90% of Indians don't know why Diwali is celebrated. Diwali is not about bursting crackers, It's about celebrating Lord Ram's homecoming after 14 years of exile. Do you think Lord Ram would be impressed by you harming the environment? Instead, use that money to help underprivileged children. Lord Ram will bless you.

While Delhi is choking ,I am being abused for saying it … and people who are comparing firecrackers with animal sacrifice on Eid-ul-Adha, let’s now understand the difference. Eid-ul-Adha sacrifice is a religious tradition where the meat is shared with family, friends , poor and needy on that particular day …. While millions of people across the world including in India consume meat every day. It isn’t about killing animals for fun or entertainment. Diwali is the festival of lights… prayers, sweets and diyas are part of its traditions. Bursting firecrackers is not a religious obligation. Let’s not turn a public health issue into a religious debate. Toxic air affects everyone… Hindu, Muslim, rich, poor, young and old. If we don’t care about human health, what are our religion and traditions even worth?

This is White liberal woman Helen Haines, an Australian Member of Parliament. She has repeatedly called for more cultural diversity in Australia, saying “we need to welcome people of all faiths and corners of the world.” She has supported efforts to resettle Afghans and Palestinians across Rural Australia. Today she was run over outside her office by a 43-year-old man in a Toyota Land Cruiser. He had a knife on him and the incident is being treated as a terrorist attack. Police are not sharing the suspect’s name. She is currently in the ICU fighting for her life.

History is witness since 1789: people of France rebel against the rulers and the rest of the world follows! Rulers of the world- BEWARE! #FranceProtest

Humanities and liberal arts are very important disciplines to complement STEM education. As an academic at a university, I strongly believe in it. But liberal arts departments must NOT impart illiberal thought and must inculcate open minds and ability to engage constructively with all views. I would argue most humanities and liberal arts departments around the world are failing in this mission. Dogma-driven activism is antithetical to the foundations of liberal education.

Speculation and claims that the MDR will be charged on UPI transactions are completely false, baseless, and misleading. Such baseless and sensation-creating speculations cause needless uncertainty, fear and suspicion among our citizens. The Government remains fully committed to promoting digital payments via UPI.

Dario Amodei, Elon Musk and Sam Altman now agree that we must slow down the development of AI and “pace the frontier.” That’s a start, but it’s not enough. When you are racing towards a cliff, you don’t just ease up on the gas pedal. You hit the brakes. When the future of humanity is at stake we need a PAUSE on advanced AI development and a ban on artificial superintelligence — an AI mind smarter than any human and capable of operating independently beyond our control. At their upcoming AI summit, Trump and Xi must negotiate a treaty to pause AI and ban superintelligence before it is too late.

Taliban wipes out decades of progress as 2.4M Afghan girls remain locked out of school, UN agency says trib.al/LQiFdLd

There is no question about whether Hindus and Muslims can live alongside each other in Nepal; they have done so for centuries. Disputes are natural; they are the price of living in a diverse community. But local disagreements cannot be allowed to turn into civilizational clashes.

The apology.

A gay man at Berlin Pride described Israel as the aggressor and enemy of the LGBT community, saying that Muslims and Palestinians are their true allies instead. A few hours later, a Muslim rammed a car into a crowd at the event, killing one person and injuring several others.

A temporary retreat is not defeat, it is a strategy. Cool the storm, Study the enemy, and when the time is right, strike with precision that ends the war.
