The Man Who Changed History


Asif Ali Zardari, the man who changed the history of Pakistan, he took over the Aiwan-e-saddar on 9 September 2008 as the 11th president of Pakistan. His initial work started by calling Hamid Karzai, the president of Afghanistan, which helped deepen the relations of Pakistan. Later he went to UN where the most successful work he did was to basically develop better relationship with Indian Prime Minister.
But the above mentioned facts are just not enough to say that he changed history. The reasons that forced us to give him the title of the man who changed history is firstly and fore mostly that he was able to maintain his presidency for the complete 5 year period and that is something never happened in Pakistan before. He though faced a lot of criticism was able to keep army satisfied and prevented another martial law in the country.
Moreover, his reign was the first reign where one democratic government gave their control to another government. Though people reported rigging in the election yet Pakistan was surely able to complete one era of democratic government. Further on we saw that media criticized him and his government a lot yet he showed a positive attitude and prevented to take any harsh actions on banning them.
Moving towards his energy policy, he signed a really great agreement that is the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline, $500 million, controversial project. This is the project that basically deals in by bringing gas all the way from Iran to Pakistan. Moreover, he also signed an agreement in the trans- afghan gas pipeline project. Hence making sure that in coming year Pakistan is able to deal with the upcoming energy crisis issue.


Lastly, to sum it all up he was the president who faced all the most controversial issue like his prime minister being derailed, the Swiss-bank issue and many other related stuff. But we can say that he did took a lot of tough decisions that were necessary for Pakistan at that time. Therefore, I would be concluding by saying, Asif Ali Zardari is, the man who changed history.

Padmavat - A Review

Padmavat - A Review By Ahmed RIK Padmavat or a Sanjay Leela Bhansali's power ballad praising the valor, pride, and honor of the Rajputs. A film that had initially faced numerous crisis and controversies within India and that too by Rajputs themselves nowhere depicts Rajputs in an irksome position. Padmavat, as said in disclaimer too, is not a history lesson. So if you're thinking to get a history lesson on the real story of either the Sultan Khilji or Maharawal Rattan Singh and the conquest of Chittor than let me warn you at this stage, it not a history lesson. Rather it’s a beautiful and an epic visual adaptations of the epic poetry by Sufi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi. Though the synopsis of the film and the story within the poetry differ but the main characters of the poem resemble. The film opens with a great depiction of what could possibly be the 1300s in Afghanistan and then centers into the dark dynasty of the Khaljis. Tha...

The Unorthodox Love

I don’t know how it all happened and I would never know how it would come to an end? All I now know is that I would have a green Khirqah (robe) and a saffron Stola covering me. There would be vermillion embossed between the parting of my hair and there would be garland around my neck. There would be anklets around my ankles and bangles around my wrist. The blood within me would be rushing out in your name and my eyes would be seeking your face. There would be loud blows of shehnai and battering of dhol. I would be swirling around, like the moon around the earth, in ecstasy while in my heart I would be chanting your name.There would be nothing unless it's you and then there would be you and me worshiping you. It would be your name that would be my fame. It's unorthodox, Wrong, Frowned upon but why doesn't it feel like it. Why does it feel right? Euphoric?  Mystic?
