On hearing this, Akbar came out of his hiding place, and told Birbal ” Birbal, what is this fraud you are doing ? You yourself asked your servant to give you two pegs of drink. And now you are beating this poor man saying he is making you drink
In reply, I would like to say that Imran Khan has not criticised India but its Prime Minister Modi, whose politics consists of inciting and spreading hatred against Indian Muslims, a policy which has resulted in lynching of Indian Muslims, beating them brutally for not saying Jai Shri Ram, bulldozing their houses, and arresting and jailing scores of innocent Muslims for long periods ( e.g. Umar Khalid ). What is wrong in such criticism ? All right minded persons in India and Pakistan should do the same.
The oppression of Muslims in India, a minority community constituting just 15% of the nation’s 1.4 billion population, remains a distressing reality. Despite India’s rich tradition of diversity, recent events, particularly under the governance of the pro-Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) since 2014, have raised concerns over the safety and dignity of Muslims. From incidents like the Karnataka mosque intrusion to cases of lynching and wrongful imprisonment, the challenges faced by the Muslim community have intensified. These incidents have sparked debates on the responsibilities of a majority toward its minorities in a truly civilized society.
However, the situation has changed with the emergence of China as a super power in the world. Now China has penetrated deeply into the Pakistan economy, and the US government must be very worried that the Chinese may soon penetrate into the political echelons of power in Pakistan too, which though still under US grip till today, may not so remain if the Chinese presence in Pakistan keeps expanding.
After the events of 9h May, 2023 ( which many say were stage managed ) the Pakistan army unleashed a fascist reign of terror in Pakistan, suppressing all civil liberties and human rights in Pakistan, like Gen Pinochet in Chile, or Gen Franco in Spain. About 14,000 innocent persons were arrested on trumped up charges, many beaten and tortured, and then incarcerated in jail, where they are still languishing in inhuman conditions for over an year. The judiciary, whose solemn duty is to uphold the Constitution and protect the rights and liberties of the people ( as contained in Articles 8 to 28 of the Pakistan Constitution ), has turned a Nelson’s eye to these atrocities, and become servile to the executive and its toady. The media has been largely silenced.
When a Muslim is lynched in India, most Hindus are indifferent, and some even happy ( one terrorist less ! ). The same happens when a Muslim is beaten up for not saying ” Jai Shri Ram ” or his house is bulldozed. How many Hindus have raised their voice against Umar Khalid”s incarceration in jail on a trumped up charge for 4 years, and of scores of other Muslims, whose only fault was that they had Muslim names ?.
This reminds one of the Queen of Hearts in Lewis Carroll’s famous book ‘Alice in Wonderland’ who would shout ” Off with his head ” when anyone was brought before her. When people asked what about holding a trial before cutting off a man’s head, she would say ” Trial later, first off with his head “
He then said “ Ever since President’s rule was imposed there was no corruption in J&K. Our children could go to school and come home safely. The tourism industry revived. There were no incidents of stone pelting etc. We were mostly happy. Now all this may change.
But seeing on the media an avalanche of accolades, encomiums, eulogies, panegyrics and plaudits pouring in that day and the next, as if an Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill or Lenin had died, I could not stand this nonsense, claptrap, bunkum, gobbledygook, and blah blah any longer, and was constrained to write and get published an article titled ‘Ratan Tata was only a bania’ on 10th October, which I posted on facebook and twitter
Ever since he became the CJP on 17th September 2023, Qazi Faez Isa, instead of behaving in an impartial and independent manner, as an upright judge is expected to do, shamelessly surrendered before, and did the bidding of, the Pakistan Establishment, in a servile manner, as detailed in the links below
In my article ‘Sanskrit as a language of science’ I have said that there is a misconception that Sanskrit was only a language for chanting mantras in temples and ceremonies. In fact Sanskrit was the language of free thinkers, who questioned everything, and expressed the widest spectrum of thoughts on various subjects e.g. philosophy, science, art, law, grammar, etc. In particular, Sanskrit was the language of our scientists in ancient India.
Why can Pakistanis not speak the truth that Partition was a British fraud, and that Pakistan is a fake, artificial country which will one day surely reunite with India ? That is because in Pakistan speaking against Partition carries a 10 year jail sentence, vide section 123A of the Pakistan Penal Code, which states
Munshi Jwala Prashad told him not to worry. He should go to Patna, and he ( Munshi Jwala Prashad) would manage everything in the Allahabad High Court.
The highest castes among Muslims are called ashrafs i.e, syed, sheikh, moghul and pathan. These are equivalent to Hindu upper castes. Of these, the highest are the syeds, because they claim to be the direct descendants of the Prophet.

The recent parole of convicted rapist Gurmeet Ram Rahim, leader of the Dera Sacha Sauda, has ignited a fresh wave of controversy as he rallies his followers to support the BJP in upcoming elections. Ram Rahim, who is serving a 20-year sentence for raping two of his disciples, has a history of political involvement, particularly with the BJP, which has long sought the backing of his massive follower base. Critics are questioning the timing of his parole, which coincides with key electoral events, accusing the ruling party of leveraging his influence for political gain. This unsettling alliance raises serious ethical concerns about the intersection of criminality and politics, and what it signals for India’s democratic values.
It was a sitting dinner, with judges sitting in a circle. Before it was held, many vegetarian judges said they would not sit next to a judge eating non veg food, and they threatened to boycott the dinner if they were made to sit next to such a judge.
An army can fight another army, it cannot fight the masses. A tiger can kill a prey, it cannot kill a swarm of mosquitoes. The Pakistan army has only about 650,000 active duty soldiers ( plus 550,000 reservists ) i.e. a total of 1.2 millon. But the population of Pakistan is about 240 million
I do not know Imran Khan and have never met him. I am not his friend, relative, or belonging to his caste or creed, and I do not expect anything from him.
Yet I have been supporting him as I regard him as basically honest, and I support all honest persons, whether Indian, Pakistani, British, American or of any country.
I have read the poetry of many foreign countries in the world, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Latin American, etc, as well as the poetry in many Indian languages e.g. Hindi, Bangla, Tamil, Kashmiri, etc. I can venture to say that no poetry in the world expresses the voice of the human heart so powerfully, and with such sophistication ( andaaz-e-bayaan ) as Urdu poetry does. In that sense I regard Urdu poetry as the greatest poetry in the world. What a tragedy that there were, and still are, some bigoted, inane people in India who sought to suppress this great language Urdu in the land of its own birth.
In Pakistan the real rulers are the army. After the events of 9th May, 2023 ( which many people say were stage managed ), a fascist reign of terror was unleashed by the Pakistan army, and about 14,000 people arrested on trumped up and concocted charges, many beaten and tortured, and then incarcerated in jail where they are still living in inhuman conditions. Some have even ‘disappeared’. The judiciary, headed by that shameless, sold out, toady of the Pakistan Establishment, Chief Justice of Pakistan, Qazi Faez Isa, has become totally servile, and does nothing to protect the liberties of the people, which was its solemn Constitutional duty, and the media has been largely silenced.
Later, agents of our British rulers, who were pursuing the divide and rule policy, e.g. Bhartendu Harishchandra, falsely propagated that Urdu was the language of Muslims, while Hindi was the language of Hindus. They also propagated that Urdu was a foreign language, which was false

Being basically a lawyer myself ( I became a Judge much later, and have at heart always remained a lawyer ), I was heartened to see on youtube my Pakistani professional colleagues rise to the occasion, and challenge that sold out, shameless, unabashed and unprincipled toady of the Pakistan Establishment, the Chief Justice of Pakistan, Qazi Faez Isa, whom I have compared to the ‘hanging judge’ Judge Jeffreys of England, who was a henchman of the tyrant King James II, and the Nazi Judge Roland Freisler who got opponents of Hitler hanged on a piano wire.
This post is bound to draw a lot of flak at me, but that does not matter as I am not a popularity seeker I have often said things knowing that initially that will make me very unpopular, and I will be vilified and denounced by many. Nevertheless I say such things.as I believe they must be said in my country’s interest.
The Indian people chose the latter, thinking that thereby they will avoid the huge amount of bloodshed which the path of armed struggle necessarily entails. But as a consequence, they condemned several succeeding generations of their descendants to continuing massive poverty, record and rising unemployment, appalling level of child malnutrition ( every second child in India is malnourished, and the situation is getting worse, according to Global Hunger Index ), lack of proper healthcare, good education, and proper housing for the masses, etc.
