Topic: Pakistan

Pakistan is a South Asian country and western neighbour of India. It was created in 1947 after being partitioned from India during independence. It has longstanding border disputes with India and is currently reeling under economic and political issues.

Winning 1971 again

Shekhar Gupta -
The East Pakistani revolt has to be seen not just as a Bengali challenge to the politically and militarily dominant Punjabi West, but also as a questioning of the two-nation theory.

Be very afraid

Shekhar Gupta -
The Pakistani establishment knows only one trick works — in fact, it always works. It is a provocation, and an escalation of tensions with India.

The arresting moment

Shekhar Gupta -
US's destruction of the Fai network is one of the most important turning points in India’s ongoing battle with Pakistan-sponsored Kashmir militancy.

This death in Pakistan

Shekhar Gupta -
With the assassination of Salman Taseer, Pakistan lost one of its most articulate, modern and fearless liberal leaders who was a genuine Pakistani patriot and a proud Muslim.

A midnight call from Pak and a lesson in AFSPA

Shekhar Gupta -
AFSPA, which was supposed to enable controlled, Army operations under civilian domain is now the villain of peace in two Valleys — Kashmir and Imphal.

Them and US

SGIN -
It would be an error to see in US envoy Richard Holbrooke’s uncharacteristic near-apology a vindication of India’s rising power. It is, though, indicative of the rise of a new & weakening America.

The next attack

Shekhar Gupta -
India has had peace not only because of luck and vigilance at its end but also because somebody has chosen to put their foot on the valve at the other end.

His Af, our Pak

Shekhar Gupta -
While we build infrastructure in Afghanistan, we must also change our approach to Pakistan, come out of the post-26/11 sulk, and engage with its imperfect democratic establishment.

The big rewrite

SGIN -
In a shift from usual bilateral summits of minor tactical moves, US and India for the first time are talking less of Pakistan's compliance on incidents, but instead on its very future.

Crisp khaki, black hole

Shekhar Gupta -
You ask any Pakistani and he will tell you heroic stories of the work done by NGOs, and even individuals, but equally, you will hear stories of official ineptitude and insensitivity.

Opinion

Stop targeting Galgotias University students. Focus on politicians instead

Akanksha Mishra -
Going through their Instagrams and dissecting their ‘statements’ is not the astute political commentary you think it is—it is time for us to back off from targeting 20-year-olds.

How a North Indian Muslim woman saw Wayanad—inclusive mosques, mangalsutras for non-Hindus

BJP needs to be Bengalified. Go beyond rosogolla, eat pantabhaat, know what’s hodol kutkut

Economy

High capacity usage, fresh borrowings & new orders — why FY25 could be a big year for pvt investment

TCA Sharad Raghavan -
Companies are borrowing more from banks and public. Economists say high capacity utilisation & growing new orders could set stage for renewed investment push by India Inc.

Defence

China builds road through Shaksgam Valley, India registers protest

Snehesh Alex Philip -
New Delhi has, in past, too, objected to Chinese construction activities in Shaksgam Valley. Work in this strategic region gathered pace after the 2017 Doklam stand-off.

National Interest

Frontrunner is letting the challenger define this poll campaign. Modi still hasn’t found a big theme

Shekhar Gupta -
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
