For the Turks here please note there is absolutely no analogy between Kurds and Kashmiri's other than both being "Ks". Kashmir existed as a separate state when India came into existence on August 1947. Meaning when Indian Republic came into existence on August 1947 the State of Jammu & Kashmir...

I think what has happened is the Kashmir Valley [almost all Muslim and which is ground zero for the troubles] they know the possibility of ever joining Pakistan is less than zero. Also along the way many have become disillusioned with Pakistan so vast majority would go for independance or loose...

Thanks for your detailed post. Yes, I am aware of the "shenanigans" of the ruling elite from 1948 to 1958. I believe in rendering outline of events and not get lost in the minutia. The facts are - both armies went through the process of division and any stress that might lead to political...

Love all that stuff. Time travel to my youth. Always gives me a big smile. To me that is what music is all about. Breakfast Club with Modern Talking. A perfect anti-dote to rainy days.

You need to take a good , hard look at the mother dictatorship that gave all the gifts. And then some. https://defencehub.live/threads/the-first-dictatorship-pakistan-1948-1958.5218/#post-54069

The thing is it is fashion now to blame everything on the army today. Apparently all evils began the day in 1958 when Gen. Ayub Khan took over as the military dictator. What this intentionally ignores is that Pakistan already had a civilian dictatorship from 1948 and full decade to 1958 when the...

So tell me when did they realize PM Imran Khan might "rake up Kashmir" today, yesterday, before or after the "planned visit". I mean PM Imran Khan has been speaking about Kashmir since he assumed office over two years ago. Or was it they made this hidden discovery and then panicked?

Generally speaking most people regard the coup of Gen. Ayub Khan in 1958 as the first dictatorship in Pakistan's history. But is that so? To answer that question let us ask ourselves what dictatorship means. "a form of government in which a ruler or small clique wield absolute power. Clique...

Guys I will get back to you when I finish some reading I am doing. I will be openimng a thread that might be of interest to the guy who blames everything on Pakistan Army.

Amazing. Takes my mind back to 1970s when I was growing up. I was absolutely crazy about Airfix kits. I bought and assembled Spitfire, Hurricane, Dornier, Hienkel and various tanks like Sherman, Tiger, Panther. Assembling the German tanks was a nightmare as the track and wheels were so...

PA desperately needs capable, rugged helicopters to provide close air support and air recon in Balochistan and Af-Pak region which is mostly a plateau rather similiar to Anatolian plateau ranging from 3000-5000 feet. With extreme heat in summer and extreme cold in winter. It's a vast, sparsely...

And please stop pasting images pretending to pass of as relevant to a story about Pakistan. The image you pasted is for Afghanistan. Any Oxford Astrazenca vaccines to Pakistan would be financed by UK and under the Covax programme. Thus not some "gifts"...

Just to clarify Oxford Astrazenaca is a British-Swedish company that became one of the first to get rolled out for use. The British company has insisted that their vaccine will be made available to all the world at cost price. And the British government has funded it under the Covax programme...

The bad news is US Army is susceptible to such extremists. The good news is there is no way Gen. Lloyd Austin will be exposed to such extremism. He is pretty well innoculated from this threat. So expect him to sort this out at the double.

Well noted. Armenia is a exception as you note the country could be described as the diaspora and the diaspora who live across the world as the "country". This is a exception and probably only applies to few other countries like Israel or Ireland.

Honestly, I am always surprised at the extreme blinkered view that has taken hold across the world about Pakistan. Pakistan is a country of extreme contrasts. Millions on the borderlands live in middle ages but millions on the other side of the spectrum live like any modern citizen does and this...

Yes, it is well known fact that diaspora can help to lift countries. The Chinese diaspora has played critical role in the rise of China and now we see the same thing happening with Indian diaspora. Across USA and Western Europe particularly UK there are vast numbers of Pakistan professionals or...

All this demographic inversion happened under the Muslim League rule whose senior leadership was composed of migrants from India. Karachi was made capital of Pakistan until 1959. During this period the Indian migrant community also carved a extraordinary share in jobs and economic sphers of the...

This thread will take a look at what is probably the greatest threat to the Pakistan federation over the next few decades and what can be done to reduce the risks involved. I begin with a quick summary of Sindh which is a province in south east of Pakistan with Karachi as it's capital...

I agree with the thrust of what your saying but like most things in life such issues are very complicated and a nuanced understanding is required. The thing that all red blooded males will have to accept is some men are not like that. Just as human beings come tall, short, dark, strong, weak...
