El nombre Gandhi destaca sobre todos los demás en el panorama político de la India por muy buenas razones. El “alma” de la India moderna –Mahatma Gandhi– llevaba ese apellido; La primera y única primera ministra o jefa de Estado de la India, Indira Gandhi, se casó con ese nombre; y Rajiv Gandhi entró a regañadientes en la política y se convirtió en Primer Ministro de la India como un Gandhi. Dejaron legados positivos, pero fueron asesinados por extremistas con agendas exclusivas y retorcidas. Y resultó que sus muertes contribuyeron al avance de la humanidad. ¿Qué tenían ...

The name Gandhi towers above every other in the political landscape of India for very good reasons. The “Soul” of the modern India—Mahatma Gandhi— bore that last name; India’s first and only female prime minister of head of state—Indira Gandhi—married into the name; and Rajiv Gandhi, reluctantly made it into politics and became the Prime Minister of India as a Gandhi. They left positive legacies, yet they were assassinated by extremists with exclusive and twisted agendas. And as it turned out, their deaths contributed to the advancement of humanity. What was it about these ...

This thoughtful account of Patrice Lumumba provides an insight into why the swift elimination of the legend from the geopolitical developments involving his country plunged Congo into turmoil that it is yet to recover from. Janvier T. Chando highlights Congo's deep trauma as the private possession of King Leopold of Belgium, later as a Belgian colony, and afterward, as a so-called independent state that got disarrayed by a tug-of-war between the cold war rivals. That resulted in the inhuman dictatorship of pro-Western Mobutu Sese Seko, in wars during which millions of Congolese died, in the...

Apodado por muchos expertos como "La guerra más estúpida del mundo", el conflicto de Ucrania es uno que casi nadie vio en el horizonte en 2010. Sin embargo, ahora tiene casi una década. En este conflicto en Ucrania dividida a partes iguales, la política arriesgada por parte de los actores locales en el país, por parte de Occidente que quiere arrastrar a Ucrania a su órbita, y por parte de Rusia que teme perder Ucrania y su seguridad, en el proceso es la norma. Al mismo tiempo, el mundo observa con aparente impotencia cómo Ucrania se desgarra por las costuras. La mayoría de los ...

No continent has experienced half the political assassinations, coup d’états, internal and external wars, civil unrest, and economic upheaval s since the second half of the twentieth century that Africa suffered. Yet, hardly any serious pundit would say that the hands of foreign forces that are out to secure their “so-called interests” in the continent or that want to gain new ones, were not in most of these setbacks. That these external forces have roughly been succeeding with the help of Africans with the evil disposition or Africans ignorant of their game plan is true. Opposed to ...

The 2016 Presidential election will be remembered for ages not only for producing the biggest upset in the history of American politics, but also for the colorfulness of the primaries of both the Democratic and the Republican parties. When Bernie Sanders, the little-known Independent senator from small state Vermont boldly stated that he was a Democratic Socialist, and then began his race for the White House as a Democratic Party candidate, hardly anyone took him seriously. After all, he was up against the entire Democratic Party machinery and their favored candidate Hillary Clinton. Many ...

There is some kind of a sweet innocence in being the real thing, the true inheritor of a legacy, the upholder of the identity others strive to be attached to. In this account, we see two narratives that oppose one another, but that ought to complement each other.

"The Real Ukrainians" is the first part of an account that would take us hand-in-hand through our journey that would make us enlightened regarding the ...

In a Europe dominated by empires in the early years of the twentieth century, ethnic nationalism is challenging the status quo, threatening to throw the continent into an unfathomable turmoil. To hedge against this impending war, the different European leaders embarked on strengthening the alliances they had formed. Appearing the most vulnerable to this phenomenon is the multi-ethnic Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is situated at the heart of Europe and whose citizens come from Europe's three major language groups. But strangely enough, its emperor Franz Josef is loved by the majority of all...

In this succinct account, the author reveals the threads that weave the controversial legacy of the Egyptian military leader and head of state Anwar Al-Sadat, prying into his motivations that led him to war against Israel and that saw him shortly afterwards become an iconic leader for peace in the Middle East by stirring his country onto a path that not only began the transformation of Egypt into a modern state, but that equally alienated Egypt from the rest of the Arab world. The unequivocal nature of Janvier T. Chando’s account sheds a unique light into the legacy of one of Africa’s ...

We understand how the degree of our humanization and the influence that it has on our intellect and intuitive insight is determined by the conditional and unconditional instincts we develop.Imagine how judging from a man’s belief system, perception of the world around him, plans, actions and self-restraints, we can determine his propensity for good or evil, ...

In a world where attitudes and behaviors that were taboo not long ago are now acceptable in a world where the future is frightening to many, we appear to be the helpless onlookers of a process we have no control over. So, finding out that there are underlying efforts by governments, the media, or private groups to influence particular attitudes and social behaviors on a large scale, for the purpose of producing desired results or certain characteristics in particular segments of the population, would be shocking to many people. It is even more shocking when the social engineers are ...
