We have heard that the “destiny of nations lies in the hands of youth,” and we know that youth is a valuable resource.

The farmers, demanding fair crop prices, are being met with much more than just physical force. More concerning is that they are encountering a deliberate blackout of their voices, a tactic emblematic of the authoritarian tendencies of the current BJP-led regime. Such actions not only hinder democratic principles but also betray the very essence of a government accountable to its citizens. It is imperative that the government recognises the legitimate grievances of the farmers and engages in meaningful dialogue to address their concerns. Anything short of this would only fuel further unrest and deepen the divide between the rulers and the ruled.

As a nation, we are facing a perennial threat to our existence. We don’t have daring minds to rescue the nation from its current torturing predicament.

The nation has been systematically reduced to a disinterested crowd by the ruling elite. Please no more demands for sacrifices from the poverty-stricken nation.

The already impoverished region of GB is reeling with woes, crises upon crises. GB is now being stripped of a historic and decades-old stipulated wheat subsidy right granted to it during the ‘70s by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto on the basis of its disputed status. The Chief Minister of GB and the local government are bereft of any genuine authority or power. When it comes to GB, national political leaders only play into the gallery, presenting a glamorised and romanticised picture of GB to their audience, oblivious to its protracted woes and tribulations. We have no dearth of local, national, and even international vloggers and documentary makers to depict its natural beauty.

Washington WatchThe message sent last Tuesday by more than 100,000 Michigan Democrats who cast their ballots for “uncommitted” was crystal clear. In the first place, it’s always hard to mobilize people to vote “uncommitted” as a protest.

Because some states like Michigan can go either way, they are heavily contested. They had no meetings with national Arab American leaders to discuss policy, making do instead with failed attempts to meet with Michigan Arab Americans trying to secure their votes.
