If the man goes down many of his lieutenants will follow. But no sympathy. His policies claimed thousands of his countrymen

To those brave hearts that crossed boundaries: SALAAM
as you discovered stronger bond than faith

A UNIVERSE INSIDE ONE SQUARE INCH OF SKY!

TRYING TO UNDERSTAND LIFE
Travelling 200 million miles, for just a few second's tagging - all in an attempt to better understand the origins of life on earth
29/10/20
Our aggressive and undiplomatic protests actually hurt the cause. From Quran burning to portrait, to cartoons... we are responsible for popularizing the indiscretion.
1/11/20
Was it possible for Allah to punish Samuel Paty for showing Charlie Hebdo #cartoon? And He didn't, right?
But Abdoulakh considered it his duty to play God, ignoring his debt to the French, as a refugee, and hurting Muslim interest worldwide.
And we don't find anything wrong with such thought and action?

19 perish to the terror of the lunatics in Kabul University. How blind faith can benumb sensitivities. Wake up people: Promote #Rationality.
4/11/20
If the erstwhile colonialists did not follow the rule of law and humanism today many of these #jihadists would not be able to terrorize them. Would they?
Islamist #terrorists are plain lunatics and cowards.
Have they ever killed any powerful enemy of Muslims?
Under every faith, killers of innocents at random
go to hell.
Whither their Paradise?

Science and Reason finally seem to be scraping through American elections!
All hope is yet not lost.
6/11/20
What is the health of this much taunted democracy?
The President himself wants votes ignored and counting stopped!
And his bhakts flaunting their guns support him!
7/11/20
Long after the dust of US elections settles down, the Americans must ask how come a man such as he got elected and then came so close to reelection.
Isn't our so-called adult-franchised #democracy model with its universal weightage, first past the poll/ winner takes all, very very flawed?
Any ideas for better self-governance?
12/11/20
By far the most unscientific, irrational and vulgarly anti- secular public action has come from none other than #Arvind Kejriwal, far surpassing the top BJP leadership. Those who ridiculed Modi's thalis should evaluate this man's vibrations. A new contender for prime ministership of today's India.

#STATE:
An elaborate system of well thought out processes to facilitate individual and institutional transactions but which allows jokers to lead and thwart it merely on the strength of universal adult franchise.
An invite to the #Muslims:
Assume that you were born a non-Muslim and were just as good as you today are, and yet Muslims regarded you as infidel or #Kafir. What feelings would you harbour towards them?
15/11/20
So long as one believes in a #God without attaching any attributes to him no one should have a problem. But when you attach some attributes, and I some others, a conflict is inevitable. Logically #religions must produce disharmony.

NOT EVEN GRAVITY CAN CONTAIN US!
Watch SpaceX's Falcon-9 lift off from Kennedy Space Centre with four astronauts, on its day-long journey to dock with ISS
17/11/20
Even our latest version, Homo Sapien Sapiens, is as old as over two lakh years, while the oldest organised religion is no older than 5000 years. If we not only grew but thrived in those difficult times and with smaller brains, why can't we do so without a #religion today?
19/11/20
Why did #God create the hell? Because some people wont reform, ever.
Fair, no?
But who created those wretched sinners?
And what about God's omnipotence?
Maybe there's no hell, after all! And the heaven. And their creator.
The sheer number of people that are willing to believe apparent nonsense in the name of #religion, #nation or the leader is benumbing.
Is it the Loftiness of the idea or the Lowliness of our critical thinking that works?
20/11/20
MUSLIM CULTURE
When ill-informed Hindus deride Muslims, en masse, lightly, I know they know neither their rich culture and its magnificence - nor of their own civilizational values.
Come, let me show you glimpses of Muslim culture.
Is it fair to judge history from misery?
21/11/20
DELHI GOVERNMENT ADVERTISEMENTS
I wonder how they fund such massive advertisement blitzkrieg on so many TV channels nationally, and why. Is it media appeasement?
22/11/20
Mercifully the tough times have not robbed us of the instinct to feel good about large-heartedness.
23/11/20
Bemoan the societies that are led by #clergymen or #politicians, rather than by scholars, social activists, scientists...
Please correct such nonsense:
"My religion /book /country /leader...is the best" = "Yours is inferior"
"They elope with our sisters" = "Our sisters elope with them"
24/11/20
Yes we will boycott France and Germany and EU, and then UK and America and finally the oceania. We still have most of Africa left within our favours where we can go and start a new life. But I heard they are migrating to Europe themselves
25/11/20
As the second largest religious community on earth, Muslims must ask why their influence on the American continent is so ignorable?
26/11/20
Are we mortgaging our nation?
BSNL is nearly bleed to death.
Airports are leased out long term
GDP contraction has seen the billionaires getting richer
And now even Arvind Subramaniam is worried at private biggies launching their banks
27/11/20
Eight decades after #Hindu Mahasabha and #Muslim League politics, aren't we back to competitive #communalism?
No one won then; none will now.
#Muslim brethren beware and avoid the trap. #Political power sought through reactionary politics will be disastrous. Instead, focus producing an Einstein, a Gandhi, Maradona, Gates, Luther, Teresa, Keller, Obama, Mandela...
28/11/20
Serious brain-damage to the middle class is caused by its half-educated clergymen who flaunt pseudo-science in acceptable English!
I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT #RATIONALITY AND FIRM #SECULARISM, NOT MUSLIM COMMUNALISM, IS THE APPROPRIATE ANSWER TO HINDU #COMMUNALISM
I ask
I probe
I provoke
I chide and taunt
Because I love
Because I care

If only he was less obsessed with sex!
His presumption is that girls are ever ready to have sex, that coeducation only produces free sex, that all men have only sexual relationship...
Clearly for him women have only one use for men: sex
Accidents of birth within a faith, within a nation and within a family can sometimes become fetters to free pursuit of truth and inquiry
Look up or around. Everything in #universe is subordinated to something else, and is eventually doomed for destruction. Recycling is the sole characteristic of nature: not democracy, equality, good, bad, reward, punishment...

THE GATEWAY TO SOUTH INDIA?

Why not #TAX the wealthy for direct and urgent relief to migrant labour, educated unemployed and those who lost jobs due to #Covid-19?
Hasn't Corona killed many an innocent? And spared many a scoundrel?
Since we are told that these are not Godly traits, who or what is behind #Corona? And, therefore, who or what can vanquish it?
4/12/20
One doesn't necessarily lose when one fails, for failure is integral to effort. But one loses miserably if one handles #failure disgracefully.
5/12/20
If there is just 1% probability that the mask can protect you from Covid-19 and you still reject it, clearly you don't value your life - or have no idea what a terrible pain Covid can inflict. Be wiser before it's too late.
6/12/20
I notice a distinct rise in disdain and indifference towards the citizens by the bureaucracy in every day executive decisions.
Do you, too?
#Communal polarisation succeeding so rapidly indicates that our secularism was hypocritical and just skin deep.
Shouldn't #Hindus and #Muslims both reflect - in the larger interest of India - how come we are so susceptible to #hate seven decades after independence.
7/12/20
In illiterate societies with rapidly developing communication technology, it is easier to hoodwink the half educated than to poison the illiterate.
It is far costlier to reach the illiterate rural poor and far easier to manipulate the WhatsApp University!
#FREEDOM
must mean freedom from prejudice, from ignorance.
Are we free?
We appear far more enslaved than ever before.
8/12/20
Knowing and experiencing are vastly different.
We may know what happens on ventilators, or inside the jails. But this is no match to the experience of covid survivors and of the so-called urban naxals.
9/12/20
MATEBALISM!
Or cannibalism while mating.
Name some species in which a partner eats the other while copulating.
And is there a term for this?
10/12/20
Not all kisses produce the desire for greater intimacy: the kiss of death, for instance!

"From dreaming of invading India down to cleaning of drainage"
This may sound harsh but it is a very serious warning to Muslims by a concerned Muslim about the state of affairs of the community and how its wrong priorities led to delusion of monumental proportions.
The societies that place excessive restrictions on the dress and movement of their girls are basically acknowledging that their men possess uncontrollable lust
12/12/20
For communal riots, widespread corruption, glaring income inequality, and uncontrolled violence we blame the politicians and the government.
Isn't it time to hold #religious leaders and their huge tax-exempt trusts to account for their failure to check vices & promote goodwill?
Are they there for nothing?
13/12/20
The Government winning against its citizens is as bad as a father defeating his children. No winner but all losers.
14/12/20
It will take a long time for future statesmen to sew together all the fragments of the garment that Bharat Mata once wore proudly.
15/12/20
FANATIC: one would not hear a word against his faith even if reasonable.
What is the specie called who reacts to valid criticism against his nation similarly?
16/12/20
Statesmen don't let people's movements fail because that leaves a mass of disgruntled citizens.
Let grace lead the way to an amicable resolution
17/12/20
One may agree or disagree but this little angel impacts harder than do all the professional vegans!
21/12/20
Will some young friend do a simple research for us? Present a chart of life expectancy and personal income, or in other words, life expectancy and wealth.
We will find out if it is God or wealth that grants long life!

WHAT DID I LEARN TODAY?
Form the habit of recalling all the learning of the day before sleeping. You will soon begin to make your days more #knowledgeable.
29/12/20
IS THIS TRUE?
Einstein: "#Nationalism: An infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind."
I mean:
- Did Einstein indeed say so?
- And if he did, do you agree?
