Letter From Pakistan

Pakistanis are having a ‘pinch me’ moment. ISI’s Faiz Hameed is not ok, but we are

Pakistan Army’s 2018 failed experiment of selecting Imran Khan is a masterclass in how not run your country with a single working brain cell.

Maryam Nawaz’s journey to ‘Takht-e-Lahore’ no small feat. She will restore PML-N’s lost glory

‘India Occupied Pakistan’? WE becoming part of YOU will only be your headache

The Oscars and Golden Globes might have packed up for this season, but they sure missed out on the performance of some Pakistani judges. It is their loss, not ours.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf workers are the new Gandhis. Their inquilab is selfies in prison vans

Cases are piling on by the day and disqualification might be round the corner, but Imran Khan has one worry — why won't Asim Munir talk to him?

Javed Akhtar has given dard-e-disco to every one and their uncle in Pakistan

Today it’s an Indian complaining; yesterday it was ex-Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif—booked for high treason after questioning delay in Mumbai attack trials in 2018.

On Camera

Hrithik Roshan & Jr NTR in Janaab-e-Aali is exactly what a dance-off should not be

Forget comparing it with classics like Hrithik’s Ek Pal Ka Jeena or the slick title track of Dhoom 2, Janaab-e-Aali does not even come close to Ghungroo.

How mining, manufacturing & power sectors weighed on India’s industrial output since January 2024

India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
