"Zero Point" by Javed Chaudhry used to be a must read column for me on Jang's web site. Couple of years ago, Jang stopped publishing his columns and i often wondered where he went. Recently, i discovered his columns on online edition of Daily Express. Apparently, he joined Daily Express and is regulary writing for them.

Chaudhry's columns are thought provoking and provide interesting insight on various social and semi-political issues. Check out one of his recent column: Zinda Lashoon Ka Qubaristan

I hope you will find his articles a good read.

Naveed ... do u think all in that article is logical chronologically ? e.g. something happening these days regarding 'ekhlaquiaat' is nothing new - its not for the first time in PK.

I m not in sync with PK politics (the only reason I look at urdu newspaper is for desi restaurants :)
and thats why I didnt got the basics - why would some leaders care (or do not care) about GPM's uniform?

Javed Chaudhry has written quite a few times on this topic in the past. I guess, recent events show that moral standards of our leaders are deteriorating to new levels.

In a traditional democratic government, Army is supposed to protect the country not rule it. Each pillar of society has its own role. In my opinion, our political leaders really don't care about the "uniform". Their main concern is to get a piece of the pie.

Another interesting article: Udaas Nusl.
Javed Chaudhry tends to exaggerate but gist of his columns is usually right on the target.

    Is the India Growth Story Over?

    In a television speech to the nation, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged his people to make sacrifices by spending less on fuel, fertilizer, and travel.

It appears that India's problems do not just stem from the effects of the US-Iran war; India's problems started well before that. Flight of foreign capital has put the Indian currency under tremendous…

    Pakistan's New Infrastructure Investments and Trade Routes

    Pakistan has recently launched 5G wireless service in multiple cities and closed financing on the 306 kilometer 6-lane Sukkur-Hyderabad M6 motorway. In addition, Pakistan is seeing significant increase in the utilization of its Gwadar and Karachi ports after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the US-Iran war. This will help open the trade routes from Pakistan to Central Asia via Iran, bypassing unstable Afghanistan. It has the potential to eventually make Pakistan a major…
