What further evidence do apes with apps, the inhabitants of planet Earth, need to have before the liveable climate, the lungs of the Earth, overheat and the mere failure of a computer chip or a brain neuron triggers the sixth mass extinction of species in the history of planet Earth? At the death of détente the powers that be, aimed toward World War III, in evidence for their lack of concern for the consequences of nuclear winter and extreme climate change.

Visit to Hiroshima to participate in the All Asia Conference of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) in 2009 and again on the occasion of 20th World Congress of IPPNW in 2012 is an unforgettable experience. We had the opportunity to go around the Peace Memorial Museum situated adjacent to the epicentre where the atom bomb was dropped. This left a heart rending imprint in the mind about the destruction caused due to the atomic bombing.

What further evidence do the inhabitants of planet Earth need to have to convince them the liveable climate, the lungs of the Earth, is sharply deteriorating, species are dying, the mere failure of a computer chip or of a human neuron are capable of terminating civilization, that the powers that be are leading to one of the greatest mass extinction in the history of the Earth and that mass migration to Mars is a cynical myth.

As temperatures in large parts of the Earth are soaring (cf. ), flames engulf large regions in California, tornadoes ravage the Gulf of Mexico states, severe drought starve populations in southern Africa and climate extremes continue to take over large parts of the Earth. Much like oncologists advising patients and their families of a terminal illness, so do climate scientists agonise while reporting the advent of dangerous warming as temperatures rise and tipping points are broken.

In the history of Islamic thought there has been a dialectical movement between progressivism and traditionalism. This can be seen in the polemical debate between Ibn Sina (Avicenna) (980-1037 CE), Al-Ghazali and Ibn Rushd (Averroes) (1126-1198 CE). Avicenna and Averroes represented progressive groups, while Al-Ghazali was from the traditionalist wing of Islam. Abu al-Walid Muhammad Ibn-Rushd, also known as Averroes in the West, was born in 1126 A.D (died in 1198) in Cordova.

To Shri A K Lahoti Chairman TRAI Dear Shri Lahoti, Please refer to my letter of 7th July 2024 on tariff hikes announced by the two telecom companies, Airtel and Reliance Jio and the necessity of regulating their tariffs, considering that they unduly dominate the mobile service sector, having received a huge largesse from the Dept of Telecommunications (DOT) earlier in terms of 5G spectrum allotment through a near non-competitive route of sale...
