Educational Policies in Political Manifestos and their Failure

-
One and half year ago, the current political party took hold of the government and declared its policies for all the aspects of government. Talking of current government and the political instability that this government is facing whether because of its own decision or because of strong opposition, It is childish to resurface the issue we have been facing since the day of independence . And that issue is our weak educational policies. This is not just the case with the current government but if we look back into the previous democratic government along with the dictatorship, there had been no such government that was capable of implementing a strong educational policy. Looking into our present situation of lagging behind in every aspect of development no matter whether it’s science and technology or sports and health. Along them our educational policies has been annihilating our development in every order. Now, why is this so? The educational policy, one government tries to implemen

India-Pakistan Relations

-
Image
Relations between India and Pakistan have been complex due to a number of historical and political events. Relations between the two states have been defined by the violent partition of British India in 1947, the Kashmir conflict and the numerous military conflicts fought between the two nations . India and Pakistan are two immediate neighbouring countries of South-Asia. Seven decades have passed; the relations of these two unfortunate countries have never been normal and are at their lowest level today. The clash of their national interests and unresolved issues are the main reasons. Indo-Pak relations are an elaborate chapter and therefore should be seen in the light of their long historic background. India and Pakistan both had been created on the basis of “Two Nation” theory and under the formula of Hindu majority areas of the Sub-Continent as an independent sovereign India and the Muslims –majority areas as Pakistan. The hawkish Hindu political leaders of India, who had for a

Ghani Khan — the poet of beautiful contradictions, The Poet-Painter (1914-1996)

-
Image
Khan Abdul Ghani khan (1914-1996) was the son of Khan Abdul Ghaffar khan khan, Known as Bacha khan (1890-1988) who was a political activist. Unlike his father and and his brother, Khan Abdul khan, Ghani khan was a poet, painter and sculptor par excellence. Although he is well known as a poet both nationally and internationally, very few people are aware that he was a painter and a sculptor, too. However, the great Abdul Ghani Khan defies such attempts to box him. Indeed, he was crazy but he was a lot of other things too. Ghani has the multifaceted personality of one of the greatest Pashto poets, his verses having strains of romanticism, nationalism, humanism and a scathing animosity towards the social contract theory. Ghani was the eldest child of the revered independent activist Abdul Ghaffar Khan; however, he shunned politics and became a painter, sculptor and a poet par excellence. Ghani khan was born in 1914 in Hashtnagar, Charsadda, or ancient Pushkalavati, which was the ca

The History of the Afghanistan war

-
Image
The war in Afghanistan began back in 2001. A group called the Taliban had controlled most of the country since 1996 but they were overthrown in November 2001 by British and American armed forces, as well as lots of Afghan fighters from a group called the Northern Alliance. Why was there a war? During the time that the Taliban controlled Afghanistan, they allowed an organisation called al-Qaeda to have training camps there. In September 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The United States believed that Osama Bin Laden - who was the head of al-Qaeda - was the man behind these attacks. There was a lot of international pressure on the Afghan leaders to hand over Osama Bin Laden. When the Taliban didn't do this, the United States decided they would use their armed forces. In October 2001, the USA began bombing Afghanistan. They targeted bin Laden's al-Qaeda fighters and also the Taliban. In November 2001, the Northern Alliance to

Real Talk

REAL TALK: One of the lessons that Ramzan is meant to teach us is to avoid wastefulness and to be modest in consumption and expenditure. Unfortunately, restaurants and food outlets COMPLETELY capitalise on Ramzan and offer extravagant buffets with prices through the roof and SO much of it being wasted. It makes me really sad that the lesson we spend learning through the day, is thrown out the window the very second time’s up. I know none of us are happy about this culture. But we can discourage it, if we JUST STOP going to these ridiculous buffets. This isn’t about affordability you guys, I’m all for doing things if you can afford them, but THIS is pure wastefulness and completely ruins the concept of Ramzan. Let’s be modest in consumption. Let’s discourage this shameful culture! If you wanna eat out, eat where the deals are nice, less extravagant and there is no waste such as there is in buffets! 🙏🏽🤗 #Ramzan #modesty
