A Light That Shone from the Soil
Today, on the blessed occasion of Defence Day of Pakistan (6th September), I was honored to visit the shrine of my hero, the pride of Swabi and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the great son of Pakistan, Captain Colonel Sher Khan Shaheed (رحمۃ اللہ علیہ), in my own village. For me, this was a matter of immense pride. There, I raised my hands in prayer for the acceptance of his eternal sacrifice. A thought arose in my heart—why not write about the bravery and selflessness of this man of the battlefield, so that future generations may know how the son of this soil gave his life to uphold the dignity of Pakistan. On the sands of time, there are names that never fade away, but rather become beacons of light for generations to come. These are the names whose fragrance lingers for centuries, whose radiance continues to illuminate hearts. Among such names shines brightly the name of Colonel Sher Khan Shaheed (رحمۃ اللہ علیہ)—the crown of Pakistan’s forehead and the proud son of the soil of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, who offered the gift of his life and wrote golden words in the pages of history. Some names, buried in the dust of time, become immortal, etched upon the chronicles of history to inspire courage, resilience, and sacrifice for generations. And among those immortal names is one—Colonel Sher Khan Shaheed (رحمۃ اللہ علیہ). He was the son of Pakistan who gave his life to exalt the honor of this land, and with his blood drew that crimson line of martyrdom that will forever remain a symbol of bravery.

Velask: The First Spark of World War 3
Velask: The First Spark of World War 3” Cold wind clawed at the edge of the Karakorum ridge, carrying ice and sand in equal measure. Dawn light crept weakly across the skyline, illuminating the jagged peaks in dull gold. Border guards in both Naryanov and Velask—once peaceful neighbors—watched through binoculars, breaths invisible in the razor-sharp air. Tension rippled in frozen lines, each soldier a living fuse.

The Art of War: Global Power Projection and Strategic Alliances. AI-Generated.
The history of nations and empires is, in many ways, the history of war and the mastery of strategic power projection. From the writings of Sun Tzu in The Art of War to the modern doctrines of military science, the core idea remains the same: victory is not merely about fighting battles but about shaping the world in ways that favor one’s long-term interests. Superpowers throughout history have understood that wars are not only fought on their own borders but are often projected thousands of miles away to establish dominance and deter adversaries. The United States and Russia exemplified this in the 20th century by bringing their power far beyond their homelands—whether through proxy wars, military bases, or political alliances—to maintain their global influence.

The Louisiana Purchase: America’s $15 Million Deal
In the early 1800s, America was a young country. Dreams were big but power was limited. Land stretched westward beyond the thirteen colonial states, but it was largely unexplored and uncertain. In 1803, a single decision changed the face of America forever. It was the Louisiana Purchase—a land deal that nearly doubled the country’s land area for just $15 million.

Lewis and Clark: Mapping the Unknown West
The year 1803 brought a new turn in American history. That year, the United States purchased a vast territory from France called the "Louisiana Purchase." This land covered almost half of the United States, but no one knew much about it. It was at this point that President Thomas Jefferson selected two brave explorers and adventurers to write a new chapter in the history of the fledgling nation. These two men were Merriweather Lewis and William Clark. Their goal was to map the unknown West, establish contact with the native tribes, and find out if there was a waterway that led to the Pacific Ocean.
