EDITORIAL

North Waziristan — not yet?

Killing learning

CONTRIBUTORS

Loving our tormentors

Salman Rashid

Pakistanis simply fail to see an enemy if he wears a long beard and skullcap (or turban) and speaks Arabic.

Looking beyond Osama

Yaqoob Khan Bangash

A higher literacy rate might actually translate into greater support and sophistication for terrorists.

Balancing interests in Afghanistan

Tanvir Ahmad Khan

India-Pakistan rivalry in Afghanistan has a long and vexed history and it will continue indefinitely.

Economic growth and the budget

Dr Akmal Hussain

Finance and Planning Commission has responded with rare clarity and vision to address the economic crisis.

What about those who beg to differ?

Ayesha Siddiqa

Pakistan is at a juncture with a poorly done political vision versus a national security vision of the country.

State, identity and foreign policy

Khaled Ahmed

Flexible foreign policy favours a normal state. But if you have ideology driving policy, then ‘fixity’ becomes a flaw.

A budget for all parties

Dr Pervez Tahir

Near an election, the budget is not to be judged by the realism of its projections, but by the size of subsidies.

And then there was no one left to speak out for me

Dr Tariq Rahman

While soldiers honour each other in death and captivity, the poor journalist is degraded and abused by his killers.

Facing the environment challenges before us

Ahmad Rafay Alam

The disproportionate importance environmental issues get, one wonders the relative importance it gets in the budget.

Silencing Pakistan

Mohsin Hamid

Those who seek to change the narrative, can be silenced in Pakistan. The socially liberal will be denied their voice.

Is America really our Enemy No 1?

Raza Rumi

The enemy is somewhere within, deep into the Pakistani psyche which inherits an ‘invasion-threat’ to land and God.

The health of the economy

Dr Pervez Tahir

Public sector investment crowding in the private sector investment has far-reaching implications for long-term growth.
