600kg, 22ft &150yrs of history. The iconic Shahi Zarih of Lucknow's #Muharram is not made of gold/silver, but paper, wax &weeks of meticulous work.Beyond art lies Shia-Sunni unity surviving decades pf strife. Watch my video.

Muslims in Lucknow had voluntarily given up cow slaughter on Baqreid more than 100 years ago, for peace and unity. Fuelled by Mahatma Gandhi and Maulana Abdul Bari Ferangi Mahli,this is what India is all about. Hope it takes over hate and strife still.

Be it JNU, @CJP_for_India or any other protest in India, the Aazadi song IS the anthem of resistance—the modern day Inquilab Zindabad.

Here I tell you,its Lucknow connection & the story behind change.Another attempt at recreating the stories I did for print.

This gives me hope

One WhatsApp University Uncle in Karnataka called a Muslim resident in his society a ‘terrorist’ and ‘Pakistani’.

That’s when other residents stepped in to show him the mirror. Uncle had to finally apologise.

Good going folks - may your tribe increase! ❤️

Rights groups warn over 9 million people in India’s West Bengal have been stripped of voting rights. The BJP-led government calls it a “revision,” but critics say Muslims and minorities are disproportionately targeted.

Israeli authorities confess they are singling out the Shi'ite Lebanese population for destruction.

This is textbook ethnic cleansing, described as "Israel's message" by the @nytimes.

To commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Ali on 21st Ramzan, Lucknow's iconic--Hasan Mirza Taboot--was first taken out in procession in 1870. Today when the world mourns death of Hazrat Ali, it is the 150th year of this Taboot in Lucknow.

🚨 BREAKING : President of Mexico 🇲🇽 Sheinbaum has revolted against US and Israel against Iran war

"I oppose US & Israel attack on Iran. Bombing schools full of girls is crime, not defense" 🔥

Spain started, Belgium did & now others showing spine 🫡

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

A newly released video suggests a US Tomahawk missile likely struck an Iranian elementary girls’ school in Minab, killing 175 people, most of them children. The US had previously accused Iran of the attack.

[Richard @ricwe123]

So the US decided to bomb a school full of children, and then decided to strike the same school again to kill all the parents who rushed in trying to save their kids......

Stay tuned for straight truth

A siren in Tel Aviv means run to shelter. In Gaza, it means nothing-because there are no sirens. Just bombs. Just death. Just silence. That's the difference

BREAKING!

Former US Marine Sergeant Brian McGinnis, freshly out of jail:

🚨🇦🇹 BREAKING: In Vienna, anti-war demonstrators took to the streets to show solidarity with Iran and condemn the US-Israeli military campaign against the country.

Thank you NYC for hitting the streets! TRUMP IS A WAR CRIMINAL! 🎯

[Atieh (عطیه بختیار) @UnboundedVoice]

They hit the oil refineries that feed #Tehran. Thousand if labor workers burned alive. Families burned in their homes. Toxic fumes and fire rolling over a city of 9 million people.

Two days ago they hit the burn treatment center, so even if it is still open, it cannot be operating at full capacity.

They bombed the airport, so families cannot even send the burned and injured out for treatment.

Burning fuel is running through rain canals like a river of fire, scorching trees, licking the walls of houses beside it, turning ordinary streets into hell.

This is the real face of the #United_States and #Israel.
