Indian ulama continue to remain silent!
Despite being in Afghanistan for over two decades, the US left the Taliban network fit enough to just take over the country. They are blatantly enforcing their depraved version of Islam, particularly anti-women policies. They have made women almost invisible from public spaces. Now we don’t even see any outrage. Tragic 😡😡
Progressive Muslim women like Shabnam Noorjahan shouldn't be vilified for challenging patriarchy. Freedom of thought and expression is a universal right we must all defend. It’s time to speak out.#FreeSpeech theprint.in/opinion/kerala-k…
The UAE is right: anyone exploiting the Riyadh airport attacks to sow discord between Saudis and Emiratis only plays into the Houthis' hands. The international community must unite to condemn and stop Houthi war crimes. gulfnews.com/uae/uae-warns-a…
The political future of Muslims depends on the intellectual dismantling of two forces: Muslim clerics who play politics, and Muslim politicians who dabble in religion to maintain control over the community. #MuslimReform

The despicable attack on Riyadh airport, that claimed 12 innocent lives & wounded hundreds, is an act of wanton terrorism. Condemnations are not enough. The international community must move beyond words and unite in resolute action against this horrific violence. #RiyadhAttack
Wonderful catching up with dear friends and legal luminaries, Justice Kannan and Supreme Court Senior Advocate Raju Ramachandran, at a colloquium at the Asian College of Journalism in Chennai today!
It was a pleasure to attend the German Unity Day celebrations in Chennai today – a wonderful event celebrating unity, freedom, & friendship while reaffirming the enduring bonds between Germany and India. Pictured with me is my friend, Mr Michael Hasper, Consul General of Germany.
Huge congratulations to Navi Pillay! A true giant for human rights and justice. Her fearless dedication to accountability and equality reminds us that defending human rights takes both moral clarity and profound courage. #NobelPrize theguardian.com/world/live/2…

Deleted social media posts allegedly by Flydubai pilot Hamam al-Hammami offer a glimpse of extremist & misogynistic ideas taking root among young Muslims. It is time my community challenged clerics and reclaimed Islam from their regressive interpretations edition.cnn.com/2026/10/02/w…
This is an unfortunate case. I feel deeply for Muslim girls forced into child marriage, and for those indoctrinated into believing that any age under 18 is marriageable. Time to reform Muslim Personal law & safeguard every girl's future. #EndChildMarriage verdictum.in/delhi-high-cour…
Reconnecting with my friend Vijayakumar Reddy at his Chennai residence after a long time was a truly wonderful experience. Our conversation covered a wide range of subjects from current politics to the deeper question of the oneness of God that runs through all religions.
India is right. thehindu.com/news/national/i…

The historical record doesn’t support the idea that Islam required women to be confined to their homes.
A must read article on the Koran and Purdah by @FaizEngineer
I argue in The Hindu that subjugation of women cannot be challenged through reformist rhetoric alone. It requires the Muslim laity to question clerical authority, and political leaders to stop lending legitimacy to regressive clerical institutions through high-profile visits.
