Pakistanâs celebration of âself-determinationâ masks a deeper reality of disenfranchisement and control in both parts of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmirâthe so-called Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit-Baltistan. When judged by quality of life, representation, and rights, the narrative falls apart.
Potential regime change in Iran could reshape GilgitâBaltistan, weakening Shia networks, disrupting ChinaâPakistan strategies under CPEC, and intensifying regional contestation between Western influence, local identity, and strategic resource exploitation.
The NA 130 verdict exemplifies Pakistanâs hybrid system, where elections, courts, and constitutional amendments serve elite management. Imran Khanâs confinement underscores military dominance over civilian politics and managed democracy.
As part of Turkeyâs ambition to emerge as a global Islamic leader, it is seeking to expand its influence in Indiaâs neighbourhood. Its strategic ties with Pakistan and Bangladesh remain an area of concern for India.
