He claimed that Chinese forces had turned two strategic hilltops occupied by Indian soldiers “into a microwave oven”, forcing them to retreat, and allowing the positions to be retaken without an exchange of conventional fire. “Within 15 minutes of the weapons being deployed, those occupying the hilltops all began to vomit. They couldn’t stand up, so they fled. This was how we retook the ground,” the professor (does he really exist?) reportedly told his students during a lecture. This re...

  This is an old map. Only to highlight certain issues.  Pakistan recently declared that  Gilgit and Baltistan will be its  fifth province . It has announced its decision to hold the GB Assembly  elections on November 15 . It is an illegal step. It is a repeat act by Pakistan during Independence when the area was usurped illegally with perfidy.  It has major implications for the region. It needs analysis.    Gilgit-Baltistan shares borders with, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (West), Wakhan Corridor (North), Xinjiang (East and NE), Kashmir Valley (South) and Leh (SE). It is also known as Balwaristan. It encompasses an area of approximately 73000 sq km with a population of about 2 million. Literacy rate is high. Its topography is like Leh. High wind-swept plains and snow-clad mountains. It is in the lap of the greatest mountain ranges of the world – Hindukush, Pamirs, Karakorams and Himalayas. Agriculture and Mountaineering Tourism dom...

Something I discovered...for anything in Pakistan there is a precedence and there is a cartoon for it which says everything better than most words.    The opening partnership in Pakistan is continuing unabated. Run rate is slow. However the pace is fast and never ending…always threatening  to get out…always in super over mode... we often forget that Pakistan is the only nation where cricket is played with two batsmen from the same end……. When you read Pakistani papers, things meander along and suddenly there is a burst of activity and one gets rare insights into Pakistan. Here are a few more….click on the heading and you will go to the original article.         The Swindle Without End   For the past two years, we have seen one sector of the economy after another get hit by price spirals, attributed largely to a ste...
