The French made a short film about what could happen after all immigrants would follow the ‘_white, angry old man’s_’ advice to go back where they came from.*
@sherryrehman Make them resign compulsorily!!! Don’t just post them away or install them in another department …!!! They need to be dismissed @MazharAbbasGEO
A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT. He knows his time is running out. So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour. He died 5 months later. This is that lecture. The most important hour you'll watch this week. Bookmark it for later!

What is divide & Rule?
We often hear that history repeats itself. What it really means is that when we fail to learn from the past, we remain vulnerable to repeating its errors.
Read and ponder over the words of
George William Forrest, British historian of colonial India, best known for his documentary work on the Indian Mutiny of 1857–58
on pg 407 of
A History of the Indian Mutiny, 1857–58: Reviewed and Illustrated from Original Documents
he wrote
“Among the many lessons which the Indian Mutiny conveys to the historian and administrator none is of greater importance than the warning that it is possible to have a revolution in which Brahmin and Sudra, Mahometan and Hindu, were united against us; and that it is not safe to suppose that the peace and stability of our dominion in any great measure depends on the continent being inhabited by many different races with different religious systems, for they mutually understand and respect and take a part in each other’s modes and ways and doings.”
Ben Affleck's mother Chris Affleck passed today. I was unaware of her longstanding activism for Palestine. Now his disgust and revulsion at genocidal Zionist Bill Maher and Sam Harris's deranged racist Islamophobic rants makes perfect sense. RIP, you raised a good son.

Many people have wondered how five-month-old Lamine Yamal, born into an ordinary, working-class family with no influential football connections, ended up in a photoshoot with Lionel Messi.
The answer is beautifully simple: PURE CHANCE
In late 2007, the Spanish newspaper Sport and UNICEF were producing a charity calendar featuring Barcelona players with babies. Yamal’s parents entered him into a public raffle, and he was among the children randomly selected. Messi, then a shy 20-year-old rising star, happened to be the Barcelona player assigned to their session.
The shoot took place at Camp Nou, where photographer Joan Monfort captured Messi holding and gently bathing baby Lamine as his mother watched nearby. Nobody involved knew that the child would later join Barcelona, wear the iconic No. 10 and become one of football’s biggest stars.
The photos remained largely forgotten until Yamal’s rise brought them back into the spotlight. Now, nearly two decades later, that anonymous baby and the young footballer holding him will lead Spain and Argentina against each other in the 2026 World Cup Final.
No influence. No special connections. Just a raffle, a charity photoshoot and a coincidence that now feels like destiny.

@sabizak Roman Urdu for one, was never used …. Despite Convent Ed. And people had better spellings …. (No spell checks) & no
Calculators for single digit multiplication 🤔
@sabizak Yes totally agree - no ban. But pls check with people in Min. of Foreign Affairs, given to believe there was a circular to missions abroad, stating: preference for national dress (shalwar kameez) AND females (spouses & officials ) not to shake hands with men!!
What I liked most about Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapas Aaunga - other than that he has shown incredible courage against the tide of hate-driven communalist cinema in India - is that he makes it clear that we must not appropriate the trauma of those who suffered it. We can relate to it, empathize with it, and may also inherit parts of it as it is passed down through generations, but we were never its actual victims; we can never imagine what it meant or felt to be in that position, and so the best we can do is to keep the memories alive, tell these stories, and use them to build a better world - as Imtiaz Ali is trying to do in this film.
