Cows are safe in Modi’s India than Muslims
By Abdus Sattar Ghazali: According to Indian Ministry of Home Affairs, between 2014 and March, 2018, 45 people were killed in mob lynchings across nine states in India.

In response to Akbar Khan's lynching by a mob, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor tweeted Sunday (July 22): "It seems safer in many places to be a cow than a Muslim." Read More

Bangladesh’s Quota System Needs to Go
By Dr. Habib Siddiqui: During the British rule of India, a famous politician in the undivided Bengal province once said, ‘The politics of Bengal is in reality the economics of Bengal.’ Looking at Bangladesh’s history since 1947 when she was named East Pakistan, and esp. since 1971 when she became an independent state after a bloody liberation war of nine months, that reality has not changed an iota: economy continues to drive politics. This perhaps explains today’s student unrest in Bangladesh. Read More
Bangladesh’s Unemployment Nightmare!
By Dr. Habib Siddiqui: These days, since 1971, people in Bangladesh are not fooled by these greedy and immoral communists when they saw firsthand how corrupt they were. As a result, the only reason people like Mr. Barua were chosen to serve as ministers was because of being part of a coalition government with the major ruling party as a minority coalition member; on their own, they could not win a single electorate. These fake communists have failed to live by the dictates of communism and made a mockery of the once much popular ideology in much of the third world countries, which explains why outside China and Cuba communism is a stinking carcass.

Is America broken?
By Oostur Raza: Is America broken? The best way to answer is to break it down….. Can the USA ride its economy and military despite broken democracy and reputation is the real question.

India and its colonial and antidemocratic ways in Kashmir
Dr. Ghulam Nabi Fai: This is an opportunity to explore a vexing but significant topic in the field of human rights: the Right of Self-determination. The right of self-determination has been celebrated for ages. It is a basic principle of the United Nation Charter which has been reaffirmed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and applied countless times to the settlement of international disputes. The concept played a significant part in the post-world war I settlement, leading for example to plebiscite in a number of disputed border areas, even though no reference was made to self-determination in the League of Nations Covenant.
