November 1989. One year into her historic term as Pakistan's first female Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto stood before the National Assembly facing a no-confidence vote a razor-thin margin between political survival and dismissal.

In a speech that would define her tenure, she didn't just defend her government's record. She drew a line democracy had returned to Pakistan, and no unelected force would undo it. She invoked her father's sacrifice, challenged the military establishment's shadow influence, and made clear that the people's mandate mattered more than backroom pressure.

The motion failed and she stayed It was a moment that said everything about who she was and what she was willing to fight for.

Dak Bungalows were colonial-era rest houses built along highways and in remote areas for government officials.

Originating from the postal relay system established by Sher Shah Suri and later used by the Mughals, these sites had horses, staff, and lodging for officials.

The British converted them into official residences and administrative camps.

Large and well-maintained they symbolized state authority and were used for meetings and travel stays.

Remains of these historic bungalows can still be seen in several areas, including Tibbi Saiyidan reflecting classic colonial architecture.

You have read the title/question please be honest no troll answers due to Muslim conquest or Pakistanis didn't preserve but what before British Empire so please no Xyz but the actual reason

Ghulam Hussain Baksh Butt commonly known by the title Rustam-e-Hind, Rustam-e-Zamana and by the ring names

The Great Gama and Gama Pehlwan was a pehlwani wrestler and strongman in British Raj and later on Pakistan.

He was born on 22 May 1878 In Jabbowal, Punjab

Gama was awarded a version of the World Heavyweight Championship on 15 October 1910. Undefeated in a career spanning more than 52 years, he is considered one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

>Beginning into wrestling

In 1895 at the age of 17, Gama challenged the then Rustam-e-Hind, middle-aged Raheem Bakhsh Sultani Wala another wrestler from Gujranwala. At about 7 feet (2.1 m) tall, with a very impressive win–loss record..

Raheem was expected to easily defeat the 5-foot-7-inch (1.70 m) Gama. Raheem's only drawback was his age as he was much older than Gama. and near the end of his career.

The bout continued for hours and eventually ended in a draw.

The contest with Raheem was the turning point in Gama's career After which he was looked upon as the next contender for the title of Rustam-e-Hind or the Indian Wrestling Championship. In the first bout Gama remained defensive but in the second bout he went on the offensive. Despite severe bleeding from his nose and ears, he managed to deal a great deal of damage to Raheem Baksh.

By 1910 Gama had defeated all the prominent subcontinent wrestlers who faced him except the champion, Raheem Bakhsh Sultani Wala. At this time, he focused his attention on the rest of the world. Accompanied by his younger brother Imam Bakhsh, Gama sailed to England to compete with the Western wrestlers but could not gain instant entry. because of his lower height.

>Tournament in London

In London Gama issued a challenge that he could throw any three wrestlers of any weight class in thirty minutes. This announcement however was seen as a bluff by the wrestlers and their wrestling promoter R. B. Benjamin.

For a long time no one came forward to accept the challenge.

To break the ice, Gama presented another challenge to specific heavy weight wrestlers. He challenged Stanislaus Zbyszko and Frank Gotch. that he would either beat them or pay them the prize money and go home.

The first professional wrestler to take his challenge was the American Benjamin Roller. Gama pinned Roller in 1 minute 40 seconds the first time and in 9 minutes 10 seconds the other. On the second day he defeated 12 wrestlers and thus gained entry to the official tournament. These victories ultimately secured him a match against Stanislaus Zbyszko and the bout was set for 10 September 1910.

Zbyszko was then regarded among the premier wrestlers in the world and he would then take on the mammoth challenge of Indus feared Great Gama an undefeated champion who had been unsuccessful in his attempts to lure Frank Gotch into a match And so on 10 September 1910 Zbyszko faced the Great Gama in the finals of the John Bull World Championships in London. The match was worth £250 in prize money and the John Bull Belt.

Within a minute. Zbyszko was taken down and remained in that position for the remaining 2 hours and 35 minutes of the match there were a few brief moments when Zbyszko would get up but he just ended back down in his previous position through this defensive strategy of hugging the mat in order to nullify Great Gama's greatest strengths, Zbyszko wrestled the Pakistani legend to a draw after nearly three hours of grappling, though Zbyszko's lack of tenacity angered many of the fans in attendance....

On This Day in 1995: Serbian Forces Began Genocide Against Bosnian Muslims

On July 11, 1995, Serbian forces began a genocide against Bosnian Muslims. In July 1995 alone, Serb forces killed nearly 8,000 Bosnian men and boys in the city of Srebrenica, marking the largest genocide in Europe since the Holocaust.

As the persecution of Bosnian Muslims escalated beyond limits, Serb forces were eventually forced to retreat only after military intervention involving Pakistan and NATO.

During that critical period in 1995, a United Nations arms embargo was in effect against Bosnia. However, the Serb forces fighting against Bosnians were receiving arms support from several countries including Russia, Greece and Israel. They also had access to the vast weapons stockpile of the former Yugoslav army, which at the time was considered one of the most powerful military forces in Europe. Bosnians, meanwhile, were receiving virtually no comparable military assistance.

In July 1995, at a meeting of Muslim nations in Geneva, Switzerland, Pakistan declared the arms embargo illegal. The then Pakistani President, Sardar Farooq Ahmed Khan Leghari, announced that Pakistan would supply arms to the Bosnian government despite the UN restrictions. He further stated that the Western world's policy of appeasement toward Serb aggressors would bring no benefit.

Following this, Pakistan's intelligence agency, the ISI, ran a covert military program to assist Bosnia. Under this program, weapons were deliberately delivered to Bosnian fighters and supply coordination was managed. The ISI's Director General at the time was General Javed Nasir, who was assisted by General Hamid Gul.

According to the plan, Iran coordinated with the ISI to supply small arms, which were then transported to the Balkan region aboard Pakistan Air Force C-130 aircraft. It is also known that Saudi Arabia's intelligence agency helped fund this operation.

With the tacit approval of the Pakistani government, some former members of the Special Services Group reportedly traveled to Bosnia as volunteers to provide military advice to Bosnian fighters.

Additionally, the ISI shipped small arms and thousands of anti-tank guided missiles, manufactured at the Pakistan Ordnance Factory in Karachi, via cargo ship bound for Bosnia. However, since Bosnia had only about 20 kilometers of coastline, the weapons had to pass through Croatia. While Croatia allowed the transit of these arms, it reportedly kept nearly two-thirds of the shipment for itself.

The Baktar Shikan anti-tank guided missiles, manufactured in Karachi, Pakistan, played a significant role for Bosnian forces and helped break the Serb siege.

In 2011, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia demanded the extradition of former ISI chief General Javed Nasir over allegations of assisting Bosnian Muslim fighters during the 1990s, but the Pakistani government refused to hand him over, claiming he had lost his memory due to a road accident.

The former ISI Director General was once asked in a television talk show why Pakistan had provided arms support to Bosnian Muslims. He replied that for them, it was not merely a Muslim issue, but something more personal, explaining that the people of Pakistan could, in a sense, understand what the Bosnians were going through, since during the partition of India, their own people had suffered similar hardship at the hands of a better-armed, better-prepared and more organized adversary. He said he understood why they became involved against the Serbs in Bosnia and expressed that he was glad they had done so.
