Does god exist part (03). Jawed Akhtar/ mufti shumail nadwi

Lyricist Javed Akhtar with Islamic scholar Mufti Shamail Nadwi during a debate moderated by journalist Saurabh Dwivedi on the existence of God, in New Delhi on Saturday. (Express) For at least three millennia, people have debated the existence of God. But has it been the same question always — across centuries, societies, political contexts? An “academic debate” between poet, lyricist, and writer Javed Akhtar and Islamic scholar and Internet personality Mufti Shamail Nadwi, mediated by Saurabh Dwivedi, editor of The Lallantop, at the Constitution Club on Saturday showed that a conversation about God is also about religion, politics, free speech, and moral responsibility.
