سوشل میڈیا کے رجحانات اور مقامی شاعری کے ذریعے جنسی زیادتی کو معمول بنانا.

When sexual abuse is turned into a joke, a “trend,” a poetic metaphor, or something to be casually shared on social media, we slowly become desensitized to the violence behind it.
In this conversation, Sameer Haider Shah discusses how social media trends and certain forms of local poetry can normalize harmful ideas, especially when abuse is romanticized, mocked, or treated as entertainment. This is not about attacking poetry, culture, or creativity—it is about questioning what we normalize, what we celebrate, and how our words can shape the way society understands abuse. We need conversations that challenge these patterns instead of making them invisible.

🇵🇰 14 August Special Series | Stories of Pakistan’s Heroes

He could have stayed home. Instead, he chose the frontline.

In 1999, during the Kargil War, Havaldar Lalak Jan Shaheed volunteered for deployment to the forward positions.

On July 7, 1999, despite being severely wounded, he continued defending his position until he was martyred.

For his extraordinary courage and sacrifice, he was posthumously awarded Nishan-e-Haider, Pakistan’s highest military award.

From Hundur in Yasin, Gilgit-Baltistan, to the Kargil battlefield, this is the story of a soldier whose sacrifice became part of Pakistan’s history.

This 14 August, we remember the people who gave everything for the country they called home.

Havaldar Lalak Jan Shaheed — a name remembered beyond the battlefield. 🇵🇰
