The Israeli National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi says he expects the war on Gaza to last for seven more months. “We are expecting another seven months of fighting in the Gaza Strip,” he says. One blogger called this on the X platform as Israel’s “unchecked insanity…” adding “this will only further isolate Israel and cost Biden” the coming US presidential elections in November.

Even the most optimistic of political analysts did not expect that the International Criminal Court’s Chief Prosecutor would be uttering these words: “I have reasonable grounds to believe that Benjamin Netanyahu (…) and Yoav Gallant (…) bear criminal responsibility for (…) war crimes and crimes against humanity …”Aside from the two Israelis, Karim Khan has included three Palestinians on his application requesting arrest warrants from the ICC’s Pre-Trial Chamber.

The old world is dead, and the new world will be stillborn. This is, indeed, a time of monsters. My modification of Gramsci’s quote is caused by deep sorrow and pain-inducing rage at the genocide unfolding in Gaza by the hour. The martyr Aaron Bushnell who set his body afire to protest this colonial rampage through the land and spirit of Palestine now seems to be a prophet of the moral doom of Israel and the American-led West.

‘All eyes on Rafah’. In the last 48 hours, my social media has been flooded with the reshares of this one particular phrase. From friends to popular social media personalities, also known as influencers; everyone seems to have picked up on this trend. The phrase, along with an image is urging people to pay attention to Israel’s ongoing conflict in Gaza. It is getting shared by millions on social media following a deadly Israeli airstrike killing dozens of civilians.

Many students, or those who were students once, associate traditional learning spaces with a sense of fear - fear that stems from the lack of opportunities to express themselves in their own ways and being regularly bound by traditional rules and regulations. What makes learning a rewarding experience for many is the opportunity to be free and fearless, and traditional learning ecosystems might not be the most favorable centers for supporting the same.

Most of us who lived through the COVID-19 pandemic were surprised to see how well we were able to adapt to the sudden changes that were enforced upon us, and one specific example was for students who had to suddenly switch from offline learning spaces to online education platforms that came to the space of their homes.

It is sad to see the HAF run roughshod over the diversity of Hinduism. In its attempt to prove the homogenous character of Hindus, HAF turned a debate on the nature of the Ayodhya inauguration into Hindus versus others. In January 2024, the U.S.-based Hindu nationalist group, the Hindu American Foundation (HAF), released a series of videos and a so-called factsheet addressing the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya which was built on the ruins of the 500-year-old Babri Masjid.

Modi has proven to the country that he means business. He promised the country the Ram Temple in the very location where the Babri Masjid once proudly stood. He fulfilled that promise. A mob of right wingers, RSS cadres, and lumpen elements brought it down unabashedly. Bringing down the mosque in 1992 was an act that split the country and created bloodshed.

Since Narender Bhai Modi, who claims to be a ‘Hindu Nationalist’ and member of RSS took charge as PM of India, the largest democracy in the world, has no respite from receiving fatal blows. Sadly, judiciary which was to function as watch-dog of the Republic has completely capitulated to the Hindutva agenda. The consecration of Ram Temple by Modi performing the role of a main priest on January 22, 2024 seems to be the beginning of end of the Indian Republic.
