The Interplay of Genocide and Anti-Semitism - Aiming to foster awareness and understandingJaved Akbar
February 6, 2024

According to the Washington Post¹ this phrase has been in use since the ‘60s and any depiction deviating from this portrayal is inherently deceptive.

Looking beyond: Fears grow of all-out conflictJaved Akbar
March 9, 2019
Relations between India and Pakistan have always been minefield of mutual recriminations, communal antagonisms and military confrontations. Despite this grim record, the two South Asian nuclear powers have made sporadic progress at the negotiating table whenever both sides demonstrated statesmanship, restraint and perseverance. During bilateral talks, India with a sense of belligerency stresses interdependence and a preponderance of Indian military power in the region. Pakistan is characteristically more interested in emphasizing distinctions, forging external security ties and maintaining countervailing forces against Indian bullying tactics.
Lest We Forget: Trudeau Rolled Back Harper's Dark Era Javed Akbar
April 17, 2019
