Asif Adnan begins with the iconic phrase “Knowledge is power” but challenges its simplicity. In this eye-opening talk, he explores how true power lies not just in acquiring knowledge but in controlling its definition and distribution. Who decides what counts as knowledge—and by what standards? Adnan critiques the Western domination of global education systems, revealing how colonial and imperial forces used knowledge as a tool of control. He also deconstructs secularism, arguing it’s not neutral but another biased ideology. This is a bold reflection on the complex relationship between knowledge, education, power, and belief.
