Do not amend the Waqf Act; Abrogate it.
A truly secular nation cannot afford to uphold boards that manage land based on religious doctrine. The very existence of the Waqf Board undermines the integrity of civic laws, which should operate impartially, free from religious influence. Amending this act is a superficial fixβits abolition is necessary.
Clinging to such relics of religious governance weakens the foundation of equality before the law. In a modern state, land and property should be governed under a unified civil code, ensuring fairness for all, irrespective of religion. Abrogation, not amendment, is the only logical step forward.

This guy went above and beyond to cozy up to every anti-India figure imaginable. From Ilhan Omar, whoβs out there calling for Kashmir to be βfreedβ from India, to Faizal Ansari, a self-proclaimed critic whose entire career seems to be built on attacking India for no real reason. Now, he's singing the same tune as Khalistani terrorist Pannunβyeah, the one who repeatedly threatened terrorist attacks on Indian soil, to blow up Indian planes and has even threatened Indian diplomats in Canada.
But he didnβt stop there. He even met with people linked to the Ford Foundation, an organization thatβs been flagged for funding anti-India agendas, like bankrolling Teesta Setalvad's controversial campaigns. Letβs not forget, Setalvad has been called out for using foreign funds to push narratives against Indiaβs interests.
Honestly, if Osama bin Laden and Afzal Guru were still alive, this clown would be sliding into their DMs for a meetup.

The floods in South Sudan represent a significant case of mass displacement linked to climate change, affecting over 700,000 people.
This situation may mark the first instance of permanent displacement due to climate impacts.
Geographical Context: The Sudd region, one of the world's largest wetlands, experiences unique flooding patterns due to its network of rivers and swamps. Floodwaters struggle to drain, leading to prolonged inundation.
Impact on Communities: Conflicts between displaced herders and resident farmers over land have intensified.
Future Projections: Climate models suggest a potential permanent expansion of the Sudd wetlands, raising concerns about the long-term viability of displacement camps like Bentiu,
which are at risk of flooding.
The ongoing conflict complicates the response to climate-related displacement.
floodwaters have resulted in increased water-borne diseases (cholera, hepatitis E) and malnutrition, particularly affecting the 800,000 individuals who fled from Sudan.
