Pakistan in terrible pain, need support badlyIt is only the people who make the real difference and rulers and leaders powerful, corrupt, crazy and cruel. People are victimized and become helpless when they become or remain weak, dumb, stupid, misguided and misdirected. They do not or deliberately don’t want to understand the right and wrong and their and other’s rights, freedom, duties and responsibilities. It is such situation, condition and circumstances created by them alone which make the people beggars and rulers rich, corrupt and cr ...

The Case Against Religion
Sunday, 15 August 2010 17:11    PDF Print E-mail
The Case Against ReligionBefore we can talk sensibly about religion – or almost anything else – we should give some kind of definition of what we are talking about. Let me, therefore, start with what I think are some legitimate definitions of the term religion. Other concepts of this term, of course, exist; but what I am talking about when I use it is as follows.According to Webster’s New Word Dictionary, religion is: “(1) belief in a divine or superhuman power or powers to be obeyed and worshipped as the creator(s) and ...

Wednesday, 11 August 2010 17:24    PDF Print E-mail
Politics of AlarmThrough the length and breadth of the country, a chorus of troubled voices is sounding the alarm on Balochistan. Asked to comment on this mounting sense of panic, a senior army officer told The Friday Times: “This is mere alarmism. Alarmists have succeeded in creating a sense of imminent doom.”In other words, chill out; no big deal.Except common sense begs the question: if what is happening in Balochistan is no big deal, why does the army’s – and the state’s – response, today and in the past, wr ...

Social Media and IslamWikipedia is the sum all human knowledge ever acquired; this is what Jimmy Wales thinks, but it’s not necessary that over one billion Muslims of the planet consent him, a Pakistani lawyer named Muhammad Azhar Sidiqque has petitioned the nation’s highest court to charge the three founders of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes with the death penalty.

Dishonored killingsBalochistan does not have a vibrant middle class nor does it have an active civil society. The media are too restricted and operate unprofessionally with the intention not to offend the government and the tribal chiefs. Perhaps it is this reason that Balochistan is absolutely quite even after the barbaric killing of four women in different incidents in a period of barely one week.

Any Lessons From the Ruchika Case ?‏It is our duty to fight every injustice. Or so we rightly feel. But how far can we go?Among other valid points the Ruchika case has once again brought into focus the issue of delayed justice, which may be as good as justice denied.
