I firmly believe that a person, who fails to raise his
voice against injustice(s) or as a minimum verbally
denounce zullam, is not much better than a wild beast.
Equally true, a society can never flourish where rules
and laws are being implemented selectively.
A
good friend of mine forwarded me a news item the other

With
great interest I read the article “Rethinking
the National Security of Pakistan”, published
in the May 2003 issue of DJ. I am glad the learned writer,
Mr. Ahmad Faruqui, has invited comments.
As
a prelude to my comments I want to mention that India
has been aspiring to become a big power, a permanent...more

Mr.
Kaiser Tufail’s account of the role of a Pakistani
air force officer in 1967 Arab-Israeli war was an interesting

Muslim countries and its impact on these societies has
not been seriously studied...more

We
have learnt so much about our wars with India through
your esteemed journal. Many things which were classified
or may be were just too unpleasant were pushed under
the rug.
There
is one aspect that does not seem to have come out fully
and that was the apparent air superiority of the IAF
on the borders of West Pakistan. Our unit was moving
in broad daylight and some vehicles...more

Muslims
as “Saviours of Dalits” & Pakistan
The
Muslims are considered as “Saviours of Dalits”
in sub-continent by most of the educated persons of
the so-called “untouchables”. Before the
advent of Islam, there was not a single person in whole
of the sub-continent to oppose classifying the human
beings upon birth. It is ...more

WI
must confess that I used to consider Defence Journal,
and its Managing Editor Mr. Ikram Sehgal bias, an unofficial
mouthpiece of the military, with no credibility. And,
as a result, never had any special respect, trust for
either of them.

judgement....more
