By Ali Yar Khan • Apr 22nd, 2008 • Category: Politics

The truth is that if we Pakistanis really need to become noble in the cluster of nations and want to really embrace the new world with dignity and want to be a contributer rather than a receiver than we have to focus on our education system on war footings.
The need of the hour is that [...]

Aside of the legal mumbo jumbo, which says that the the condition of graduation is in clash with the Article 17 and 25 of the Constitution and so it is abolished, the thing is that it really makes no difference at all as far as the caliber and level of our legislatures is concerned.

You would be astonished as well if you could see scores of people deputed in a small shop busy in tearing the first page out of every book. This was the scene I witnessed in a shop at Urdu Bazaar Lahore, the other day. It didn’t take much time to realize as to what was [...]

Most people I know say that the recent apathy and disinterest of voters in Pakistan is simply because youth is not interested in politics.

Pakistani Voters Let’s Talk About Change

By Ali Yar Khan • Feb 12th, 2008 • Category: Pakistan Vote'08, Politics, Worth A Second Look

Change is the only constant and the world is rabidly following this constant. Even Pakistan is changing like the other world, but our change is not in our hands, as we are not its agents.
