International Women's Day - 8th March

Women’s Day – A Day to Think

Bacha Khan once said, "If you want to know how civilized a nation is, look at how they treat their women." It is time for us to look at ourselves. Are we treating our women with respect? Our mothers, sisters, and daughters have always been the backbone of our society. They raise warriors, teach wisdom, and keep our traditions alive. Yet, many of them are denied education, forced into early marriages, and silenced in the name of honor.

If we want a strong and honorable society, we must stand with our women. A nation that keeps its women behind can never move forward. Real honor is not in controlling women—it is in protecting their dignity, supporting their dreams, and treating them as equals.

Many people may not celebrate Women’s Day, but the truth is, women in Pakistan suffer every day. More than ten women are killed in the name of honor. Around 19 women are raped. Many are forced into marriage. Thousands are made to leave their dreams and choices behind. So many women face harassment, discrimination, and violence. Pakistan is ranked one of the worst countries for women and gender equality. To all the women who go through this pain – you are strong. Society has put heavy chains on you. Traditions, rules, and unfair policies have silenced your voices. But always remember – power is never given back easily. You have to take it back. You must stand up for your rights.

And to the Pukhtoon community, look around you. Millions of women in your own land live like prisoners. They follow the same religion, speak the same language, and share the same culture, yet they are treated as if they don’t exist. They deserve the same freedom, authority and respect as men.

Women’s Day is not just a celebration – it is a reminder that the fight for women’s rights is not over. It is time to speak up and take action.

Love's Strength: A Powerful Force for Good

Image
  Think about life like a big puzzle, where two important pieces are power and love. People usually see power and love as opposites, but what if we look at the idea of "The Power of Love"? Here, love isn't just a soft feeling, but a strong force that can do amazing things. Love, usually thought of as something gentle, can actually be a powerful force for change. It can bring people together, heal hurts, and inspire great things. Imagine a world where love isn't just a nice idea but a real power that can change societies and help people understand each other. The power of love isn't about being bossy, but about being together. It can make different hearts feel connected and create a bond of understanding and care. Love helps people be kind and do good things, and these good things can spread and make the world a better place. Think about love not just as a feeling but as a choice. It's like deciding to be understanding and nice even when things are tough. In th...

دو لوگوں کے درمیان مکالمہ "بہادری" پر۔

 ! اسلام علیکم میں ہوں آپکا میزبان اور آپ سن رہے ہیں ریڈیو 107.4 کی آواز۔ سامعین، ہم ایک ایسے معاشرے میں رہ رہے ہیں جہاں پر تحقیق بہت کم ہوتی ہے۔ ہم چیزوں کو بغیر تحقیق کے مان لیتے ہیں، بس جس نے جو کہا وہ ہم نے مان لیا۔ اور یہی وجہ ہے کہ بہت سے ایسے الفاظ یا اصطلاحات کو ہم اسکے حقیقی معنوں میں استعمال نہیں کرتے بلکہ اُن معنوں میں استعمال کرتے ہیں جو کہ ہم نے سنا ہے یا جیسے ہمیں بتایا گیا ہو۔ بلکل ایک ایسی ہی اصطلاح پر آج ہم بات کرینگے اور اسکو اسکے حقیقی معنوں میں جاننے کی کوشش کریں گے اور وہ اصطلاح ہے "بہادری"۔ جی ہاں آپ نے صحیح سنا، آج جس موضوع پر ہم بات کرینگے وہ ہے "بہادری" اور ہمارا ساتھ دینگی ہماری کو ہوسٹ (۔۔۔۔۔)۔  Host: جی! تو کیا آپ نے کبھی کہ دراصل بہادر ہونے کا کیا مطلب ہے، یا بہادر کون لوگ ہوتے ہیں؟ کیونکہ گزشتہ چند ہفتوں سے میں اسی کے بارے میں سوچ رہا ہوں کہ اصل میں بہادری ہے کیا اور کون اور کیسے ہوتے ہیں بہادر لوگ؟ Co-Host: یہ واقعی ایک دلچسپ موضوع ہے۔ جس طرح آپ نے پروگرام کے شروعات میں فرمایا کہ؛ ہمارے ہاں چیزوں کو اسکے حقیقی معنوں میں سمجھا نہیں جاتا...
