Britishers used the term India for all areas of The Subcontinent.The Subcntnnt is called India in English & Bar e saghir in Urdu.Smlrly it is called by many dffrnt names in dffrnt lnggs around the wrld.The word gvn to all the areas of subcntnnt can't b used for 1 specific area.
If you wanted attention, DW, all you had to do was ask!
In this pathetic documentary, the conclusion came first. Pakistan was then edited to fit it. The method is embarrassingly transparent:
1. Show a radical cleric.
2. Cut to a nuclear facility.
3. Add ominous music.
4. Mention instability.
5. Let insinuation replace evidence.
Pakistan is described as having “illegally developed” nuclear weapons. Illegally under which law? Pakistan was never a party to the NPT and therefore did not violate an NPT obligation by acquiring nuclear weapons. DW may disapprove of the program, but moral disapproval is not a legal argument, Folks.
Notice the asymmetry in language! India developed nuclear weapons. Pakistan “deceived the world.” India’s programme is treated as a strategic fact. Pakistan’s is narrated as criminal cunning. Mashallah!
The documentary briefly mentions 1971, India’s conventional advantage and Pakistan’s loss of faith in external guarantees but refuses to let any of that seriously explain Pakistan’s nuclear choices. Context is included only so it can be ignored.
Then comes the old “Islamists might seize the bomb” trope. No evidence of penetration of nuclear command structures is presented. No demonstrated breach is identified. No serious institutional assessment is offered.
Just militants somewhere in Pakistan and therefore loose nukes.
Even DW’s own interviewees acknowledge centralized command and control, multiple security layers and specialized forces protecting nuclear assets. But every reassuring fact is treated as an inconvenient interruption before the awful soundtrack returns to impending catastrophe.
DW uses AQ Khan's case as a permanent substitute for analysing Pakistan’s present nuclear-security architecture. History becomes guilt without expiry, who knew!
But that's not all! of course, there comes Kashmir, which is handled with similar intellectual laziness. Instead of seriously examining disputed sovereignty, war, repression, failed diplomacy and competing legal claims, Pakistan’s position is reduced to a psychological obsession arising from its Muslim identity.
A retired brigadier making expansive comments about nuclear use is presented as a window into Pakistan’s doctrine.
He is not the National Command Authority.
He is not the Strategic Plans Division.
He is not an official doctrinal document.
But guess what! nuance would spoil the drama.
The documentary also bundles together military businesses, hospitals, gated housing, blasphemy laws, Imran Khan, Afghan refugees, illegal weapons markets and attacks on Christians.
These are serious issues. BUT they are not evidence that Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal is insecure.
Here's the central fraud: collapsing four separate questions into one.
-Pakistan’s democratic governance.
-Its civil-military imbalance.
-Its internal security challenges.
-Its nuclear command and control.
DW treats them as interchangeable because differentiation would require actual analysis.
The final product is the standard Western Pakistan story:
-Too poor to govern itself.
-Too religious to be trusted.
-Too militarized to be democratic.
-Too unstable to possess nuclear weapons.
Pakistan has serious problems. None of them should be denied or romanticized. But a credible documentary would distinguish between nuclear safety, nuclear security, political stability and democratic governance. It would examine institutions, procedures, doctrine and evidence. It would compare Pakistan with other nuclear powers. It would ask whether the risks it highlights are demonstrated, plausible or merely imagined.
Strip away the ominous soundtrack and all that remains is a tired collection of stereotypes. The only real danger in this documentary is losing sixty minutes you will never get back.
Someone should be in jail for this...
"The audit pointed to a defective design by the consultant that compromised project safety standards in the 9th Avenue/ Jinnah Avenue interchange project. The Road Directorate North had awarded a consultancy contract to M/s NESPAK for the project. The audit observed that the underpass loop design features a critically sharp turn of approximately 45 degrees, with a solid concrete wall constructed directly in front of it. The design was for 30 km/ hour, in violation of the design speed of 60 km/ hour stated in the feasibility report. This feature violated basic transportation engineering principles, creates a significant safety hazard for vehicular movement, and reflects gross negligence and professional misconduct on the part of the design consultant."

‼️ Why is the Indian state so scared of its own right-wing videos? The people who were openly threatening to kill Indian students. Now our accounts and posts about India have been restricted.

Jugnu Mohsin and Salman Rashid discuss the remarkable social values of the Indus valley civilization and Takshashila where honesty and trust shaped daily life.
A glimpse into a past where societies functioned on values we often overlook today.

Meanwhile, he made head coverings mandatory for civilian news anchors, while discouraging Sari for "being Hindu", even though it originated in Sindh.
May Allah protect our beautiful countryside from the greed of real estate developers.
While travelling to Lahore from Sargodha it makes me so sad when I see mostly empty housing societies in the place where endless fields of orange groves used to be.
@MaryTeeKaur You know that their govt. tried to make it seem like their protest was funded by Pakistan? I bet some enlightened people their believed that
Anyway, I got your point now. We should protest here for the most fudamental right; maa-boli, and not for anything else, inflation, fascism
On 25 July 2026, a cowardly terrorist attack was attempted on Security Forces Check Post in South Waziristan District by khwarij belonging to Indian-sponsored, Fitna Al Khwarij. Same was successfully foiled killing all four khwarij including a suicide bomber and destroying an explosive laden vehicle.
The khwarij sought to breach the check post security; however, their nefarious designs were checked and decisively foiled by the vigilant and resolute response of security forces. The attackers explosive-laden vehicle was successfully engaged and destroyed outside the perimeters of post killing one suicide bomber in it, which failed to cause any damage.
Displaying unwavering courage and professional excellence, Security personnel engaged the remaining intruders, forcing three khwarij in a nearby compound, who were later neutralized in a deliberate clearance operation with precision; without any casualty on forces side.
Sanitization operation is being conducted to eliminate any other Indian sponsored kharji found in the area, as relentless Counter Terrorism campaign under vision “Azm e Istehkam” (as approved by Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan) by Security Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies of Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign sponsored and supported terrorism from the country.
This reminds me of one of my favorite history rabbit holes.
The Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II's grandson, Mirza Jahan Khusro (the brother of the last Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar), fled Delhi during the ensuing chaos of 1857. When all doors from Bengal to Khyber were closed on him, it was an anti-British Awan family in District Chakwal that offered him and his son refuge. Under the assumed guise of a trader from Meerut, their royal lineage was suppressed. His descendants continue to live in Chakwal as subsistence farmers.
After the informal colonial ban on the recruitment of anti-British figures' children in the Army was lifted in independent Pakistan in 1951, two of Mirza Jahan Khusro's great-grandsons enlisted in the Pakistan Army as sepoys. Both - the grand-nephews of Bahadur Shah Zafar and direct descendants of thr Mughals from Babur to Shah Alam II - retired as decorated Junior Commissioned Officers (JCOs).
🇵🇰MARTYRS OF THE NATION🫡
Wearing the uniform & standing on the frontlines every day is not a job for the faint of heart it takes a true warrior.
Major Adnan’s martyrdom will be etched in history.
After eliminating terrorists during an operation against TTP, he threw his own body onto his fallen brother in arms, taking the bullets to save his fellow soldier's life.
He gave his today so the children of Pakistan could live. This unbreakable bond of sacrifice is why no power on earth can defeat our defenders. Salute to a hero.
