Watandost means "friend of the nation or country". The blog contains news and views that are insightful but are often not part of the headlines. It also covers major debates in Muslim societies across the world including in the West. An earlier focus of the blog was on 'Pakistan and and its neighborhood' (2005 - 2017) the record of which is available in blog archive.

All torture that had been done on lawyers and journalists is really condemnable. Also read about the situation at the fiollowing links:
29 September manifests how those claiming to have established enlightened moderation in Pakistan gave its goons a free hand to suppress free expression.
Instead of upholding the rule of law, its custodians held up the baton. Instead of tolerating the right to assmble, authorities resorted to the might to disperse.
What kind of accomodation such blantant display of heavy-handedness is supposed to Pakistan to? The series of mishaps from 9 March (GHQ) to 12 May (Karachi) and 10 September (Islamabad Airport) to 29 September (Election Commission) suggest that this bunch is perennially disposed to display power instead of flexibility that any true statesmanship requires.
