Khan was born to a Pashtun family in Lahore in 1952 and educated at Aitchison, Worcester and later at the Keble College, Oxford. Khan started playing cricket at the age of 13. Initially playing for his college and later for the Worcestershire Cricket Club, he made his debut for Pakistan at the age of 18 during the 1971 English series at Birmingham, after graduating from Oxford, Khan joined Pakistan's national cricket team in 1976, and played until 1992. Khan also served as the team's captain intermittently throughout 1982–1992.[6] He, notably, led Pakistan to victory at the 1992 Cricket World Cup, Pakistan's first and only victory in that competition.[7]
Khan retired from cricket in 1992 as one of Pakistan's most successful players; in total he made 3,807 runs and took 362 wickets in Test cricket, and is one of eight world cricketers to have achieved an 'All-rounder's Triple' in Test matches.[8] He was later, in 2010, inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame; in 1991, he launched a fundraising campaign to set up a cancer hospital in memory of his mother. He raised $25 million to set up the first hospital in Lahore in 1994, and later in 2015 a second hospital in Peshawar.[9] Khan remains a prominent philanthropist and commenter, and served as the chancellor of Bradford University between 2005 and 2014 and was the recipient of an honorary fellowship by the Royal College of Physicians in 2012.[10][11]

Family and early life
Khan was born in Lahore on 5 October 1952,[1] some reports suggest he was born 25 November 1952.[17][18][19][20] It was reported that 25th November was wrongly mentioned by Pakistan Cricket Board officials on his passport,[1] the only son of Ikramullah Khan Niazi, a civil engineer, and his wife Shaukat Khanum.[21] Long settled in Mianwali in northwestern Punjab, his paternal family are of Pashtun ethnicity and belong to the Niazi tribe.[22][23] Khan's mother hailed from the Pashtun tribe of Burki, which had produced several successful cricketers in Pakistan's history,[21] including his cousins Javed Burki and Majid Khan.[22] Maternally, Khan is also a descendant of the Sufi warrior-poet and inventor of the Pashto alphabet, Pir Roshan, who hailed from his maternal family's ancestral Kaniguram town located in South Waziristan in the tribal areas of northwest Pakistan.[24]
A quiet and shy boy in his youth, Khan grew up with his four sisters in relatively affluent (upper middle-class) circumstances[25] and received a privileged education, he was educated at Aitchison College in Lahore and the Royal Grammar School Worcester in England, where he excelled at cricket. In 1972 he enrolled in Keble College, Oxford where he studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics, graduating with honours in 1975.[26] On 16 May 1995, Khan married Jemima Goldsmith, in a two-minute ceremony conducted in Urdu in Paris. A month later, on 21 June, they were married again in a civil ceremony at the Richmond registry office in England. Jemima converted to Islam, the couple have two sons, Sulaiman Isa and Kasim.[27]
Rumours circulated that the couple's marriage was in crisis. Jemima denied the rumours by publishing an advertisement in Pakistani newspapers,[28] on 22 June 2004, it was announced that the couple had divorced, ending the nine-year marriage because it was "difficult for Jemima to adapt to life in Pakistan".[29][30] Khan resides in his sprawling farmhouse at Bani Gala;[31] in November 2009, Khan underwent emergency surgery at Lahore's Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital to remove an obstruction in his small intestine.[32] In January 2015 Khan married British-Pakistani journalist Reham Khan in a private Nikah ceremony at his residence in Islamabad.[33][34][35][36] On 22 October 2015 they announced their intention to file for divorce.[37]
Cricket career
Khan made a lackluster first-class cricket debut at the age of sixteen in Lahore. By the start of the 1970s, he was playing for his home teams of Lahore A (1969–70), Lahore B (1969–70), Lahore Greens (1970–71) and, eventually, Lahore (1970–71).[38] Khan was part of University of Oxford's Blues Cricket team during the 1973–1975 seasons,[26] at Worcestershire, where he played county cricket from 1971 to 1976, he was regarded as only an average medium-pace bowler. During this decade, other teams represented by Khan included Dawood Industries (1975–1976) and Pakistan International Airlines (1975–1976 to 1980–1981), from 1983 to 1988, he played for Sussex.[8]
Khan made his Test cricket debut against England in 1971 Edgbaston. Three years later, he debuted in the One Day International (ODI) match, once again playing against England at Trent Bridge for the Prudential Trophy, after graduating from Oxford and finishing his tenure at Worcestershire, he returned to Pakistan in 1976 and secured a permanent place on his native national team starting from the 1976–1977 season, during which they faced New Zealand and Australia.[38] Following the Australian series, he toured the West Indies, where he met Tony Greig, who signed him up for Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket.[8] His credentials as one of the fastest bowlers of the world started to become established when he finished third at 139.7 km/h in a fast bowling contest at Perth in 1978, behind Jeff Thomson and Michael Holding, but ahead of Dennis Lillee, Garth Le Roux and Andy Roberts.[39]
As a fast bowler, Khan reached the peak of his powers in 1982; in 9 Tests, he got 62 wickets at 13.29 each, the lowest average of any bowler in Test history with at least 50 wickets in a calendar year.[40] In January 1983, playing against India, he attained a Test bowling rating of 922 points, although calculated retrospectively (ICC player ratings did not exist at the time), Khan's form and performance during this period ranks third in the ICC's All-Time Test Bowling Rankings.[41]
Khan achieved the all-rounder's triple (securing 3000 runs and 300 wickets) in 75 Tests, the second fastest record behind Ian Botham's 72, he is also established as having the second highest all-time batting average of 61.86 for a Test batsman playing at position 6 of the batting order.[42] He played his last Test match for Pakistan in January 1992, against Sri Lanka at Faisalabad. Khan retired permanently from cricket six months after his last ODI, the historic 1992 World Cup final against England in Melbourne, Australia,[43] he ended his career with 88 Test matches, 126 innings and scored 3807 runs at an average of 37.69, including six centuries and 18 fifties. His highest score was 136 runs, as a bowler, he took 362 wickets in Test cricket, which made him the first Pakistani and world's fourth bowler to do so.[8] In ODIs, he played 175 matches and scored 3709 runs at an average of 33.41. His highest score remains 102 not out, his best ODI bowling is documented at 6 wickets for 14 runs.He holds the record for the best bowling figures by any bowler in an ODI innings in a losing cause(6–14).[44]
At the height of his career, in 1982, the thirty-year-old Khan took over the captaincy of the Pakistan cricket team from Javed Miandad,[45] as a captain, Khan played 48 Test matches, out of which 14 were won by Pakistan, 8 lost and the rest of 26 were drawn. He also played 139 ODIs, winning 77, losing 57 and ending one in a tie.[8]
In the team's second match, Khan led them to their first Test win on English soil for 28 years at Lord's.[46] Khan's first year as captain was the peak of his legacy as a fast bowler as well as an all-rounder, he recorded the best Test bowling of his career while taking 8 wickets for 58 runs against Sri Lanka at Lahore in 1981–1982.[8] He also topped both the bowling and batting averages against England in three Test series in 1982, taking 21 wickets and averaging 56 with the bat. Later the same year, he put up a highly acknowledged performance in a home series against the formidable Indian team by taking 40 wickets in six Tests at an average of 13.95. By the end of this series in 1982–1983, Khan had taken 88 wickets in 13 Test matches over a period of one year as captain,[38] this same Test series against India, however, also resulted in a stress fracture in his shin that kept him out of cricket for more than two years. An experimental treatment funded by the Pakistani government helped him recover by the end of 1984 and he made a successful comeback to international cricket in the latter part of the 1984–1985 season.[8]
In India in 1987, Khan led Pakistan in its first-ever Test series win and this was followed by Pakistan's first series victory in England during the same year,[46] during the 1980s, his team also recorded three creditable draws against the West Indies. India and Pakistan co-hosted the 1987 World Cup, but neither ventured beyond the semi-finals. Khan retired from international cricket at the end of the World Cup; in 1988, he was asked to return to the captaincy by the president of Pakistan, General Zia-Ul-Haq, and on 18 January, he announced his decision to rejoin the team.[8] Soon after returning to the captaincy, Khan led Pakistan to another winning tour in the West Indies, which he has recounted as "the last time I really bowled well",[22] he was declared Man of the Series against West Indies in 1988 when he took 23 wickets in 3 Tests.[8] Khan's career-high as a captain and cricketer came when he led Pakistan to victory in the 1992 Cricket World Cup. Playing with a brittle batting line-up, Khan promoted himself as a batsman to play in the top order along with Javed Miandad, but his contribution as a bowler was minimal, at the age of 39, Khan took the winning last wicket himself.[38]
In 1994, Khan had admitted that, during Test matches, he "occasionally scratched the side of the ball and lifted the seam." He had also added, "Only once did I use an object. When Sussex were playing Hampshire in 1981 the ball was not deviating at all. I got the 12th man to bring out a bottle top and it started to move around a lot."[47] In 1996, Khan successfully defended himself in a libel action brought forth by former English captain and all-rounder Ian Botham and batsman Allan Lamb over comments they alleged were made by Khan in two articles about the above-mentioned ball-tampering and another article published in an Indian magazine, India Today. They claimed that, in the latter publication, Khan had called the two cricketers "racist, ill-educated and lacking in class." Khan protested that he had been misquoted, saying that he was defending himself after having admitted that he tampered with a ball in a county match 18 years ago.[48] Khan won the libel case, which the judge labelled a "complete exercise in futility", with a 10–2 majority decision by the jury.[48]
Since retiring, Khan has written opinion pieces on cricket for various British and Asian newspapers, especially regarding the Pakistani national team, his contributions have been published in India's Outlook magazine,[49] the Guardian,[50] the Independent, and the Telegraph. Khan also sometimes appears as a cricket commentator on Asian and British sports networks, including BBC Urdu[51] and the Star TV network;[52] in 2004, when the Indian cricket team toured Pakistan after 14 years, he was a commentator on TEN Sports' special live show, Straight Drive,[53] while he was also a columnist for sify.com for the 2005 India-Pakistan Test series. He has provided analysis for every cricket World Cup since 1992, which includes providing match summaries for the BBC during the 1999 World Cup,[54] he holds as a captain the world record for taking most wickets, best bowling strike rate and best bowling average in Test,[55][56] and best bowling figures (8 wickets for 60 runs) in a Test innings,[57] and also most five-wicket hauls (6) in a Test innings in wins.[58]
On 23 November 2005, Imran Khan was appointed as the chancellor of University of Bradford, succeeding Baroness Lockwood,[59] on February 26, 2014, University of Bradford Union floated a motion to remove Khan from the post over Khan's absence from every graduation ceremony since 2010.[60][61] Khan, however, announced that he will step down on November 30, 2014 citing his "increasing political commitments",[62] the university vice-chancellor Brian Cantor said Khan had been "a wonderful role model for our students".[63][64]
During the 1990s, Khan also served as UNICEF's Special Representative for Sports[65] and promoted health and immunisation programmes in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand.[66] While in London, he also works with the Lord's Taverners, a cricket charity.[9] Khan focused his efforts solely on social work. By 1991, he had founded the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust, a charity organisation bearing the name of his mother, Mrs. Shaukat Khanum, as the Trust's maiden endeavour, Khan established Pakistan's first and only cancer hospital, constructed using donations and funds exceeding $25 million, raised by Khan from all over the world.[9][67]
On 27 April 2008, Khan established a technical college in the Mianwali District called Namal College, it was built by the Mianwali Development Trust (MDT), and is an associate college of the University of Bradford in December 2005.[68][69] Imran Khan Foundation is another welfare work, which aims to assist needy people all over Pakistan, it has provided help to flood victims in Pakistan. Buksh Foundation has partnered with the Imran Khan Foundation to light up villages in Dera Ghazi Khan, Mianwali and Dera Ismail Khan under the project 'Lighting a Million Lives'. The campaign will establish several Solar Charging Stations in the selected off-grid villages and will provide villagers with solar lanterns, which can be regularly charged at the solar-charging stations.[70][71]
Initial era (1996–2013)
In 1996, Khan founded a political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).[22][72][73] Khan supported General Pervez Musharraf's military coup in 1999,[74] believing Musharraf would "end corruption, clear out the political mafias".[75] According to Khan, he was Musharraf's choice for prime minister in 2002 but turned down the offer,[76] the 2002 Pakistani general election in October across 272 constituencies, Khan anticipated in the elections and was prepared to form a coalition if his party did not get a majority of the vote.[77] He was elected from Mianwali,[78] he has also served as a part of the Standing Committees on Kashmir and Public Accounts.[79] On 6 May 2005, Khan was mentioned in The New Yorker as being the "most directly responsible" for drawing attention in the Muslim world to the Newsweek story about the alleged desecration of the Qur'an in a US military prison at the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba.[80] In June 2007, Khan faced political opponents in and outside the parliament.[81]
On 2 October 2007, as part of the All Parties Democratic Movement, Khan joined 85 other MPs to resign from Parliament in protest of the presidential election scheduled for 6 October, which general Musharraf was contesting without resigning as army chief.[13] On 3 November 2007, Khan was put under house arrest, after president Musharraf declared a state of emergency in Pakistan. Later Khan escaped and went into hiding,[82] he eventually came out of hiding on 14 November to join a student protest at the University of the Punjab.[83] At the rally, Khan was captured by activists from the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami and roughly treated.[84]
On 30 October 2011, Khan addressed more than 100,000 supporters in Lahore, challenging the policies of the government, calling that new change a "tsunami" against the ruling parties,[85] Another successful public gathering of hundreds of thousands of supporters was held in Karachi on 25 December 2011,[86] since then Khan has become a real threat to the ruling parties and a future political prospect in Pakistan. According to the International Republican Institute's (IRI's) survey, Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) tops the list of popular parties in Pakistan both at the national and provincial level.[87][88]
On 6 October 2012, Khan joined a vehicle caravan of protesters from Islamabad to the village of Kotai in Pakistan's South Waziristan region against US drone missile strikes,[89][90] on 23 March 2013, Khan introduced the "Naya Pakistan Resolution" (New Pakistan) at the start of his election campaign.[91][92][93][94] On 29 April The Observer termed Khan and his party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf as the main opposition to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz,[95] on 30 April 2013, Manzoor Wattoo president of Pakistan Peoples Party (Punjab) offered Khan the office of prime minister in the possible coalition government which would include the PPP and Khan's PTI, in a move to prevent Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz to make the government, but the offer was rejected.[96] In January 2014, YouGov ranked Khan as a famous person in and out of Pakistan.[97] Between 2011 and 2013, Khan and Nawaz Sharif began to engage each other in a bitter feud, the rivalry between the two leaders grew in late 2011 when Khan addressed his largest crowd at Minar-e-Pakistan in Lahore.[98] From 26 April 2013, in the run up to the elections, both the PML-N and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf started to criticise each other.[99][100][101]
2013 elections campaign
On 21 April 2013, Khan launched his final public relations campaign for the 2013 elections from Lahore where he addressed thousands of supporters at the Mall.[102][103][104] Khan announced that he would pull Pakistan out of the US-led war on terror and bring peace to the Pashtun tribal belt,[105] he addressed different public meetings in Malakand, Lower Dir District, Upper Dir District and other cities of Pakistan where he announced that PTI will introduce a uniform education system in which the children of rich and poor will have equal opportunities.[106][107][108][109][110][111][112][113] Khan ended his south Punjab campaign by addressing rallies at Bahawalpur, Khanpur, Sadiqabad, Rahim Yar Khan and Rajanpur.[114][115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122]
Khan ended the campaign by addressing a rally of supporters in Islamabad via a video link while lying on a bed at a hospital in Lahore.[123] According to the last survey before the elections by The Herald showed 24.98 percent of voters nationally planned to vote for his party, just a whisker behind former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N).[124][125] On 7 May, just four days before the elections, Khan was rushed to Shaukat Khanum hospital in Lahore after he tumbled from a forklift at the edge of a stage and fell headfirst to the ground.[126][127] Pakistan's 2013 elections were held on 11 May 2013 throughout the country, the elections resulted in a clear majority of Pakistan Muslim League.[128][129] Khan's PTI emerged as the second largest party by popular vote nationally, in Karachi[130][131] Khan's party PTI won 30 directly elected parliamentary seats.[132]
In opposition
Khan led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf became the opposition party in Punjab and Sindh. Khan became the parliamentary leader of his party,[133][134] on 31 July 2013 Khan was issued a contempt of court notice for allegedly criticising the superior judiciary,[135] and his use of the word shameful for the judiciary. The notice was discharged after Khan submitted before the Supreme Court that he criticised the lower judiciary for their actions during the May 2013 general election while those judicial officers were working as returning officers.[136] Khan's party swooped the militancy-hit northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and has formed the provincial government.[137][138] PTI-led Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government presented a balanced, tax-free budget for the fiscal year 2013–14.[139]
On 13 November 2013, Imran Khan, being party leader, ordered Pervez Khattak to dismiss ministers of Qaumi Watan Party who were allegedly involved in corruption. Bakht Baidar and Ibrar Hussan Kamoli of Qaumi Watan Party, ministers for Manpower & Industry and Forest & Environment respectively, were dismissed.[140] Khan ordered Chief Minister KPK to end the alliance with Qaumi Watan Party. Chief Minister KPK also dismissed Minister for Communication and Works of PTI "Yousuf Ayub" due to a fake degree.[141]
One year after elections, on 11 May 2014, Khan alleged that 2013 general elections were rigged in favour of the ruling Pakistan Muslim Leaque,[142] on 14 August 2014, Imran Khan led a rally of supporters from Lahore to Islamabad, promising Nawaz Sharif's resignation and investigation into alleged electoral fraud.[143] On its way to the capital Khan's convoy was attacked by stones from Muslim League supporters in Gujranwala; however, there were no fatalities.[144] Khan was reported to be attacked with guns which forced him to travel him in bullet-proof vehicle,[145] on 15 August Khan led protesters entered the capital and a few days later marched into the high-security Red Zone; on 1 September 2014, according to Al Jazeera, attempted to storm Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's official residence, which prompted the outbreak of violence which has resulted in three deaths and more than 595 people injured, including 115 police officers.[146]
By September Khan had entered into a de facto alliance with Canadian-Pakistani cleric Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri; both have aimed to mobilise their supporters for regime change.[147][148] Khan entered into an agreement with Sharif administration to establish a three-member high-powered judicial commission which would be formed under a presidential ordinance, the commission would make its final report public. If the commission finds a country-wide pattern of rigging proved, the prime minister would dissolve the national and provincial assemblies in terms of the articles 58(1) and 112(1) of the Constitution – thereby meaning that the premier would also appoint the caretaker setup in consultation with the leader of opposition and fresh elections would be held.[149]
Basing his wider paradigm on the poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal and the Iranian writer-sociologist Ali Shariati he came across in his youth,[150] Khan is generally described as a populist.[151] Khan's proclaimed political platform and declarations include: Islamic values, to which he rededicated himself in the 1990s; liberal economics, with the promise of deregulating the economy and creating a welfare state; decreased bureaucracy and the implementation of anti-corruption laws, to create and ensure a clean government; the establishment of an independent judiciary; overhaul of the country's police system; and an anti-militant vision for a democratic Pakistan.[152][52][153][154][155] David Rose described Khan as a threat to the Americans and the feudal lords who have ruled Pakistan for decades.[156]
Khan publicly demanded a Pakistani apology towards the Bangladeshi people for the atrocities committed in 1971,[157][158] He called the 1971 operation a "blunder"[159] and likened it to today's treatment of Pashtuns in the war on terror.[158] However, he repeatedly criticized the war crimes trials in Bangladesh in favor of the convicts, perpetuating the culture of genocide denial[160] on the part of Pakistan.[161][162] Khan is often mocked as "Taliban Khan" because of his pacifist stance regarding the war in North-West Pakistan, he believes in negotiations with Taliban and the pull out of the Pakistan Army from Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). He is against US drone strikes and plans to disengage Pakistan from the US-led war on terror. Khan also opposes almost all military operations, including the Siege of Lal Masjid.[163][164][165]
In August 2012, the Pakistani Taliban issued death threats if he went ahead with his march to their tribal stronghold along the Afghan border to protest US drone attacks, because he calls himself a "liberal" – a term they associate with a lack of religious belief,[166] on 1 October 2012, prior to his plan to address a rally in South Waziristan, senior commanders of Pakistani Taliban said after a meeting headed by the Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud that they now offered Khan security assistance for the rally because of Khan's opposition to drone attacks in Pakistan, reversing their previous stance.[167]
Khan spoke against the forced conversion of the Kalash people under threat from Taliban and labelled it un-Islamic.[168] Khan views the Kashmir issue as a humanitarian issue, as opposed to a territorial dispute between two countries (India and Pakistan), he also proposed secret talks to settle the issue as he thinks the vested interests on both sides will try to subvert them. He ruled out a military solution to the conflict and denied the possibility of a fourth war between India and Pakistan over the disputed mountainous region.[169] Khan visited embassies of Iran and Saudi Arabia and met their head of commissions in Islamabad on 8 January 2015 to understand their stance about the conflict which is engulfing both nations after execution of Sheikh Nimr by Saudi Arabia. He urged the Government of Pakistan to play a positive role to resolve the matter between both countries.[170]
Net worth
In 2012, Khan had net worth of ₨22.9 million (US$220,000) which decreased to ₨14 million (US$130,000) in the election year 2013 and then gradually increased to ₨33.3 million (US$320,000) in 2014. In 2015 Khan's assets were valued ₨1.33 billion (US$13 million). As of 2017, his net worth is ₨1.4 billion (US$13 million).[3]
Khan owns a 300 kanal mansion in Bani Gala, Islamabad worth ₨750 million (US$7.1 million). He has a house in Zaman Park, Lahore worth ₨29 million (US$270,000). Khan has also been an investor, investing more than ₨40 million (US$380,000) in various businesses. He owns furniture of ₨0.6 million (US$5,700) and four goats of ₨0.2 million (US$1,900). However he has no vehicle registered in his name.[171]
In July 2017, Federal Board of Revenue Pakistan revealed the tax directory of Pakistani MP's. According to FBR, Khan paid ₨76,200 (US$720) of tax in 2015 and ₨1.59 lakh (US$1,500) in 2016.[172]

After the May 2013 elections, Mohammed Hanif writing for The Guardian termed Khan's support as appealing "to the educated middle classes but Pakistan's main problem is that there aren't enough educated urban middle-class citizens in the country".[173] Pankaj Mishra writing for The New York Times in 2012, charactised Khan as a "cogent picture out of his—and Pakistan's—clashing identities" adding that "his identification with the suffering masses and his attacks on his affluent, English-speaking peers have long been mocked in the living rooms of Lahore and Karachi as the hypocritical ravings of "Im the Dim" and "Taliban Khan"—the two favored monikers for him." Mishra concluded with "like all populist politicians, Khan appears to offer something to everyone. Yet the great differences between his constituencies—socially liberal, upper-middle-class Pakistanis and the deeply conservative residents of Pakistan's tribal areas—seem irreconcilable."[174]
On March 18, 2012, Salman Rushdie critiqued Khan after Khan refused to attend the India Today Conference because of Rushdie's attendance citing the "immeasurable hurt" that Rushdie's writings have caused Muslims around the world. Rushdie, in turn, suggested Khan was a "dictator in waiting."[175] In 2011, While writing for The Washington Post, Richard Leiby termed Khan as an underdog adding that he "often sounds like a pro-democracy liberal but is well-known for his coziness with conservative Islamist parties."[176] Ayesha Siddiqa, in September 2014, writing for The Express Tribune, claimed that "while we can all sympathise with Khan's right to change the political tone, it would be worthwhile for him to envision how he would, if he did become the prime minister of this country, put the genie back into the bottle."[177] H. M. Naqvi termed Khan as a "sort of a Ron Paul figure", adding that "there is no taint of corruption and there is his anti-establishment message."[176]
During the 1970s and 1980s, Khan became known as a socialite and sported a playboy image due to his "non-stop partying" at London nightclubs such as Annabel's and Tramp, though he claims to have hated English pubs and never drank alcohol.[9][22][52][178] He also gained notoriety in London gossip columns for romancing young debutantes such as Susannah Constantine, Lady Liza Campbell and the artist Emma Sergeant.[22] One of these ex-girlfriends, the British heiress Sita White, daughter of Gordon White, Baron White of Hull, became the mother of his alleged lovechild daughter, Tyrian Jade White. A judge in the US ruled him to be the father of Tyrian, but Khan has denied paternity publicly.[179][180] Later in 2007, Election Commission of Pakistan ruled in favour of Khan and dismissed the ex parte judgment of the US court, on grounds that it was neither admissible in evidence before any court or tribunal in Pakistan nor executable against him.[181] About his lifestyle as a bachelor, he has often said that, "I never claim to have led an angelic life."[22]
Declan Walsh in The Guardian newspaper in England in 2005 described Khan as a "miserable politician," observing that, "Khan's ideas and affiliations since entering politics in 1996 have swerved and skidded like a rickshaw in a rainshower... He preaches democracy one day but gives a vote to reactionary mullahs the next."[182] Khan has also been accused by some opponents and critics of hypocrisy and opportunism, including what has been called his life's "playboy to puritan U-turn."[45] Political commentator Najam Sethi, stated that, "A lot of the Imran Khan story is about backtracking on a lot of things he said earlier, which is why this doesn't inspire people."[45] Author Fatima Bhutto has criticised Khan for "incredible coziness not with the military but with dictatorship" as well as some of his political decisions.[183]
In popular culture
In 2010, a Pakistani production house produced a biographical film based on Khan's life, titled Kaptaan: The Making of a Legend. The title, which is Urdu for 'Captain', depicts Khan's captaincy and career with the Pakistan cricket team which led them to victory in the 1992 cricket world cup, as well as events which shaped his life; from being ridiculed in cricket to being labelled a playboy; from the tragic death of his mother to his efforts and endeavours in building the first cancer hospital in Pakistan; from being the first Chancellor of the University of Bradford to the building of Namal University.[184][185]
On 1 August 2017, Ayesha Gulalai came forward with allegations of harassment against Khan and claimed that she had been receiving offensive messages from him since October 2013;[186] in an interview, Khan said that he suspected that the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) had used Gulalai for this allegations of harassment against him.[187] Later that Ayesha Gulalai said that she will forgive Khan if he apologises.[188]

Rector's Welcome
To all our visitors and guests, friends and neighbors, seekers and members – hearty greetings of grace and peace.
A Church of Open Hearts & Minds
St. John's proclaims an abundant welcome of 'gospel hospitality,' warmly inviting all our visitors to join with us in celebrating the radical grace of Christ Jesus.
Holy Week greetings from St. John's!
During these final days of Lent, our community is invited to share in prayerful reflection upon the final days in the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. Guided by hope, we enter into sacred memory and prepare to pass through the shadow of the cross. We hope you will join us for one or more of this week's services and to take part in our Resurrection celebration this Sunday at 9am!
This progressive Episcopal church community is committed to proclaiming Jesus' gospel of love, justice, and peace. We seek to serve God and embody Christ, filled with Holy Spirit. A gathering of open-minded, open-hearted pilgrims walking in the Way of Jesus, our members aspire to shine the light of Christ in this world, witnessing to the good news of God's abundant love.
"It is evident that all are welcomed and loved, not only by God, but by the members of the congregation."
"The open-armed, welcoming inclusiveness is almost palpable."
"In welcoming all at the communion table, nothing better indicates God's love for the whole human family…"
"St. John's thriving to me is that we become a leader in the progressive Christianity movement. Be a magnet by our example. Push the envelope."

"Any framework that criminalises consenting adult sex work by terming it violent and exploitative will drive the practice underground, making sex workers more vulnerable to violence and lack of legal remedy," said Women Rights Activists while addressing a press conference.
The ministry of women and child, which has introduced the amendments to the act, is aiming to bring the laws on par with UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime which India has signed. Penalising demand for sex has been at the heart of the amendments which signifies a radical shift from the existing ITPA provisions.
Besides criminalising clients, the amendments also suggest rehabilitation of sex workers by sending them to protective homes. "Penalisation of clients is a formulation that will endanger sex workers instead of protecting them from sexual exploitation," said Senior Supreme Court Advocate Anand Grover.

Brown Rice Milk
READY IN: 3hrs
Recipe by gruurly
Simple, easy and very inexpensive, this is better than the store bought stuff, in my opinion. Adapted from The Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook to suit our tastes.
Top Review by Florida Cook
This is an awesome recipe! I had no idea it would be so easy and so good. Thanks for sharing.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup brown basmati rice
- 8 cups water
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold water (optional)
- 3 tablespoons agave nectar (optional) or 3 tablespoons honey (optional) or 3 tablespoons brown rice syrup (optional)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Put the rice, 8 cups of water and salt into a large pot. Bring the water to a steady boil using high heat.
- After boiling, reduce temperature to low and simmer for approximately three hours, or until the rice is mushy and falling apart. I often leave this on my stove for 4 or more hours with no negative side effects. **Note: Leave the lid on for the entire cooking process. You don't want the water to evaporate and then all you're left with is mushy rice.
- Let the liquid cool somewhat before adding it to a blender. Add any optional ingredients and puree several minutes until rice has become completely liquid. I usually strain the bigger pieces out of the liquid first before running it through the blender.
- Transfer to a large container, and add 1 cup or more of water to thin out the consistency a bit if you like your rice milk that way.
- Keep refrigerated and stir before each use. Unsure as to how long this keeps in the fridge, but we've used it up to a week after making it and it still tastes wonderful.

In addition to Meshach Taylor -- with whom I also co-starred in the urban cult comedy, CLASS ACT -- I've played the sitcom love interest opposite Ernie Hudson, Dennis Haysbert, Clifton Davis, Miguel Nunez and Sherman Hensley to namedrop just a few...but I turned to stand-up and performance art as a means of plying my craft after being "aged out" of Hollywood and my agent suggested that I gain 50 pounds to better my chances for character roles. My response? "Oh heellllllll, NO!"
In deference to the true practitioners of the art, I confess that I got into standup as a come-on to sit-my-ass-down on another sitcom. But except for an occasional glass of Shiraz with a nice plate of Pasta Arrabiata, I don't drink; I'm allergic to cigarette smoke, and I like to be in bed by 10:30 with my iPad...fully loaded with Netflix, xfinity TV and Kindle app. However, I hold dear the camaraderie of other comics and the chance to keep my skills sharp; the work environment, not so much. But with that being said...
Love the one you're with.
ANOTHER BLAST! (Thx to EDGE OF NIGHT Fans who post clips on Facebook)
Stand(ing) Up for Boomers!!!But just DATE the one you're with, don't marry him. Keep your options open!

2011 is set to be the year of the stripe.
18 year old Rachel Furner came to my attention last year (she even took part in the Ten Questions With feature on this blog). Furner is a rising star whom is already signed to Mercury/ Universal Record. She is already raising her profile after supporting Pixie Lott and playing at festivals such as T In The Park, Oxygen, Glastonbury, Lattitude, V and Bestival this year. The headline tour is incoming and from what I have heard from myspace and even hearing her live when I saw her support Pixie Lott at the iTunes festival I know this tour will be a complete cracker.
The style of music Furner sings is pop music and the songs are completely astouding. Sticks and Stones is defenitely a song to listen to. From listening to the lyrics it feels slightly personal and people who are being bullied can relate to the words "Sticks and stones may break my bones, But the words will always hurt me". Unravel is also another song that is a must listen too. I could literally name every single song by Rachel as each one is fantastic.
The debut album is finished and I will most certainly be purchasing it on the day of release. The EP from the set Rachel played at the iTunes Festival is available on the iTunes store. Also the debut EP will be released soon

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, November 3rd in a NFC South rematch. The Bucs won 31-24 at Atlanta in the season opener for their third straight victory over the Falcons in this series.
Atlanta (5-3) bounced back from consecutive losses with a thrilling 33-32 home win over the Green Bay Packers last week. Matt Ryan hit Mohamed Sanu on a game-winning 11-yard touchdown pass with only 31 seconds to go.
Tampa Bay (3-4) suffered a hard-fought 24-30 (OT) loss to the Oakland Raiders last week. The Raiders committed 23 penalties in the game, but still found a way to win behind 514 passing yards and four touchdowns from Derek Carr.
Kickoff inside Raymond James Stadium is set for 8:25 EST Thursday night with NFL Network providing the television coverage. Taking a look at the Week 9 odds, I find Atlanta as a 4-point favorite over Tampa Bay with a total set of 51 points.
The Falcons are clearly one of the best teams in the NFL this season, and the numbers fully support it. They are 5-3 this season with their three losses coming by a combined 12 points. They are that close to being 8-0, and they finally got a break in a close game last week with a great win over the Packers.
The Falcons rank 3rd in the NFL in yardage differential, outgaining teams by an average of 46.0 yards per game. They are 1st in the NFL in yards per play differential, outgaining teams by 1.2 yards per play. Those numbers alone show that the Falcons are among the league's elite.
The Buccaneers may be 3-4, but they are clearly one of the worst teams in the NFL. They rank 29th in yardage differential, getting outgained by 38.3 yards per game. They rank 31st in yards per play differential, getting outgained by 0.9 yards per play.
Of course, the Bucs' poor stats are largely due to their effort against the Raiders last week. There's no way that game should have even gone to overtime. The Raiders committed 23 penalties and outgained the Bucs by a whopping 356 yards in that contest.
In fact, the Bucs have been outgained in five of their seven games this season. Meanwhile, the Falcons have actually outgained six of their eight opponents this season. It's clear to me by the numbers that the Falcons are contenders, and the Bucs are pretenders.
Tampa Bay is 18-43-1 ATS in it s last 62 home games overall, and 5-14 ATS in home games over the past three seasons.
The Bucs are down several key weapons this week. They are without their top three running backs in Doug Martin, Charles Sims and Jacquizz Rodgers. They are also without their No. 2 receiver in Vincent Jackson and top tight end Austin Saferian-Jenkins. Jameis Winston simply has too much on his plate right now.
The Bucs gave up a ridiculous 626 total yards to the Raiders last week, and now they're up against the league's top offense in the Falcons. Indeed, Atlanta ranks 1st in the NFL in total offense (425.2 yards/game), 1st in scoring offense (32.8 points/game) and 1st in yards per play (6.8 yards/play). The Bucs' defense was on the field for 94 snaps in the OT loss to the Raiders, so they will be fatigued on this short week.
Matt Ryan and company want revenge on the Bucs from losing 24-31 in the opener at home. They also know that they've lost three straight in this series, and it's time to end it. With the state the Bucs are in right now, it's clear that is a likely possibility Thursday night.
The Falcons have played their best football on the road, going 3-1 SU & 4-0 ATS. The Bucs are 0-3 SU & 0-3 ATS at home this season, getting outscored by 10.3 points per game. Tampa Bay is 18-43-1 ATS in it s last 62 home games overall, and 5-14 ATS in home games over the past three seasons.
