INDIANS’ VISAS COULD BE REVOKED UNDER A MAJOR NEW U.S. CRACKDOWN

Indians who entered the United States on B-1 business or B-2 tourist visas and later applied for asylum could be among those affected by the Trump administration’s reported plan to revoke up to 200,000 visas.

The proposed action is not limited to Indians. It could affect foreign nationals of different countries who received B-1 or B-2 visas between 2016 and 2026 and later sought asylum in the United States.

Officials said revocation of a visitor visa would not automatically lead to deportation or cancellation of a pending asylum application. The State Department has also not officially confirmed that 200,000 visas will be revoked, saying the number remains subject to an ongoing review.

If implemented on this scale, it could become the largest mass visa revocation in U.S. history and may face legal challenges.

Affected individuals should consult a qualified immigration attorney regarding their specific cases.

Indiana Café Manager Faces Protective-Order Petition After Defending Muslim Teen Employee

Alex Bevins, manager of Uptown Café in Noblesville, Indiana, says he was shocked to learn that a customer is seeking a protective order against him following a confrontation involving a 15-year-old Muslim employee wearing a hijab.

According to the report, the customer asked whether Muslims owned the café and allegedly said Muslims “scare” her after noticing the teenage employee’s hijab. Bevins intervened and asked the customer to leave the restaurant.

The customer later posted a video describing the encounter and reportedly filed a petition for a protective order, alleging harassment. The petition represents the customer’s allegations and has not necessarily been granted by the court.

The incident has received widespread attention online, with many people praising Bevins for standing up for his young employee and condemning religious discrimination.

A hijab should never make an employee—or anyone else—a target of fear, suspicion or humiliation.

Gajera Prashant and Dharaben Bavadiya, two Indian nationals, pleaded guilty for their roles in a PayPal refund scam targeting an elderly victim in Gentry, Arkansas.

Police arrested the pair on April 21 during a sting operation in which an undercover officer posed as an elderly victim. According to investigators, the suspects arrived to collect a package believed to contain nearly $30,000.

Prashant reportedly told investigators that he had been offered $300 to collect the package and knew it contained cash. Bavadiya claimed she had recently arrived in the United States for her clothing business and was forced to participate because her family in India was in danger.

Prashant pleaded guilty on June 29, while Bavadiya entered her plea on August 17. Both received five-year suspended sentences, avoiding immediate imprisonment.

Authorities warn residents never to send or hand over money to anyone claiming that a mistaken PayPal refund must be repaid. Always verify suspicious transactions directly through PayPal’s official website or app.

نام نہاد عزت

آج کل پاکستانی چینل ہم ٹی وی پر ایک ڈرامہ نشر ہو رہا ہے جس کا نام “آپ کی عزت” ہے۔ مگر اس ڈرامے کی کہانی اور اس میں دکھائے جانے والے معاشرتی دوہرے معیار کو دیکھتے ہوئے مجھے محسوس ہوتا ہے کہ اس کا اصل نام “آپ کی عزت” نہیں بلکہ “نام نہاد عزت” ہونا چاہیے تھا۔

اس ڈرامے میں ایک ایسے مرد کی کہانی دکھائی گئی ہے جو شادی کے چودہ سال بعد اپنے سے کئی سال چھوٹی لڑکی سے دوسری شادی کرنے کا فیصلہ کرتا ہے۔ اسے لگتا ہے کہ برسوں تک اس کا گھر سنبھالنے والی بیوی اب موٹی ہوگئی ہے اور پہلے کی طرح دلکش نہیں رہی۔ لیکن وہ یہ بھول جاتا ہے کہ ان چودہ برسوں میں اس عورت نے اپنی جوانی، وقت، خواب اور توانائی اسی گھر، شوہر اور خاندان کے لیے وقف کردی۔

مرد اپنی بیوی کی ظاہری شکل کو بنیاد بنا کر اسے کمتر محسوس کرواتا ہے، اس کے جذبات مجروح کرتا ہے اور دوسری شادی کی تیاری شروع کردیتا ہے۔ حیرت کی بات یہ ہے کہ اس کے اس فیصلے کو اس کی یا خاندان کی عزت کا مسئلہ نہیں سمجھا جاتا۔ بیوی کی توہین کرنا، اس کی وفاداری کو نظرانداز کرنا اور ایک کم عمر لڑکی کی خاطر چودہ سالہ رشتہ داؤ پر لگا دینا بھی بظاہر مرد کی عزت کو نقصان نہیں پہنچاتا۔

لیکن جب وہی بیوی اس تذلیل، بے قدری اور ذہنی اذیت سے دکھی ہوکر گھر سے بھاگ جاتی ہے تو فوراً کہا جاتا ہے کہ اس نے خاندان کی عزت خاک میں ملا دی۔ یہاں سوال یہ پیدا ہوتا ہے کہ عورت کے گھر سے بھاگ جانے کو تو عزت کا مسئلہ بنا دیا گیا، لیکن اسے اس انتہائی قدم تک پہنچانے والے مرد کے رویّے کو عزت کے ترازو میں کیوں نہیں تولا گیا؟

گھر سے بھاگ جانا یقیناً کسی مسئلے کا بہترین حل نہیں، لیکن یہ سوچنا بھی ضروری ہے کہ وہ عورت کس ذہنی اور جذباتی کیفیت سے گزر رہی تھی۔ برسوں کی بے قدری، جسمانی تضحیک اور شوہر کی بے وفائی کے احساس نے اسے اس مقام تک پہنچایا جہاں اسے بھاگنے کے سوا کوئی راستہ دکھائی نہیں دیا۔ اس کے اقدام پر سوال ضرور اٹھایا جاسکتا ہے، مگر اس کے پیچھے موجود وجوہات اور مرد کے کردار کو نظرانداز نہیں کیا جاسکتا۔

عورت کا وزن بڑھ جانا اس کی محبت، وفاداری یا انسان ہونے کی اہمیت کو کم نہیں کرتا۔ وقت اور عمر کے ساتھ جسم بدلتے ہیں۔ اگر ایک شوہر اپنی بیوی کو صرف اس وقت تک محبت اور احترام دے جب تک وہ جوان، دبلی اور خوبصورت نظر آئے تو یہ محبت نہیں بلکہ ایک خود غرضانہ معاہدہ ہے۔

اصل عزت عورت کو خاموش رکھنے میں نہیں بلکہ اس کے وجود، جذبات اور قربانیوں کا احترام کرنے میں ہے۔ اگر مرد دوسری شادی کرے، بیوی کو ذلیل کرے اور اس کی شکل و جسم کو نشانہ بنائے تو عزت سلامت رہتی ہے، لیکن عورت ذہنی اذیت سے تنگ آکر گھر سے بھاگ جائے تو ساری عزت خطرے میں پڑ جاتی ہے—تو پھر ایسی عزت کو **“نام نہاد عزت”** کے علاوہ اور کیا کہا جاسکتا ہے؟

Steve Jobs, Little-Known Muslim Ancestry

Steve Jobs is remembered around the world as the visionary co-founder of Apple, but his family background is a fascinating part of his story that is often overlooked.

Jobs was born in San Francisco in 1955 and was adopted as a baby by Paul and Clara Jobs. His biological father was Abdulfattah “John” Jandali, a Syrian immigrant born in Homs, Syria, who came from a Muslim family. Jandali later studied at the American University of Beirut and earned a doctorate at the University of Wisconsin.

Jobs’ biological mother, Joanne Schieble, came from a Catholic family in Wisconsin. Her father strongly opposed her relationship with Jandali because he was Muslim. The couple ultimately placed their son for adoption.

Years later, Jobs discovered more about his biological family and met his biological sister, novelist Mona Simpson. He also learned more about his Syrian heritage. Interestingly, Jobs apparently encountered his biological father at a restaurant without knowing who he was at the time.
It is important to make one distinction: Steve Jobs himself was not raised as a Muslim, and describing him simply as “a Muslim” would be misleading. His Muslim ancestry came through his biological father, while Jobs was raised by his adoptive parents in California.

His story is a reminder that family history can be surprisingly complex. One of the most influential figures in modern technology had biological roots stretching from California to Syria and a family history shaped by religion, immigration, adoption, and cultural differences.

Steve Jobs’ legacy ultimately became global—but his ancestry was far more diverse and international than many people realize.

Safin T. Rajwani, Aadil Samnani, Nooruddin T. Rajwani, Salim Vadsaria, Raheen S. Dadani and Piyush Vadasariya were arrested following a major drug seizure in DeKalb County, Georgia.

According to the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office, deputies stopped a van on August 4 and allegedly discovered approximately 220 to 250 pounds of suspected ma*****na. The investigation then led authorities to a storage facility, where they reportedly seized about 1,200 boxes containing synthetic THC, psilocybin mushrooms and suspected ma*****na products.

Authorities also confiscated more than $40,000 in cash. The suspected ma*****na products were estimated to have a street value exceeding $2.8 million.

Four suspects face ma*****na-trafficking charges, while the other two face drug-possession charges. All six were taken into custody without incident. The investigation remains active, and the charges are allegations unless proven in court.

Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed, the biological parents of a baby boy born through sur surrogacy, have won a temporary court order reinforcing their parental rights amid a complicated multistate legal battle.

The baby was born in Dallas to McKenna West, an Alaska surrogate, and is receiving specialized medical care for hypoplastic left heart syndrome—a serious condition in which the left side of the heart is underdeveloped.

West claims the California couple pressured her to terminate the pregnancy, an allegation Gilkar and Ahmed strongly deny. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton intervened in support of West.

A Dallas judge ordered that the baby receive lifesaving treatment and remain in Texas. In a separate order, the judge temporarily barred West from making medical decisions for the child or representing herself as his mother.

A California court had already recognized Gilkar and Ahmed as the baby’s legal parents. The case raises significant questions about surrogacy agreements, parental rights and conflicting state laws.

The next court hearing is scheduled for August 25.

Nathan Thomas made history as the youngest professor ever at Miami Dade College, beginning his teaching career at just 18 years and 346 days old.

A remarkable child prodigy, Thomas earned an associate degree in mathematics at 14 and completed bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electrical engineering by 18. Now 20, he teaches engineering and coding while pursuing a law degree at the University of Miami.

Thomas once declined a $100,000 position with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office because accepting it would have required him to abandon his students midway through the semester. He hopes to build a career in intellectual-property law.

His extraordinary journey is a powerful example of talent, dedication and commitment to education.
