Most fascinating, complex, illuminating and often frightening history of ‘us’, from the origin of the universe to an unknown future. Except for the part dealing with the evolution of the human race, where one can get less convinced about the very linear nature of it, the entire book keeps you spellbound, makes it a mind-boggling […]

India is safe for all Indians, across all faiths
Ram Madhav, May 1, 2020
Just as Maulana Saad doesn’t represent all Muslims, a few rants against Muslims don’t represent Indian society At the dawn of the enlightenment era in Europe, traditionalists were divided into two camps. One camp believed that universal laws are unchangeable and hence they should be considered supreme. The other camp of traditionalists insisted that since […]

After the Second World […]

Ram Madhav, April 23, 2020
વર્ષ 1914 પહેલાં યુરોપ, અમેરિકા અને તેની વસાહતોમાં જવા માટે કોઈ વીઝા, પાસપૉર્ટની જરૂર પડતી ન હતી. પછી પહેલું વિશ્વ યુદ્ધ થયું અને સંજોગો બદલાઈ ગયા. દેશોએ પોતપોતાનો પ્રદેશ આંકી લીધો અને રાષ્ટ્રીય સરહદોની રેખાઓ તણાઈ ગઈ. એ પછી આર્થિક તંગી અને મંદીનો દૌર શરૂ થયો. રાષ્ટ્રવાદની ભાવના અતિ-રાષ્ટ્રવાદની ચરમસીમા પર પહોંચી ગઈ અને તે […]

Ram Madhav, April 23, 2020
నూట పదేళ్ల క్రితం అమెరికా, యూరప్, వాటి వలస రాజ్యాలకు వెళ్లేందుకు వీసాలు, పాస్‌పోర్ట్‌లు ఏవీ ఉండేవి కావు. కానీ, ఆ తర్వాత వచ్చిన మొదటి ప్రపంచ యుద్ధంతో పరిస్థితులు మారిపోయాయి. దేశాలు మూసుకుపోయాయి. వాటి సరిహద్దులు బలపడ్డాయి. ఆ తర్వాత ఆర్థిక మందగమనం, మాంద్యం వచ్చాయి. జాతీయవాదం అతిజాతీయవాదంగా మారి మరో ప్రపంచ యుద్దానికి దారితీసింది. అనంతరం దేశాలు ఒకదానితో ఒకటి అనుసంధానమైన, ఆధారపడ్డ, సంస్థాగతమైన అంతర్జాతీయ వ్యవస్థను మనం నిర్మించుకున్నాం. కొన్ని ఒడిదుడుకులు ఎదురైనా, […]
