Bangladeshi-American prodigy Prof Soborno Isaac Bari has recently declared that he will run for US president in 2048 and vowed to destroy the Taliban during his presidency. He posted a video of his statement on his official YouTube channel Bari Science Lab on August 17, 2021.
The 9-year-old young genius said in his statement: “As president of the United States in 2048, I will destroy the Taliban. I will make sure that not even a single semblance of the Taliban or any Islamic terrorist groups remain in Afghanistan.”
His statement is currently viral on social media and receiving mixed reactions from netizens.
The son of Bangladeshi immigrants Rashidul and Shaheda Bari, Soborno spoke about the Afghanistan situation after the recent Taliban resurgence.
On 15 August 2021, the Taliban once again controlled a vast majority of Afghan territory as NATO troops left the country after a two-decade war. The Taliban began capturing the capital city of Kabul, and many civilians, government officials and foreign diplomats were evacuated. Afghan President Ghani fled Afghanistan that day.
Soborno was always vocal about his anti-terrorism stance.
The US-based Soborno, who has penned a 70-page book, simply titled ‘The Love,’ spoke of his hatred for Islamic terrorism at India’s Savitribai Phule Pune University back in 2020.
At the event, he said: “How can I solve math problems when Taliban terrorists kill 130 school children in Peshawar? How can I solve physics problems when Islamic State militants kill 29 at the Holey Artisan bakery
? How can I solve chemistry problems when Jaish-e-Muhammad terrorists kill 40 Indian soldiers in Pulwama?”He vocally renounces terrorism by inspiring young people to fall in love with mathematics and science.
His father Rashidul Bari is also a teacher at Bronx Community College in NY and teaches math there.
Moreover, Soborno Isaac Bari is a visiting physics professor at Ruia College of University of Mumbai and the youngest to achieve full professor status in the world.
He won recognition from President Obama in 2016, Harvard University in 2018 and Highest Recognition from New York State in 2020.
He also won the Global Child Prodigy Award from Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi.
He is the youngest person to receive a nomination for the prestigious Nobel Prize.
