The “Eastern Monarch” ablaze in Spithead, 3rd June 1859, by Arthur Wellington Fowles (1815-1883)

Built at Dundee in 1856, the full-rigged “Eastern Monarch”, 1,844 tons, was owned by Somes Brothers of London and traded regularly between Dundee and India. Early in 1859, as she was loading cargo at Karachi, she was chartered by the Indian government to bring home a large contingent of sick and wounded troops in the aftermath of the Indian Mutiny, some of whom were accompanied by their wives and children. After a cramped but otherwise uneventful voyage, “Eastern Monarch” arrived at Spithead in the early hours of 3rd June [1859] with almost 500 people aboard including 352 invalid soldiers, 30 women and 53 children. At 2.30am., about an hour after the vessel had dropped anchor, a loud explosion was heard closely followed by billowing smoke and flame. With the ship’s ports all open for ventilation, the initial fire spread rapidly; despite the valiant efforts of the officers and crew however, the blaze could not be brought under control and the ship was soon ablaze from stem to stern.

Thanks to perfect discipline amongst the troops, there was no panic and those aboard were ferried ashore by two sailing barges, “Providence “ and “Petrel”, which came alongside, as did boats from H.M. ships “Falcon” and “Flying Fish”, both anchored nearby. The prompt actions of the rescue craft saved all but eight persons but the ship herself was totally destroyed, it was believed, by the spontaneous combustion of a quantity of saltpetre amongst her cargo.

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Dozens of members from Pakistan's civil society rallied on Tuesday in the southern port city of Karachi against the death sentence handed down to a Christian man on blasphemy charges, nearly a year after one of the worst mob attacks on Christians in the country.

Several Christians also joined the rally which comes a day after a court in Sahiwal in the Punjab province announced the death sentence to Ehsan Shan after finding him guilty of sharing “hateful content" against Muslims on social media.

Shan's lawyer Khurram Shahzad said on Monday he will appeal the verdict.

He was arrested in August 2023 after groups of Muslim men burned dozens of homes and churches in the city of Jaranwala in Punjab after some residents claimed they saw two Christian men desecrating pages from Islam’s holy book, the Quran. The two men were later arrested.

Though Shan was not party to the desecration, he was accused of reposting the defaced pages of the Quran on his TikTok account.

At Tuesday's rally in Karachi, a Christian leader Luke Victor, called for Shah's release.

He also demanded action against those who were involved in burning churches and homes of Christians in Jaranwala.

Blasphemy accusations are common in Pakistan. Under the country’s blasphemy laws, anyone found guilty of insulting Islam or Islamic religious figures can be sentenced to death. While authorities have yet to carry out a death sentence for blasphemy, often a mere accusation can cause riots and incite mobs to violence, lynching and killings.

In early 2022, when Daniyal Ahmed set off on a road trip from Karachi in Pakistan into the neighbouring province of Balochistan , his only contacts were a few distant connections who he hoped would lead him to a legendary musician within the region. After circling villages near Pasni, a fishing port on the Arabian sea about a six-hour drive from Karachi, Ahmed by chance spotted Ustad Noor Bakhsh on the side of a lonely road sitting next to his broken motorbike, waiting for help.

Ahmed is an anthropologist who teaches at Habib University, and had been chasing down masters like Bakhsh in remote regions across Pakistan. Bakhsh was already well known within Balochistan both as a solo benju (a type of zither) player and as Balochi vocalist Sabzal Sami’s accompanist for three decades. Ahmed was alerted to Bakhsh’s talents after he saw a video of him playing circulating on Facebook. A musician himself, he’s invested in amplifying regional talent that has become obscured in a country lacking robust infrastructure to support musicians, especially those who play traditional music.

When Ahmed told Bakhsh about his work, he was invited to stay, and over five days recorded an album’s worth of music by Bakhsh. In clips of sunset jams near the Shadi Kaur creek, Bakhsh sits cross-legged with his electric benju – his right hand expertly plucking strings on the base, his left moving rapidly up and down the keys on the neck – playing everything from Balochi compositions to Bollywood favourites, flanked by two damburag players, each holding a long-necked lute and keeping the beat.

Ahmed wasn’t just blown away by Bakhsh’s technique, but his ability to improvise, and play across forms. “The playing is virtuosic – it’s totally full of this spiritual energy,” says Ahmed, who has since become his manager. That first meeting changed both of their lives within a year. Ahmed’s Instagram stories of Bakhsh playing went viral, leading to press in Pakistan and India, an invitation to perform at Boiler Room’s debut broadcast in Karachi last June and then release an album, Jingul, in September, which received acclaim from Pitchfork. This summer, at the age of 78, he embarked on a 10-country European tour, including the huge Roskilde festival in Denmark.

Soviets doing soviet things

The Soviet Union has begun invading Pakistan, placing a blockade on the Karachi port, attempting to block aid. This comes as nearly 250k Soviet soldiers cross the soviet-pakistani border through Afghanistan. Casualties are high, as the terrain makes progress slow. China, who has been silent up to this point of the crisis, have stepped up to provide aid to Pakistan, preparing to mobilize the PLA in defense of the country. The Soviet Union also faces internal challenges. Having relied on the west for grain imports for the past decade, the invasion has caused widespread embargoes, limiting food supply on the Soviet mainland. Already living with limited supplies, Soviet civilians are beginning to feel the resurgence of great starvations akin to those under Stalin. Furthermore, already drained from their 2 year war with Afghanistan, the Soviet Union continues to struggle economy, as reliance on oil exports and the instability of the oil market has lead to an unstable economy. This comes as Saudi Arabia announces that they will freeze all Soviet assets and decrease oil prices, further harming Russian exports. They now emerge as a major oil manufacturer amid global rejection of Iraq

The Role of Ready Mix Concrete in Shaping Pakistan's Urban Landscape

In the modern era, Pakistan’s urban landscape is undergoing a rapid transformation. Cities are expanding, infrastructure projects are booming, and the demand for high-quality construction materials has reached unprecedented levels. Among these materials, Ready Mix Concrete in Pakistan has emerged as a cornerstone of development, revolutionizing construction practices and ensuring efficiency, durability, and sustainability.

Understanding Ready Mix Concrete

Ready mix concrete (RMC) is a pre-mixed combination of cement, aggregates, water, and additives. It is manufactured in a controlled environment, ensuring consistency and quality. Delivered directly to construction sites in specialized transit mixers, RMC eliminates the need for on-site mixing, reducing labor and time requirements.

In Pakistan, the adoption of ready mix concrete has surged in recent years due to its numerous advantages over traditional concrete mixing methods.

Benefits of Ready Mix Concrete in Pakistan

Enhanced Quality and Consistency Ready mix concrete is produced in state-of-the-art batching plants, ensuring precise proportions and uniformity. This consistency minimizes structural issues and enhances the durability of buildings and infrastructure.

Time Efficiency With the growing pace of urbanization, time is a critical factor in construction projects. Ready mix concrete significantly reduces project timelines by streamlining the concrete preparation process.

Cost-Effectiveness While the initial cost of ready mix concrete may appear higher, its efficiency and reduction in wastage make it a cost-effective solution in the long run. Builders in Pakistan increasingly recognize its value in large-scale projects.

Environmentally Friendly By reducing material wastage and minimizing emissions from on-site mixing, RMC contributes to sustainable construction practices. In a country like Pakistan, where environmental concerns are growing, this is a significant advantage.

Adaptability to Complex Designs Modern urban architecture often involves intricate designs and structural requirements. Ready mix concrete offers flexibility in formulation, catering to diverse construction needs.

Applications of Ready Mix Concrete in Pakistan

The versatility of ready mix concrete makes it indispensable across various sectors:

Residential Projects From high-rise apartments to gated communities, RMC ensures safe and durable housing solutions. Its quick-setting properties also expedite the construction process.

Commercial Buildings Urban centers like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad are witnessing a surge in commercial development. Ready mix concrete plays a pivotal role in constructing malls, office buildings, and hotels.

Infrastructure Projects Roads, bridges, airports, and dams rely heavily on ready mix concrete for their construction. Its durability and strength are ideal for withstanding heavy loads and harsh environmental conditions.

Industrial Facilities Factories and warehouses require robust construction materials. RMC meets these demands with its high compressive strength and long-lasting performance.

Impact on Pakistan’s Urbanization

Accelerating Urban Development The use of ready mix concrete has enabled faster completion of projects, facilitating the expansion of cities and improving the quality of urban infrastructure.

Supporting Mega Projects High-profile projects like the Orange Line Metro Train in Lahore and the development of Gwadar Port rely on high-quality construction materials. RMC ensures these projects meet international standards.

Job Creation and Economic Growth The ready mix concrete industry in Pakistan supports numerous jobs, from plant operators to delivery personnel, bolstering the country’s economy.

Challenges and Future Prospects

Despite its many benefits, the adoption of ready mix concrete in Pakistan faces certain challenges:

Lack of Awareness Many builders and contractors still rely on traditional methods, unaware of the advantages of ready mix concrete.

High Initial Costs The perception of higher costs deters smaller projects from utilizing RMC, despite its long-term savings.

Logistical Issues Transporting ready mix concrete over long distances can be challenging, particularly in remote areas.

Future Outlook
