سہگل حویلی
یعنی مشہور زمانہ لال حویلی
جہلم کے ہندو شہزادے اور مسلمان رقاصہ بدھن بائی کی محبت کی 100 سالہ پرانی وہ ادھوری داستان جس کی گواہی آج بھی اس کےمنقش درودیوار دیتےہیں۔
راولپنڈی (پاکستان) کے بوہڑ بازار میں واقع لال حویلی جہاں ایک زمانےمیں رقص وسرود اور

رقاصاءوں کی خوبصورتی کی تعریف کرنے والوں کا تانتا بندھا کرتا تھا، ڈانس پارٹیاں ھوا کرتی تھیں آج سیاسی گہما گہمی ھے۔
قیام پاکستان سے پہلے جہلم کے ایک خوشحال گھرانے سےتعلق رکھنے والے ممتاز بیرسٹر دھن راج سہگل شادی کی ایک تقریب میں شرکت کیلئےسیالکوٹ گئے جہاں انہوں نے مشہور زمانہ اور

حسین رقاصہ بدھن بائی سے شادی کر لی۔
ہندو ھو اسے مہاتما بدھ کی گھنٹیاں نہ بھائیں کیسے ممکن ھے!
بدھن بائی کے گھنگھروءوں نے راج کا دل موہ لیا۔
اسی محبت کی کہانی نےلال حویلی کی بنیادڈالی۔ دھن راج بدھن کو اپنےساتھ راولپنڈی لے آیا اور بوہڑبازار میں ایک شاندار حویلی تعمیر کروائی جو سہگل

1. #Afghanistan: The war in #Panjshir and the propaganda war continue. First, the #Taliban are not running the show in Kabul. Pakistani ISI is in charge and seeking to reap the benefits of their massive victory over the US @CIA and @DefenseIntel @NSAGov and @ODNIgov who have all

2. fallen for what was essentially a virtual war. Massive propaganda pushed though seemingly valid #OSINT accounts that caused a massive rout. I knew the rout was coming, but didn't spot the Pak control of the assault until late in the game. Now that the Paks are facing

3. a committed, capable force in Panjshir the reality of the ground war is starting to impair the move to annex Afghanistan that is the de facto result of the Pak invasion. The reports of the Kabul airport being open are not credible. The photos are taken to obscure the location

#Kuwait's young foreign minister @anmas71 is back in #Pakistan for the first time in 16 yrs (I met him back then). This interesting relationship spans military+strategic issues (#Afghanistan #Iran #Iraq #oil), & a forgotten attempt to save a Pakistani premier from execution. /1

#Kuwait helped #Pakistan withstand international sanctions after the 1998 nuclear tests (with KSA+UAE); was one of top 5 aid givers (with #SaudiArabia #UAE #US #EU) after #Kashmir earthquake 2005. And remains a key oil supplier (along with #KSA). /2

Former #Kuwait Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed (who passed a way in 2020) enjoyed a close relationship with former #Pakistan Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and landed in #Rawalpindi in May 1977 to show support to embattled #Bhutto just before a military coup toppled him. /3

A thread on #IbnArabi in #SouthAsia people consider the main conduit to be the #Chishti Sufis and their ethical principle of #sulh_e_kull which is assumed to be an expression of #wahdatalwujud 1/

first link is the famous poet Fakhr al-Din Iraqi (d. 1289 in Damascus), a disciple and son in law of #BahauddinZakariyya in #Multan later moved to study with Qunawi and was present at Rumi’s funeral in Konya - later commentators on the #Lamaat linked his verses with #IbnArabi 2/

Persian verse was a major conduit for the dissemination of the metaphysics and hermeneutics of #IbnArabi and for the later tradition two key works were prominent 3/

We’re quite tired of hearing #PTM being called an “organic human rights movement,” because there is neither anything organic or human rights related to this movement.

https://twitter.com/NidaKirmani/status/1137376838433542144

.@PashtunTM_Offi is a manufactured movement to achieve specific objectives.

1) Remove the military from #FATA so the #TTP & other #terror groups can return to hold the area hostage again.

2) To create a false impression that #Pashtuns are being victimized by the #PakArmy.

The only people being harassed are those who are not #Pakistani and living illegally within our borders.

A detailed thread on Pakistan's debt and Foreign exchange reserves. #NayaPakistan is on the way becoming #NayaPaisaPakistan

In August 2018, foreign exchange reserves with the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) stood at $10bn. Pak borrowed $3bn from SaudiArabia and $2bn from UAE. As of March 8, 2019, foreign exchange reserves with the SBP stood at $8bn. Still they are in talks with IMF to get $12bn more.

By Jan2019, the accumulated stock of circular debt had soared to Rs1.4 trillion. For the record, the PTI govt added Rs260billion in 137 days. The PTI govt is adding Rs2bn a day every day of the year (a few years ago, the same figure was Rs1bn a day). ((Rs is PKR currency))

The first Airstrike by US against "terrorists" in Afghanistan after 9/11 began on 7 Oct 2001. Nearly 2 decades later, US is now talking to "Taliban" for a "deal". This is how effective airstrikes are against "terrorists". 1/n

WRT India's airstrike on "terrorist camps" in Pakistan, how degrading would that be to the terror networks in reality? Very little. You can't destroy much that cannot be replaced quickly. Would that work as a deterrent? No. 2/n

India's airstrike against terrorist camps in Pakistan is more for optics and electoral posturing by Modi-Doval & company. Like the last "surgical Strike" could not prevent more terror attacks on India, neither would this. 3/n
