A victim of Climate Change

 As aptly said by Ban Ki-Moon, “Climate change does not respect borders; it does not respect who you are – rich and poor, small and big. Therefore, this is what we call global challenges, which require global solidarity.” I think climate change is the biggest existential threat to humanity. It does not discriminate against nations, states, ethnicities, and religions. In history, wars destroyed many nations. Now the world is facing a powerful and silent enemy in the form of global warming. This challenge asks for cooperation. In this regard, I think the world must come together to avert this challenge. One single country can't stop the threat of climate change. It is our collective responsibility. We should devise innovative schemes to cope with climate change. Governments should help people tackle and adopt sustainable methods in pursuing economy, technology, politics, and development. 

Nayyar Abbas's passion is writing. He earned a bachelor's degree in Economics and Political Science and a master's in Development Studies in Peace and Conflict. He writes about economics, politics, religion, philosophy, and peace. His aim is to highlight classical liberal ideas of economics, politics, and identity changes in a fast-transforming world.

Is Iran an ungrateful nation?

On December 2, 2025, I flew to Tehran, Iran, for a tourism trip with two friends. We took a five-hour flight from Islamabad to Tehran. Upon arriving at Tehran Airport, we exchanged some dollars for Iranian rials and took a taxi to the city center.  Imam Khomeini International Airport , Tehran At the Tehran Grand Bazaar , I experienced a different side of Iran. I learned that the country has been under the control of the Islamic clergy since the revolution in 1979 . The people of Iran have been compelled by the clergy to follow a strict Islamic code of conduct, which includes wearing veils in public, a ban on music in taxis and shops, restrictions on the sale and consumption of marijuana, and limited freedom of movement. Golestan Palace, Tehran, Iran I was informed that the clergy has hindered the economic, social, and cultural well-being of the people. Iran suffers from unpaved roads and inadequate infrastructure. Cleanliness is lacking, food is often unhygienic, and homelessness i...

Protest in the Sost Dry-port

Traders and people have been protesting for more than a month at the Sost dry port. On September 23, 2025, the Federal Government of Pakistan, the Gilgit-Baltistan government, and the traders' association agreed to end the protest, and it was decided to allow the people of Gilgit-Baltistan to trade up to 4 billion PKR with tax exemption. The agreement hasn't addressed structural challenges. This agreement opens the door for mega corruption, which has been widely practiced at the Sost Dry Port. It allows customs authorities and traders to manipulate tax exemptions. The people of GB demand two things: either they are integrated into the constitution of Pakistan as its fifth province, or there will be no tax on their business and income.  GB does not enjoy equal rights, and it is not a constitutional province of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. It has been inaccurately associated with the Kashmir issues. Since 1947, GB has been governed by a primitive governance structure, where ...

Socrates Ideal State

Socrates envisioned an ideal state with a perfect society. In his state, every human being is treated as a subject, and each has to be trained for a specific task. In this ideal state, the  learned and rational people are the philosopher king who guide and run the affairs of the state. A philosopher king has to study philosophy, geometry, and astronomy for the perfection of his judgment, virtues, and decisions. Socrates' philosophy teaches a person to be a philosopher king, capable of forgoing his desire and gaining consciousness to distinguish between evil and virtue. A philosopher king possesses truth, courage, steadfastness, knowledge, and a sound mind. Women have the same privileges as men in the ideal state, and can enjoy the same benefits. In the hierarchy of classes, the second tier is t he auxiliaries, who are soldiers. They are trained to defend, protect, and safeguard the state from external enemies. An auxiliary is trained in physical activities and is always ready to de...
