The Circus of 1857

Recently I was talking to a friend in Malaysia and she asked me to define what does farce means and I was startled at her question first and that of telling her that it means a ridiculous situation but then I asked her to wait until the weekend and read my blog to have a better incite on the word. The last Mughal Emperor of India Bahadur Shah Zafar asscended the throne in 1837 when he was little over 60 years of age. He was last in the lineage of Mughal emperors who ruled over India for about 300 years. Bahadur Shah Zafar was a weak ruler who came to throne when the Britis

Lucid Ambiguity – Oh La – La

Chief Justice Iftikhar Chowdhery’s son Arsalan Iftikhar’s corruption of at least PKRS 400 million has come to fore. If you all remember then he is the same Dr. Arsalan who was first caught during General Pervaiz Musharaf’s regime by journalist Ansar Abbasi for misusing his father’s position to get posting in police as an ASP and Assistant Director in Federal Investigation Agency. Mr Abbasi preferred to ‘pardon’ him once the free judiciary movement kicked off after the sacking of Justice Chowdhery by General Musharraf. Now, Dr. Arsalan Iftikhar, a police – cum – realtor, is

The Crescent & The Five-Rayed Star

August 14, 1947 is the day engraved in gold in the history of Pakistan. It is the day when Pakistan attained its freedom from the clutches of a long slavery of over 200 years of the British rule. It was a long and hard struggle in which many people laid down their lives for our beloved motherland. Pakistan came into existence following the Pakistan movement, which aimed for creation of an independent Muslim state by partition of the Indian subcontinent and was led by the All-India Muslim League under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The event occurred with the partiti
