Tags: India,
The role of the Judiciary in Pakistan in acting as a check on corruption in the Zardari government, and a check on the army's interference in Pakistan's democratic process. For the first time in Pakistan's history a peaceful tranistion between elected governments is planned in 2013.
Chief Justice Chaudhury and the Judiciary in Pakistan- the Judiciary fills in for a weak Executive branch of government
04/22/2013
An active Judiciary acts as a check on corruption in the Zardari government, on the army's interference in politics, and helps to ensure the first peaceful transition from one elected government to another in Pakistan's history. Polls show Chief Justice Chaudhury with over 70% popularity rating, 32% for former Army chief Musharraf, and 21% for president Zardari. By ensuring a peaceful democratic transition the Judiciary makes it possible for Pakistan to go beyond the period when elections were followed by army coups since its founding.

Pakistan groping for a new identity after failure of religion in the state.
09/29/2006
The failure of Islam as astate ideology to give Pakistan peace with its neighbors, and to modernize Pakistan. Instead of working it has proved dysfunctional and led to failures in economic development, failure in building ademocratic state, and left the country in abackward state with many divisions along political and tibal lines. The new identity being sought would keep Islam out of politics and set new priorities.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
