It is not anymore about whether one would ever get affected by a gun assault in America; it is about when and how you’d run out of luck and become the victim of one such mass shooting. — Pro-life hypocrisy in America tells a tale of saving fetuses on the one hand and, on the other, letting their school children die at the hands of lunatic gunmen, unable to pass a bill that can lead to preventing similar attacks on children and others in the future. Instead, Republicans…

Anti-abortion laws are sheer contempt for the basic rights of women. — Who made men the curator of the reality of women? They pick and choose their matters and play with them with utter carelessness and elisions. Foisting women to reproduce is brazenly taking their freedom away to have control of their bodies, and that too with the audacity to make religion…

Disguising and tampering with the past by the Kremlin continue to disrupt not only Ukraine’s present but also Russia’s. — Putin’s elements lie in the “twisted historical roots that produce the evil flower of violence, seeded again and again” — words by Nadine Gordimer to describe the nature of fanaticism in a book named, ‘How to Cure a Fanatic’ by Amos Oz. …

Ideological dissidence between Western and Eastern Ukraine has always allowed Russia and others to take advantage of the ‘now war-torn’ nation. — I must admit that Putin has quickened my interest in authoritarian governments; however, the doubts and questions that linger, or rather plague my mind regarding what is real and fake, are just awfully annoying. And that’s the reason why I would refrain from making judgments in this write-up. Nonetheless, my…

The sentiment at the turn of the century: “No longer will dictators or oppressive governments be able to violate the fundamental rights of their citizens (or others) with impunity. We are moving into a new and different world, though, as with all innovations, there is initial discomfort and suspicion. I…

It’s where modern-day body bondage is achieved via democratic institutions. — How did the Supreme Court of America trounce democracy, circumvent people’s opinion and reach this point in history that’s appalling to the majority? What kind of a democracy is that? The precedent-setting Roe vs. Wade, which provided a constitutional right to abortion, was overturned by the U.S Supreme court recently…

Putin is a hostage of past ideas that have outlived their validity in most parts of the world. However, Russians are still buying them. Unless they stop buying what Putin promotes and move on to a new discourse, he won’t go out of business. — Putin has been over and underestimated simultaneously by the world as well as Russians during the entire course of his political career. Though from time to time, he has managed to genuinely baffle world leaders by dint of deliberately-created jumbled diplomatic moves, he was and still remains largely predictable as…

We are currently writing history filled with distortions, falsifications, and acts that lack contrition. It consists of both committing and befogging us from the most heinous crime called genocide. The word “genocide” disheartens my spirit and adjures dreadful visions of horror and devastation against those mercilessly wiped off. So much…

Ukraine’s sovereignty is a direct threat to Putin’s power at home, and its invasion would validate his control over the region and within. — Why is Putin so interested in invading Ukraine without having been, even slightly, instigated by them? Even though America and Europe are doing what they can to increase Russia’s stakes in it in order to deter Putin from invading its democratic neighbor — from raising the cost of war, militarily…
