But now the Joker of the Pack – Digvijaya Singh – also exclaimed in that Freudian slip, something equivalent to “The King has no clothes”. He said in a statement that Congress is now trying its best to distance itself from: “Personally, I feel that this model hasn’t worked very well. Because, I personally feel that there should not be two... Read more

Last updated on: April 1, 2013 at 5:13 pm By Desh Kapoor

Badam Zari, courageous woman from Northwest Tribal area in Pakistan running for elections

Last updated on: April 1, 2013 at 3:06 pm By Desh Kapoor

Most of the news coming out of Tribal Pakistan is usually pretty sad and negative. Sometimes, one needs to also acknowledge news which shows these guys as “somewhat” normal people. Badam Zari is a lady from Bajur, part of Pakistan’s semiautonomous tribal region bordering Afghanistan. The area is populated by the Pashtun tribesmen. Conservative and medieval in their mindset. It is not far from this area that Malala was “put in place” by the Taliban. Now, Zari, a 40-year old... Read more
