Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Since October 7, 2023, tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian babies, children, women and men have been killed in Gaza.

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

There are PhD holders who never forget to put the prefix "Dr" before their names, even in social exchanges.

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Professor Yunus’ eyes hold the tears of all Bangladeshis who suffered under Hasina’s iron-fisted autocratic regime.

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

If feminist groups in Bangladesh choose to remain hushed on the subject of gender-based violence in general, that will perhaps be pardonable on the ground of limited human ability.

Charles Dickens, Colonialism, and the Slave Trade New
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Although Charles Dickens condoned colonial exploitation, no one censured him then for his unprincipled and opportunistic stance.
