- Can every case of government negligence be settled with “Diyat” (blood money)? Or does this culture protect systemic failure instead of delivering justice?
The Bhati Gate incident has once again raised serious questions about governance, accountability, and institutional responsibility. Was it merely an unfortunate accident — or a reflection of deep-rooted flaws in Pakistan’s administrative and legal system?
From Bhati Gate to the culture of “sweep it under the rug,” why does the system refuse to reform? Why are tragedies followed by compensation instead of structural change? And most importantly — who is truly responsible when state institutions fail?
In this video, we break down:
The facts behind the Bhati Gate tragedy

- Lahore’s Basant was once a people’s festival — raw, risky, vibrant and deeply cultural. From bare hands and cut fingers to the roar of Bo Kata, the skies once belonged to the Guddi Baz. But what happens when a people’s celebration is taken over by the state?
In this hard-hitting Urdu talk show, journalist Ahsan Raza speaks with Dr Farid A.

- India has tightened its control over social media by slashing the deadline for removing “illegal content” from 36 hours to just three hours. The new IT rules, effective from February 20, put platforms like Meta, YouTube and X under intense pressure in a market of over one billion internet users.
In this episode, senior journalist Ahsan Raza examines what the new law really means, why the government has not explained the sudden change, and how digital rights groups see it as another step towards tighter online censorship. Legal experts warn that removing content within three hours is nearly impossible and leaves no room for review or resistance.
As India issues thousands of takedown orders every year, the big question remains: is this about fighting illegal content, or controlling online speech?

- As India continues to invest heavily in armoured formations built around Russian-origin tanks, the Ukraine war has forced a serious rethink of long-held battlefield assumptions. Footage and open-source data from Ukraine show Russian tanks being detected, tracked and destroyed by low-cost FPV drones and top-attack missiles, raising questions about survivability, doctrine and design.
In this episode, Ahsan Raza examines what the failure of Russian armour in Ukraine means for India’s tank fleet, which relies largely on T-72 and T-90 platforms. The programme explains why these designs, once considered battle-proven, are now struggling in drone-dominated, sensor-saturated battlefields where concealment is almost impossible.
The discussion also looks at India’s indigenous Arjun tank programme, its weight and mobility challenges, and why it failed to emerge as a scalable alternative. Rather than declaring tanks obsolete, the episode explains why poorly designed a...

In this in-depth solo show, journalist Ahsan Raza examines Pakistan’s expanding defence diplomacy, from military agreements with Libya and Sudan to strategic security ties with Saudi Arabia.
The programme explores how Pakistan’s rising profile after the 2025 India-Pakistan crisis boosted interest in JF-17 fighter jets, drones, and air defence systems, while internal challenges such as militancy in Balochistan, terror attacks in Islamabad, and border tensions with Afghanistan continue to strain national security capacity.

Senior ministers and doctors ensured hospital care and ultimately facilitated his travel to London for advanced treatment, despite strong political backlash.

- Basant returns to Lahore but kite traders say the ground reality is alarming
Basant is back in Lahore after more than two decades, filling the city with colour, music and flying kites. But behind the celebrations, a different story is unfolding.
In this episode, journalist Ahsan Raza goes inside Lahore’s historic kite-making areas, where traders say they are struggling to find bamboo, paper and basic raw material. Many have paid licence fees and registered with the government, yet they are unable to produce kites. Prices are rising, workers are sitting idle and fears of legal trouble are growing due to the new barcode system on kites.
This video explores how Basant’s return is affecting kite makers, shopkeepers, workers and public safety in Lahore. Are the authorities prepared? Can the festival remain safe without hurting the people who keep it alive?
Watch to see the hidden side of Basant that most people are not being told.

- The private world of Pervez Musharraf through his son’s eyes
Former president and military ruler Pervez Musharraf kept his family away from power and politics, even at the height of his rule. In this episode, Ahsan Raza explores a rare and personal side of Musharraf through the memories of his son, Bilal Musharraf.
From life in America during the 1999 coup to quiet family reunions, and from debates about education and technology to memories of Lahore’s Forman Christian College, this show looks at how Musharraf lived away from the spotlight.
This is not a political defence or attack. It is a human story about a man who ruled Pakistan for nearly a decade but kept his family out of the public eye.

- Why does the Pakistani state fail the people who pay for it?
When Gul Plaza burned in Karachi, the state watched.
People paid taxes, shopkeepers lost everything, and no one was held to account.
In this powerful conversation, governance expert Dr Farid Malik explains why Pakistan’s state works against its own people — while Nordic countries protect theirs and the United States runs on rules and performance.
From burning markets to broken railways, from silent offices to untouchable officials, this episode asks one simple question:
Is Pakistan a state that serves its people — or a system that feeds on them?

- Is Pakistan really poor — or is its wealth hidden from its own state?
From luxury weddings and rising property empires to billion-dollar smuggling networks and a trillion-dollar shadow economy, Pakistan clearly has money. Yet the government keeps begging for loans while ordinary people are taxed to the bone.
In this hard-hitting conversation, economist and governance expert Dr Farid Malik explains why only 1% of Pakistanis pay income tax, how the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) fuels corruption instead of collecting revenue, and why the real economy survives only in the shadows.
This episode compares Pakistan’s broken system with how the United States and Nordic countries built transparent, fair tax models — and asks the most dangerous question of all:
Is Pakistan broke, or is its state designed to loot its own people?

- Pakistan’s Economic Collapse and the Forgotten Engineers Who Could Save It
Pakistan is facing one of the worst economic crises in its history, with soaring inflation, rising debt, collapsing infrastructure and massive youth unemployment. Yet the country has more than 388,000 registered engineers, many of whom are jobless or forced into humiliating work. In this episode, Ahsan Raza reveals how Pakistan’s failure to use its engineers has deepened the economic collapse, fuelled brain drain and weakened national security. From PEC stamp exploitation to global comparisons with China, India and the United States, this show explains why engineer-led governance is the missing key to Pakistan’s survival and future growth.

A deadly fire at Karachi’s Gul Plaza shook the city, but the political storm that followed may be even more dangerous. In this episode, Ahsan Raza connects the dots between the tragedy, the sudden attack on the 18th Amendment, and calls to bring Karachi under federal control. Are these demands really about safety and governance, or is a deeper political engineering under way to weaken the PPP and the city’s elected mayor? Watch this sharp and fearless conversation that asks the questions many are afraid to say.

- Pakistan back in Middle East power game as India and UAE sign defence deal
Is Pakistan once again becoming the centre of Middle East power politics?
After the surprise defence partnership between India and the United Arab Emirates, questions are being raised across the Arab world, Turkey and South Asia. Many analysts believe this move is linked to the growing Saudi Arabia–Pakistan defence alliance and Turkey’s increasing closeness to Riyadh and Islamabad.
In this podcast, we explore how Pakistan’s role as the only Muslim nuclear power is reshaping regional equations, why the UAE is moving closer to India, and whether Israel is quietly backing a new geopolitical bloc in West Asia. We also examine how Saudi Arabia’s defence ties with Pakistan have triggered anxiety in Abu Dhabi and Delhi, and what this means for the future of the Middle East.
From Riyadh to Ankara, from New Delhi to Abu Dhabi, a new power struggle is unfolding — and Pakist...

In this thought-provoking discussion, journalist Ahsan Raza speaks with economist Dr Farid Malik about Pakistan’s development priorities, the lessons from Asian Tigers, the role of applied research, and why roads and infrastructure alone cannot secure a nation’s future. The conversation questions whether Pakistan is investing in the right direction — building concrete or building people.
