Haji Mastan – The White Don of Mumbai’s Underworld
Whenever the history of Mumbai’s underworld is told, the very first name that comes to mind is Haji Mastan Mirza. He was the man who rose from the streets of poverty and built such a vast smuggling network that he became famous as a “Don.” But unlike ordinary gangsters, his personality was very different. He believed more in building connections and using intelligence rather than noise, violence, or bloodshed. Early Life Haji Mastan’s real name was Mastan Mirza. He was born on 1 March 1926 in Madras (today’s Chennai) in a poor but respectable Muslim family. His father, Abdul Aziz Mirza, was a craftsman and laborer, while his mother was a housewife who wished her son would live a simple life. Mastan had two brothers and three sisters, making it a large but modest household. Poverty and hardship eventually pushed the family to Mumbai, in search of better work opportunities. In Mumbai, Mastan started working at a very young age. He worked in a slipper factory and did several other small jobs. But his dreams were bigger. Poverty taught him that respect and luxury cannot be achieved only through hard work, but also through smartness and seizing opportunities. This mindset gradually led him into the world of the underworld. The White Don Haji Mastan’s personality was unique. He always dressed in white clothes and shoes, which is why people also called him the “White Don.” Unlike other gangsters, he didn’t raise his voice or show muscle power—his silent and dignified presence was enough to create fear. His main business was smuggling. From Dubai and the Middle East, he brought in gold, electronics, and expensive goods, which he sold in Mumbai’s black market. His network was so wide that even port and airport employees worked for him. Containers opened easily, and goods spread throughout the city without resistance. His greatest strength was that he used brains more than weapons. Even police and politicians hesitated to go against him. Although he didn’t directly engage in violence, his name alone carried so much weight that no one could do business in his territory without his permission. Traders knew that big deals were only possible with his approval. Ordinary people also saw him not as a street thug but as a true Don. His influence reached the police, politicians, and even Bollywood, which made opposing him almost impossible. Bollywood and Lifestyle Haji Mastan carefully built a network of trusted men—airport and port workers, local agents, and loyal aides. At the same time, he also entered the world of Bollywood. Many big actors and producers stayed close to him. It is said that he invested money in several films and even handled distribution for some projects. He had a deep love for the film industry. Big movie stars often attended his gatherings. He enjoyed luxury cars, bungalows, and lavish parties. His all-white appearance became his trademark. At the same time, he occasionally helped the poor, which is why some people saw him as a Robin Hood-like figure who not only worked for himself but also for others. Family Life Despite his underworld empire, Haji Mastan maintained ties with his parents and siblings. His parents were simple and religious and did not approve of his illegal activities, but they could not stop him either. Mastan continued to support them financially so they could live comfortably. His brothers and sisters lived ordinary lives and were not directly part of his “business world.” Haji Mastan married Sophia, a Bollywood actress who resembled the famous actress Madhubala. Sophia worked in a few films but didn’t find much success and later settled into family life. Mastan gave her a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle. They had children too. According to some sources, their son was named Shoaib Mirza and their daughter Shaheen Mirza. However, the children chose to live normal lives, away from their father’s illegal trade. Death and Legacy Haji Mastan’s life ended on 9 June 1994, when he died of a heart attack in Mumbai. His death created a mixed reaction across the city. Some people said a major smuggler had died, while others said a man who sometimes helped the poor was gone. To his admirers, he was the “Smart Don,” while to critics, he was the founder of Mumbai’s organized crime world. He was buried in Mumbai, where his grave still exists, and people sometimes visit to offer prayers. [...] Read more
Why does the United States want Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan?
The idea of Bagram Airbase did not suddenly occur to the United States; in fact, they had been working on it for several months. Trump himself admitted this and said that one group, however, is still obstructing this matter (i.e., the Taliban). Therefore, Trump has now issued a direct threat, saying that Bagram must be handed back to America at all costs, otherwise be prepared for the consequences. On the other hand, Pakistan’s Afghan border is continuously plagued by civil strife. Not only that, but Khawaja Asif has even declared Afghanistan as an enemy. Pakistan had already spoken about nominating Trump for the Nobel Prize, so if America needs Pakistan’s help regarding the Bagram base, Pakistan will surely add weight to America’s side. Pakistan’s neighboring country, Iran, has repeatedly said that regarding the ceasefire with Israel, it fears that Israel might restart the war. If that happens, the importance of Bagram Airbase will increase significantly. On the other side, Saudi Arabia has historically considered Iran its rival, and Pakistan has already signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia. So, in the face of rising fears of war, what will Pakistan do? Pakistan will do what it has always done: in case of any aggression against Iran, it will only offer condemnation and moral support—nothing beyond that. [...] Read more

Gavin Newsom Signs California Mask Ban for Law Enforcement Including ICE Agents
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 49 on Saturday, prohibiting most law enforcement officers, including federal ICE agents, from covering their faces during operations starting January 2026, as part of measures to protect immigrants’ access to services and limit data sharing with federal authorities. Federal officials, including Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, rejected the law’s applicability to ICE, citing the Supremacy Clause, and directed agents to continue masking for safety. The signing followed Newsom’s criticism of masked ICE raids as dystopian, but a press office post stating DHS Secretary Kristi Noem would ‘have a bad day’ prompted a Secret Service threat assessment.

Breaking News: Trump Vows to Retake Bagram Air Base, Afghan Foreign Minister Responds Strongly
Kabul (News Desk): Former U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that “America will take back Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.” His statement has drawn a sharp reaction from the Afghan Foreign Minister, who firmly rejected the idea and warned against any foreign interference in Afghanistan. The Afghan Foreign Minister stated: “Any power that has once been defeated in Afghanistan cannot dare to return. If anyone wishes, let them try again. History is clear—first the British came and failed, then America came, and its so-called superpower was buried in the dust. No one in the world today can dare to invade Afghanistan, and if they do, the outcome is already known.” He further added that Afghanistan is now the only country in the world where the United States no longer maintains a military base, emphasizing that the Afghan people will never tolerate foreign domination again. Political analysts suggest that Trump’s statement could spark fresh debate in the region, as Bagram Air Base has long been considered one of the most strategic military installations in Afghanistan’s modern history.

Trump Signs Proclamation Imposing $100,000 Annual H-1B Visa Fee
President Donald Trump signed a proclamation requiring companies to pay $100,000 per year for each H-1B visa worker, along with stricter wage requirements, to curb program abuse and prioritize American hires. The policy applies to new and renewal applications and introduces a ‘gold card’ program for wealthy investors offering expedited visas for up to $2 million. Tech companies dependent on visas from India and China anticipate significant disruptions, as the change aims to generate revenue and encourage domestic training while critics highlight potential losses in innovation and risks of offshoring.
