schools Rafiya Mallah, PPP MPA Zubair Ahmed Junejo, Assistant Commissioner Mehar Ghulam Fatima Ghalo and Dr Muhammad Khan Sheikh along with others. Protesting the continued closure, students and civil society members from Mehar city and surrounding areas staged a rally for the 20th consecutive day, marching from the library to the National…
Pakistan’s latest signaling on Gwadar Port reads less like a routine transport announcement and more like an attempt to redraw, however tentatively, the map of Eurasian commerce. At the Kazan Forum, the Prime Minister’s Special Assistant, Talha Burki, outlined an ambition that reaches beyond incremental port development: the integration of Gwadar with Russia’s International North–South Transport Corridor, a route conceived to move freight between Russia, Central Asia, Iran and the Indian Ocean. In Islamabad’s framing, the idea is not simply additive but connective, as though disparate infrastructure projects can be braided into a single continuous artery stretching from northern Eurasia…
