China Attracting Foreign Medical Students

If Russia was the destination of choice in the 1980s and 1990s for Indian students who could not make it into medical colleges in India, China has now emerged as the hot favourite. Last year, for instance, nearly 3,000 Indian students took admission in medical colleges in China.





Still in its relatively early years, the trend has already hit a minor roadblock. After complaints from several students who went in the earlier batches about… Continue

Pakistani Kid at Cambridge with 22 A's

By Paul Harris and Laura Clark

Last updated at 9:27 AM on 31st January 2009

Daily Mail



One ambition was fixed in Ali Moeen Nawazish's mind as he made his way through school in Pakistan. He wanted to win a place at Cambridge.



Sitting seven A-levels might easily have done the trick, even though he had started to study some of the subjects only three days before the exam.



But he was determined to get some good grades. So he sat another three, and three… Continue

Developing Pakistan's Intellectual Capital

In the "New Economy", the most important single asset for any nation is the intellectual capital it develops by educating its people well. Investment in education could not be better described than by the words used by the Chinese genius Kuan Chung centuries ago: "If you plan for a year, plant a seed; if for 10 years, plant a tree; if for a 100 years, teach the people. When you sow a seed once, you reap a single harvest; when you teach the people, you will reap a 100 harvests."

Say No to Yoga

Months back, there were reports in the papers on the "yoga controversy" in Malaysia. Muslims, it argued, were in danger of being corrupted by elements of Hinduism: the chantings of "Om".

In 7th century Arabia, Muslims were asked to get rid of curtains… Continue

    WIR 2026: Income and Wealth Inequality in India, Pakistan and the World

    The top 1% of Indians own 40.1% of the nation's wealth, higher than the 37% global average. This makes India one of the world's most unequal countries, according to the World Inequality Report.

Tiny groups of wealthy elites (top 1%) are using their money to buy mass media to manipulate public opinion for their own benefit. They are paying politicians for highly favorable laws and policies to further…
