Pakistan Watch - Socio-political
- News & Analysis about Pakistan's socio-political and socio-economic aspects.
- Do you know what this is?
- This is the tomb of a boy named Ilm-ud-din in Lahore.
- Known locally as Ghazi Ilm Din Shaheed Tomb.
- Why is he revered?
- Because in 1929, he killed a Hindu publisher named Mahashe Rajpal for publishing a 'blasphemous' book Rangila Rasul.
+
+
- Here are some other images from his tomb.
- Goes w/o saying that even 90+ years after he 'avenged' the insult to Prophet Mohammad, by killing the Kaffir Hindu, he remains a revered figure.
+
+
- This is funeral procession of Ilm Din, led by Imam of masjid Wazeer Khan, Imam Muhammed Shamsuddeen.
- Allama Iqbal can be seen sitting in the front row.
- BTW, he was hanged and buried in Mianwali.
- But a committee of Muslim 'notables' led by Allama Muhammad Iqbal +
+ petitioned Britishers to hand-over his body so that Muslims could give him a proper burial.
- It is said that between 200,000 to 400,000 people attended his funeral procession.
- Muslim traders of Lahore organized a one day strike in his honor.
+
+
- Do you know what Allam Iqbal said about this bod?
- He said, “ assi gallan e kardey rah gaye te tarkhana da munda bazi ley gya”.
- To paraphrase - "All we did was engage in useless discussion while this son of a carpenter has achieved the glory"
+
+
- The father of Illm-din asked Allam Iqbal to lead his son's funeral prayers but Iqbal declined and is said to have replied that I am a sinful person not competent to do this job to lead the funeral of such a matchless warrior.
- Poster of Illm-din.
- So, now please tell me, why are people surprised by the killing, and burning of a Sri Lankan manager in Pakistan on charges of blashphemy?
- Mumtaz Qadri:
Who killed Pakistani Punjab Governor Salman Taseer because he spoke against blasphemy laws being facilitated by Pakistani crowd even while in custody.
- Ahmed Nawaz:
Security guard at a bank in Pakistan who killed his manager, accusing him of blasphemy. You can see the crowd cheering him, wanting to touch and kiss him.
Again, you're surprised by this?

Thread on India's left, liberal and Islamists jamaat daydreaming about Bangladesh type revolution in India. It matters not them if the country burns in return.

(1) Sold out journalist passing sermons on probity to others.Image
(2) This 'health' journalist was last heard passing doomsday scenarios about India during COVID times.Image
(3) Another Islamist thug and apologist passing sermons. Someone tell him that if Modi does even 1/100th of what SH did in Bangladesh, he will be the first person to piss his pants.Image

Royal family which chose to stay in Pakistan post partition and whose rulers actively participated in Pakistani politics along side Bhutto.
⬆️This seems to have irked self-declared defenders of Rajput pride.
- And they're hiding behind the technicality of Amarkot (renamed now as Umerkot) being a Jagir and not a Princely State and hence, had no say in partition.
- What these geniuses will not tell you is that the +
+ then Rana of Amarkot (Rana Arjun Singh) actually fought the decisive 1946 election under Muslim League and won!
- Imagine, his predominantly Hindu electorate voted for their Rana in an election which marked the call for partition of India.
- Jinnah was also very keen +

Meta guy was giving a way out to @thewire_in by bringing in 'Wire might've been subjected to a hoax' angle rather than directly accusing them of forgery. Rather then take the lifeline, our commie journalist gang is doubling down on digging a deeper hole for themselves.
By trying to brazen it out on a technology related issue on Twitter, Wire has exposed itself to Indian RW crowd - many of whom could wipe the floor with Wire's tech team with their pinky finger! Don't cry when you'll be shredded to pieces.
#Wire
All that Meta did was put out two statements with a consistent message - report by Wire is based on fabricated documents. Wire desperately tried to prove itself correct but ended-up digging an even bigger hole for itself. And today, Wire has thrown in the towel. And how!

- BTW, when people crib about order qty for systems like LCH, please understand that production rate has to match the absorption rate with a Service.
- It takes time to create infra and more critically, trained manpower to operate & maintain a new system.
- Larger the existing+
+ pool, easier and faster to absorb a new system.
- Take the case of artillery - it has a huge manpower and infra pool to quickly absorb new guns.
- Plus, new guns while being more modern, are not radically different from earlier guns.
- Army Aviation Corps is in an +
+ expansion phase.
- Cheetah, Chetak, Dhruvs, Rudra and now LCH.
- There is only that much manpower available to milk and divert for new inductions and raising(s).
- I expect pilots from IA's Rudra squadrons to form nucleus of LCH induction.
- But manpower is limited and +

- Here are some interesting points on the disengagement site discussed by @VishnuNDTV
- First, these Chinese posts are opposite PP15 in the side valley going north from Kugrang River.
- Its NOT in Gogra or Hot Springs region which have PP17A, PP17 and PP18
- Map in next tweet +
- Overview of the Chang-Chenmo Sector.
- You can see PP15&16, Chinese claim line (red) and location of the Chinese site under discussion.
- The LAC here is not in dispute here and this is the first time Chinese have created claim extending across their 1959 claim line and LAC +
+ Why were the Chinese acting antsy here?
- Because PP15 leads directly to upper reaches of Galwan river (blue line) which has large Chines presence.
- Chinese fear Indian attack along this axis.
- Forget direct assault; even Indian artillery placed in Kugrang Valley can +

Future IT Hub?
- Given another episode of infra woes in Bangalore, questions are being asked, again, as to why no other city can emerge as the IT hub?
- Let me share with you a real world experience from my professional life, which I hope will answer this +
#bangalorerains
+ question to some extent.
- Many moons ago, I was consulting for a big developer, who for some reason had huge land bank in Mysore.
- A part of their leadership believed that given the proximity of Mysore to Bangalore, IT/ITES office demand will spill into Mysore as well.
+
+ Some others were skeptical and this is where my company came into picture.
- How do you address this question?
- Well, we devised a plan where we basically went and met a wide variety of IT/ITES companies in Bangalore and Mysore to take their opinion on Mysore as possible +
