No Time to Panic – Rebuttal to Democracy 911! Guest Author Jagdish Patel
Satish Bhatnagar’s article “Democracy Calling 911!” is a sad commentary on polarization in our home America, and our country of birth India.

Having taught in Malaysia (2.5 years) and in the Sultanate of Oman (5 months), both theocratic Islamic states, I fully appreciate the Abraham Lincoln’s famous words on democracy – it is the government of the people, by the people, andRead More
