Hindu has now been demonised to such an extent that if an atrocity happens on a Hindu community or a Hindu person, it then becomes a non-issue.
The trajectory of the recent incidents that have been taking place in quick succession since Rashmi Samant of Oxford University made it to the news, what we see is an escalated attempt to victimise and demonise the Hindus and their identity. Be it Deepawali firecracker ban or the entire Jashn-e-Riwaz episode of FabIndia, the hatred for Hindu symbols, Hindus and everything that is related to Hindu has been both subtle and open.

Etymologically the word “halal” means permissible. Now that itself leaves us with three basic questions. First, permissible to whom? Second, permissible by what standards? Third, who has the authority to judge that permissibility?
Halal economy is the new term to describe the convergence of Halal industry and Islamic finance which comes from one source- Islam. Muslim consumerism is valued at an astounding 2.1 trillion USD and the numbers are expected to grow. By the year 2050 global population of Muslims will increase from a current 1.8 billion to 2.8 billion. Halal has been accepted global as a product of hygiene, quality, pure, safety and clean.

Indira Gandhi never cared where the money came from. She was just interested in getting more and more for running the Party
In 2005, an otherwise dry academic book called The Mitrokhin Archive, about the activities of the KGB in Third World countries, created an unlikely political uproar in India. One might wonder what could have possibly piqued the interest of an ordinary Indian politician in the activities of the secret agency of a faraway country of a bygone era. The answer is very interesting.

Sources have clarified that all personal laws would also be amended to increase the marital age of women to 21
On December 15, the Union Cabinet approved a proposal to raise the legal age of marriage of women from 18 years to 21 years. During the Independence Day address in August 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced the same and said the Government was planning to amend the law for the same. He again pointed out the same in an address to the people of the nation in October 2020 and said the government would soon take a decision over it. Once the law is amended, the legal marriageable age for both men and women would become the same, i.e. 21 years.

Do you remember what the people of Jamia did in December 2019? Buses were set on fire. There was stone-pelting. In the name of the protests, they raised the slogans of La Ilalha Illallah and took the law into their hands. The same people of Jamia had announced ‘I Believe In Allah, Not Democracy’.

“Unless we have many children how will we (Muslims) capture power in India? How will Mr Owasi sahib become Prime Minister? How will Mr Shaukat become Chief Minister?”
The radical Islamist political outfit, All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), headed by Asaduddin Owaisi is working on the old tested methods to capture power in India through the explosion of the Muslim population.

There is no doubt that the curriculum was so framed as to make us as English in our mental make-up as possible. We learnt much about the geography and history of Great Britain but proportionally little about India
I was nearing my fifth birthday (January, 1902) when I was told I would be sent to school. I do not know how other children have felt in similar circumstances, but I was delighted. To see your elder brothers and sisters dress and go to school day after day and be left behind at home simply because you are not big enough—not old enough—is a galling experience. At least, so I had felt, and that is why I was overjoyed.
