Jinnah wasn't born in Wazir Mansion, so where was his actual birthplace?

Image
Pakistan’s founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah, like all major personalities in history, is a contradictory figure. Many, with different ideological backgrounds and motivations, claim him. While these claims are an outcome of political and social vicissitudes, one would expect that at least there would be consensus over Jinnah’s year, date and city of birth. But it’s not so simple.

Image
THE CODE OF HAMMURABI HAMMURABI RECEIVING CODE OF LAWS FROM SUN GOD SHAMSH. INTRODUCTION The Code of Hammurabi was inscribed on a stele and placed in a public place so that all could see it, although it is thought that few were literate.

The code of Hammurabi contained 282 laws, written by scribes on 12 tablets. Unlike earlier laws, it was written in Akkadian, the daily language of Babylon, and could therefore be read by any literate person in the city.

CPEC: Is there cause for alarm? CPEC is not another East India Company by Khuram Husain

Image
A number of articles in the past week have created some undue anxiety about the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Let us put it in plain English at the outset: CPEC is not another East India Company. That comparison is specious and entirely unhelpful, even if some find it useful purely as a metaphor.

This structure is being constructed to support the almost 27-kilometres-long elevated track for the country’s first rapid transit train project, the Lahore Orange Line Metro Train.

15 points for the improvement of the criminal justice system by MOHAMMAD ALI BABAKHEL

Image
WHILE disposing of a civil petition recently, the Supreme Court opted for a diagnostic approach and incorporated 15 points for the improvement of the criminal justice system. One, taking cognisance of the inconvenience often confronted by complainants regarding non-registration of FIRs, the court explicitly pronounced that under Section 154 of the CrPC, the police have no discretion to decline registration. Two, to discourage false complaints where applicable, cases under Sections 182 and 211 are to be registered. Three, many individuals are nominated as the accused in the FIR registered for a single case, particularly in the rural areas. Such tactics are employed to book as many male members from the accused side as possible. To discourage such practices the court observed that “no person should be arrested unless there is sufficient evidence available with the police to support such arrest”.

Image
  1. Firstly the difference was constitutional. The Orthodox Caliphate was an elective republican state. The Umayyad Caliphate, on the contrary, became a hereditary monarch. 2. Secondly, the Orthodox Caliphate was a religio-political Commonwealth. But Umayyad Caliphate was a secular state, such as could exist in the ancient times. Many of the Umayyad caliphs were not particularly loyal to the Political implication and private lives. 3. Thirdly, though Arabian in origin and personnel, Orthodox Caliphate was not Arabistic in policy and purpose. The Umayyad Caliphate, on the contrary, was as Wellhausen says an Arab Kingdom, that is, a government of the Arabs by the Arabs and for the Arabs. The Arabs formed its ruling class and monopolised its political power and economic privileges. The non-Arabs, even though they be Muslims were excluded from a Share in its government and its political, economic and social benefits. In other words while the Arabs were its f...

Explain how Kalabag dam is bone of contention between the provinces? what is the actual reality behind the relics of Kalabag dam. Is Kalabag the panacea to all our Sufferings?    THE UNTOLD FACTS — I  Naseer Memon September 4, 2016. DEBUNKING THE MYTHS ABOUT THE CONTROVERSIAL KALABAGH DAM. Recently, a serving chairman of Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda), launched a campaign in favour of the Kalabagh Dam. His article ‘Kalabagh Dam — sifting facts from fiction’ was published in newspapers in many parts. Zafar Mahmood, who has now resigned as chairman Wapda, brought to the fore several facts but left several facts untold. It was unbecoming for the head of Wapda to use his official position to lend favour to a project that has been repudiated by the elected assemblies and people of three provinces. They were forced to think that, perhaps, only an official from Punjab could enjoy this liberty. This episode further tarnished the federal character...

So shall you reap : Side-effect part-I

Image
Part - I Side-effect The writer is a poet and author based in Islamabad. There may be nothing new for some informed and insightful readers today. But it is important to reiterate what we have gone through at the hands of Western imperial ambition to control the global economy on the one hand and our own intellectual and political frailties across the Muslim world on the other. Today, the combination of the two makes us, and the rest of the world, suffer from the scourge of extreme forms of terrorism in the name of Islam. Who emerged as popular leaders in the Muslim-majority countries of the world in the 1950s and 1960s – irrespective of their internal strife and inconsistencies – with many succeeding to form political governments? Some of the prominent among them were Sukarno in Indonesia, Mohammad Mossadegh in Iran, Gamal Abdel Nasser in Egypt, Ahmed Ben Bella in Algeria, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in Pakistan, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in Bangladesh and Muammar Al-Gaddafi in Lib...
