This post has been a long time coming and should have been written a long time ago. It is a scandalous and sad fact that Pakistan and her writ across the beautifaul Sarhad province and the surrounding Tribal areas has all but decimated over recent years.
The satantic Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan has spread her tentacles across the province. [...]
Today marks the first anniversary of Other Pakistan. It all began on 22 June 2007 with 14 unforgettable words:
My greatest regret is that I only have one life to lose for Pakistan
Other Pakistan’s success has surprised me and I unreservedly thank all the readers, visitors, guest writers and one and all for making Other Pakistan the success [...]
The title of this post is inspired by Ernest Hemmingway’s classic novel ‘The Old Man and the Sea’. However its focus is the story of an old lady and her participance in the now legendary long march of last week. The ninety-year old Aziz Begum chose to stand tall for the cause despite her age, [...]
Other Pakistan’s ‘nara’ or slogan for the long march is simple and catchy, please pass it on so it can be sung today on the ground as we enter Rawalpindi and Islamabad:

A more detailed post will follow soon and apologies in [...]
Reverend Martin Luther King said that ‘injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere’. Such a message is particularly apt and sadly true for today’s Pakistan still living under Musharraf’s martial law that broke even notorious Pakistani records of army rule. Hail King Musharaff and his judicial coup!From Bajaur to Bahawalpur a flower of hope [...]
The nation must hear and bear the tragic news that the PPP is officially lost at sea, missing and AWOL. Some commentators argue that it still exists in all her glory standing for democracy and the downtrodden and wretched of this land of the pure. If only this was true ….I am saddened to say [...]
Pakistan’s civil bureaucracy has for too long played the role of a seedy mistress to the ever lustful military leadership of this land of the pure. As a dynamic duo both have complimented the other in their acts of ommission and commission over sixty years and have turned Pakistan into a ‘maasilistan’.These bureaucracrats as a [...]
On the eve of the April 30 Murree declaration deadline I wanted to place on record my views on the subject. I have refrained from commenting on the issue up till now as I had hoped the PPP would be interested in extinguishing the fire that is today Pakistan, instead they seem ‘Duracell-ready’ to inflame [...]
