“Transition Generation Leaders”
The Nation Transition generation leaders By: Marvi Memon | August 01, 2012 Ever since time immemorial, the thirst for maximisation of natural resources has led to the alteration of the world map. Empires have been made and broken. Countries have been born and split. But the rat race for resources still goes on.

The Nation The American empire and Pakistan By: Marvi Memon | July 25, 2012 What Lord Palmerston said at the height of the British Empire stands true for the American empire in the coming decade: “We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies.

The Nation Sindh cannot be divided ever By: Marvi Memon | May 22, 2012 | PML-N Quaid Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif is the only leader of a national party, who has been categorical about how the PML-N considers division of Sindh equivalent to treason and how Pakistan’s territorial integrity is linked to Sindh’s borders not being tampered with. As a worker of the PML-N, I consider my Quaid’s statement in line with the PML-Ns vision of intra and inter provincial harmony, which will bring prosperity to each Pakistani without any ethnic discrimination.
