Halal market expands rapidly, set to hit $12 trillion by 2030

By Syed Ali Mujtaba*  
The global halal economy is experiencing unprecedented growth, with projections estimating its worth at $12 trillion by 2030. Over the past nine years, the industry has expanded at a remarkable pace, says Mohamed Jinna, founder and director of Halal India, a private limited company.  
Jinna highlights the phenomenal growth of the halal sector, noting that it initially stood at $1 trillion. However, due to rigorous efforts in halal certification and accreditation, the market has surged to a valuation of $8 trillion. Looking ahead, it is expected to reach an astounding $12 trillion within the next five years.  
While halal products have traditionally catered to Muslim consumers, the industry has gained increasing traction among non-Muslims as well, drawn by its reputation for quality, safety, and reliability.  
Jinna’s vision for Halal India extends beyond food certification—it embodies a holistic approach to life. He firmly believes that halal is not merely about dietary practices but a comprehensive philosophy that promotes ethical consumerism and well-being.  
His commitment to the halal movement remains steadfast, driven by a passion to foster a world where access to safe, healthy, and nutritious food is universal. For Jinna, halal principles serve as a foundation for global unity and harmony.  
"Let’s unite in promoting the principles of halal, which not only enhance our quality of life but also bring us together as a global community," Jinna often emphasizes.  
As a visionary leader, he continues to inspire a new generation to join his noble mission of building an inclusive and peaceful world. His work at Halal India stands as a testament to his dedication and transformative vision.

Arrival of USS Lincoln: A ‘leisure trip’ to Thailand or a neo-colonial move to commodify women?

By Benyasiri Eimviriyapong   The arrival of the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) for a ‘leisure trip’ in Thailand before returning to its campaign of destruction against the people of West Asia demands immediate interrogation and opposition. For us Thai people, and those in sites of American plunder across the globe, this a rattling of the US’ cold war colonial chains on its most loyal lap dog, while conducting a war of aggression in Iran and the ongoing genocide in Palestine. In allowing the USS Lincoln to dock, the Thai ruling elites are once again facilitating a system of imperial violence that extends far beyond Southeast Asian borders, a system which in our case, is predicated on sexual violence and femicide.

Pilgrimage or pollution? The waste crisis of Indian faith

By Raj Kumar Sinha*  In today's times, there are certain issues that are constantly talked about and discussed, yet no visible impact seems to be made. Beyond water, soil, and pollution, one crisis that continues to be overlooked is waste. Like other life-threatening problems, waste too is gradually moving toward burying and obliterating us. After the Kanwar Yatra in Haridwar, approximately 8,000 tonnes of waste were left behind on the riverbanks, including bottles filled with urine. 

The 'Dr' debate masks a larger crisis in allied-health education

By Dr P K Gupta*  India’s allied-health professions have long operated in a fragmented landscape of universities, hospitals, State authorities and private institutions, each with its own nomenclature, curriculum and standards. The National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions Act, 2021 was meant to correct this by creating a unified national framework for education, professional regulation and institutional recognition. Few dispute the need for such oversight. The real question is whether standardisation is quietly becoming synonymous with longer courses, additional internships and new professional titles—changes that risk masking deeper gaps in clinical training, institutional capacity and affordability.
