A Muslim Teacher in a Muslim Country taught me Mahabharata and Ramayana

I have often felt that my school life was fun, with friends, pranks and laughter. But education was quite different; Cramming up on things I never understood.

Punish Nisham – Kerala’s Case on the ‘Value for Human Life’

Yes that is how I want to call this case because Kerala is also my home state in India and this case is about the lack of value for human life. The case is that a millionaire Tobacco businessman who lives in one of the high profile luxury communities in Kerala rammed his Hummer on the guard and beat him with an iron rod because he delayed in opening the … Continue reading Punish Nisham – Kerala’s Case on the ‘Value for Human Life’
