Milli Gazette: Ten Years Of A Community Newspaper

by Kashif

Milli Gazette has made a name for itself. It is probably the most referenced Indian Muslim publication. It is a must read for any one interested in Indian Muslim affairs.Publishing a community magazine for ten years and that too without much community support and advertising is no mean achievement.

No Country For Women

by Guest Post

The fight for survival for the Indian female starts in the womb. If she is lucky to be born, she becomes ready meat for men of substance. Men like SPS Rathore, masculinity of whom is pampered in the cosy cot of political power.Why do we sacrifice mothers, daughters and sisters for fathers, sons and brothers?

by Asghar Ali Engineer

It has happened in the history of all religions that the founders’ Herculean efforts to create a new world are reduced to naught by those who convert religion into an immutable formal theology to retain their control over power.

Women Who Dared

by Asghar Ali Engineer

There are instances where women have dared where men chicken out or ‘weaker’ women have proved to be morally much stronger.These women are also all illiterate and grass root workers.

Solution For Our “Idiotic” Education System

by Guest Post

Between the completely dejected and the enviable toppers lies the majority: The average student. They are in majority. And it is basically their problems that should be discussed.
That would in all probability provide solace to those who are at the lowest rung of the ladder too.

by Syed Ali Mujtaba

It’s like seeking answer to; are you child of your father first or your mother first? The answer is both. I am born in India and I am an Indian and it’s a geographical term. I am born in Islamic faith and so I am a Muslim, and it’s a religious term. I am an “Indian Muslim” is the short answer.

Folklore Sans Frontiers

by Guest Post

Six decades have passed since rivers of blood were unleashed by the tragic events of 1947, where an unnatural division of a territory was imposed by a cabal of self-obsessed politicians of all varieties and faiths, in cahoots with their imperial masters.

Adolescent At 60

by Guest Post

Democracy would be meaningless until neglected sections of society are empowered through targeted education, economic aid, job quotas and other interventions. Fair play and better participation of all classes of Indians are essential for a just and durable order. Hopefully, our republic will mature within the current decade to eliminate hunger, illiteracy and injustice.

Muslim Women Of Malabar

by Kashif

Malabar Muslim women may be dressed- traditional, modern, or religious- Mappila women cannot be ignored. Until recently, a section of ulama were opposed to women’s education but people’s attitude changed and now the same group of traditional ulama have set up an engineering college with a women’s hostel attached. Times have changed.
