| Remembering Sarwanand Kaul Premi: A Poet, Patriot, and Martyr of Kashmir on His 36th Martyrdom Anniversary | | 
By Rohit Tikoo
Hazaron saal nargis apni be-noori pe roti hai, Badi mushkil se hota hai chaman mein didavar paida.
(For a thousand years, the narcissus weeps its own blindness; with great difficulty, a man of true vision is born into the garden.)
— Mirza Ghalib
Sarwanand Kaul Premi was one such rare visionary.
Thirty-six years ago, terrorism cruelly took him and his son, Virender Kaul, from us. Their lives were extinguished not just for being taken, but for their unwavering convictions, their refusal to abandon their homeland, and their choice of dignity over fear.

The talks termed as ‘Islamabad Talks’, lasted a full day of negotiations, which ended with a terse three-minute press conference — and without a deal. Talks between America and Iran began on Saturday afternoon and continued through the night, almost 21 hours in all. The sun had risen in Islamabad, the Pakistani capital, by the time JD Vance emerged to brief reporters.... |

By Fatima Baloch
Every military operation and war generally has certain strategic objectives. However, just like the 1965 war and the Kargil conflict, Pakistan’s military operations often lack clear strategic objectives during wartime. This frequently leads to failure, heavy military casualties, and embarrassment, and Pakistan continues this legacy both in external wars and in internal military operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) carried out an attack in the Bannu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on February 21, 2026, in which seni... |
