#NotInMyName and expanding 'islands of sanity'

From the Blog beenasarwar[image: agenda_16_06_1] Residents say they keep a 24-hour vigil during disturbances to prevent any mischief by 'outsiders' Talking about the #NotInMyName campaign in India against lynch mobs that forced PM Modi to break his near-silence on the vigilante violence, my friend Jaspal Singh in an email also discusses the model of citizens' "defence committees" against communal violence, as seen in Canada and in India. He gives the example of Ram Rahim Nagar (population over 20,000), Ahmedabad, cared for by a welfare society formed by two security guards in 1974. "It is to their great honour that to this day not a single communal incident has taken place there, even when Gujarat was burning," added Jaspal when I probed him further about it.

Independence Day Under Donald Trump

From the Blog pakteahouse By: Rafique Ali Today is July 4th, 2017. Exactly 241 yrs ago in 1776, representatives of 13 colonies who were then subject of mighty British Empire resolved to succeed to form a perfect union to start an experiment called the United States of America; rest is history. For 240 years this country went through many shockwaves, Trump's election was the most divisive shock this country ever suffered after the civil war. PC: Business Insider I am guilty of writing a hypothetical scenario of Donald Trump's election, it was published in Pak Tea House on June 16, 2016; I never intended or wished for his election.
