AI tells me:

The most accurate estimate of Pakistan’s population in 2025 is around 255–258 million people. Different authoritative sources (UN, World Bank, Worldometer, Georank) give slightly varying figures, so the realistic margin of error is about ±3 million.

I was wondering if Pakistan overstates its population so that it is the country with the largest Muslim population; and that would correspondingly make its per capita figures look bad; but it seems I'm wondering wrong.

The Malaysian Hockey Federation has not extended invitation to Pakistan for the annual Azlan Shah Cup in the wake of non-payment of dues to the tune of USD 10,349 to the Johar Hockey Association. A source in the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) said the Johar Association has sent a stern official letter to the PHF regrading the dues it needs to pay for the accommodation, travel and other expenses of PHF officials and their families who went to Malaysia with the team in October 2023.

In this video, we discuss and analyze the recent article from The Economist about Imran Khan, particularly focusing on the claims made regarding Bushra Bibi. The discussion compares this situation to a broader pattern in Pakistan’s political history, where many prominent figures whether leaders, politicians, or dictators have sought guidance or support from spiritual leaders, often referred to as peers.
The video highlights how this spiritual or mystical association has long influenced Pakistan’s political culture. Historical examples include Nawaz Sharif, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Ayub Khan, and Benazir Bhutto, all of whom were known to maintain ties with particular spiritual mentors or saints.
Through these comparisons, the video explores how religion and spirituality intersect with power and politics in Pakistan, shaping leadership narratives and public perception over time.

Apparently, Pakistan loses $760,000 per day (2025 estimate) for each day it doesn't allow Indian overflights, or about $277 million per year.

A problem is that Air India is losing more than that.

Air India estimates the ban has cut its annual profit before tax by $455 million.

On the one hand (e.g., the Dawn):

Pakistan’s airstrikes on Kabul signal a decisive shift in regional security policy, aiming to establish strong deterrence and curb escalating cross-border militancy.

Pakistan’s recent airstrikes on Kabul have reportedly alarmed the Taliban leadership and created what security sources describe as a “new deterrence.” According to The Express Tribune, the strikes marked a major shift in Islamabad’s counterterrorism strategy and signaled its readiness to act beyond the Durand Line.

This is becoming like "We provide moral support onlee for the PAF".

Is there a Qatar-Afghanistan Taliban axis? (vs. perhaps the Saudi-Pakistan axis?)

We are told that Al Jazeera showed a map with Pakistan's correct borders - i.e., all of POJK as part of India; and that this could not have happened by accident.

This is being interpreted as Qatar's signal to Pakistan that don't mess with Afghanistan.
