The Mughal capital, Delhi, stood not only as a city of bazaars, mosques, and minarets, but as the fading shadow of a once-mighty throne. In the crumbling Red Fort, the last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar, sat helpless, his poetry carrying more strength than his dwindling army.

How fearless African American women broke barriers, tamed the frontier, and rewrote Western history
Shattering Myths of the Wild West When most people picture the Wild West, they imagine sheriffs with shiny badges, white cowboys driving herds of cattle, and saloon girls dancing under dim lantern light. Hollywood movies and television created that image and repeated it until it became accepted as fact. But the real West was far more diverse. Among its most overlooked pioneers were Black cowgirls—women who rode, roped, herded cattle, and owned stables at a time when both their race and gender were considered barriers.

The Pashtun Legacy in Pakistan’s Birth
The Forgotten Pillars: Pashtun Sacrifices in the Making of Pakistan When the story of Pakistan is told, often it is a tale of political negotiations in Delhi, fiery speeches by Muslim League leaders, and the vision of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

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.
