Ceasefire NOW: Palestinian lives matter, not Hamas

Palestinian lives matter not Hamas. What a shame the so called international media are even failing to consider Palestinian children as children. Not a word on the condition of released Palestine prisoners and whenever reporters accidentally utter a word about them they cut it short and start describing the medical treatment offered to the hostages at the Israeli hospitals! Not even a mention about unjustifiable detentions of little girls and boys in the jails. Some of the released are children arrested and came out as teenagers and youths.

Mediapersons everywhere are failing to maintain the objectivity and neutrality expected from the fourth estate!
Hamas has brilliantly silenced Israel, its allies and the western media which were eagerly waiting to 'shock the world with reports' about the militants' atrocities on the hostages. All released hostages were found hale and healthy contrary to their perceptions. Yet, Israel is subjugating the released hostages under intense health screening before handing them over to the families. Let them reunite with the families first!

At the same time, Israel is stopping families and friends of released Palestinians from celebrating the freedom of their loved ones. What a pity! Israel can try to learn something from the Islamists at this juncture. Show some intelligence and avoid strengthening the Hamas further.

Recognise Palestine as a country and allow free movement for the people in all occupied territories including Gaza. The first step towards a long lasting peace should be shedding Islamophobia and hatred for Muslims.


PS: This is not a post to support Hamas but to bring the plight of ordinary Palestinians and right to freedom.

India's Muslim inheritance law sexist, unfair

Every individual, at least in one stage of life, will be confronted by the religion he or she is born. One can lead a non-religious life but from birth to death religion makes its presence in different forms predominantly in an individual''s various stages of life - Love, marriage, inheritance and even death. The parents' religion determines a child's religion soon after his birth. Even before the child start realising the mundane life, religion is thrust upon them. I don't understand the prevailing system of issuing birth certificate bearing the religion of the child. Why the hurry to add religion as soon as a child is born? Let them choose their religion at a later stage. My topic is the inheritance law.We all know India is a mixed community which follows a constitution framed out of various constitutions from across the world. In that sense it is a mixed document which has provided space for Sharia laws to be considered for the Muslim community in issues

Mix well

Mixing of human race happens only through sex, not through migration. Migration simply kills a sense of unity among people. Living in a place where you find people (expat community)  from across the world, majority seems to be indifferent to someone who doesn't belong to their nationality or religion or race. It is hilarious as well as disturbing to see people in public transportations like buses and metro trains offering seats to people belonging to own nationalities ignoring someone who are standing near to them. The only exceptions is the men from the Middle Eastern countries who even bid you good bye. Inter-racial, inter-religious marriages could help change the situation by raising up children beyond geographical and racial lines.
