While Solitude is ostensibly [Vijay]'s story, [David Davidar] interweaves his tale with the words of an unpublished treatise on past leaders of India, written by Vijay's mentor Mr. Sorabjee. In this fashion, Davidar manages the not inconsiderable feat of seamlessly couching a diatribe on India's "compact with the Gods" within a personal drama of sizable power. As Mr. Sorabjee ends his essay with words of hope, asking the young to "fight in whatever way you can to restore sanity and decency to our nation," so too does Davidar, arguing that the solutions to such religious dilemmas are far more complicated than the overt easiness of blind fundamentalism would have us believe.
The purpose of this article is to explore the effects of counter-terrorism on Canadian democracy and multiculturalism. The democratic and multicultural nature of Canadian society has raised a number of questions about the ability of individual rights and group identities to prosper within the confines of counter-terrorist legislation and actions.

[Lloyd Axworthy]: God forbid. However the Mumbai massacre is a dire warning. The Lashkar-e-Taiba militants based in Pakistan have transformed their goal from simply regaining Kashmir to establishing a Muslim regime in South Asia. Again the answer lies in bolstering the governance of Pakistan against such radical groups. [Kim Speers]: Despite the recent war rhetoric and military brinkmanship, it is unlikely India and Pakistan will go to war in the coming weeks. Yet the tension will not disappear between Hindu India and Islamic Pakistan and we can likely expect continued conflict in 2009. Axworthy: The recently released U.S. report A World at Risk predicts that a nuclear weapon will be used by terrorists somewhere in the world by 2013. They also suggest there are pragmatic solutions. Not ...

In the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, members and leaders of the Muslim community in this country have worked to educate Canadians about the difference between Islam and the beliefs of extremist groups exploiting the tenets of Islam to suit their violent agendas. Many have been outspoken about the need to grapple with isolated pockets of extremism. In Manitoba, Hamad Salih, president of the Sudanese Human Rights Association, noted yesterday that work now extends to the home, to parents, who, with local leaders, must show the youth the difference between the teachings of the Qur'an and the warped ideology of the religious extremists. Vigilance for any hint of destructive fundamentalism must be heightened, he said.

Common elements that describe "the family" that are found across classes, cultures, and genders in Singapore include the "family as basic social unit" carrying connotations of "stability", "mutual support", "haven" and "warmth". The country's Muslim population, however, tends to have larger families because children are perceived as gifts from God. The Muslim population has the highest average number of children, at 3.1, as compared to the Chinese average of 2.5 and the Indian average of 2.4 (Census of Population 2000). In contrast, the Chinese and Indian populations tend to be more skeptical about family life. In response to the question of "what is the family," Sue, a 49-year-old working class Chinese mother, shrugged and answered "the usual ... you know what I mean ..." indicating a ...
