1. My love for Syracuse University @SyracuseU
All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind” What Khalil Jibran means is that words can't express what is in our minds.
But let me give it a try. I came to the USA for my Masters in 2011 and fell in love..

3. Also grateful to @SUPoliSci and all its faculty and administrative staff for their never ending help. Particularly I am grateful to @sethkjolly for his guidance at key junctures

1. For the past one and half year, I have not used X formally twitter. However today I am using to inform that I successfully defended my PhD dissertation defense on 3rd Dec. I am highly grateful to my Advisor @bdtaylor_SU for his incredible support during the past so many years

[Raza Habib Raja @razaraja]

2. I am also extremely grateful to my other committee members Professor Hassan Abbas @Watandost, Prof Yael Zeira and Professor Hossain Bashiriya for their support as well. Also grateful to Professor Amy Kallandar for being the oral chair

Happy to report that @razaraja successfully defended his @SUPoliSci dissertation yesterday on "State Nationalism, Islamic Movements, and Islamist Parties: Exploring the Linkages." Other members of the

Thank God, I became a vegetarian more than 2 years ago! A decision I have not regretted for even a second!
Not only meat is bad for health, it is catastrophic for climate also. And vegetarian food is tasty… You only need to learn ways of cooking it properly…

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Beef emits 31 times more CO₂ per calorie of food than tofu does. By cooking so many cows, humans are cooking themselves, too. Forgoing steaks may be one of the most efficient ways to reduce our carbon footprint https://t.co/oJoVW62ErJ

@MubashirAZaidi This was really witty!

[Raza Habib Raja @razaraja]

Well played India
It was thrashing of the century…
And May be much needed to bring Pakistani bowlers to their senses…
I hope our bowlers and batsmen learn from this mauling and rise once again

@maqib114 @MubashirAZaidi @xadeejourno Even without looking at your pathetic profile, I knew you were a youthia.
Ghatia insaan….@MubashirAZaidi sahib is brilliant and witty. Tum jesey do takey ke youthion se bahut behtar insaan hain.

[Raza Habib Raja @razaraja]

فوج پر تنقید ایک بہت خطرناک کھیل ہے
یہی الطاف حسین نے کیا
ان کے پیچھے 100 فیصد انڈیا ہے
پاکستان کی فوج کمزور کرنے پر دلچسپی ہمارے دشمنوں کی ہے
فوج پر تنقید کرکے اتنا بڑا فتنہ کررہا ہے : خان2020 #FromArchives

@SameeraKhan You are living in a strange bubble then ……..

[Raza Habib Raja @razaraja]

I write about the plight of Pakistan's minorities and discuss the way blasphemy laws are encouraging mob violence by giving them a sense of entitlement. I argue that we need to have a national dialogue on such laws.

"We must have a national conversation about this issue involving prominent religious scholars. As we lament Islamophobia in the western world, our hypocrisy & misdeeds within our own country is validating such sentiments," writes @razaraja

Although I will never ever support him but one thing you have to give credit to Trump: He has blown life back into twitter or X again. Like him or hate him, never a dull moment when he is here.

@MaryamShKhan It was that Martial race theory. There is a very good book titled as “The Garrison State” which looks at how this practice led to political ramifications.

@Mustafa_Chdry The comments of youthias are showing that your mission has been achieved… they are burning like hell! Loved it bro!

[Raza Habib Raja @razaraja]

Just like Jibran Nasir, Imaan represents the best of the youth & gives me hope, that all is not lost.
Btw I have severe differences with her mom’s POV & I hate fascist IK like hell.
But she is fair, consistent and critical of all parties on principles. #ReleaseImaanMazari
