  Some stories have the power to change the way you see the world. In the latest episode of CAIR on Air, we sit down with Pulitzer Prize-winning Palestinian writer and poet Mosab Abu Toha for one of our most moving conversations yet. Mosab is the founder of Gaza's first English-language library, the Edward Said Library, and has dedicated his life to preserving Palestinian stories. But in this conversation, he shares a story no one should ever have to tell: from his experiences being detained by the Israeli military before fleeing to the US, to the unimaginable grief of losing more than 100 family members. Listen now.   With gratitude,  The CAIR Team Council on American-Islamic Relations, CAIR   P.S. At CAIR, we believe that amplifying voices like Mosab's is an essential part of ensuring that everyone gets to tell their stories without censorship or distortion. Give today.

  Under British rule, India’s countryside was ruled not just by colonial officers but by a class of landlords known as zamindars. Empowered by the Permanent Settlement of 1793, these intermediaries turned vast estates into engines of wealth — and misery. Their actions left scars on rural India, from starvation to rebellion, yet their legacy lingers in surprising ways. Many descendants of these landlords still enjoy economic and social prominence today. How did a system built on exploitation endure, and what does it tell us about power’s persistence? A System of Exploitation The Permanent Settlement, introduced by Lord Cornwallis, handed zamindars control over land revenue collection in regions like Bengal. They kept a share — typically 10–11% — while passing the rest to the British, a deal that incentivized squeezing tenants dry (Testbook, “Zamindari System in India UPSC Notes”). Rents often soared to 50–90% of a peasant’s harvest, leaving families teetering on survival. Failure to...

Trump's Iran strategy risks becoming America's next 'forever war': NYT

  US President Donald Trump , who returned to office pledging to end wars rather than launch new ones, now risks becoming entangled in another prolonged military war, according to an analysis piece published by The New York Times (NYT) on Thursday.  The report argues that despite Trump's repeated promises to avoid another "forever war" in West Asia, the ongoing confrontation with Iran is showing many of the characteristics that prolonged previous US military engagements in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

According to the NYT , neither approach has achieved Trump's publicly stated objectives of bringing about regime change in Iran or ending Tehran's nuclear program. Instead, the war has created a new strategic challenge centered on the Strait of Hormuz, where tensions over maritime access continue to threaten global energy markets and reg...

Mandela Day: What his legacy means in today’s South Africa

  Johannesburg, South Africa – Nelson Mandela Day has become the backdrop for a wider debate in South Africa over the values the former president represented, as the country grapples with inequality, economic frustration and growing divisions over how to address social problems. That debate has been sharpened this year by the decision of March and March, a coalition of anti-immigration activists that has organised protests across South Africa in recent months, to use Mandela Day activities to inspect businesses in towns across the Eastern Cape, Mandela’s home province, and identify undocumented workers and businesses they allege are operating illegally.
