An Appeal from an Indian Muslim

The Indian Muslim community is in a dire state of their existence in Modi's India. They are marginalized and are in existential threat from Hindutvadi onslaught that seems to be emboldened under Modi's BJP rule.
There is no short cut way to empower a community than giving them hope via education. That is the mission of a group of concerned Muslims in India.
One such person, Shakeel Ahmad, shared his view with me, which I share below:
=====
Bihar Anjuman's vision of educational and socio-economic empowerment is just a small step forward, what we can do may not even be compared with a drop in the ocean of vast opportunities. Come, join us, in our collective efforts through
(a) Rahbar-e-Banat: a madrasa-cum-school project, unifying holistic education, inspiring madrasas to become the focal point of all kinds of education once again (600 girls studying in 2 branches, with 120 of them residential). Sponsor a student's fees @ Rs. 500 per month, residential student @ Rs. 1,500/= per month, or a teacher's salary @ Rs, 15,000 per month..  Write to coaching@biharanjuman.org   
(b) Rahbar Coaching Centres (RCCs) (coaching to 8th, 9th, and 10th grade students of govt. schools of Bihar and Jharkhand): Why govt school students? So that lack of teaching in govt. schools don't make the poor children & their families hopeless (because of which more than 50% muslims are out of schools & madrasa systems). Write to coaching@biharanjuman.org
  and
(b) Fastest possible decent career opportunities to the 10th board pass students from these RCCs by getting them into diploma engg and paramedical courses - Sponsor their studies @ Rs. 3,000/= per month. Write to 150scholars@gmail.com

Defining the Biden Doctrine

  In his first major foreign-policy speech as U.S. president, Joe Biden declared to the world that America was back. The international sigh of relief was almost audible amid hopes that former President Donald Trump’s disruptive style was a relic. Biden has pursued an ambitious agenda to repair alliances and forge new ones, curb corruption, arrest democratic backsliding, and tackle climate change, all while managing the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, Russian threats to Ukraine, and escalating tensions with China.  It hasn’t all been plain sailing. The decision to withdraw remaining U.S. troops from Afghanistan precipitated the collapse of the country’s government and chaos in Kabul as hundreds of thousands of people fled the Taliban. Plans to share nuclear submarine technology with Australia, at the expense of Canberra’s submarine deal with Paris, soured trans-Atlantic relations.  Ahead of the anniversary of Biden’s inauguration,  Foreign Policy ’s Amy Mackinnon spoke with one of t

George Soros at the Davos Forum

Dear Friends and Colleagues,   I thought you would be interested in reading George's remarks he delivered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this evening.   Best regards, Michael Vachon   George Soros Remarks delivered at the World Economic Forum Davos, Switzerland January 25, 2018 The current moment in history Good evening.
