The Mad Elephant Marching Across the World.

The Mad Elephant Marching Across the World.



In global politics, metaphors often explain realities better than statistics. Today’s world order can best be described by one such metaphor: a mad elephant marching across the world.


An elephant is powerful, massive, and dominant. But when it loses awareness of its own size and strength, it becomes destructive — not by intention alone, but by careless movement. Wherever it walks, fields are crushed, homes are destroyed, and smaller beings are left with no space to survive. This is not protection; this is chaos disguised as authority.



Power Without Wisdom



Modern global power no longer relies solely on armies. It has evolved into a system where economic pressure, financial control, diplomatic isolation, and narrative warfare replace tanks and troops. Sanctions are imposed in the name of peace, economies are strangled in the name of democracy, and sovereign decisions are punished in the name of “rules-based order.”


This is the behavior of a mad elephant — not because it lacks strength, but because it lacks restraint.



Wars of Different Forms



Where resistance is strong, military wars are launched.

Where resistance is costly, economic wars are waged.

Where resistance is subtle, diplomatic and media wars are deployed.


The objective remains the same: limit the real freedom of independent nations. Flags may remain, elections may continue, but decision-making is quietly transferred elsewhere.



Allies or Dependents?



The most dangerous victims are not enemies — they are allies. Countries that appear independent but cannot act independently. Their trade policies, foreign relations, and even moral positions must align with the elephant’s direction. This is not partnership; it is soft subjugation.


History teaches us that empires rarely collapse because of external enemies. They collapse because of overreach, arrogance, and the illusion that power is permanent.



The World Is Changing



The world is no longer unipolar. New centers of power are emerging. Middle powers are questioning old dependencies. Nations are seeking balance instead of obedience. This is not rebellion; it is survival.


A mad elephant may continue marching for a while, but every step creates resistance. Every crushed land plants the seed of opposition. And eventually, even the largest creature must face the reality that the world is not empty — it is shared.



Final Thought



True leadership is not measured by how much ground you can crush, but by how much space you allow others to breathe.


Power without justice is not order.

Strength without wisdom is not security.

And dominance without morality is not leadership — it is destruction.A

Pakistan’s Dynamic Diplomatic Rise; From Regional Player to Global Power Broker In the contemporary geopolitical arena, Pakistan has emerged as a dynamic and decisive force, successfully navigating the complexities of South Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.

A Turning Point: From India-Pakistan Conflict to Broader Influence Pakistan’s diplomatic momentum began with its deft handling of the long-standing India-Pakistan conflict. While tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors have persisted for decades, Islamabad’s recent diplomatic strategies have significantly isolated New Delhi at international forums.

In an age of unprecedented technological growth and rising global challenges, the world stands at a crossroads.

Unveiling the Truth: The Age of Hazrat Aisha (RA) at Marriage – A Historical Perspective.

Unveiling the Truth: The Age of Hazrat Aisha (RA) at Marriage – A Historical Perspective Introduction One of the most widely debated and misunderstood aspects of Islamic history is the age of Hazrat Aisha (RA) at the time of her marriage to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Traditional narrations, primarily attributed to Sahih Bukhari, state that she was six years old at the time of marriage and nine at the time of consummation. However, deeper historical analysis and corroboration with other authentic records suggest a different reality. This article aims to clarify the matter, not to dismiss the hadith literature, but to harmonize historical facts and defend the dignity of the Prophet ﷺ and Hazrat Aisha (RA) against unfounded accusations. The Traditional Narrative The most cited hadith comes from Sahih Bukhari (Volume 7, Book 62, Hadith 64): “Narrated Aisha: The Prophet married me when I was six years old, and consummated the marriage when I was nine years old.” However, ha...
