Punjab has always been land of great saints and fighters. In 450 B.C (2450 years ago) Alexander invaded Punjab and conquered a great Punjabi king named Porus whose kingdom was on the banks of river Chenab.

Peshawar sinks in gloom - TALIBAN SHAMELESS TERROR ATTACK ON PAKISTAN

PESHAWAR: December 16, which is the blackest day for the country due to its dismemberment in 1971, has added another black chapter to the national history. Now, the day will be remembered for the gloom and destruction descended on the provincial capital.   There was no letup in the wailing of ambulance sirens. Dozens of ambulances, both of government as well as non-governmental organisations, seemed to be running short for ferrying bodies of students and teachers of the Army Public School and College, who fell prey to the devastating act of terrorism on Tuesday.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry led a roll call of leaders, including U.N.

U.S. President Barack Obama visits India later this month. Eight months into Modi's rule, his failure to lift the economy from its longest growth slowdown in a generation has raised questions about how much substance there is behind his promise of "red carpet, not red tape". "We're trying to complete the circle of economic reforms speedily," Modi told the event that he founded when he was chief minister of the industrial state. "We are also keen to see that our policies are predictable. We're clea...
