  Tipu formed a large corps of young Muslim lads whom he called his sons and now provided them with handsome young wives from the Hindu fold. These atrocities were perpetrated during the wet months of 1785. In Malabar he had converted, in one stroke, a hundred thousand Hindus to his faith. Portuguese missionaries wrote that 'he tied naked Christians and Hindus to the legs of elephants and made the elephants move around till the bodies of the helpless victims were torn to pieces.' In 1786 he declared himself emperor and had the khutba read in his name in all the mosques throughout his kingdom. His contention was that 'those idiots who introduce the name of Shah Alam in the khutba act through ignorance since the real condition of the so called emperor is this: that he is actually enslaved and a servant of the Scindia. So to pronounce the name of someone dependent on the infidels while reciting the sacred khutba was blasphemy.

  “As you read this blurb, you know you would never confess to a crime you didn’t commit. Read this compelling study and you’ll change your mind. Dr. Kassin lays bare the dirty tricks used by police to make innocents confess. And he describes, convincingly, what should be done to stop them.”– John Grisham, #1 New York Times-bestselling authorWritten by the world's leading expert on false confessions, this landmark book reveals the psychology behind why innocent men, women, and children, intensely stressed and befuddled by the promises, threats, trickery, and deception of a police interrogation, are duped into confession, no matter how horrific the crime. Featuring riveting case studies, highly original research, work done in tandem with the Innocence Project, and quotes from individuals who confessed to crimes they did not commit, Duped tells the story of how this happens, how the system turns a blind eye, and how to make it stop.Why do people confess to crimes they did not commit? And, surely, those cases must be rare? In fact, it happens all the time—in police stations, workplaces, public schools, and the military. Psychologist Saul Kassin, the world’s leading expert on false confessions, explains how interrogators trick innocent people into confessing, and then how the criminal justice system deludes us into believing these confessions.Duped reveals how innocent men, women, and children, intensely stressed and befuddled by lawful weapons of psychological interrogation, are induced into confession, no matter how horrific the crime. By featuring riveting case studies, highly original research, work by the Innocence Project, and quotes from real-life exonerees, Kassin tells the story of how false confessions happen, and how they corrupt forensics, witnesses, and other evidence, force guilty pleas, and follow defendants for their entire lives— even after they are exonerated by DNA.Starting in the 1980’s, Dr. Kassin pioneered the scientific study of interrogations and confessions. Since then, he has been on the forefront of research and advocacy for those wrongfully convicted by police-induced false confessions. Examining famous cases like the Central Park jogger case and Amanda Knox case, as well as stories of ordinary innocent people trapped into confession, Dr. Kassin exposes just how widespread this problem is. Concluding with actionable solutions and proposals for legislative reform, Duped shows why the stigma of confession persists and how we can reform the criminal justice system to make it stop.

  The Rise of Social Media - How...

  The rise of social media has reshaped the way people connect, communicate, and consume information. Over the past two decades, digital platforms have evolved from niche online communities to global networks that influence nearly every aspect of modern life. Social media is no longer just a tool for staying in touch with friends and family—it has become a powerful force in politics, business, entertainment, and culture. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, understanding the impact of these platforms is essential.  
    
  Social media's rapid development can be traced back to the early days of the internet, when online forums and chat rooms allowed people to engage with others beyond geographical boundaries. The introduction of platforms like MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter in the early 2000s marked the beginning of a new era of digital interaction. These sites enabled users to create personal profiles, share updates, and engage in real-time conversations, setting the stage for the social media boom that followed. Today, platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn serve diverse purposes, from entertainment and networking to news dissemination and activism.  
    
  The influence of social media extends far beyond personal connections. Businesses have embraced these platforms to market products, engage with customers, and build brand identities. Political campaigns rely on social media to reach voters and shape public opinion. Activists use digital platforms to mobilize communities and raise awareness about pressing social issues. At the same time, the widespread use of social media has introduced challenges, including concerns about data privacy, misinformation, cyberbullying, and the mental health effects of constant digital engagement.
