Critiques and think tanks

 how historical narratives shape our perception, media's role in framing public understanding, and how empathy and awareness can counteract bias—are central to the works of scholars and activists like Noam Chomsky, Deepa Kumar, Arundhati Roy, and Jonathan Lyons in Lost History. Here’s a summary of how these writers address these ideas: 1. Jonathan Lyons - Lost History: The Enduring Legacy of Muslim Scientists, Thinkers, and Artists Lost History reexamines the contributions of Islamic civilization to science, medicine, and the arts, especially during the medieval period. Lyons argues that Western histories have long minimized or ignored these achievements, fostering a biased view of Islamic civilization. By reclaiming this “lost history,” Lyons challenges readers to confront the selective nature of historical narratives that shape Western perspectives on Islam and the Muslim world. Lyons’ work highlights that a more balanced understanding of history can counteract misconceptions and

Dary tales

 Life is one, and courage is now found in folk stories. The rare and frightening thing is standing with the truth. The happiest understanding of myself comes from any socially relevant content that no one dares to look at or like, as they fear losing sin and guilt or facing anarchy.  A world order where "we can't" and "we can" are ironically the same; imperialism or colonialism claims humanity in fiction but kills thousands in reality. My rationality and intellect allow me to read with human emotions and ethics that few experience, even in dreams or books. Without a deep study, a simple analysis can reveal truths, facts, and realities in this era overwhelmed by information.  The script executed professionally everywhere divides people into silos of silence, erasing the sense of empathy and compassion. Colonialists looted wealth, and then came the "commonwealth"—where there's nothing common about the wealth except the sweat and labor of poorer count

Decoding marketing

 In today’s world, people are increasingly absorbed in social media, entertainment, and other pleasure-driven activities, often at the expense of pursuing a meaningful purpose. This trend isn’t merely coincidental; there is evidence suggesting that corporations and agencies may actively promote these distractions. Studies have shown that social media and gaming platforms are designed to stimulate dopamine—a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward—in the brain. This instant gratification, while enjoyable, can create a cycle of dependency, leading to less critical thinking and reduced focus on long-term goals. By continuously engaging in these “dopamine traps,” individuals become more responsive to the immediate rewards provided by these platforms, which makes them easier to influence and control. Instead of fostering independent, rational thought, these activities often condition people to prioritize short-term satisfaction over meaningful pursuits. Over time, this could li

Renissance of Humanity

As humanity races into the future, we find ourselves caught in an era of paradox—our economies grow while social harmony falters, technological progress surges forward even as unemployment rises, and advancements in health and education somehow end up inaccessible to many who need them the most. The stark reality is that the well-being of society has taken a back seat to profits, and our world seems increasingly indifferent to the moral and ethical values that should underpin a truly evolved and enlightened civilization.  A Cinematic Reflection of a Bleak Reality Many recent Indian films, such as Ganapath, Kalkki and Roopanthara, have painted a haunting vision of the future—a future in which water, clean air, and empathy itself are scarce commodities. These films mirror a world where nations hoard resources, leaders act out of self-interest, and the masses are left to fend for themselves in a grim landscape marked by cruelty and scarcity. Their fictional scenarios hold a disturbing ech

Pompous Corner

 To those who exploit growing anti-religious sentiments: if you truly care about saving a nation or its people, have the courage to speak truth to power, even in the face of increasing intolerance to criticism. In a democracy, elected leaders should not become pompous autocrats. Today, many in power use religion—whether in America with Christian Zionists, in Israel with Jewish Zionists, or in India with Hindu fascists—to push false narratives against Islam. Authorities manipulate these doctrines to justify atrocities, using them as a shield while encouraging the mob to partake in the oppression.

A conversation with chat gpt

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a deeply complex issue, with roots in colonial history, international politics, and centuries of territorial and religious disputes. It's true that the establishment of Israel in 1948, with significant European and Western backing, led to the displacement of many Palestinians, setting off ongoing conflict and suffering. The death toll and the impact on civilians, especially children, are tragic, and the humanitarian cost of the violence cannot be ignored. The statistics you mentioned, including the loss of life among children, highlight the devastating consequences of prolonged conflict. Education, women’s freedom, and basic rights such as access to healthcare and safety have all been deeply affected, particularly in Palestinian territories where infrastructure and institutions have been severely disrupted. The future of Palestinian children, including their right to education and freedom, is deeply compromised by the ongoing conflict. The global

The Manipulation of Narratives: Islam and the Modern World

 Mauritius, a nation with a relatively recent history of human habitation, serves as a reminder of how borders and civilizations are constructs shaped by the forces of history, often through colonial occupation. These borders, while scientifically and politically defined, have become sources of conflict, manipulated by those who wield power under the guise of nationalism. In this complex landscape, a troubling reality emerges: the purposeful creation of conflicts, where borders are used as tools to divide, and nationalism becomes a weapon to advance specific agendas. At the heart of this manipulation lies a broader, more insidious campaign that targets Islam.Throughout history, various ideologies—be they communist, imperialist, Zionist, or fascist—have played a role in this defamation.  Fascists, despite often coming to power through another religion or even under the guise of atheism or pseudo-non-religious ideologies, share a common goal: to distort and manipulate the image of Islam.
