By |2023-05-10T22:56:44+05:00May 11th, 2023|Education, International Affairs, Political Issues, Religious Thoughts, Social Thoughts, World|

Introduction The treatment of Muslims in India has been a matter of global concern for some time now. Recently, Nirmala Sitharaman, the country's Finance Minister, made an unexpected statement during a conference in Washington. She argued that the portrayal of Indian Muslims by Western media is not entirely accurate, citing the fact that their population has increased since India gained independence in 1947. However, her argument seemed out of place and did not address the well-documented persecution of minorities, including Muslims, by the current government. The Hindu nationalist government has a history of denying criticisms and manipulating public opinion. Despite this, Sitharaman's statement suggests a new approach that may have concerning implications. This article delves into the evidence behind Sitharaman's claim, examines the situation for Muslims in India, and covers topics such as their representation in parliament and access to education and healthcare.

Syria’s Return to the Arab League: A Step Towards Reconciliation and Reconstruction

By |2023-05-12T00:33:48+05:00May 10th, 2023|Current Affairs, International Affairs, Political Issues, World|

After a 12-year absence, the Arab League has finally readmitted Syria into its membership. Damascus was initially suspended from the organization due to the outbreak of the devastating Syrian civil war and Bashar al-Assad's harsh suppression of the opposition. As the conflict evolved and Assad's government, with considerable support from Russia and Iran, gained control, Arab nations chose to pursue reconciliation. Despite objections from countries such as Qatar, a major supporter of the Syrian opposition, and the United States, which questions Syria's worthiness of rejoining the Arab League, the majority of Arab states are in favor of reestablishing connections with Assad's government. Originating from the Arab Spring uprisings, the Syrian civil war began as a popular movement against Assad's authoritarian rule. The conflict quickly transformed into a sectarian battle, with extremist organizations like Al Qaeda and ISIS seizing control of the opposition and inciting violence against Assad's minority Alawite community, [...]

How did United Kingdom Conquered the World?

By |2023-03-05T21:49:21+05:00March 8th, 2023|International Affairs, Political Issues, Social Thoughts, World|

It is not accurate to say that the United Kingdom conquered the world. While the British Empire at its height did control a significant portion of the world's land and population, it did not conquer the entire world. Additionally, the idea of conquest is a controversial and complex issue that cannot be fully addressed in a single answer. That said, the British Empire did become one of the largest and most influential empires in history. It began in the 16th century with the establishment of colonies in the Americas and later expanded into Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The British Empire was built through a combination of military force, economic power, and diplomacy. Britain's naval power was a significant factor in its ability to expand its empire. The Royal Navy was the dominant naval force in the world for much of the 18th and 19th centuries, which allowed Britain to control [...]

KSA, officially the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is a country in Western Asia is the demise. There are many factors behind the failure of the Arabian state. But, ware against Muslim brothers is the fatal one. Since 2015, the Kingdom is openly fighting proxy wars against Iran. As you know wars only create chaos in the region. Islam is the religion of peace, but, killing Muslim brothers is not part of the religion. KSA is trying to be a regional power with the help of an iron brother, United States of America. Nowadays, Arabian states are opting out of Arab Spring and forming ties with enemies. For instance, the UAE's move to make bilateral ties with the Jewish state is the latest development. There is a massive pressure on KSA to accept Israel. The acceptance of the Israeli state raises my questions on the unity of Muslim Ummah. Organisation of [...]

By |2020-07-05T17:32:40+05:00February 29th, 2020|Current Affairs, Education, International Affairs, Pakistan Affairs, Political Issues|

Rules are a crucial element to form a healthy community. Each of the states has its own rules for the country or region. These rules are often formed under the influence of religion some of them based on ancient principles that do not even address the issues of the contemporary world. Fortunately, it is not a case for all countries. Islam originated in the 5th century with the arrival of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who come with a Holy book which is called Quran Majeed. The book provides rudimentary knowledge about everything but does not address each of the dimensions completely. Therefore, one needs a set of references to perform any task such as prayer. Here comes Hadith which tells method and rules to perform a prayer. Unfortunately, the whole of the ummah does not agree on the so-called rules. Sectarianism is the major issue Muslims are facing these days. Even [...]

It is the rule of law, all of them have a leader to look at all of the state matters. In the past, different nations were governed directly. However, in this century, this dilemma is changing drastically. Nowadays, states can be governed directly or indirectly which affects the efficiency and effectiveness of a government.
