Makran Coast: Fishermen as the Silent Guardians

Image
Makran Coast: Fishermen as the Silent Guardians Along Pakistan’s Makran Coast —particularly in Balochistan —there is no active, well-equipped technical coastal monitoring institution . The responsibility of observing marine life, reporting environmental changes, and documenting illegal activities has largely fallen on the shoulders of the local fishing communities . Fishermen from Gwadar, Ganz , and other coastal areas of Balochistan have emerged as the true, unpaid guardians of the sea . Working voluntarily and without any formal support, they collect critical data on marine biodiversity, endangered species, and illegal fishing practices. Using social media and direct communication, they regularly share this information with environmental and conservation organizations. A dolphin found dead at Gwadar sea Despite their crucial role, the contributions of these fishermen are rarely acknowledged in media reports or official narratives. At the very least, their efforts deserve recognition ...

The World’s Highest IQ Holder Claims God’s Existence Can Be Proven Through Mathematics The person believed to have the highest IQ in the world , South Korean scientist YoungHoon Kim , has expressed strong beliefs about the existence of God , claiming that mathematics itself can be used to prove God’s reality . YoungHoon Kim, whose reported IQ is 276 , says that God is 100 percent real and that this truth can be demonstrated through three simple mathematical principles . First Principle: A Line Cannot Exist Without a Point In geometry, a line cannot begin without a point. According to Kim, this principle also applies to existence itself. Everything must have a starting point, and that initial point is God , who set the universe and life into motion.

An Open Letter to the Government of Balochistan, Health Department & PPHI Authorities

Image
An Open Letter to the Government of Balochistan, Health Department & PPHI Authorities Honourable Chief Minister of Balochistan Honourable Secretary Health Chief Executive Officer, PPHI Balochistan Respected Authorities, This letter is not written for personal gain. It is written for a man who died on duty, for his children, and for those who may be next. Abdul Haq , a Dispenser at BHU Warazi, District Dukki , passed away after suffering a heart attack during duty hours. He was an honest, intelligent, and dedicated employee of PPHI who served people in remote areas with sincerity and commitment. The question is not how he died.

Is there any death benefit for a contract employee who dies while serving the public? The painful truth is: No. Thousands of PPHI employees work on contract: No pension No insurance No de...

British Muslims Donate Four Times More to Charity Than the Average UK Donor

Image
British Muslims Donate Four Times More to Charity Than the Average UK Donor Charitable giving has long been a defining feature of British society , but recent studies reveal a striking fact: British Muslims donate around four times more to charity than the average UK donor . This generosity is rooted in faith, community values, and a deep sense of social responsibility, making British Muslims one of the most charitable groups in the country. Faith as a Foundation for Giving At the heart of Muslim charitable giving lies Zakat , one of the five pillars of Islam . Zakat is an obligatory donation, requiring Muslims to give 2.5% of their savings each year to support the poor and vulnerable. This system ensures that charity is not occasional, but a consistent and structured practice. In addition to Zakat, Muslims also give Sadaqah , which is voluntary charity. Sadaqah can be given at any time, in any amount, and for a wide range of causes—from helping a neighbor in need to supporting l...

But behind the glamour of a famous surname lies a deeply personal journey of identity, self-worth, and hard-earned confidence.

Japan’s Education Model: Should the Whole World Follow It?

Image
  Japan’s Education Model: Should the Whole World Follow It? Around the world, education is often measured by grades, exams, and competition. From a very young age, children are placed under academic pressure, which can lead to stress, anxiety, and a loss of interest in learning. In contrast, Japan’s education system offers a refreshing and thoughtful alternative. In Japan, children usually do not take formal exams until around the age of 10 . During the early years, the focus is not on grades but on building character and social values . The goal is to raise good human beings first, and successful students later. Key Features of Japan’s Early Education System Kindness and Respect : Children are taught to respect teachers, classmates, and society Responsibility : Students clean their own classrooms and learn to care for shared spaces Cooperation and Teamwork : Helping others and working together is strongly encouraged Character Building : Honesty, discipline, and self-cont...

Image
Jodidara: The Unique Polyandry Tradition of Himachal Pradesh’s Hatti Tribe India is home to hundreds of indigenous cultures, many of which follow social systems shaped by geography, economy, and survival needs. One such rare and fascinating tradition is Jodidara , practiced by the Hatti tribe of Himachal Pradesh , particularly in the Trans-Giri region of Sirmaur district . What Is Jodidara? Jodidara is a traditional system of fraternal polyandry , in which two or more brothers share one wife . Unlike common marital systems, this arrangement is based on mutual consent and family agreement, deeply rooted in the tribe’s cultural values. Why Did This System Emerge? The hilly terrain of Himachal Pradesh offers limited cultivable land . If each brother were to marry separately, family land would be divided into smaller, less productive portions. Jodidara emerged as a practical solution to: Prevent fragmentation of ancestral land Maintain economic stability Keep the joint family system int...

Italy’s Silent Crisis: Hundreds of Towns with No Newborns

Image
  Italy’s Silent Crisis: Hundreds of Towns with No Newborns Italy is facing a quiet but deeply alarming demographic emergency—one that threatens the country’s social, economic, and cultural future. According to Italy’s national statistics institute ( Istat ) , 358 villages and towns recorded zero births in 2023 , an increase from 328 towns five years earlier . This is not just a statistic; it is a warning signal that parts of Italy are slowly fading into silence. A Nation Growing Older, Not Younger Italy already has one of the lowest birth rates in Europe . With fewer children being born each year and life expectancy continuing to rise, the population is rapidly aging. Many small towns, especially in rural and mountainous regions, now have more cemeteries than cradles . Schools are closing, local businesses are shutting down, and entire communities are being left with elderly residents and no next generation to replace them. Why Are Births Declining? Several factors are driving thi...

Image
The Invisible Child: How a 9-Year-Old Survived Alone in France for Two Years Between 2020 and 2022, a deeply troubling yet extraordinary case emerged in France —one that left authorities, educators, and the public stunned. A 9-year-old boy was discovered to have been living completely alone for nearly two years after his mother moved out to live with her partner. During this time, the child survived without heating, without hot water, and without any adult supervision. His daily meals consisted largely of cake, canned food, and whatever he could manage on his own. What shocked investigators even more was not just how he survived—but how normal his life appeared from the outside. A Childhood Hidden in Plain Sight Despite his harsh living conditions, the boy continued attending school every single day. He completed his homework, followed classroom rules, and maintained good academic performance. His teachers described him as polite, quiet, and hardworking. No red flags were raised. No a...
