In Ayodhya the God descended and departed. A temple was built at his birth place. It is claimed that this temple was demolished to build a mosque. The mosque was demolished by Hindutva forces and a temple has now been built. In the process Hindutva forces gained hegemony in the country and captured political power. In Sambhal the God is yet to descend. The same story is being repeated as the Hindutva brigade finds this as convenient and efficacious strategy to maintain their hold over power.

To an outsider, Pakistan’s ruling class appears schizophrenic, perpetually swinging between Washington and Beijing, using each as leverage against the other. While Pakistan’s geostrategic importance allows this game for now, the day may come when both powers grow tired of Islamabad’s antics and walk away. Even if former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s tenure was considered lackluster, his skyrocketing support since his 2022 ouster raises a crucial question: why would a failed leader gain popularity?

No compensation was given for the land to build this institute of national importance. Each family was promised a job but what was not told to them was that one would require specialised skills to get a job at IIT. Some members of these families were, of course, absorbed for menial work.
