Though Modi Government won the confidence vote, which was a foregone conclusion, it was Rahul Gandhi who stole the thunder. First with his fiery speech, then his now historical hug of the Prime Minister and the lighter moment of winking at his friend — all submerged the Prime Minister’s speech into background. Even those who do not... Continue Reading →
Time to hold demonstrations all over the country with all religious communities participating Homosexuals have human rights but homosexuality cannot be a human right.

The so-called Modi Wave in 2014 was nothing but an anti-Congress wave generated by the corruption charges against the UPA government. Anna Movement galvanised the masses. The two leaders who cashed in on this wave were Arvind Kejriwal and Narendra Modi. With no organisational set-up to back, Kejriwal could sweep only Delhi. If he had... Continue Reading →

Justice Imprisoned — Chapter 4 The Hell in Fury Part 4 The fact that the ban on capital and corporal punishment has only led to the sharp burgeoning of all the crimes and the extrajudicial “death sentences” and “corporal punishments” is clear from the reports from almost all those countries where the modern judicial system is in force. There... Continue Reading →
Justice Imprisoned — Chapter 3 Crimes against women The level of violence in society depends on several factors but three of them are extremely crucial: Fear of God; Fear of Law; and Fear of Society.

From time immemorial man has talked of God. Most of the humans have believed that God created the universe and sustains it.

Justice Imprisoned — Chapter 2 The relative mildness of punishment coupled with progressively lengthening procedures in trial before the pronouncement of the final verdict had presumable effects.

Justice Imprisoned — Chapter 1 Unlike in the past, businessmen are no more weak and submissive. They are not the cranes any more but the leopards that want to rule and roar.

The Triple Talaq Bill is to be tabled in Rajya Sabha. It may either be passed or more likely it may go to a Select Committee. If it gets passed in its present format, the Bill is sure to be challenged in Court. Whatever the circumstances, following points need to be kept in consideration: Seeking... Continue Reading →
Lok Sabha has passed the Triple Talaq Bill. I have always been an opponent of Triple Talaq and consider it totally un-Islamic. But the truth is that the Triple Talaq Bill does not ban but validates it making it valid but punishable under law with 3 years imprisonment. The argument being presented is that it...

Yogi spent Rs 195.89 crore for the grand Diwali celebrations in Ayodhya. Of this, Rs 133.70 crore has been sanctioned by the Union government.

The daily news in recent months has become nauseating. For months, it is nothing more than violence, hatred and rapes that dominate the news. First, it was cow vigilantism. The “gau rakshaks” were busy paying tributes to their “mother” by taking the law into their own hands lynching the members of the minority community on... Continue Reading →
The Government is so much obsessed with Muslim factor that it has put the reputation of the country at stake in the United Nations, which has questioned its stand on what the whole world is seeing the biggest humanitarian crisis of recent times.

Finally, the Prime Minister has broken his silence. With the kind of furore that the country has been witnessing and the anxiety galloping in the country, he had no option left.

Having a uniform tax at the national level is a welcome move. But the problem is that the world philosophy of Taxation based on taxing Income and Expenditure rather than accumulated wealth is so much tilted in the favour of the rich that it ends up in accentuating an already dangerous economic disparity with every...

Though the whole Banking System is exploitative, Credit Card has left every other scheme of exploitation far behind.

Let Ramadhan be the month of mass abandoning of Smoking by Muslims! It can be seen that Tobacco is a bigger killer than even alcohol.

It is a strange world of relationships. India is even stranger. While we tend to always think positively about some relationships, we try to search negatives in others.

All of a sudden, Mr. Mike Ghouse, President of World Muslim Congress, USA, which also runs a yahoo forum for almost two decades, reproduced portions of my around 8 year back debate with Tarek Fateh.

Following the latest elections, there is renewed frustration and a feeling of hopelessness and desperation in the Muslim community.

In elections... Continue Reading →
It is now high time the concept of Human rights was re-examined. Human rights are nothing if they do not guarantee the security of the common people, including men, women and children, old, young and yet-to-be born. Islam has a larger plan, which aims at Human Security, “human rights” being only one of the means... Continue Reading →
The fact that perhaps nowhere in the world, a leader elected through the process of elections has taken charge in the midst of such opposition within his country as he has not bothered him.

But his people-friendly rather than corporate-friendly approach is what irks the media and the corporate. What I find in him the most important sign of true maturity is the sign of “Immaturity” for the corporate. He will become “mature” for them as soon as he starts saying things that favour them or when he appears... Continue Reading →
It should be clear to one and all that irrespective of what they publicly speak, the majority community of the country, especially certain forces representing them, and the Governmental institutions would love more to keep Muslims behaving as a minority, an insignificant minority, rather than assist them behaving as the Second Largest Majority or even...

Left: King Faisal ; Right: Bashar al-Assad It is high time the Islamic World recognised the West’s strategy of turning Muslim heroes into villains. Muslims will have to reject the supremacy of the Big Powers. They will have to pursue their independent course. If they recognise the larger aims of Islam, they would not only be able...

With the Aleppo victory for Assad, the death-knell has been sounded for the West and its hegemony. Not able to digest what is happening, it is indulging in the media campaign highlighting the “bloodshed”. They never counted the dead when they killed more than 2 million in Iraq. They did not count either when they... Continue Reading →
Though it is very easy to say, and it is what is being repeatedly said for quite some time that Muslims have failed in proving themselves, the truth also remains that even in what we are able to follow there is plenty of lesson for the mankind.

“Jan Dhan Yojna”, “Demonetization” and open drive in favour of “Cashless” economics are all aimed at helping the richest monopolising more and more wealth. The Economic Disparity, which was already huge, has got a big leap in the short life of Prime Minister Modi. There is almost a ban on the term “Economic Disparity” in... Continue Reading →
I had some hopes that Congress will act and act fast. I did hope that the rest of the Opposition will rally behind the Congress if it takes the initiative. But neither Congress nor any other party took the initiative. Their only aim was to discredit the Government and reap political advantages out of it.... Continue Reading →
Make more Strikes on “Black Wealth” than “Black Money” If the Opposition is serious let them give up forever the “Corporate-Friendly” policies and embrace the “People-friendly” approach. The Doctor prefers Surgeries over Medicines even where they are not required. Two “Surgical Strikes” within a short period, both proving dismal failures in achieving the stated objectives, have...

“We can no longer continue to have a defensive approach and have to challenge the false ideologies of the so-called modernity head-on through ideological counter-attack.” “The chaos on the earth is the result of the mankind adopting false ideologies instead of the System of God.” “More than 7 crore (70 million) people die worldwide due...

America has already indulged in a massive bloodshed. Tyranny and atrocities are sure to boomerang howsoever powerful the tyrant may be. Trump may not be in love for the Muslim world.
