UN Report, Indus Waters Clash & U.S. Map Row, South Asia in Spotlight

Hello Readers,

Did you hear?

UN says Pak terror groups were behind Red Fort attack!

The UN Security Council's 1267 Sanctions Monitoring Team report explicitly links Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) to the deadly Red Fort car blast in Delhi. A member state confirmed JeM's claimed responsibility for the high-intensity attack, directly challenging Pakistan's assertion that the group is defunct. The report details JeM leader Masood Azhar's launch of a new women's terror wing, Jamaat ul-Muminat, to bolster operations. India's intelligence inputs were formally acknowledged, underscoring persistent cross-border terror threats from Pakistan. What else?

US discarded Pakistan like ‘toilet paper’!?

Pakistan's Defence Minister Khwaja Asif unleashed a scathing critique in Parliament, alleging the United States exploited Pakistan during its post-9/11 Afghanistan campaigns—first under Zia-ul-Haq in the Soviet era, then Pervez Musharraf—before discarding it "worse than toilet paper." He decried the catastrophic consequences: a terrorism epidemic, economic devastation, international isolation, and internal strife that Pakistan endures today. Asif labeled it a profound strategic blunder to side in superpower proxy wars unrelated to national interests, urging Islamabad to heed history's lessons while cautiously approaching ties with President Trump. What else?

Pakistan has accused India of using a ‘Dewatering Policy’!!

Pakistan has accused India of implementing a "dewatering policy" through the Sawalkote mega dam project on the Chenab River, claiming it violates the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). Pakistani officials, including Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi, argue the Rs 5,129 crore, 1,856 MW hydroelectric initiative in Jammu & Kashmir aims to deprive Pakistan of vital water resources, endangering its "existential water rights" as three-quarters of its water comes from western rivers like Chenab. Pakistan's Indus Water Commissioner sent letters on February 11 demanding consultations and vows international legal action, while India asserts sovereign developmental rights post-IWT pause. What else?

India has denied all such claims!

India firmly rejects Pakistan's accusations of pursuing a "dewatering policy" through the Sawalkote dam on the Chenab River. The Ministry of External Affairs states the 1,856 MW hydroelectric project fully complies with Indus Waters Treaty provisions, permitting non-consumptive hydropower without diverting water flows to Pakistan. Amid the treaty's suspension, India upholds its sovereign right to develop internal resources, dismissing claims as baseless and refusing further bilateral consultations on the matter. Pakistani concerns over water security are deemed unfounded under existing agreements. What else?

Pakistan asked the US to remove ‘incorrect’ India map from post!

Pakistan formally requested the US to remove a map from a social media post by the US Trade Representative's Office promoting the US-India interim trade framework. The map depicted Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Aksai Chin as Indian territory, which Islamabad labeled "illegal" and inconsistent with UN-recognized disputed boundaries. Following Pakistan's diplomatic protest, the US promptly deleted the post. Pakistan's Foreign Ministry welcomed the correction, affirming it aligned with internationally sanctioned regional maps. The episode underscores ongoing territorial sensitivities amid advancing bilateral trade ties. What else?

Sharif will be going for Trump’s Board of Peace meeting!!

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is heading to Washington for President Donald Trump’s inaugural Board of Peace meeting, aimed at Gaza reconstruction and fostering broader regional stability. Pakistan frames its involvement as a constructive step to amplify an Islamic-Arab consensus on the Palestinian issue, underscoring good-faith diplomatic engagement amid ongoing Middle East tensions. India, which received an invitation, remains cautious, carefully reviewing participation due to strategic reservations about the forum's potential expansion beyond traditional UN-led mechanisms. These latest developments highlight shifting U.S. alliances under Trump’s administration.

Speaking of developments, did you hear about the growing craze for Full Stack Development??

Among the many fields in technology, one of the most versatile fields is Full Stack Development. Unlike the standard back-end developer or the UI/UX front-end designer, a Full Stack Developer is an all-rounder that can do both and switch among either roles as the need arises! What do you do as a Full Stack Developer:-
 

• Gain end-to-end ownership — from user interface to database design.
   
• Develop cross-functional expertise that drives faster delivery and smarter decisions.

• Position yourself for leadership roles with a holistic view of system architecture.
   
• Stay relevant in an evolving digital landscape driven by full-stack capabilities.
   
• Deliver greater impact through technical breadth and execution agility.

Despite the onset of AI and news of layoffs, Full Stack Development is expected to grow even further. According to reports, the industry size for Full Stack Development was around $120.81 billion in 2025, and the same is expected to grow to $366.03 billion by 2030, indicating a CAGR of 24.67%!!
