Misrepresentation of the LGBT community
It is a well noted fact that over the past two decades the LGBTQA+ community has gone through a revolution. The world has never been more accepting of them with 28 countries legalizing same sex marriage and 120 countries decriminalizing homosexuality as of June 2019. The members have also found acceptance in the media in …
From Statehood to Territory
An unprecedented way to lead through “Cooperation, not coercion” amassed a vast majority, for the BJP led government, in the general elections of 2014. Outcomes were alike in the 2019 general elections. Nevertheless, the recent government action seems to despise strict compliance. Abrogation of article 370 snatched “special privileges” from J&K. In a stern effort …
Spacewar is Real: No Fallacy Game
What a glorious world it would be when a commander enjoins a cataclysmic order, whose mien stands irresistible, leaves no remnants and as a result without causing harm to the environment.

Because of an Alternate Reality
Here in India, we can post whatever we embellish. As Indians, we enjoy greater rights, but the reality portrayed in our neighborhood China seems a new virtual universe. In fact, the industrial giant has a separate industry for censorship. This industry promulgates an information void that has drifted the economy away from the stark reality, …
Has the Great Satan emasculated Global Peace?
“Once an enemy will always be an enemy” is just another demonic vow with a clout on diplomatic relationship. The example of Iran and US gives a vivid picture as it has always witnessed diplomatic tensions until the Iran Nuclear Deal of 2015. The US under the leadership of Barrack Obama, consented to a Joint …

Sudanese Ethnic Cleansing signals another Critical Juncture
Alamein Ismail, a 22-year police officer working on his regular shift in East Khartoum, was standing outside a barber shop. Little did he notice a gunshot which pierced his eye. He crawled and mourned for help yet little to anyone’s notice. The shot seemed to emanate out of a ruck of paramilitary overrunning the streets …
