Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.
Are Republicans Allergic to the Concept of Change?
The latest barrage of nearly unintelligible ranting from our friends on the right presents itself in the form of the GOP’s backlash against new CDC guidance regarding the recent surge in COVID-19 cases brought on by the Delta variant. And, as expected, Republicans are once again proving that they are wholly incapable of comprehending the concepts of change and development.

100th Anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party
On behalf of every Pakistani, we congratulate the Chinese President and Prime Minister on his 30-year struggle and the centenary of the party. China has stood by us in every difficult time. Relations will not change as differences in the region have created complications due to differences between China and the United States. Opposition from China and the United States is worrying.

The Right's Denial Of Reality is Alarming and Catastrophic
Are we living in a world where rationality and logic hold sway or are we existing in the midst of Voodoo and Make Believe? If we were to go by what the Right Wingers worldwide are saying and acting, it looks like they are promoting an alternate universe where Fantasy and Magic are the defining characteristics. From Trump’s “stolen election” narrative to Florida and Texas’s “anti mask” and “anti science” stances, it is clear that Republicans, much like their counterparts elsewhere want us to believe in “denying reality” and instead, subscribe to their warped version of truth.

Hostory of the Mulayam Singh
Decades ago, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, the great Hindutva revolutionary, opined that should Hindus come to unite, then Congress leaders will be forced to wear their Janeu over their coats. That is, the Congress leaders will be forced to display their Hindu credentials overtly in order to retain their Hindu voters. Veer Savarkar said that for Congress but it largely holds true for every other non-Islamic political party as well, such as the Samajwadi Party and others.

Liberty Lost in Laws
More often than not, the lawmakers of America do not write the laws themselves. An investigation performed by USA Today found that between 2010-2018, over 2,100 model bills have been passed into law. A model bill is a bill that is originally drafted by lobbyists, and then copied and pasted by an elected official who continues to formally propose it to Congress. These are also known as fill-in-the-blank bills, as most go on to get copied over and over again, in a fill-in-the-blank format, to be reintroduced by several states (Bottari, 2015).
