Déjà Vu Alert: Is History Repeating Itself After the ‘Fall of Dhaka’?

Balochistan grapples with a prolonged history of enforced disappearances. Another extrajudicial killing sparks public outrage, prompting vocal protests in Islamabad. Baloch locals and global human rights organizations unite in support of the Baloch women’s demonstration. In recent months, a discernible change in state policies towards Balochistan, particularly targeting Baloch youth, notably students, has emerged. On November 23, forces transported four deceased Baloch youth to Turbat civil hospital, asserting they were ‘Baloch militants’ killed in a Pasni road encounter. Subsequently, one of the four was identified as Balach Mola Bakhsh, forcibly disappeared from his Absor, Turbat home on October 29. The

Cracks in the Digital Armor: Exploring the Hidden Loopholes in Artificial Intelligence

“Winston Churchill said, we shape our buildings and then they shape us, we make our technologies, and they, in turn, shape us.”- Sherry Turkle AI and Lack of Human Creativity While artificial intelligence (AI) has made remarkable strides in various fields, it still grapples with the elusive quality of creativity that humans inherently possess. Human creativity is deeply rooted in complex cognitive processes, emotions, and a nuanced understanding of context, which current AI systems struggle to emulate authentically. AI excels at pattern recognition, data analysis, and repetitive tasks, but it often falls short in generating truly original and imaginative ideas.

From Stigma to Acceptance: Normalcy of Psychiatric Check-Ins

Whenever a taboo is broken, something good happens, something vitalizing- Henry Miller The historical persistence of the stigma associated with mental health is attributed to societal, cultural, and religious views. People with mental diseases were stereotyped as weak or morally lacking, and mental illnesses were frequently misunderstood. People were discouraged from talking freely about their mental health issues and from getting professional treatment because of this attitude. Psychiatric check-ins were therefore suspicious, which served to confirm the notion that only the “mentally ill” needed these treatments.Notably, Pakistan has one of the lowest global mental health indexes while having a population

Ink Against Bullets: The Taliban’s Tug of War with Enlightenment

In the tumultuous landscapes of regions affected by the Taliban, a war beyond the physical battlefield unfolds—a war against education, enlightenment, and the pursuit of knowledge. In the new Afghanistan under the Taliban, education has virtually been completely disregarded. The radical authorities argue the country only needs madrassas to teach its Islamic curriculum and have deemed contemporary education obsolete and prohibit girls from attending schools. Students’ access to education has also been hampered by Taliban regulations due of personnel shortages brought on by prohibitions on women teaching. The Taliban, for instance, mandate that schools be divided based on gender and

UNVEILING CHILDREN’S TRAGEDY AMIDST INHUMANE GENOCIDE IN GAZA

Desmond Mpilo Tutu, a South African Anglican bishop and theologian, known for his work as an anti-apartheid says, ‘’ There is no greater crime than the deliberate killing of children in the name of ideology or power.’’ Children’s genocide and their mass killings are two of the most barbarous and diabolical acts on this planet. Looking at this ever-evolving global landscape, it is difficult to imagine that humans- the masters of all the creations-are still entrenched in the devilish cobweb of committing this despicable and monstrous act of child massacre. While keeping an eye on international scenarios, it is pertinent
