The selection of Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan is curious. Especially when Pakistanis currently constitute one of the largest groups claiming asylum in the UK.
The US President linked this UK decision among reasons for his push to acquire Greenland. The UK had agreed to hand over sovereignty of the archipelago to Mauritius.
Auction was stopped after Forum for Naga Reconciliation intervened. The skull is said to have been appropriated by British colonial administrators & soldiers in the 19th century.
1,000 British soldiers are part of a three-month-long operation Chelonia. Other participating nations include Serbia, Romania, Kosovo, Georgia, Croatia, and Moldova.
Australia, Nigeria, Malaysia and Indonesia have also warned citizens in or travelling to UK. Far-Right riots have erupted across country after Southport stabbings.
A selling point that once made The Body Shop stand out can lose its sparkle when it does not evolve with changing market conditions and consumer expectations.
As some individuals within the Sikh community in Britain actively supported and propagated the Khalistani cause, the broader Indian community did not actively oppose them.
The Congress has promised Rs 50,000 assistance to each woman but as we've seen in many recent elections, voters seem to be conscious of the proverb: 'A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.'
Fears that an escalation of the conflict could heighten a fuel squeeze & endanger the economy unnerved traders, with NYT reporting Iran stopped negotiating a truce with the US.
French newspaper La Tribune earlier last week indicated that UAE withdrew from deal to fund EUR 3.5 billion. India is looking to order 114 new Rafales, which could include the F5.
China patiently invested capital, skill and technology in coal gasification. Unlike it, we won’t move from words to action. As crude prices decline, we lose interest.
I have seen many gatherings like this, and not just in the UK, and here is an uncensored ‘other side’. Gatherings like these are not just ‘a meal’ or ‘a celebration’, they are equally a demonstration of numbers, a seizure of public spaces, and a show of force of the global ‘Ummah’ over the national identity and distinct from it. It sets the precedent for a street veto. While an iftar is itself a communal meal, it is a tacit ‘this is how large we, the Ummah, are’ and therefore an act of ‘claiming’ (peacefully – for now at least) the heart of a Western (or Bharatiya) city, signalling a shit in the local power dynamic in favour of the Ummah.
Also, I don’t think I need to draw any parallels here with how this is received vs how let’s say Hindu public festivities may be stigmatised or shamed. So let us not dress this up as pluralism, inclusivism, or (the failed project of) multiculturalism. Community building? Yes, but to what end?
Ms. Ansari, history has a long memory. Gatherings exactly like this one were where the demand to split India was born and cheered.

And since you are moved to write about tolerance and belonging, look into the hearts and minds of your ummah — your brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers. What do they truly feel toward the kafeer living among them? Not what they say in public. What they feel.
