The Fallout From Pakistan’s Nuclear Tests
May 28 is officially a “Day of Greatness” for Pakistan, but for many Balochs it’s a black day.

On May 28 each year, Pakistan proudly celebrates “Youm-e-Takbir,” which translates as the “Day of Greatness,” to commemorate the country’s first successful detonation of nuclear devices.
