Dr Khan commended Mufti Saheb’s tireless efforts in unearthing and publishing many of Shah Waliullah’s manuscripts and texts that were hidden and forgotten. The current tenth volume stands as a testament to this scholarly dedication. He stated that his personal and scholarly bonds with Mufti Saheb and Shah Waliullah motivated him to accept this award.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has every right to condition European relations with any other country or bloc on respect for human rights. That, of course, would hold true if she genuinely cared about such values herself. In response to the June 19 signing of the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran—intended to bring an end to a destructive war—von der Leyen declared that the European Union does not intend to lift its sanctions on Tehran.

Governments have legitimate responsibilities. They must protect national security, prevent foreign interference, combat fraud, and address misinformation.

Eid-Ul-Adha (Bakr Eid) is the second most important festival for Muslims. Bakr Eid, widely known as Eid al-Adha or the Festival of Sacrifice, is the major Islamic holiday. It honours Prophet Ibrahim’s (Abraham) unwavering faith in Allah, commemorating his willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience before Allah provided a ram in the son's place. Muslims who can afford to do so perform a ritual sacrifice of an animal, such as a goat, sheep, cow, or camel.

The question of whether India has become a police state under the rule of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is one of the most contentious issues in contemporary Indian politics. Critics argue that the growing power of law-enforcement agencies, increasing restrictions on civil liberties, misuse of preventive detention laws, custodial violence, and suppression of dissent indicate a drift towards a police state.

The police constitute one of the most visible institutions of the modern state. In a democratic society, the police are expected to protect citizens, maintain law and order, prevent crime, and uphold constitutional values. Ideally, they should function as impartial guardians of justice and defenders of human rights. In India, however, the police system has frequently been criticized for brutality, corruption, caste prejudice, communal bias, authoritarian conduct, and violations of civil liberties.

With RSS cadres in full control of the Indian State, June 2014 onward, the country has become a laboratory for a major dietary fabrication that vegetarianism is Sanatan to Hinduism. It is not that prior to Modi’s coming to power the concept did not exist, a substantial and powerful section of the ruling elite including Gandhi were vociferous believers in it. However, it was not a project for which Indian State worked vehemently.
