Some stories make headlines. Others are never given the chance to be told. At DD London, we believe every conversation begins with listening. In one city, people from different homelands, different histories, and different lived experiences come together, not to speak over one another, but to understand one another. This is a platform for voices that deserve to be heard, stories that deserve their time, and conversations that go beyond the headlines. DD London. Every Voice. Every Story. One Conversation at a Time. Muzzammil Ayyub Thakur

PIMS was not just a tragedy, it was a failure of governance. As Dr. Farrukh Saleem highlights, the deeper issue is how distant decision-making, fragmented responsibility, and weak accountability allow systemic failures to persist. Pakistan needs empowered local governments, accessible administration, and clear accountability, because local problems need local power. farrukh saleem

Before the sun rose that morning, the phones went dead. Eight million people were sealed off from the world, and it wasn't a natural disaster. It was a decision. On August 5, 2019, Article 370 was revoked, and with it, a seven-decade-old constitutional arrangement governing Jammu and Kashmir. This is the story of what happened that morning, what followed in the silence, and why the events of that day continue to shape the region. Muzammil Ayub Thakur, shares his perspective on the developments that followed and their implications for Kashmir.From the abrogation of Article 370 to the new domicile laws, from communication blackouts to the political detentions that followed, he examine the political, legal, and humanitarian consequences of these changes & what they mean for regional stability and for the two nuclear-armed neighbours whose futures remain deeply intertwined with the Kashmir dispute.

Israel called it "crazy love." Modi called it "motherland." Neither one will admit what it actually means. While the world turned its back on Israel, India walked in, a hug on the tarmac, a standing ovation in the Knesset, and a line most people missed: Modi calling Israel the "fatherland" and India the "motherland" of a shared civilizational project. But 800+ tonnes of military-grade steel, a submarine attack off Sri Lanka, and a "hexagon" alliance Netanyahu himself named tell a different story than the photo-ops. And facing it? Pakistan. Saudi Arabia. Turkey. The only bloc heavy enough to answer it. India isn't picking a side. It's betting it doesn't have to. Muzzammil Ayyub Thakur

Pakistan’s Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), launched in 2008 to support vulnerable households, highlights major governance and targeting challenges over time. FIA and NADRA findings revealed large-scale inclusion errors, with over 820,000 ineligible beneficiaries removed in 2020, including government employees, tax filers, and high-income individuals. The 2024 audit further identified irregularities worth around 141 billion rupees, including weak CNIC verification and payments made to non-deserving or deceased individuals. These issues reflect broader governance and accountability failures rather than isolated corruption cases. There is a need for stronger digital verification, transparent audits, and strict accountability mechanisms, along with a shift from cash-based assistance to long-term poverty reduction through skills, employment, and asset-building initiatives. farrukh saleem
