Who is Mahmoud Khalil? From double refugee to the face of a campus protest movement
Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University student who was released after 104 days in federal immigration detention for protesting Israel's actions in Gaza, had one message: 'No human is illegal'. In the debate over student activism, immigration, and free speech in the United States, one name has unexpectedly emerged: Mahmoud Khalil. The 29-year-old Palestinian activist, who once fled war-torn Syria as a teenager and later worked on peace and justice initiatives in the Middle East, is now the face of resistance against what civil liberties groups are calling a crackdown on campus dissent under US President Donald Trump. Khalil walked free on Friday, released by a judge who criticised the government's case against him as unjustified and politically motivated. 'This shouldn't have taken three months,' Khalil said as he stepped out of the remote Louisiana detention facility, finally on his way back to New York to reunite with his US citizen wife and newborn son, whom he had never met, as per The Guardian. Born in Damascus in 1995 to Palestinian refugee parents, Khalil grew up with conflict as a constant backdrop. He was just 18 when he fled Syria during the civil war, eventually making his way to Lebanon. There, he taught himself English and worked with Syrian refugees while studying computer science, according to The Guardian. His journey then led him to jobs with the British Foreign Office and the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), before arriving in New York as a graduate student at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs in 2023. It was on that Ivy League campus that Khalil became a central figure in a student protest movement. As a lead negotiator for Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), he stood at the frontlines of efforts demanding the university divest from Israel over its war in Gaza. While many demonstrators wore masks to protect their identities, Khalil spoke openly on microphones, on camera, and in front of the media. To many, he became the voice of the encampment. Despite not being arrested at the protests, Khalil's public visibility made him a target. On March 8, federal agents arrested him at his Manhattan apartment. Though a legal US resident with a green card, he was detained as the Trump administration sought to deport him, citing his participation in pro-Palestinian demonstrations and an alleged misrepresentation on his immigration forms, an accusation Khalil denies. According to The Associated Press, US District Judge Michael Farbiarz, who ordered his release, criticised the government's case, stating that Khalil posed no flight risk, was not a danger to the community, and had not been accused of any violence. 'Period, full stop,' the judge said in court. However, the Department of Homeland Security immediately pushed back, announcing plans to appeal the release. An immigration judge in Louisiana had, on the same day, issued a removal order, raising the possibility of a drawn-out legal battle ahead. His wife, Dr Noor Abdalla, who gave birth while Khalil was detained, said the ordeal had been a nightmare. 'We know this ruling does not begin to address the injustices… But today, we are celebrating Mahmoud coming home.' Khalil has surrendered his passport and cannot travel internationally. However, he has been granted limited travel within the US for court appearances and family visits. The Trump administration may still pursue deportation on other grounds, but for now, Khalil is free. Speaking outside the detention facility, Khalil spoke on the irony of his journey. 'This country claims to champion liberty and human rights,' he said. 'But my experience has shown me another reality. Still, I believe justice will prevail,' he said.

Nitish will be CM if NDA wins elections, says JD(U)
Patna: Amid fresh speculation over the NDA's chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming assembly elections, the JD(U) on Saturday reiterated that Nitish Kumar would be the alliance's nominee. The party cited the BJP's past statements affirming that the leader who spearheads the campaign would ultimately take the top post. The renewed debate followed an interview given by Union home minister Amit Shah to an English daily. When asked who would be the NDA's CM candidate, Shah said on Friday, "Only time will decide who will be the Bihar CM. But what is clear is that we will fight this election with Nitish as chief minister." Reacting to the comment, JD(U) spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said, "All NDA constituents, including their state presidents and Amit Shahji, have clearly said that the election would be fought under Nitish's leadership. So, naturally, he will be the CM if the people give him the mandate. The public also desires this." He dismissed suggestions of ambiguity, saying that even PM Narendra Modi has invoked Lalu Prasad's 'jungle raj' while affirming Nitish's leadership. "Even the 2020 elections were fought under Nitish and he became CM," Neeraj Kumar added. Highlighting the NDA's unified stance, Kumar said, "The alliance has adopted the slogan '2025, Phir Se Nitish.' When this is the message on posters and in slogans, Shah's statement must be understood in that context." However, leader of the opposition Tejashwi Prasad Yadav took a swipe at JD(U), saying that Nitish's authority had diminished to such an extent that ticket distribution would now be done by Shah.

The paradox of English: It is both a foreign tongue and a deeply embedded Indian language
Alongside their offensive against Urdu, India's language nationalists appear to have turned their ire on English. That is what one could conclude from the declaration by Union Home Minister Amit Shah at a book launch in New Delhi on Thursday, when he predicted that 'soon a time would come when those speaking English will feel ashamed'. 'In our lifetime, we will see a society in which those speaking English will feel ashamed, that day is not far,' he said. 'I believe that the languages of our country are the ornament of our culture. Without them, we would not have been Bharatiya. Our country, its history, its culture, our dharma – if these have to be understood, it cannot be done in foreign languages.' Shah's statement quickly sparked a political backlash. Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, countered forcefully: 'English is not a dam, it is a bridge. English is not shameful, it is empowering. English is not a chain – it is a tool to break the chains.' Other opposition figures, including Trinamool Congress leaders Derek O'Brien and Sagarika Ghose, echoed this sentiment, slamming the home minister for what they saw as a regressive and divisive stance. Echoes of Mulayam Singh Shah's remarks recall a moment 35 years ago when Mulayam Singh Yadav, who was then chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, launched his own crusade against English. In May 1990, Yadav infamously declared English to be 'the language of foreigners and the elite', blaming it for perpetuating socio-economic disparity and cultivating feelings of inferiority among non-English speakers. His one-point mission: Angrezi hatao. Banish English. In a curious twist, Yadav, a self-declared supporter of Urdu urged Urdu-speaking communities to unite with Hindi speakers to oppose English. Urdu, having only recently been granted official status as Uttar Pradesh's second language, was now being weaponised against a new linguistic rival. This contradiction is not out of character for Indian politics, where language often becomes a proxy for identity, power and culture. The disdain for English in some Indian political circles can be traced back to the 1950s and '60s, to socialist leader Ram Manohar Lohia and even earlier, to Mohandas Gandhi and the Indian National Congress. Gandhi viewed English as an alien imposition that had displaced indigenous languages from their rightful place in Indian society. At Independence, the Indian Constitution made Hindi the official language, but allowed English to continue for a transitional period of 15 years. This compromise was pragmatic, not sentimental. English was seen as a necessary link language in a culturally and linguistically diverse nation. However, the efforts to impose Hindi on South India in the 1960s sparked widespread resistance and deepened the North-South linguistic divide. Even today, English continues to be viewed by many as a colonial vestige, despite its extensive indigenisation. The Lohia doctrine Lohia considered English to be not just a colonial leftover, but a barrier to original thought and mass education. He argued that true educational reform and people-oriented governance were possible only if conducted in the people's languages. Recognising India's cultural diversity, Lohia made exceptions for South Indian states, allowing them to retain English for inter-state and central communication for 50 years. However, his nuanced vision was distorted by his followers. The anti-English frenzy gained renewed vigour in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, leading to draconian steps like removing English from school curricula altogether. In Bihar in the 1970s, Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur reduced English to an optional subject, resulting in a generation of students branded as the 'Karpoori class' – matriculates without English proficiency. Mulayam Singh Yadav resurrected the campaign in the 1990s, giving it a political legitimacy that had long-lasting social consequences. Misplaced stereotypes Yadav's campaign also triggered unwarranted attacks on Christian institutions, which were accused of using English as a tool for religious conversion and elitist education. This conflation of English with Christianity mirrors the equally irrational equation in the Hindi heartland of Urdu with Islam. Such logic ignores the complex realities of Indian linguistic identity. English may have arrived with colonial Christians, but it soon became a key vehicle for political awakening and nation-building. It was through English that India's founding leaders – from Raja Rammohun Roy to Nehru – engaged with global currents of nationalism, democracy, liberty and modernity. The same language, intended by the British to produce obedient clerks, ended up producing freedom fighters, thinkers and reformers who led India's struggle for independence. More Indian than foreign? Despite its origins, English in India has long shed its colonial skin. It is the medium of scientific advancement, legal systems, administrative governance and higher education. It has played a vital role in the country's post-Independence progress – particularly in the globalisation era. Ironically, many politicians who publicly denounce English still prefer to send their children to English-medium schools. Even in the Hindi heartland, English remains a key administrative language. Today, English enjoys a paradoxical status: both a foreign tongue and a deeply embedded Indian language. English is also the mother tongue of the Anglo Indian community, a recognised minority in India, and serves as an official language in states like Nagaland. As globalisation continues to shape India's economic and cultural landscape, English remains the country's primary interface with the world. To treat it as a threat to Indian identity is to ignore the multifaceted reality of modern India. Language should be a medium of unity, not a tool of discord. English, like all Indian languages, must be valued for its integrative potential, not vilified for its past. The country does not need another round of linguistic chauvinism. Instead, India should recognise the multilingual richness of English – and the maturity to embrace it.
