The recent revelations regarding American weaponry abandoned in Afghanistan and its subsequent role in fueling militancy in Pakistan are both deeply alarming and, in many ways, predictable. For years, Pakistani authorities have sounded warnings about the risks posed by sophisticated arms falling into the wrong hands. Now, reports from CNN and other US media outlets have provided confirmation, painting a stark picture of the unintended consequences of a foreign military withdrawal that was hasty, ill-planned, and insufficiently accountable. The very tools once heralded as instruments of liberation and counterterrorism have, in an ironic and troubling twist, become enablers of terror…

By Atiq Raja For more than seven decades, Kashmir has remained one of the world’s most emotionally charged and politically complex disputes. Often reduced in international discourse to lines on a map, ceasefire arrangements, or strategic calculations, the reality on the ground is far more intimate, tragic, and enduring. For the people of Kashmir, this is not merely a territorial dispute between states—it is a human story of identity, dignity, and the right to choose one’s own future. At its heart lies a question both simple and profound: can Kashmir ever exist as a homeland where its people live with…

By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal Conflicts among human societies are as old as civilization itself. Differences of belief, territory, power, and perception have repeatedly driven nations and communities into confrontation. History shows that such disputes are resolved in only a few recognized ways: through the imposition of force, through reconciliation by mutual consent, or through impartial mediation underpinned by law and moral authority. Where none of these paths is pursued sincerely, conflicts harden over time, embedding themselves into collective memory and passing unresolved from one generation to the next. Since the mid-twentieth century, the world has witnessed only a few disputes…

By Asghar Ali Mubarak February 5 is observed as Kashmir Solidarity Day, a day in support of the right to self-determination. The Kashmir issue remains the largest obstacle to peace in the subcontinent, and until the United Nations implements its resolutions, lasting peace cannot be established in the region. Kashmir Solidarity Day serves as a reminder to Pakistanis of the ongoing dispute and the importance of standing up for justice and human rights. According to senior analyst Asghar Ali Mubarak, the Kashmir issue emerged immediately after the partition of the subcontinent, when the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir acceded to…

Pakistan is once again grappling with a familiar and painful reality: a renewed wave of terrorism that has left its deepest scars on Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In recent months, attacks on security forces, state infrastructure, laborers and civilians have intensified, reviving memories of a conflict many believed had been pushed to the margins. This resurgence is not accidental, nor does it appear spontaneous. Its pattern, timing and targets suggest a deliberate strategy, one that thrives on instability and feeds on the vulnerabilities of a region already burdened by poverty, underdevelopment and long-standing grievances. To treat this violence as a…

By Atiq Raja Sometimes, solitude protects what the wrong people slowly destroy. From an early age, we are told that humans are inherently social creatures, that connection is survival, and that loneliness is something to fear. Friendship, companionship, and community are celebrated as essential ingredients of a fulfilling life. Yet, while connection is powerful, it is not always beneficial. Not all company nourishes; some relationships drain more than they give, confuse more than they clarify, and weaken more than they support. In such circumstances, choosing isolation is not a punishment—it is an act of protection. The insidiousness of bad company…
