The Effects of Extreme Gender Segregation in Pakistani society

In Pakistan, severe gender segregation prevails in many areas and among many people, where women are often viewed not as individuals but as objects to be concealed from men.

Responding to Critiques of the role of Urdu as a Cultural Identity of Pakistan

In the circle of linguistic discussions and the political dispute of India and Pakistan, a common critique voiced by many Indian nationalists towards Pakistan is that Urdu essentially belongs to India, which Pakistan has adopted as its national language.

At that time, Muslims chose Persian as their official language in India, while the local Hindu populace in northern India spoke languages like Khariboli, Braj Bhasha, Awadhi, and others. As Persian loanwords and vocabulary seeped into these languages, a new language emerged, which we now refer to as Urdu. However, this is merely a historical perspective. When the British colonial rule took hold in India, a significant event occurred known as the Urdu-Hindi controversy (1867). This event played a crucial role in the establishment of Pakistan. At that time, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan al...

When the two hijacked planes crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in the New York City of the U.S. This was regarded as the biggest "terrorist attack" in history.
