How Did Pakistan Become Geopolitically Irrelevant?

  Advertisement Pakistan has drifted into geopolitical oblivion. This, despite its important geostrategic location, large population — the fifth greatest in the world — a powerful military, nuclear weapons and semi-industrial economy. It lurches from crisis to crisis and is close to becoming a non-player on the world stage. There are four primary reasons for its declining geopolitical relevance: shifting geopolitical currents, internal instability in Pakistan, India’s rise, and China’s indifference. Shifting Geopolitical Currents Much of Pakistan’s utility a decade ago derived from its location between India, China, Iran, and Afghanistan. While the United States was engaged in Afghanistan, Pakistan was a vital partner as it provided it with access to landlocked Afghanistan. With the U.S. withdrawal, Pakistan’s role in serving as a conduit for the U.S. in Afghanistan has ended. Afghanistan is now primarily Pakistan’s problem.

Imran Khan, newly elected Prime Minister - the possibility of a "new" Pakistan?

Image
Pakistan's popular history has been turbulent to say the least. The first popular attempt in the wake of Pakistani independence – which passed in 1947 – came at a time of fear of Indian military conduct within Pakistan, and during the global bipolarization of the Cold War.

In response to this, as well as due to fear of fractures in civil society manipulated by foreign agents, Pakistan chose a centralized political approach. These events, combined with successive ages of military rule and Islamic influence, paved the way for the inequality of Pakistan's current political and social geography, not to mention the essential popular and institutional fragility present moment. Although these consolidated differences clearly disadvantage nearly all Pakistani citizens, t...

An epidemic outbreak after a month-old drain... visit a flooded site in pakistan

Image
 A short drive from the city of Sukkur in Sindh Province, Pakistan, a huge body of water starts to flow on both sides of the road. The water that looks so deep that you might think you are passing through the middle of the lake stretches endlessly. Occasionally, only telephone poles and trees are visible, but other traces are hard to find. Tents are lined up on the road where cars run. Cloths of different colors and sizes barely covered the sunlight. Everyone sits helplessly and stares at the water. As we approached for coverage, everyone told us about the difficult situation after the flood. "There's a house right there in the water. There's no support whatsoever. What can we do?"  A city turned into a lake... A village in Shadakoth, Kambar, Sindh, suffered the most from flooding as the water did not drain for a month . As reporters leave, children flock to them. “I want to be a teacher,” as one girl shyly replies when asked about her dream, other kids answer here an...
