By Jiang Zaidong Ethnic unity and social harmony are not abstract ideals for multiethnic states. They are essential to national security, political stability and sustainable economic development. Where communities with different histories, languages, cultures and traditions share a common state, the ability to manage diversity fairly and peacefully becomes one of the most important tests of governance. China has placed ethnic unity and social stability at the center of its approach to national development. Its argument is that economic progress cannot be sustained where social divisions are allowed to deepen or where questions of national cohesion remain unresolved. Stable institutions, consistent…

By Dr Mehmood Alam Aasi Khurram Jahangiri Some spiritual leaders are remembered for what they preached, scholars for what they wrote, and social leaders for the institutions they built. Rarer are those whose lives bring all three traditions together. Hazrat Shah Jahangir Tajul Arefin Saiyed Moulana Muhammad Areful Hai Quddisa Sirruhu belonged to that tradition.

His answer was expressed less through slogans than through a lifetime of conduct. Faith, in this understanding, should refine character. Knowledge should deepen responsibility. Spiritual…

A country of more than 240 million people, with millions of passionate football followers, continues to remain almost invisible in world football. Pakistan currently languishes near the bottom of the FIFA…

Colonial history offers many examples of attempts to weaken societies that resisted outside control. Derek Walcott’s A Far Cry from Africa, written against the backdrop of the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya, captures the violence and contradictions of colonial rule.

Washington froze Iranian assets soon after…

The recent defence agreement between Pakistan, Türkiye and Saudi Arabia has attracted attention far beyond the countries that signed it. In Tehran, the development has been viewed with unease, with some Iranian voices warning Saudi Arabia against placing excessive reliance on Pakistan and Türkiye for its security. Such apprehensions are understandable in a region where alliances have repeatedly shifted and where military partnerships are rarely viewed in isolation. But they also risk missing a larger reality: the Middle East and its surrounding neighborhood are entering a period in which geography, diplomacy and political access may matter as much as military…
