The soldiers of the military are recognized worldwide for their bravery and enthusiasm. International Business Times ranked the ISI as the top intelligence
stronger than its neighbour, or at least as strong. The neighbour, in turn, also fears attack or political intimidation. It understands that its best interests lie in increasing its strength to forestall either contingency or, if necessary, in winning a war, should matters go that far. There was very strong perception among the Congress leaders that Pakistan is not economically viable state and it could not survive. Maulana Abul Kalam Azad revealed that among others Sardar
On 26 March, 1971 the independence of Bangladesh was declared and the Liberation War began. The people of then-East Pakistan took part in this war to liberate Bangladesh from the oppression of military leaders of Pakistan. Independence for Bangladesh was gained through a nine-month civil war against the Pakistani Army, which resulted in the loss of about 3 million lives.[2] The Mukti Bahini (Bengali "freedom fighters"), with military support from India, defeated the Pakistani Army on 16 December
While campaigning for last year’s national vote, Narendra Modi promised a “new chapter” in Indo-Pak history if he became India’s Prime Minister (P.M). Instead, bilateral relations during his year and a half in office have not budged past a prologue both exhausting and marred by testy cross-border rhetoric. All that has changed now, at least on the surface. After Modi pleasantly surprised Pakistan by gatecrashing P.M Nawaz Sharif’s birthday party on December 25, there is hope for a new era, or at
While campaigning for last year’s national vote, Narendra Modi promised a “new chapter” in Indo-Pak history if he became India’s Prime Minister (P.M). Instead, bilateral relations through his first year and a half in office stuck to a prologue both fractious and pinned by testy cross-border rhetoric. All that has changed now, at least on the surface. After Modi pleasantly surprised Pakistan by gatecrashing P.M Nawaz Sharif’s birthday party on December 25, there is hope for a new era, or at least
The present study is based on the idea of displacement as the major theme of the selected short stories of Jhumpa Lahiri’s “Interpreter of maladies”. The book contains nine short stories and each one of them deals with the question of identity, alienation, and plight of those who are physically and psychologically displaced. But I would like to limit my studies to the three short stories from the collection viz. “When Mr. Pirzada came to dine”, Interpreter of Maladies”, and “Mrs. Sen’s”. The migration

Kashmir, and its ruler Maharaja Hari Singh, could choose to join either India or Pakistan. Unable to decide which nation to join, Hari Singh chose to remain neutral. Nevertheless, in October 1947, the Kashmir conflict officially began with the Pakistani invasion of Kashmir and
Nuclear weapons have been a point of contention ever since their discovery. At the turn of the century however, as developing country’s in the semi-periphery, such as India, began pursuing these nuclear weapons for their own national security, and the countries in the core have focused efforts toward nuclear nonproliferation agreements while they maintain nuclear power. From a world system theory approach, these countries in the core were attempting to maintain economic regional control over nuclear
partition, India had a shortcoming in food, more specifically grains. This partition only further aggravated the problem. This can be seen through India having 82% of the population, but only producing 65% of the total crops. This was not so for the Pakistani population as they produced about one million tonnes of surplus food. The partition was therefore conducive in precipitating a net loss of 700,000 - 800,000 of annual supply in the Indian union. Additionally, the partition also initiated a severe
