Islam in South Asia: Its Beginning & Emergence

Arrival of Islam in South Asia; Its Historical Perspective  The arrival of Islam in South Asia through Sindh in 711-12 AD, led by Muhammad Bin Qasim, marks a significant moment in history. While it's commonly believed that this invasion was a deliberate effort to spread Islam, the reality is much more different than that. Historians mostly agree that Islam came to South Asia in 712 AD but religious clerics have their own interpretations which are contradictory to the view of historians. Historically, there's a divide in interpretations. Some hail Raja Dahir as a hero for resisting Arab invasion, while others see Muhammad Bin Qasim as a liberator, freeing oppressed communities like the Shudras, Dalits, and Adivasis (low caste Hindus) from Brahmans and Pandits (upper class) caste oppression.  The backdrop to this invasion reveals a complex narrative. Arab traders, mainly from Baghdad, often travelled towards South Asia via sea routes, with Sailon (modern-day Sri Lanka) serving a...

Incompetent & Corrupt Judicial System (Poem)

Incompetent & Corrupt Judicial System (A Poem)  This poem reflects the current judicial system of Pakistan in particular which is losing its credibility among public. Justice is one of the core values of any society that causes flourish as well destruction.  Unfortunately, Pakistan is such a country where doctrine of necessity has always been given high priority due to our weak, incompetent, timid, and compromised judicial system.

Incompetent & Corrupt Judicial System (Poem)  In the halls of justice , where f...
