By Justice Markandey Katju General Asim Munir’s recent regurgitation of the debunked Two-Nation Theory is not just historical illiteracy—it is treason against the people of the subcontinent. By parroting Jinnah’s divisive rhetoric, Munir has exposed himself as nothing more than a "running dog" (as the Chinese rightly call such servile agents) of Western powers who fear a united, industrialised India.

How much have women around the world really gained by March 8 being marked as International Women’s Day in most parts? Or it would be perhaps be better to say that this is in essence a way of honoring them? Is it really? It should be, but for several decades the day appears to have become a manner of acknowledging the importance of women, expressing the need of their being accorded greater respect, more powers and so forth?

My wife and I have never been gamblers (with the exception of childhood card games) and never looked for the easy way out. We worked hard all our lives and put the welfare of our children ahead of everything else. Miriam was a registered nurse. Before she retired, she worked in prisons and was devoted to giving inmates the best care she could provide. I had a much less dramatic career as a high-school English teacher at the Walton Memorial School.

Studying at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), a predominantly Muslim campus, I have seen firsthand how this question shapes intellectual debates and discussions. One answer to this consists in an inward turn, whereby Muslims focus on asserting their own religious identity.

Palestinian Territory – Israel’s decision to cut off all humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip until further notice is deeply concerning. This dangerous escalation exacerbates the ongoing humanitarian crisis and weaponises starvation as a tool of genocide.

Maali Ram’s small home and farm may appear to be very ordinary to outsiders, but local people who know better are increasingly attracted by what this bheel (tribal community) farmer has achieved with the help of his wife Dulkibai and other family members. This is why they have been visiting this farm in growing numbers and in addition also inviting Maali Ram for training others in natural farming.
