  • Pakistan's Army
    Pakistan’s Army: New Chief, traditional institutional interests Introduction A year after speculation about the names of those in the race for selection as the new Army Chief of Pakistan began, General Qamar Bajwa eventually took charge as Pakistan's 16th Chief of Army Staff on 29th of November 2016, succeeding General Raheel Sharif. Ordinarily, such appointments in the defence services of countries do not generate much attention, but the opposite holds true for Pakistan. Why this is so is evident from the popular aphorism, "while every country has an army, the Pakistani Army has a country". In Pakistan, the army has a history of overshadowing political landscape - the democratically elected civilian government in reality has very limited authority or control over critical matters of national importance such as foreign policy and security. A historical background The military in Pakistan is not merely a human resource to guard the country against the enemy but has political wallop and opinions. To know more about the power that the army enjoys in Pakistan, it is necessary to examine the times when Pakistan came into existence in 1947. In 1947, both India and Pakistan were carved out of the British Empire. India became a democracy whereas Pakistan witnessed several military rulers and still continues to suffer from a severe civil- military imbalance even after 70 years of its birth. During India’s war of Independence, the British primarily recruited people from the Northwest of undivided India which post partition became Pakistan. It is noteworthy that the majority of the people recruited in the Pakistan Army during that period were from the Punjab martial races.

  • In Focus O5 Dec 2013
    www.capsindia.org IN FOCUS O5 DEC 2013 APPOINTMENT OF THE NEW ARMY CHIEF IN PAKISTAN Mohammed Rashid Research Associate, CAPS Is the appointment of new army chief by Nawaz Sharif an effective step to limit the sway of an institution that has ruled Pakistan for more than half of its 66 years of history? What could be the implications for India? Pakistan has a history of the military coup and it has always been vulnerable to military interference in state politics. Nawaz Sharif must have not forgotten the tremendous political upheaval and the dramatic turn of the events in 1999. When his handpicked general Musharraf engineered a coup against him in October 1999 and threw both Nawaz Sharif and his brother Shahbaz Sharif in jail and then forced them to live in exile. Having bitter experiences in the past with country’s powerful military generals, Nawaz Sharif took long time to contemplate and in the history of Pakistan this is the first time a Prime minister took such a long time in making his mind on the key military appointments. Born in Quetta on 16 June 1956, Lieutenant General Raheel Sharif comes from a Punjabi family and grew up steeped in the military tradition. He is also considered as a gentleman with soft-spoken and dignified personality.i Shabbir Sharif, Raheel Sharif’s elder brother, was a course-mate of General Pervez Musharraf, and was killed during the 1971 war against India and awarded the Nishan-i- Haider, Pakistan's highest military award.ii Major Narain Singh, who led the counter-attack from India on the bridge that had been captured by Sharif and men, too died in the battle (awarded the Veer Chakra).iii www.capsindia.org IN FOCUS O5 DEC 2013 The decision came as a shock to all those predicting the scenario of Pakistan’s politics.

This article is published with open access Abstract Background Wolfram syndrome (WFS) is characterized by deafness, diabetes mellitus, and diabetes insipidus along with optic atrophy. WFS has an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance and is due to variants in WFS1 and CISD2. Methods We evaluated the underlying molecular etiology of three affected members of a consanguineous family with hearing impairment, bicuspid aortic valve, diabetes mellitus and insipidus, clinodactyly, and gastrointestinal tract fi 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: abnormalities via exome sequencing approach. We correlated clinical and imaging data with the genetic ndings and their associated phenotypes. Results We identified a homozygous missense variant p.(Asn1097Lys) in CDK13, a gene previously associated with autosomal dominant congenital heart defects, dysmorphic facial features, clinodactyly, gastrointestinal tract abnormalities, intellectual developmental disorder, and seizures with variable phenotypic features. Conclusion We report a homozygous variant in CDK13 and suggest that this gene causes an autosomal recessive disorder with hearing impairment, bicuspid aortic valve, diabetes mellitus and insipidus, clinodactyly, and gastrointestinal tract abnormalities.

  • Lionhearted Custodians of Pakistan
    Lionhearted Custodians of Pakistan As vindicated by the history, since its independence, Pakistan has produced a class of heroes whose courage, selflessness and resolve remained remarkable throughout. Evidently, the Pakistani soldiers from every generation have given their best in the battlefield for the dignity of nation and respect of their homeland. The heroes of Pakistan definitely understood that a wound inflicted by the enemy to a single member of this nation is a wound inflicted to the whole country, with this courage and inspiration, the lionhearted defenders sacrificed their lives for the honour and prestige of their beloved homeland. As a matter of fact, to remember and commemorate their sacrifices, the whole nation is proud of their martyred heroes and they are still alive in the hearts of millions of people. There are countless such heroes who have fought in different wars such as Pak-Indo wars of 1965, 1971 and 1999 with great determination and sacrificed their lives for their beloved homeland and few of them were honoured with highest military award of “Nishan-e-Haider”. Captain Raja Muhammad Sarwar Shaheed - Punjab Regiment “Captain Raja Muhammad Sarwar Shaheed,” the brave hero of the “Battle of Tilpatra” in the Uri Sector of Kashmir is the winner of first “Nishan-e-Haider” of Pakistan. He was born in the year 1910, in Punjab before the partition of the Sub-continent. During the battle of Tilpatra, Muhammad Sarwar was a Captain in the Pakistan Army where he was appointed as a Signal Officer of the 2 Punjab Regiment in Kashmir. During the clash at Tilpatra Ridge between Indian and Pakistani troops, he volunteered himself to lead the troops to launch an offensive strike on the enemy’s troops.
