Poem By Sushant Kumar B.K. O government ! You are visiting Mars?No need,No need,But visit “ Dalits” [1]house To behold the doomed face of humanity
Not due to class Not due to Ski They are Neglected For their Dalit being O government !Now you’re visiting Dalits’ house With some tailoring machines So you can proudly name them “skilled men power”?No need,No need.
Visit them with some educational plans,With some books and pens,And implement fully the privilege they have,Write not just in paper,Speak not merely is words But be an action man. O government !Adopting social democracy Could utterly be a much better way Than to eulogizing political democracy And incorporate all the marginalized groups of individuals To make better Nepal, New Nepal.

A SOFT HEART IS A STRONG HEART, AND A HARD HEART IS A WEAK HEART. Suhaib Ashraf Bhat Soft-hearted people are not fools, they know what people did to them but they forgive again and again because they have beautiful hearts.We live in a time when qualities like humility, sincerity and compassion are being considered as weak and useless. They say the nice people finish last and that soft-hearted people are the ones who get knocked down and are often mistreated in the society. What will save us on the Day of Judgement? Are we favoured based on our race or colour? No. Then what is it? It is the place in our body which Allah swt made the location of the most valuable possession of a human being: (faith). It is your heart. What favours you in the sight of Allah swt is the state of your heart. What will save you on the Day of Judgement is a sound heart. When you say the word ‘Think!”, most of us point to our heads, right? How many of us point to our hearts when we say “Think?” The Messenger of Allah swt Muhammmad (Peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) said, “Taqwa is here,” and he pointed to his chest. [Muslim, at-Tirmidhi, Ahmad] Subhan Allah, one of the functions of the heart is understanding. Allah swt gave us a heart to comprehend, to reflect, and to reason. That brings us back to the central ayah: and have hearts by which to reason. Ibn Taymiyyah (Rahimullah) said that many doctors and philosophers have said that the mind is in the brain, so we think and understand with our brains and not with our hearts. He then said that the centre is actually the heart. Ibn Katheer said: The arrogant philosophers say that the mind is in the brain. [Tafsir ibn Kathir vol 4 p.508] To believe, to disbelieve, to understand, to comprehend, to have tranquillity, to feel confusion, to have tawakkul and to have khushoo’ are all functions of your heart.
The state of your heart will decide what you do with your knowledge. Will you benefit from it by practicing it or not? For example, if you hear an ayah of the Quran or a hadith, does it make you feel you want to practice it straight away or does it not have much impact on you? Whatever the answer is, it will tell you about the state of your heart. Sins have an effect on your heart; they can cause your heart to be sealed so that the light of knowledge doesn’t reach it anymore and the ayaat of Allah swt don’t affect you anymore. May Allah swt protect us from this. There are many diseases we find in our hearts, like jealousy, envy, greed, lust, and showing off. Our aim should be to strive to purify our hearts and turn back to Allah swt with a sound heart. Ibn al-Qayyim, (may Allah swt have mercy on him), said, “In the heart are disorders that cannot be remedied except by responding to Allah swt. In it is a desolate feeling that cannot be removed except by intimacy with Him solitude. In it is sadness which will not leave except by happiness with knowing Him and truthfulness in his dealings. In it is anxiety that is not made tranquil except by gathering for His sake and fleeing to Him from His punishment. In it is a fire of regret which cannot be extinguished except by satisfaction with His commands, prohibitions, and decrees, and embracing patience with that until the time he meets Him. In it is a strong desire that will not cease until He is the only one who is sought. In it is a void that cannot be filled except by His love, turning to Him, always remembering Him, and being sincere to Him. Were a person to be given the entire world and everything in it, that would never fill the void.” Madārij al-Sālikīn 3/156
How beautiful are those hearts which are enlightened and are very soft:Pain and agony is what we see everywhere, on different media. And it can be exhausting. We start to wish that it wasn’t there. But instead of only wishing for better time, you can find a soft-hearted person trying to make your world seemingly distant from the pain. Their positive spirit overshadows the despair and offers light, belief and hope. With so many selfish people in the world, the soft-hearted ones are the ones still willing to offer support. Although some may run to a soft-hearted person not only for support but to take advantage of them, the soft-hearted person still offers a shield to anyone who needs assistance. When you run for support to a person with a soft heart, you will never be rejected. People who are still willing to help others are who hold this world together. It may seem weighty and appear to make them weary, but soft-hearted people are not overwhelmed by the task of carrying lots of responsibility. They appreciate the burden and the treasure that was given to them to carry. No matter how the world sees it, they find this task easier than everyone will think. Philanthropy is never a burden to them. Conclusion: It would be better if soft-hearted people were in abundance. To have only a few soft-hearted people seems to be a problem on the surface. But on the other hand this offers every soft-hearted person out there an opportunity to showcase their wonderful gifts of love, compassion and kindness.

This day is dispatched by the International Labor Organization (ILO) to focus in consideration on the overall annihilation of kid work, endeavours and the activity needed to dispense with it. In 2015, world pioneers received the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) wherein they have incorporated a provision to end child labour . The current year’s World Day Against Child Labor centers around activity taken for the 2021 International Year for the Elimination of Child Labor. It is the principal World Day since the all inclusive endorsement of the ILO’s Convention No. 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labor, and happens at time when the COVID-19 emergency takes steps to invert long periods of progress in handling the issue.
In June for the World Day, the ILO and UNICEF will deliver new worldwide gauges and patterns on child work (2016-2020), under the aegis of Alliance 8.7. The report will incorporate an evaluation of how the speed of progress towards finishing kid work is probably going to be influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncommon financial emergency that has went with it. During the current year’s World Day, we will advance “Seven days of Action” around 12 June, beginning with the dispatch of the new worldwide appraisals on child labour . The occasions and exercises did during this week will be a chance for accomplices to exhibit progress in doing their “2021 Action Pledges.” All vows made by provincial, public and authoritative partners and people will be included on the site for the 2021 International Year in April. In 2021, the worldwide local area remains at a halfway point – four years on from the keep going Global Conference on Child Labor in Argentina, and four years to go to accomplish the SDG target 8.7 set to end kid work by 2025. The current year’s World Day, and the activity taken consistently, will add to the following achievement, the Global Conference on Child Labor in 2022, facilitated by the Government of South Africa.
Its Rightly said that Life of little ones are Destroyed when Child work is Employed .The World Day Against Child Labor will be seen on 12 June) to bring issues to light about the situation of kid workers around the world. Many youngsters exit school each year to help their folks acquire an occupation. The more awful ones are constrained into youngster work by coordinated wrongdoing rackets, while numerous others never will see a school due to outrageous poverty.Let have a Quick look on India’s youngster work scanerio.The 2011 public statistics of India tracked down the complete number of youngster workers, matured 5–14, to be at 10.1 million. Youth is viewed as the brilliant time of ones life however, this doesn’t remain constant for certain youngsters who battle to make their the two closures meet during their youth years. At the young age, which should be a time of playing and going to class. They are constrained to work in plants, Industries,offices or as homegrown makes a difference. Kid work implies work of kids in any sort of work that hampers their physical and mental turn of events, denies them of there essential instructive and sporting requirements.its a blotch on our general public and talks volumes about the failure of our society to give a suitable climate to the development and advancement of the youngsters. Industrialization and urbanization have in a manner empowered youngster work. Youngsters are utilized in dangerous work, for example, bidi moving, saltine industry, pencil, matchbox and bangle making industry. This kind of work regularly presents danger to the lives of the children due to their immediate openness to the explosive material. Infact children’s are endured by cellular breakdown in the lungs and so forth Families have a conviction that each kid is a worker in this way, guardians illiteracy is additionally one of the supporters of this issue. Education will in general take a back seat in the existences of these children.infact Bonded kid work is one of the most exceedingly terrible type of kid work. In this, Children are made to work to pay off a credit or obligation of the family. It very well may be considered as most exceedingly awful type of subjugation where the kids help their folks as acquire the obligation from them. Above more than that neediness is one of the fundamental justification the reason for kid work in india. To prohibit the kid work in india Noble prize champ Kailash satyarti showed a drive. He is the originator of Bachpan Bachaw Andolan an organisation devoted towards the destruction of kid work in india. Taught residents can contribute fundamentally in doing so away kid work. Wealthy also, big league salary bunch families can pool in assets to help the schooling of helpless youngsters. Infact the universities and universities,schools can concoct free educating programs for the helpless kids. The head of Each one Train one can be fallowed. The indian Govt has disintegrated numerous laws to ensure youngster rights specifically kid and Adolescent work act 1986, the production lines act 1948,the mines act 1952, the fortified work annulment act 2000.Most of these demonstrations focused on prohibit the work of youngsters underneath the age 14 yrs in production lines, dangerous occupation or in bondage.But Alas after the execution of these demonstrations Still our point of universilization of rudimentary is not accomplished as expected. India saw universes biggest reasonable and straightforward laws however where they fizzles is just the area of execution. Article 39,23,45 arrangements for the insurance of youngster violation. Be that as it may there ought to be a complete prohibition on the work of little children’s in any movement other than going to class and getting taught. The govt needs to guarantee that it has foolproof laws also, they are appropriately executed just as implemented.Strict measures should be taken against the individuals who empower youngster work in any structure. Children’s are the eventual fate of the country and its the youth which significantly affects the eventual fate of a youngster. In this way, it turns into the aggregate responsibility of the residents society what’s more, the public authority to give them a climate which helps them to draw out the best of their capacities, and participate in the country building measure. A country brimming with destitution ridden illiterate kids can’t make progress. The need of great importance is to grow the machinery for implementing the different laws on kid labour.Success can be achieved just through friendly engineering on a significant scale joined with wide based monetary development. In any case, the truth is that youngster work has its roots somewhere down in the social customs of our country and for neediness stricken families, that additional pay is the lone thing among life and passing. Along these lines, it is significant that we raise mindfulness about this issue and endeavour to make India a spot where kid work is rarely an important wickedness. Finally yet not least Child is intended to learn, not to acquire and their is no explanation and there is no reason youngster work is kid misuse… The writer is a research scholar from Handwara .

BIT MORE DETERMINATION TO OVERTAKE THE SITUATION! Faheem Ul Islam
Covid 19 has enveloped every sphere of life and still this disastrous virus is surrounding us with uncertainty.From last two years we have been facing the terrible consequences of deadly virus.This may be very minor thing for some but for majority index it has been unimagined terrible time.Every corner is witnessing retardation of progress whether it is societal or any political inclination. And in the mean time India witnesses the worst hit of covid 19 other than rest of regions of the world. The terrible and heart-melting visual situations created such a chaos and confusion which led the mental disturbance all over the community.But hopefully Kashmir remains on the border of covid 19 on getting such a slap as compared to the rest of indian states.But it will be quite idiotic to be in the dilemma of being forgotten by virus. Even UT jammu and kashmir is under basic developmental stages but despite of all it remains as an marginalised section . We all remained in doors as self qurantined during the first phase of lockdown which lasts through winter and we showed such a tremendous resistance to meaningless activities and other things to be negative by test and positive by mental health .We were loaded with heavy kangri and blanket substances to pass by the winter as well as lockdown. We gave preference to the both motivational orientation and value orientation to prevent this Pendamic for more hits and remaining qurantined is indespensible. Now as we are being surrounded by the second wave of covid 19 and spring blooms are there to attract our emotions but rather being emotionally weak we have to be evaluative in such time, we have to show tiny more determination to overcome the situation. We all have to be open minded and let our minds be flexible to accept the situation without being the critiques of government and other platforms in the mean time. We should not even stuck with our traditional beliefs of ignorance but rather than that have to be surrounded with enlightenment of science. It is very difficult to stand shoulder to shoulder in this pace of development and changing minds of generation.We have to be the examples of educated section rather than being street vendors to be the carriers of deadly virus for innocent people. Now as we all know we are resistant as per the past history we can tackle with this situation. It will be good in the religious perspective as well as of societal norms to stay indoors and be cooperative with governmental protocols to let the situation get down and progress to overtake the situation for the betterment and well being of future generation. ________________________________About writer Faheem ul islam hails from Achan Pulwama pursuing bachelor’s honours in political science at Aligarh Muslim University.

Ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty but it’s the silence of those people who could have done something. Suhaib Ashraf Bhat
When any innocent person is murdered it is a tragedy, no matter where, no matter when, especially if the victim is a child. The world not acting to end children’s cries is the most shameful act that I know of. The criminal regime committing crimes is understandable to me, since they are racist and fascist beyond imagination, but the poor conviction and low amount of action from “good” people around the world is not understandable, unless they don’t want to be called “good”. Killing of innocent people in communal and sectarian violence is nothing new in any country. A majority of the perpetrators of these horrific crimes enjoyed political patronage and were aided by an indifferent law enforcement agency. The criminals escaped prosecution and punishment.
Crimes against humanity are criminal acts that are directed at an identifiable group of people. Genocide is an example of a crime against humanity. Crimes against humanity are criminal acts that target a group of people based on their religion, ethnicity, or some other trait, which is not a direct result of something that group has done. One of the most common crimes against humanity is genocide, which is the murder of a large portion of the population. Genocide is often either condoned, or carried out by the government. While history looks back to Nazi Germany for its example of crimes against humanity, the truth is, many modern conflicts see some combination of displacement, torture, sexual violence, and death against civilians. In fact, the number of civilian deaths in modern conflicts far exceeds that of armed combatants. Are you suffering from Islam phobia? Islam which is based on humanity, The Islamic view of humanity is filled with mercy and compassion, and it cannot be otherwise, because the Islamic religion is the last of the religions that were prescribed by Allah swt, may He be exalted, and He commanded all of mankind to enter this religion. He revealed this religion and sent it down to the most compassionate of mankind, Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah swt be upon him). This is confirmed in the Book of Allah swt, where He says (interpretation of the meaning): “And We have sent you (O Muhammad) not but as a mercy for the ‘Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists)”[al-Anbiya’ 21:107]. Islam advises us to treat neighbours kindly, even if they are not Muslim. Al-Qurtubi (may Allah swt have mercy on him) said: I say: based on that, kind treatment of neighbours is enjoined and is recommended, whether they are Muslim or not. And this is the right thing to do. Kind treatment may be in the sense of helping or it may be in the sense of being kind, refraining from annoyance and standing by them. Al-Bukhaari narrated from ‘Aa’ishah that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah swt be upon him) said: “Jibreel kept urging me to treat neighbours kindly until I thought that he would make them heirs.” And it was narrated from Abu Shurayh that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah swt be upon him) said: “By Allah swt, he does not believe; by Allah swt, he does not believe; by Allah swt, he does not believe.” It was said: O Messenger of Allah swt, who is that? He said: “The one whose neighbour is not safe from his annoyance.” This is general in meaning and applies to all neighbours, and the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah swt be upon him) affirmed that the neighbour should not be annoyed by swearing three times and stating that the one who annoys his neighbour is not a believer in the complete sense. Concerning that Allah swt, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “Allah swt does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allah swt loves those who deal with equity” [al-Mumtahanah 60:8]. It is not part of Islam to force the non-Muslim to enter this religion, because sincerity is one of the conditions of accepting Islam. And Allah swt, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “There is no compulsion in religion” [al-Baqarah 2:256].
Just a small question for this educated world Malala got shot & the world went crazy. Several kids across the world are being murdered & western leader’s thumbs up & let them carry on massacring more children.Does these innocent kids look like a terrorist to you?I am living in a world whose concepts are no longer clear to me. A world where the criminal walks free and the victim is called a terrorist. A world where killing a one year old kid is permissible. A world that has left me baffled about what is right and what is wrong The same can be said about the torture and violence these blooming kids face in their own country, if these kids were Jewish or American special breed it would be headline news throughout the world. Are Jewish or American special breed children smarter, prettier and whiter? Are they deserving of sympathy and solidarity, denied to other children or is that kids of Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yeman, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Kashmir, are the kids who are very dangerous, threatening, guilty, even dark and ugly, a situation that can only lead to Islamic phobia?
ISLAM IS A PANACEA OF ALL THE ILLS.By Sufaya Yousf
Islam is that religion which belongs to every individual and is meant for all ages and situations. It is a solution for every problem. It is a best medicine for every illness whether it is physical illness or spiritual illness. It is a solution for everyone on individual or collective issues irrespective of any race, caste, community. If we see Islam is oftenly described as “the perfect religion”, Islam is perfect because it is not only a religion but it a way of life. Islam is a perfect guide for guiding us how to spend your precious time on earth. It gives us manners. It shows us difference between halal or haram, right and wrong, truth and false. It shows us how to behave with your parents, what are their rights towards you. In jahaliyah period no one knows how to live their life, it’s only Islam which gives them the proper way. If we can understand the importance of Islam then only we can understand the importance and purpose of human life. Islam is the only religion which gives us complete and balanced way of life. It’s principles and teachings can give us the perfect solutions for every problem. Islam is that religion which not only covers the spiritual aspects of life but it covers social, economic, political and even the diplomatic aspects of human life. It gives us the cure of all the ills. Everything is covered in Islam, it gives proper rights to everyone whether it is oppressed, orphan, women, Muslim or non Muslim living in Muslim land. Islam gives us the perfect code of conduct of behaviour, ethics and social values which can help an individual to deal with his stressful life. Islam teaches how to live in harmony with others “Seek the life to come by means of what God granted you, but do not neglect your rightful share in this world. Do good to others as God has done good to you. Do not seek to spread corruption in the land, for God does not love those who do this” (Quran, 28:77). Islam is the religion of peace and truth which never makes anything difficult for the servant but always seeks ease for him. If a physical wellbeing will be adversely affected by the combined effect of fasting and doctor will advice the patient not to fast as Islam exempts them from fasting in such conditions. “And whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, let him fast the same number of other days. Allah desired for you ease; He desired not hardship for you”. (Quran 2:185). Islam encourages people to stay hopeful, even if someone has committed the worst sin or faced with most troublesome life event as there is always God’s mercy.“And never give up hope of Allah’s soothing Mercy: truly no one despairs of Allah’s soothing Mercy, except those who have no faith.” (Quran, 12:87) In Islam suicide is totally prohibited. It is a sinful act because this life is given by Allah and only He have the power to take this away from us no one else have the right to end his life. Muslims should always remember Allah in the times of suffering and pain and they should have faith on God’s mercy that He will ease this pain and suffering. It’s only Allah who will judge the actions of an individual no one else have the right to do so.Muslims should always believe that all suffering, life, death, joy, and happiness are derived from God and that God is the one who gives us strength to survive. They should believe that any loss or deprivation experience is a form of a test from God to his slave of how he will stand this suffering with patience and full trust in God’s mercy. We should always be thankful to Allah that he bestowed us with such blessings rather to think that what others have more than us. If we think so it can lead us towards anxiety and depression. And we should not regret over the things which happened in past, which one cannot go back and change, and not to worry about what will happen in future. Islam is the only religion which prohibits drinking alcohol. Even it prevents the Muslims to follow the path which will lead them to take alcohol. And it also prohibits us to smoke because we know that smoking cause many diseases and it may lead to heart diseases. Homosexuality another great sin prohibited by Islam because Allah has created us in pairs. Man is not homosexual by nature and homosexuality can also cause sexually transmitted diseases. Islam enforces the family role in Muslim’s life and emphasizes the religious, moral, and ethical values. These are some major acts which are strictly restricted in Islam and we can see how these sins affect our health and we know that health is a God’s gift and we should be careful about it. Islam is that religion which outlines how man should lead life after accepting Islam. How should he worship Him alone? What morals and values he should follow? How should he behave inside home? How should he behave outside home? How should a person carry himself in the market? How should a man run the government or politics? It also tells us whatever you are doing God keeps an eye on that and watches your all deeds weather good or bad. If a person keeps this thing in his mind while performing a deed he will never do a wrong deed. And After that, we were rewarded or punished for our deeds on the day of judgement. Islam teaches us that there is no division among you on the basis of colour, caste, place. All are same from one parent Adam and the best among you are those who are best in their deeds. One who is piety. Islam teaches us to do justice with everyone, even to the enemies. There is a solution for every problem in Islam. The remedy for all our ills are present in Islam.

Black Fungus: COVID-associated mucormycosis, commonly but erroneously, referred to as black fungus, is the association of mucormycosis (an aggressive fungal infection) with COVID-19. It been reported around the nose, eyes and brain – a clinical manifestation sometimes referred to as ‘rhino-orbital-cerebral (ROC) mucormycosis’. Reports of COVID-associated mucormycosis have generally been rare. A review of the medical literature traced eight cases reported around the world by 9 January 2021. In these reports, the most common risk factor for mucormycosis was diabetes.COVID-associated mucormycosis has especially affected people in India. The association also appeared in Russia. One explanation for why the association has surfaced remarkably in India is high rates of COVID infection and high rates of diabetes. In May 2021, the Indian Council of Medical Research issued guidelines for recognising and treating COVID-associated mucormycosis. Due to its rapidly growing number of cases, the Government of Rajasthan declared it an epidemic on 19 May 2021. Along with the Rajasthan government, the governments of Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Gujarat have also now declared this an epidemic. White Fungus: White fungus is four times more dangerous than black fungus. It damages many parts of the body and spreads in the lungs. It also shows severe effects on the kidney, mouth, skin, and brain. Young children are also being affected by white fungus. Amid the increasing Covid cases, India is struggling with another epidemic called Black Fungus infection. Many cases are being detected of this rare fungal infection in Covid patients and people who are diabetic, have kidney or heart problems, or are on high steroids. Just when the government was dealing with the black fungus epidemic, another fungal infection- White Fungus has started to spread its wings. The infected patients also include a famous specialist from Patna. In such a situation, questions are being raised about how is white fungus different from black fungus infection? How to protect yourself from this infection? Difference in symptoms of White and Black fungus: White Fungus Symptoms: CoughFeverDiarrheaDark spots on lungs, reduced oxygen level Black Fungus Symptoms:Facial DeformityHeadacheFacial painNasal congestionLoss of vision or pain in eyesAltered mental state, confusionSwelling in cheeks and eyesToothache, loosening of teethBlack crusts in the nose’ Who is more at risk of White Fungus infection?Both White and Black fungus prey on people with low immunity. Along with this, people suffering from diabetes, cancer, critical illness or a patient admitted in ICU are more prone to black fungus. At the same time, the white fungus attacks people with co-morbidities. People with cancer, excess blood sugar are more prone to white fungus. How white fungus spreads in the body?According to AIIMS professor Dr. Kaushal Verma, the white fungus begins from the tongue or private parts due to which, it makes the tongue white. It then spreads to other organs along with lungs, brains, food pipes. According to Dr. Pankaj Aggarwal, the first one has to avoid getting Covid infection. Therefore it is important to strengthen the immunity. Do not overuse steroids during covid treatment. Steroids should be given only when the oxygen levels go down and pneumonia occurs. When the condition is stable, reduce the number of steroids, so that there is no problem of blood sugar fluctuation. White and black fungus infections can be avoided in these ways. DOCTORS in India have warned that white fungus could infect Covid patient’s lungs and it could be as deadly as the black mould outbreak.It comes after medics in India said that black fungus had been rotting organs and limbs of some patients.Mucormycosis is caused by a group of moulds called mucormycetes which live in the environment in rotting vegetables and fruit, bread, soils and plantsOne expert warned that the white fungus could even appear in patients who have already recovered from the coronavirus.Dr S N Singh, who is head of microbiology at Patna Medical College in Bihar, India, said like the black fungus, white fungus was also likely to be seen in diabetic patients.The black fungal infection is called mucormycosis and is caused by a group of moulds called mucormycetes which live in the environment in rotting vegetables and fruit, bread, soils and plants. Dr Singh explained that the white fungus could be just as deadly if it finds a passage to the lungs in immuno-compromised people.Dr Singh did however say that the presence of Candida had been found in the lungs of patients.Candida is a fungal infection caused by yeast and normally lives on the skin or inside the body in places such as the mouth, throat, gut, and vagina, without causing any problems.But for some people it can cause itchiness or irritation.Candida is a fungal infection caused by yeast and normally lives on the skin or inside the body in places such as the mouth, throat, gut, and vagina, without causing any problems. But for some people it can cause itchiness or irritation. According to experts, hot and humid conditions, as well being on oxygen support for a long time, are all causes of both black and white fungal infections.Indian has been bombarded with corona virus cases in the last month and many hospitals have had to pack patients in, treating them in cramped conditions with many receiving oxygen.Mucormycosis mainly affects people who have health problems or take medicines that lower the body’s ability to fight germs and sickness.

Title:- SPEAKING EYES By Monalisa Parida In the forest, a tree never dies
In a sea, a river never dies In air, a breath never dies
But I die, For the thoughts of your love.
Don’t worry, I will not be there tomorrow my love, Know this,

WILL THE US EXIT-STRATEGY FROM AFGHANISTAN WILL SUCCEED OR FALTER. SUHAIB ASHRAF BHAT. The US exit strategy without completely eradicating terrorism in the region can be equated with the US pack-up just after the Cold War in 1992. They left their most allied ally- Pakistan- at the mercy of terrorists in the offing- the former Mujahideens against the Soviet Union. These Mujahideens turned into the Taliban later and that cost of the US haste exit strategy was suffered by Pakistan. Death of Osama does not mean the end of terrorism. We would not like to go into the controversy of how and why the war on terror began and how best America could muster its results. But the fact remains that the mess created the US in the post-9/11 haste must not be left for Pakistan again. In a speech on April 14, President Joe Biden announced the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan. “It is time to end the forever war,” he declared. Set to begin on May 1, the process will be completed by September 11, 2021, the 20th anniversary of 9/11. What are the implications for Afghanistan, the U.S., and the wider region? The American withdrawal of troops in Afghanistan has left essential questions of peace in Afghanistan in the air. Without human rights as the primary priority when exiting, there is a risk of violence against the most vulnerable members of society and a potential collapse of the government. The violence has continued in Afghanistan following President Biden’s announcement that American troops will be departing Afghanistan. On May 8th, 2021, a horrific bombing outside Sayed Ul-Shuhada high school is a reminder of the deadly conflict that will continue beyond the American departure. The violent attack is the deadliest attack in 2021. The Afghanistan Papers report by the Washington Post found that the American government and military officials failed to understand the necessary stabilization strategies and programs to tailor to Afghanistan. As a result, the stabilization in Afghanistan rarely lasted longer than where the coalition troops with physically located. While the stabilization efforts have been abysmal, the cost has been astronomical. According to a Brown University Study, the nearly decade-long war has cost the United States a total of 2.26 trillion dollars. It will continue to cost Americans upon their departure from the region. The Biden administration decision to disengage militarily from Afghanistan by September 11 may seem warranted, perhaps even overdue, after a commitment of two decades. After the Soviets bailed out of Afghanistan in 1989, the U.S. decided that it had little stake in what happened in the country and the region. Virtually all government assistance ceased. America decided to let the Afghans sort out their differences and left Pakistan, erstwhile partner in the jihad against communism, to fend for itself in coping with the fallout of the decade-long Afghan conflict. What America got in Afghanistan was a bloody, anarchic, fratricidal civil war, the rise of the Taliban and the settling in of Al-Qaeda.
For the first time in two decades, the United States says it will have no troops and contractors in Afghanistan and the CIA and Special Forces teams that have led the search for Al Qaeda’s remaining operatives will no longer work from bases in the eastern part of the country.In recent days, the Pentagon began a “retrograde” of its forces in the country, which include what it says are some 2,500 service members, a few hundred special operations troops and some 18,000 contractors. NATO is conducting its own drawdown. The withdrawal could be complete as early as July. President Biden placed a Sept. 11 deadline for the pullout, 20 years after the Al Qaeda terrorist attacks in the U.S.Biden administration officials say that the threat from Al Qaeda has been sharply reduced since the U.S. invasion in 2001 and that it will be possible to keep tabs on the militant groups in Afghanistan from outside the country. Even before Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden’s killing in 2011 in Pakistan, the group’s ranks were decimated and much of its leadership killed or captured. If a threat of a terrorist attack on the United States or its interests is detected, the Biden administration officials insist, the Pentagon or CIA could strike inside landlocked Afghanistan — with air attacks from faraway bases or Special Forces teams inserted on so-called “capture or kill missions.” “We will maintain an over-the-horizon capability to suppress future threats to the homeland,” Biden said in an address to Congress. He added that Afghanistan is no longer the only location from which militants threaten the U.S and its allies, naming Yemen, Syria, Somalia and “other places.” Fighter planes flying from aircraft carriers and longer-range bombers from air bases in the Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean and even the United States could strike insurgent fighters whose locations are fixed by surveillance drones, communications intercepts and informant networks. But many uncertainties remain about that strategy, including whether any of Afghanistan’s neighbours will agree to let the U.S. base forces or surveillance drones on their territory. If not, the U.S. will have to rely on forces operating from American bases in the Persian Gulf. Al Qaeda of 2021 is a far smaller organization with less reach, while the United States has built a counter-terrorism capability and familiarity with Afghanistan far exceeding anything it had before 2001. “There will be some degradation in terms of our ability to know exactly what’s going on,” Zalmay Khalilzad, the administration’s negotiator on Afghanistan, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “But we believe, given the nature of the threat right now that we would get adequate warning.” Al Qaeda has fewer than 200 members in south Asia, most of them in Afghanistan, Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier, the head of the Defence Intelligence Agency, said. The group’s second-ranking leader, Ayman Zawahiri, though suffering severe health problems, is still believed to be alive, hiding possibly in Afghanistan, while other leaders are said to be in Iran, according to the agency. “There was little discernible activity out of the group” last year and “throughout 2021, [Al Qaeda] very likely will be unable to conduct terrorist attacks,” Berrier added, in written testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee. Instead, the group will “bolster its relationship with the Taliban.” That relationship is the core U.S. concern.Under the terms of a 2020 withdrawal agreement with the Trump administration, the Taliban vowed to prevent Afghan territory under its control from being used by terrorist groups to launch attacks on the U.S. and its allies. U.S. officials insist that the deal requires the Taliban to sever its ties with Al Qaeda, but U.S. intelligence officials do not expect that to occur. What happens to that deal after Biden delayed Trump’s May 1 withdrawal date is unclear. Despite publicly distancing themselves from Al Qaeda in private talks with U.S. officials, the Taliban “very likely maintains close ties with the militants at the local level, often through family ties due to years of intermarriage” in Afghanistan and Pakistan, said a senior U.S. official familiar with intelligence assessments about the relationship. A statement posted on the “Voice of Jihad” Taliban website in October said the group had no obligation to sever ties with Al- Qaeda under the U.S.-Taliban deal, the official noted. Taliban representatives, however, insist they can contain any extremists on Afghan soil. “Al Qaeda was in Afghanistan before Taliban. All those countries now complaining about them supported them at the time of the Soviet invasion, and we now inherited them,” said Suhail Shaheen, a Taliban representative in Qatar.
