I was born in Poonch (Kashmir) and now I live in Norway. I oppose war and violence and am a firm believer in the peaceful co-existence of all nations and peoples. In my academic work I have tried to espouse the cause of the weak and the oppressed in a world dominated by power politics, misleading propaganda and violations of basic human rights. I also believe that all conscious members of society have a moral duty to stand for and further the cause of peace and human rights throughout the world.

Poof! There goes Netanyahu’s Iran bogeyman
The breakthrough agreement with Iran may have stifled attempts at scaremongering from the Israeli right.
Rachel Shabi, Aljazeera, 03 Apr 2015
Iran’s nuclear negotiating committee arrive in Tehran [Getty]Long before a historic deal was
finally agreed upon, we might have guessed what the Israeli government
would make of it. Having warned about the perils of any rapprochement
with Iran for some years – going to the US Congress, twice, and to the
UN, with the same doom-laden messages – it was probably safe to assume
that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s reaction to any
agreement would be: We hate it.
Indeed, days before this ground-breaking framework agreement
was reached, days before the marathon negotiations finally broke
through and Iranians broke out onto the streets in celebration, Israeli
officials loudly heckled from the sidelines, proclaiming that the
imminent deal was set to be even worse than had previously been thought.
