Stolen Identity: How Europe Built Itself by Erasing Others
I used to look at Europe and admire its order. The marble streets. The paintings. The architecture. The libraries with their golden shelves. And then I began to ask: Where did all of this come from? Not just physically — but morally, historically, and spiritually. And the answer, if we’re honest, is this: Europe’s identity was built on theft.

“Why Did the Burqa Controversy Among Afghan Women Go Viral in 2025?”
Afghanistan 2025: A Nation's Women Behind the Veil and Bars In a haunting image that has gone viral on social media, an Afghan woman clad in a full blue burqa grips iron bars from behind a window, her face hidden behind the mesh of her veil. The caption reads simply: "2025." This single image, shared by user @loniee_07, has stirred international emotion and sparked a renewed wave of outrage over the ongoing oppression of women in Afghanistan. But this is more than a picture—it is a visual outcry, a symbol of a nation where being a woman is equated with being a prisoner in one’s own home and body.

"The Hair Flip Heard Around the World: How a Viral Gesture Stunned Trump and Disrespected Arab and Islamic Values"
The Viral Hair Flip That Stunned Trump: A Cultural Misstep with Negative Implications for Arab Countries and Islam In the digital age, where a single gesture can ignite international debates and stir emotions across continents, a viral hair flip has become the latest example of how global perceptions can be shaped in moments. What seemed like a trivial flick of hair in a high-profile setting involving former U.S. President Donald Trump quickly spiraled into a symbolic controversy—one that exposed the fragility of cultural respect, highlighted Western ignorance toward Islamic and Arab values, and ultimately left many in the Arab world and Muslim communities feeling disrespected and misrepresented.

The Moonwalkers
The Moonwalkers When I was 16, I bunked off school early to go home and watch the launch of the first space shuttle, Columbia. As it lifted off and arced into the heavens, tears came unbidden to my eyes and a lump appeared in my throat. It was the first time that I had cried since I was a baby. That moment in time was so uplifting because it showed what mankind could do when they work together. The space shuttle heralded a new age of exploration and promised such hope and optimism for the future. The American Century had seen the continent go from cowboys and Indians to putting man on the moon in less than a hundred years. Astonishing.

Constitutionalism and the Quest for Social Equality in Modern India. Content Warning.
India’s modern constitutionalism, I do call myself a dalit feminist but there can be no feminism without constitutionalism and no constitutionalism without feminism. They are bound to each other like twins and therefore to even begin about women without constitutionalism. Import limitations on state power that’s what it really in its dealing, with its citizens endowed with fundamental rights which the state cannot be violated. Today we notice that there is a demand to put an end to constitutionalism and the demand in certain terms is why do we need codification. Somehow the debate is revolving around the issue of codification and the demand is why having a code, custom, practice and usage is enough. Custom practice and usage we had in this country for centuries and that is what governs us. What exactly is the demand that is there in the country today as its contemporary relevance, now the Judiciary of course is meant to be the guardian of these rights that we possess and I think it’s time to do a reckoning. They really been the Guardians of the rights which have been endowed to us by the Constitution? The other implication of constitutionalism is that the constitution is a binding norm today. We are often in a state of mind that the Constitution as mere guidelines we don’t need to treat it as a binding norm. We need to remind ourselves that constitutionalism means that the constitution is a binding norm binding on our citizens binding also on those who hold positions of constitutional power. It’s also a call to accountability to citizens in their interaction with each other as also of state organs, of course we all know what the Constitution promises it promises social economic and political justice in its directive principles, they are supposed to be binding on. In the matter of lawmaking we must ask ourselves the question that the Constitution adequately address the question of the suffering and compassion and do we fully share that responsibility for such suffering as being a human species among all sentient beings we humans alone have Free Will and the capability of making change, the change that we wish to see and therefore we must take complete responsibility for building the nation we wish to see.

The Roar and the Hee-Haw
In the heart of the Serengeti, where animals roamed free and drama bloomed like wildflowers, there lived a lion named Leo. He was everything you'd expect from a king of the jungle: majestic, strong, a little vain, and absolutely terrible at telling jokes.
