Pakistan’s politico-military tango: Relationship fractured by deep State

Pakistan’s politico-military tango: Relationship fractured by deep State

The idea of Pakistan as an Islamic democracy that offered space for other religions and cultures to coexist within an Islamic State vanished with the death of its founder and first Governor General, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. What has emerged since is a State that has demonstrated a fractured and unstable politico-military relationship that has seriously impeded Pakistan’s evolution from a colony to a modern State.   General Asim Munir is a radicalised general in the Zia mould who has plunged the politico-military dynamics in Pakistan to a new low (Reuters) There are three main themes that highlight the politico-military dynamics that exist in Pakistan. The first is an absence of consistent political acumen and the widespread corruption within Pakistan’s political parties since its creation, which has offered space for the military to step in and offer notions of stability and power to its people. Pakistan’s political instability relative to India is exemplified by the fact that it has had 24 prime ministers compared to India’s 14.   The second theme that merits attention is the political rise …

Ranji Trophy, Tamil Nadu vs Saurashtra: Left-arm spin twin tango of Sai Kishore and Ajith Ram bamboozles Saurashtra for 183 | Cricket News

There was a high degree of calmness and assuredness in Tamil Nadu’s ranks on Friday. If facing defending champions Saurashtra in their first Ranji Trophy quarterfinal appearance in six years itself was a daunting task, they were made to bowl first against a batting line-up that includes an in-form Cheteshwar Pujara, a master when it comes to blunting attacks. And as the day ended around 4.45 pm, it was Tamil Nadu who looked the more assertive of the two sides, with their captain R Sai Kishore leading from the front with a 5-wicket haul, to dismiss Saurashtra for 183 at the SNR College grounds here. At stumps, the hosts were 23/1. This was a day where the conditions tested Tamil Nadu to the core. There was turn on the surface, but it wasn’t venomous and they had to be disciplined at all times. Thanks to the early summer that sets in, the temperatures have been hitting the mid-30s, with the ground-staff doing everything they can in the lead up to the match to prevent it …

Takes two to Tango

One of the fundamentals of an on-screen romantic offering, one would agree, must be the chemistry between the two lead characters. However, this spark, he says, is usually captured when two artistes share the screen, and may not be indicative of the relationship that they share when the cameras are turned off. “There is an x-factor that comes alive on camera. People think it may be there at all times, but that’s not the case. Two people, who might have great chemistry on screen, may not look interesting once the camera is not on them. So, the camera has its own kind of universe, and, within it, sparks fly,” says the actor who returns to the genre with Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, which pairs him alongside Kriti Sanon for the first time.  Kapoor, who has headlined several popular romantic films like Ishq Vishk (2003), Jab We Met (2007), and Kismat Konnection (2008), believes that on-screen chemistry can only elevate a film that’s already strong on paper. “The writing is fundamental, because, regardless of …
