The Cause of World Disorder: Why jihadism needs to be defeated on real battlefields, writes Makarand R Paranjape, Ph.D. (Illinois) t.ly/u-aVJ


In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, a third ideology—jihadism—rose as a formidable threat to global peace and stability. Rooted in a militant and conquest-oriented strain of Islam, jihadism was rekindled by the economic and geopolitical shifts, writes Makarand R Paranjape, Ph.D. (Illinois)


According to the French think-tank, Fondation pour l’innovation politique, between 1979 and 2024, Islamist jihad has mounted 66,872 attacks worldwide, killing at least 249,941 people, writes Makarand R Paranjape, Ph.D. (Illinois) t.ly/u-aVJ

#ZohranMamdani is the most discussed political debutant not just in the US but, possibly, all over the free world. As far as India is concerned, the only one who comes close in living memory is #ArvindKejriwal, who stormed into national politics in 2012, writes Makarand R Paranjape, Ph.D. (Illinois)



You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to surmise that #ZohranMamdani represents nothing short of an attack, this time from within, on American capitalism itself. What Al Qaeda terrorists did not succeed in doing, Mamdani might if he wins, writes Makarand R Paranjape, Ph.D. (Illinois)
