Abhijit Naskar
“We have won the battle of making the White House human again, but the war has just begun - the war against systemic racism, against misogyny, against homophobia, against islamophobia, against gun violence, and against post-pandemic health and economic crisis. So, though we may celebrate the victory for a short while, we mustn't lose sight of the issues - we must now actually start working as one people - as the American people to heal the wounds on the soul of our land of liberty. It's time to once again start dreaming and working towards the impossible dream - the dream of freedom not oppression, the dream of assimilation not discrimination, and above all, the dream of ascension not descension.”
Abhijit Naskar

John Oliver
“While skepticism is healthy, cynicism, real cynicism, is toxic.”
John Oliver

“We should not blame a victim,we should not be afraid of oppressors,we should raise our voices against oppressors,we should console the people who are being oppressed,we should be afraid of a person who is being oppressed because there is no barrier between him and Allah(SWT) during his Supplications.”
Peerzada Shuab Ahmad

Cory Booker
“I celebrate ideals of individual excellence, self-reliance, and personal responsibility… But rugged individualism alone did not get us to the moon. It did not end slavery, win World War II, pass the Voting Rights Act, or bring down the Berlin Wall. It didn’t build our dams, bridges, and highways, or map the human genome. Our most lasting accomplishments require mutual effort and shared sacrifice; this is an idea that is woven into the very fabric of this country.”
Cory Booker, United: Thoughts on Finding Common Ground and Advancing the Common Good
