Pakistan's natural disaster: Thinking ahead
By Raza Rumi
A natural disaster cycle is afflicting Pakistan, the flooding of Sindh is only one such incident. With thousands homeless and suffering, the under funded 'National Disaster Management Authority' and unprepared provincial governments are unable to cope, due to political and societal fissures in the system, that is already heavily burdened by defence spending.

By Raza Rumi
Pakistanis love Bollywood. There is no question about that. In the love-hate perceptions, Indian cinema has for decades fed public imagination. Prior to the 1965 war, Indian films were released in Pakistan regularly.
