Biriyani
*Biriyani* can often look like a dish of Pulao, but from the start the two are actually quite different. Pulao has all of its ingredients fried together in oil (mixing all the flavors in each bite), whereas each spoonful of steamed biriyani can be unique (ingredients are separate).
Pre-steamed rice is layered into a massive cooking vessel, each time sifted over with dry spice combinations of cumin, nutmeg, cardamom, and of course turmeric. It is then sprinkled with a final layer of toppings, usually carrots or peanuts, before being served with a few strips of meat.
With each layer added individually, there is no stirring or mixing of ingredients until the rice is on your plate. You’re basically served a cross-section of the entire cooking pot, and you can see and enjoy each flavor of the dish.
As this dish can be a bit dry, it is usually accompanied by a side dish of *raita* (light yoghurt). A plate of biriyani is just perfect for a mid-day snack walking around the streets of a bustling city in Pakistan.
When you’re in Karachi, you don’t want to miss the bone marrow biryani, probably the best biryani I’ve ever had, and one of the ultimate travel meal experiences of the year. https://youtu.be/bg2II5DIJ0E https://migrationology.com/best-food-travel-2018/
Beach Volleyball Championships in Roi
KARACHI: Pakistan on Monday produced mixed results on the final day of the 2019 Asian Under-21 Beach Volleyball Championships in Roi-Et, Thailand, finishing at the ninth place at the continental event which was also a qualifying round for the World Championships.
Although Pakistan did not qualify for the World Beach Championships from here but they qualified for the final qualifying tournament which will be hosted by Thailand on June 18, one day before the start of the World Beach Championships.
As many as 24 teams will feature in that qualifying round whose matches will be completed in one day. Top four teams from that leg will complete the frame for the World Championships.
Pakistan coach Hamid Movahedi confirmed this to this correspondent from Thailand on Monday. “Yes, we have qualified for the final qualifying round to be held in Bangkok on June 18,” Movahedi told ‘The News’ from Roi-Et.
On Monday, Pakistani pair Afaq and Zarnab did a glorious job by beating strong Vietnam 2-0. However, they lost to Iran’s second string 1-2 in their last show, which ended Pakistan’s journey in the event.
On Sunday, Pakistan defeated strong Chinese Taipei 2-0. Zarnab and Afaq lost to China in their opener 0-2. However, they created a big upset when they defeated Iran 2-0 in their second outing. Pakistan then lost to Australia 0-2.
“I am satisfied with the way both Afaq and Zarnab performed here,” Movahedi said. “You know the teams here were of high standard. Most of them have strong beach volleyball set-ups but we held only a brief camp and the food was also not that good. I felt that our players lacked in stamina.
If you play three successive games without ample rest then you need top fitness and it comes only through standard nutrition,” said Istanbul-based Movahedi.
Pakistan’s second string, carrying Usman and Ahmed, had exited when they lost their initial three matches. Usman and Ahmed lost to Singapore 2-0, conceded their second game to Indonesia 0-2 before going 1-2 down against Oman.
Pakistan Volleyball Federation’s (PVF) chairman Chaudhry Mohammad Yaqoob said that beach volleyball would now be part and parcel of the volleyball culture.
“This type of volleyball will now be well-entrenched in our volleyball culture and will progress,” Yaqoob told ‘The News’.
“Beach volleyball needs good stamina and so longer camps. We need to popularise this game now. We have made entry into this kind of volleyball in international circuit in the most convincing way. Afaq and Zarnab have done very well in Thailand event,” Yaqoob said.
A team carries only two players in beach volleyball.
Karahi
Karahi
Karahi is one of the best of all Pakistani food, and is dear to the hearts of all Pakistanis. You can find *Karahi*s cooking in the smallest roadside shop, or in the Palatial kitchen of a local Rajah.
The dish takes its name from the black, iron, scoop-shape pan. Usually a karahi curry is made with goat, but also commonly with chicken or even shrimp. The metal dish can then be its own serving bowl, sizzling hot coming straight to the center of your table.

Most Pakistani karahi recipes start with tomatoes, onions, and some type of animal fat. It’s that tomato broth that gives each *Karahi* its ultra-umami magic, so full of smokiness, tender chunks of meat, and a whole lot of fat – from the meat, the ghee, and the occasional dollop of cream. https://www.umamiinfo.com/richfood/foodstuff/tomato.php
The tools of choice for cooking this dish are a massive pair of pliers to grip the pan, and a metal spatula to move meat around. Every pan is cooked over flaming high heat, and the chef’s motion follows a steady working rhythm – add oil, meat, count to three, stir. More oil, grip the pan to rapidly add spices, move the entire dish to a serving tray, then breathe (chef wipes a dripping brow).
This is an iconic dish of Pakistan, and can be found throughout the country.
Katakat
Many of the signature dishes of Pakistan will draw you in with their big tastes and smells.
*Katakat* is special though – its a dish that first plays on your ears!
The dish gets its very name from the sound the chef makes while mixing all the different ingredients on a huge iron hot plate. The sharp ‘clangs’ and ‘pings’ against the wide metal pan cause the rapid-fire “kata-kata-kat…” sound, reverberating sound as far as the chef can send it.
The standard version of katakat is made with goat kidneys, hearts, and testicles. However, one of the most delicious Pakistani foods in this guide that I tried was a unique version of katakat made with fish in Karachi. https://migrationology.com/karachi-fish-katakat/
Pro Tip: Dump a liberal spoonful of dark green chutney, covering your choice piece of meat. Take some freshly cut red onions and a whole spicy chili for good measure, and grab the entire bite in the largest handful of roti bread you can manage.
Chapshurro
Moving on now to more unique, local cuisines, from Pakistan’s northern people groups (Gilgit Baltistan), the first thing you absolutely have to try is *Chapshurro*.
‘*Chap*,’ just means meat, and these wonderful hotplate cakes often contain yak meat. These cook on a large convex steel/iron plate, and are the perfect snack for a traveler when the weather starts to cool.
Seasoning them simply with onions and pepper, a sweet carrot, or maybe a small locally grown tomato, these will be the only vegetable ingredients. Using local species of wheat, the specific dough recipe, feeling, and consistency can vary widely from town to town.
This was one dish always highly recommended by locals throughout the Gilgit Baltistan region. I thought it was a perfect example of the diversity there is to discover among the food from all the various parts of Pakistan.
One of the more famous places to find this dish is right along the highway, driving from Gilgit to the Hunza Valley, just past the breath-takingly pretty Ataabad Lake. You can see some great footage here from this incredible day of our trip. https://migrationology.com/things-to-do-in-hunza-valley/
Bun Kebab
Its been told to me by Pakistani local friends more than a once, “few things are more purely Karachi than an afternoon of Bun Kebabs.”
Imagine the best hamburger slider you’ve ever had, and serve it with a side of mint chutney. Add a bonus topping of fried egg, and pile each layer on top of each other while cooking, without letting any of it leave the frying pan.
Small but dense patties are dunked in a lentil, yogurt, and egg batter, then quickly pressed by hand onto the large frying pan. The buns themselves are always white bread, and cook to a light crispiness sitting directly beside both the patties and the eggs.
Rounds of Bun Kebabs come out as fast as the prep-chef can collect them, and they aways come with a side of red onions. That forebodingly dark but beautifully pungent mint chutney is a mandatory addition to your meal, and you’re going to want to make sure you get an entire plate of it to go with your Bun Kebabs.
This dish is a mainstay of Pakistani street food all over Karachi (Pakistan’s largest city), but the fabulous Hanif Super Biryani & Bun Kabab takes this hand-held bun treat to All-Star status. You won’t be surprised to see people queueing up to order stacks of plates, even three at a time. https://goo.gl/maps/JBTcX2M94Gt
Brain Masala
The spiced-to-perfection plate of Brain Masala contains amounts of flavors that will live on in my dreams.
One of the best street food items I had during my trip to Peshawar, I almost wanted to start an import-export business venture on the spot. https://migrationology.com/brains-masala-peshawar/
Made on a hot iron skillet, tomato sauce and masala spices are what add the majority of flavor. Green onions, cilantro, and red chili powder go into the dish, and finally the brains are scrambled (you don’t want to burn the brains).
Definitely an off-the-beaten-path item in Pakistan (this one in Peshawar, an amazing place), but well-worth the effort to find if you’re there.
Sajji
*Sajji* can include many types of meat, but usually it’s made with chicken. The artful tactics used in display do a great job in advertising for the grill-master. If you’re like me, you may find yourself being drawn over in a trance, floating from across the street.
Just walking into any shop that serves sajji should already be getting you excited. Your meat dish displayed proudly like a trophy, speared through and held aloft, dripping juices falling and sizzling on a huge bed of hot coals.
Very little seasoning is used as its all about two things – the charcoal heat, and quality of the meat. As with most Pakistani food restaurants, sajji is served with a stack of piping hot roti bread, straight from the tandoor oven.
We had this wonderful dish a few times, my favorite was in Lahore eating sajji with *biriyani* sitting street-side, enjoying the food with owner of Khalifa Balochi Sajji himself. https://goo.gl/maps/EpPnYtZoDD12
Paya
The recipe is basic, but quite complex to prepare. The incredible flavor in it comes from the fact that it slow cooks for hours – usually since the night *before* the restaurant serves it.
The basic ingredients include onions, red oil with curry spices, and absolutely giant bowl-fulls of bone-in goat legs and feet. Stewing for hours causes the tendons and cartilage surrounding the joint to become juicy and easily chewable, and the red curry broth elevates the entire flavor to incredible levels.
This meal is always eaten with a pile of fresh, hot roti bread. It’s an oily, meaty, deliciously slimy experience, something in Pakistan you just won’t want to miss.
(FYI: There is hot debate as to which of Pakistan’s larger cities owns the best version of paya, and I have to say I can’t help them here – both the Lahore version and the one I had in Peshawar – both were stunningly good.) https://www.dawn.com/news/1439847
Dowdo
Another one of the best Pakistani foods from Gilgit Baltistan is called *dowdo*, which is a great dish for warming oneself after an outing in the cool mountain air. A thick creamy soup full of wheat noodles and mustard greens, the noodles can be anywhere from spaghetti-thin to entire-pastry-size width. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mn8MZF4JWI
Sometimes including shreds of carrot or thin slices of potato, coming in from the cold to find a table full of steamy bowls of *Dowdo* is just a wonderful comfort food.
This is a traditional dish of the Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) Province, a semi-autonomous region North of Islamabad, the capital city of Pakistan (and only since 1974 has this area even been a part of Pakistan). Bordering the high plateaus of the Pamir Mountains, this is an area full of craggy glaciers, unique cultures, and of course food ideal for both warming and energizing the hardy people who call it home.
(Note: Be on the lookout for a very special version of *Dowdo* including *Maltash*, the crazily sour home-made hard cheese (which has been linked to the extreme longevity of Hunza Valley peoples). In a small town near Sost, after a chilly visit to the Khunjerab National Park, I now think of this as one of the best ever cold-weather meals!) https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2018/01/pakistan-remote-butter-cheese-treasure/
tikka kabab
Few dishes could possibly have the people of Central Asia welcoming you to eat and enjoy more than Pakistani tikkas. Tikka is a special type of ‘kebab,’ the main thing being that tikka uses larger chunks of marinated meat (kebab meat is usually minced and then seasoned, and formed onto the skewer by hand)
Since back when it was a daily meal of nomadic herders, or one using an ancient Kings’ fatty lambs, all the way to the present day mega-city road-side BBQs – this truly is an Ultimate food of all Humankind.
A fore-most food on the mind of anyone traveling in (or native to) this entire part of the world, the time-less and ever-simple practice eating skewers of chunks of meat cooking over open flame has never, and will never cease to satisfy.
I have been lucky enough to enjoy meat like this in many countries, and Pakistan instantly joins the ranks of the Greats. https://migrationology.com/samarkand-uzbekistan-travel-guide/
Middle-Eastern style kebab in Dubai, in Israel, in Turkey, modern variations served as far East as my own home in Thailand, and then of course most recently in the wonderful city of Samarkand, Uzbekistan; these are all wonderful food memories.
Saag
Another dish commonly found throughout the Punjab Province of Pakistan is *Saag*. The dishes name simply means ‘mustard greens,’ and there can be any number of other ingredients cooked along with it.
The mustard greens are slow-cooked until its leaves are so soft they’re literally breaking apart, it almost resembles a stew its so gooey. Seasoning includes mint, coriander, and chili flakes, and usually includes generous amounts of glorious *desi ghee*.
(You may know the more internationally-famous version, *saag paneer*, made with soft cheese. In Pakistan though, you can come across many with more brave additions. In the Northern town of Skardu, enjoy an incredible version made with huge chunks of mutton meat, and the *saag* dish from the Peshawari Grandfather in the photo above was even sour (maybe made with mustard greens?), very health-ful feeling and using minimal seasonings, and he serves it cold! Refreshing.) https://migrationology.com/baltistan-food/
Haleem
*Haleem* is an incredibly hearty dish made with a combination of barley, local wheat varieties, and *chana* (chickpeas). This dish shows the influence on Pakistan that comes from the Middle East, and people have been enjoying *Haleem* here for centuries.
Slow-cooking, for up to an entire day, on very low heat is a technique used to give *haleem* its warm, home-cooked flavor.

Onions (fried separately), mint leaves, both green and dry chilies, and then some masala spices go into the mother-pot, and a final garnish comes from generous squeezes of lemon juice at the end.
This is a great food to have in the morning, or for an early lunch. Its very rich, full of calories to keep one’s energy up throughout the day. The flavor in a good bowl of *haleem* can be so rich that simply eating it with roti, and then sipping on a few cups of milk or green tea, can leave you perfect and content.
Enjoy a wonderful meal of Haleem in the Old City area of Lahore, you can watch the video here. I was blown away and surprised how good it was! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xb0gIhaWbM&t=20s
nihare ,pakistan
To start this list off right, I just have to talk about *Nihari*.
This dish is truly a game-changer for me when it comes to Pakistani cuisine. I would easily consider this among the best breakfasts I have ever had anywhere in the world.
*Nihari* begins as a heap of dry spices frying in vegetable oil and animal fat. The meat ingredients follow (most commonly beef shank), and a very healthy portion of *Desi Ghee* (home-made local clarified butter). The slow-cooking stew is then stirred altogether in a glorious cauldron of a pot. https://www.dawn.com/news/1084907
The consistency is oozing and thick, so full of ultra-tender meat chunks literally floating in desi ghee. It has a deep red color from the spice and infused ghee.
Eaten from communal plate-trays, you garnish the *Nihari* from a side-plate of fragrant sliced ginger, spicy green chilies, and a squeeze from a fresh lime or two.
In Lahore you can try nihari at Waris Nihari, and in Karachi, I would highly recommend Javed Nihari. https://migrationology.com/nihari-lahore/
Halwa poori
Halwa poori is a traditional Pakistani and Indian breakfast that features semolina pudding or halwa and a soft fried dough called poori. Halwa is typically made with a mixture of fried semolina and sugar syrup, which is then combined with nuts such as pistachios and almonds.
The sweet dish is flavored with aromatics like green cardamom pods, kewra essence, and cloves, and it is usually enhanced with yellow or orange food coloring for a more vibrant dish. Poori is a soft and fluffy fried bread consisting of a dough made with flour, water, salt, and oil.
It is shaped into a thin, flat disk, and then usually deep-fried until it puffs up. Fresh and hot poori is traditionally accompanied by sweet semolina halwa or sooji halwa. Other typical accompaniments to halwa poori include *aaloo ki bhaji*, which is a flavor-packed potato dish, and *cholay*
TikTok ban
Pakistan’s telecoms regulator has issued TikTok with a “final warning,” threatening to ban it over complaints about “immoral, obscene and vulgar content.”
The regulator has already blocked live streaming app Bigo on the same grounds.
Earlier this month, TikTok and Bigo were both blocked in India as part of a ban on 59 Chinese apps.

TikTok will be banned in Pakistan unless it cracks down on “immoral, obscene, and vulgar content,” the country’s government has said.
The warning came after Pakistan blocked live streaming app Bigo. “On complaints of immoral, obscene and vulgar content, streaming app Bigo has been blocked in Pakistan. TikTok has also been served with final warning on same grounds,” Pakistan’s telecoms regulator,

ban on cryptocurrencies, Pakistan
Almost a year after a blanket ban on cryptocurrencies, Pakistan has come a long way in its attitude toward the space. A recent notice by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) declared that institutions willing to work in the sphere of “electronic money” can now get licenced by the SBP to “issue e-money for the purpose of digital payments.” http://www.sbp.org.pk/press/2019/Pr-01-Apr-19.pdf
As reported by a Pakistani news association, The Express Tribune, the government hosted a meeting at the Islamabad office of the State Bank of Pakistan on April 1 for the discussion and formation of crypto regulations, termed Electronic Money Institutions (EMI) regulation. https://cointelegraph.com/news/pakistans-central-bank-aims-to-issue-its-own-digital-currency-by-2025
The move toward compliance by the Pakistani government is far from what happened in 2015, when the country was tagged on the Financial Actions Task Force’s (FATF) grey list, which indicated that the country’s laws to counter terrorism financing and money laundering were ineffective. This month, the FATF again voiced concerns, spurring the Pakistan government to take a more serious look at the issues. http://www.fatf-gafi.org/publications/high-risk-and-other-monitored-jurisdictions/documents/fatf-compliance-february-2015.html https://cointelegraph.com/news/pakistan-plans-new-digital-currency-regulations-following-faftas-urging?utm_source=Telegram&utm_medium=social
Government regulation will help
Noting the government's decision to regulate the use of electronic money, Muhammad Ahsan, the founder of Go4 Blockchain, a blockchain consulting company, applauded the get-serious approach, with reservations. https://www.go4blockchain.pk/
“This step reflects the forward-thinking of Pakistani Government, and with a few more regulations and reforms, cryptos will get better space for development in Pakistan. But there is much more required to do beforehand.”
aps attack peshawar Public School Peshawar after Six month of terrorists attack
Terrorist attack in Army Public School Peshawar, Pakistan left behind more than hundred children dead. It was the highest death toll of children in the world in a single terrorists attack. The attack dominated national and international news, high level security measures have been adopted in all school throughout Pakistan, which created fear and stress in children. The objective of the study was to determine post-traumatic stress disorder among children after six month of terrorist attack inspite of rigorous psychosocial support and rehabilitation.
Methods:
We wanted to determine Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among children of Army Public School of age range 10 to 18 years after 5 months of intervention and rehabilitation following terrorists attack. For this a self-report questionnaire, Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS), which assess and identify symptoms matching DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) IV criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder of children, was filled. Informed consent was taken from school Principal and responders.
Results:
A total 205 students of age range 10 to 18 years participated in the study. The most frequent age group of the study were 16 years and 14 years students with frequency 58 (28.3%) and 46 (22.4%) respectively. Among 205 participated school children PTSD were found in 154 (75.2%) children while only 24.8% students had no PTSD symptoms.

INTRODUCTION
Terrorism and war are the acts of violence emerged with the perpetrated act of human. The impact of war and terrorism occur as the direct result of physical, media exposure and visual impact or through the various form of interpersonal experiences. Intergroup conflict are ancient in the history of world, it estimated that two million children have been killed due to war related injuries, one million orphaned, four million have been disabled and more than 12 million has been displaced from their homes.1 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6041521/#ref1
Number of natural and manmade disaster put very devastating psychological impact on the eye witnesses, who may be children. Think of a child who has witnessed the loss of his family members in a war or a natural disaster, and his flash back memories of such event could be very traumatic for that child and need urgent medical attention. Post traumatic stress disorder is a psychiatric disorder that a person may develop after witnessing or experiencing another person receiving actual or potential harm including serious bodily injury or sexual abuse.2 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6041521/#ref2
World is experiencing global spread of terrorism these days. Pakistan is the worse terrorism affected country of the world. Major cities of Pakistan were effected due to terrorism but Peshawar city witnessed very high death toll due to terrorism.3 Pakistanis are at highest risk group for developing traumatic stress reactions. Throughout its history, Pakistani citizen have faced many losses in term of lives and material in the form of terrorism in many types of violence, such as political, secessionist, sectarian, ethnic and recently religious fundamentalist. Terrorist attacks staged in Pakistan have killed over 35000 people caused material damage to the Pakistani economy totaling greater than $67 billion.4 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6041521/#ref3 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6041521/#ref4
In the streamline of terrorism in Pakistan Terrorists attack in Army public school Peshawar on 16 December 2014, left behind more than hundred children dead. It was the highest death toll of children in the world in a single terrorists attack. The attack dominated national and international news, high level security measures have been adopted in all school throughout Pakistan, which created fear and stress in children. Majority of children starts experiencing mental stress, depression, anxiety and shock. Such kind of incident left unforgettable and most horrifying impact in their minds which results in psychological disorder known as Post Traumatic Stress Disoder.5 Trauma impacts children differently at each developmental stage. In order to understand the constellation and severity of PTSD symptoms, it is important to acknowledge the age at which a person experiences a traumatic event.6 Children exposed to traumatic experiences at early ages are at risk for a variety of psychiatric problems.7 Children may be diagnosed with specific psychiatric illnesses (e.g. ADHD, ODD separation anxiety, etc.), but the true underlying issue may be PTSD. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6041521/#ref5 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6041521/#ref6 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6041521/#ref7
What happened in Army Public School (APS) Peshawar on December 16, 2014 is no less than a traumatic event witnessed in a war setting, say psychologists and psychiatrists. Schoolchildren across the country were experiencing fear as threats continue to emerge in different cities. Parents are reporting children who survived the APS massacre are displaying low-levels of interest in going back to school and in other activities.8 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6041521/#ref8
After the tragic and horrifying event of Army Public School number of government and non-government organizations approached and started their interventions through counseling, therapies, medical care’s and relaxation techniques. A similar research looked at the psychometric responses of 358 adolescents randomly selected from war effected Gaza Strip. It concluded that apart from 11.8% of the sample, the rest displayed symptoms or full onset of PTSD.9 Our objective was to determine post-traumatic stress disorder among children after six month of terrorist attack in spite of rigorous psychosocial support and rehabilitation. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6041521/#ref9

answer ...Why is hockey decreasing in Pakistan?
I cannot say for sure but if you look at the evolution of Hockey since the 1980’s when Pakistan and India were the powerhouses of the sport there have been many changes that these countries were (and are) slow to follow.
Call it arrogance, politics or whatever Pakistan Hockey .. and Cricket… have always been internally unstable. This flows down the “food chain”.
The political points seem to be an ever increasing instability within the organisation with power struggles going on constantly.
Arrogance comes in several forms like not being willing to adapt to the changes world wide in both training and tactics. Also too many former Olympians and National players have too much say in how the teams should be coached and managed..This may sound racist and probably is but I and several other coaches I know would not have former Pakistani or Indian representitive players in our teams because they were too unwilling to listen and be a part of our teams. There was also at times a lot of instability within teams for some reason. Sorry for that comment but this one comes from personal experience.
If you look at coaching and development, being a foreigner coaching sub Continental National teams and players is a poisoned chalice. The turnover of coaches is ridiculous. None really get the appropriate support and funding to be truely effective. Also behind the scenes there are always those who resent not being able to do it themselves.
Finally the style played relies too much on individual brilliance ( which has definitely always been a trait of sub Continental teams) where real teamwork from the coach and support staff down to the players is more evident elsewhere.
Finally not enough emphasis is placed on developing a sound progressive and innovative junior to senior development program. Whilst their National Under 21 teams perform well and Pakistan is still a force in Asian Hockey tournaments but struggle on the world stage, there is little evidence that younger players have really structured team oriented training.
I was at an Asian Hockey Tournament when Ric Charlesworth left the Indian National squad and went back to Australia. His treatment by the National body was diabolical and he was hamstrung from the very beginning. He did not say that because he is a good diplomat and fair minded but I got these details through observation and discussions with others.
My belief is that similar happens to the excellent quality coaches that have been through Pakistan over the last 30 years.
I am expecting a lot of down votes but look forward to the counter arguments to see how wrong I am as I am very willing to change my point of view because I miss the excitement of Pakistan (and India ) in full flight.

Terrorism in Pakistan: Causes and Remedies
As is known, for centuries, various acts of terrorism have been carried out in different parts of the world by different groups for a variety of purposes. Sometimes a communist organization, sometimes a fascist group, and sometimes radical and separatist factions assume responsibility for these acts. The nature of terrorism ts impact and power with the new means made possible by developing technology. Terrorism is the cruelest of crimes. The universal revulsion at the events of September 2001, the "War on Terror" has magnified many folds the global threat of terro Terrorism, War on Terror, Pakistan
Retrospective View
This early history of terrorism throws some light on the present crisis and the "war" against terrorism. The growing of "non-state" terror is an old phenomenon lately discovered. International terrorism became a prominent tool of political agenda in the late 1960s.1 It was applied by Palestinians for the attainment of their legitimate political rights. It was adopted as a "weapon of the poor". The largest act of international terrorism occurred on September 11, 2001 in a set of coordinated attacks on the United States. The United States has made the "War on Terrorism" the centerpiece of its global strategy since the attacks on Pentagon and World Trade It has proclaimed its leadership of a world-wide alliance to exterminate this scourge of terrorism. But the bombing of Afghanistan is not a revenge for New York and Washington. It is yet another act of terror against the people of the world.
Each innocent person that is killed must be added to the toll of civilians who died in New York and Washington. The United States is pursuing its War on Terror without addressing its root causes which are social, economic and political in nature and not military.
In the immediate aftermath of American invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, Al-Qaeda and Afghan Taliban sought refuge in Pakistani tribal belt due to the porous nature of the international border and started organizing their resistance to US forces in Afghanistan from safe sanctuaries. Socio-economic and politico-religious complexion of the tribal region also favored these militants. At the same time, many criminal groups also started operating in these areas, which remained at large after looting, robbing, kidnapping and even killing people. These structural flaws created space for Taliban who were offering parallel security and judicial systems to the people by establishing parallel "courts" in almost all parts of FATA and some areas of settled districts in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa. Tribal people in FATA remained deprived of their political rights.
The sense of political deprivation and lack of participation has also created the feeling among the tribal people that they do not have a stake in the state and has resulted in a weak state- society relationship. The militant threat to Pakistan has a well-defined ideological inspiration and logistic support from international terrorist groups to achieve their target which include:
