Talha Saqib
Well, I am Talha. An introverted fellow pursuing a degree in Computer Science from FAST-NUCES. In past, I ve been a freelance graphic designer which I still am to some extent. My deep interest in technology and reporting has made me do what I do here - cover tech news. I may look like a nerd but I am more about movies, TV shows, anime, art and especially video games. In any case, you can reach me out on Twitter: TalhaSaqib101 and Facebook: talha.saqib.9
Major new research project to help pupils promote peace and make sense of the violent past
Experts have begun a major new research project to help pupils around the world to use history and heritage to promote peace and make sense of past violence.
Members of the new Education, Justice and Memory Network (EdJAM) will work to give young people creative opportunities to discuss, make sense of and respond to war, conflict and brutality.
The project is funded through a £2 million grant from the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Global Challenges Research Funding (GCRF) Collective Programme.
Experts in the network will help to spread the word about pioneering creative ways educators and others are helping to teach and learn about the violent past.
Najam Discusses India-Russia-US Realignment
On December 15, 2020, Adil Najam, Dean of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, appeared on
Indus News‘ “In Focus” to discuss the relationships between India, Russia, and the United States as well as recent Russian comments that India is being manipulated by the West.
As Najam discussed during the program, there is a natural tendency for India to drift towards the United States. He stated that this move is not just related to China but is mostly driven by Indian interest in the U.S. that have tremendously grown in recent years.
My father, Baba, as we call him, had to go to Lahore and Islamabad on an official assignment. The pandemic was touching its lowest ebb, so he decided to take my mother and my siblings along with him in his car.
What ensued next was a haphazard process of packing for this suddenly planned excursion and getting leave from our schools, etc. Armed with masks, sanitisers and all other necessities of travel, we left our home one September morning two hours before sunrise. Knowing that the Covid-19 virus was active and all around, we took snacks with us so that we won’t have to stop at roadside restaurants.
