Post-Bihar Poll: Where do we go from here?

A Short Take By Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam The Bihar elections have delivered a staggering blow to the NDA. They may not be a game-changer, but they certainly point to possibilities of a better performance by a secular front in the future. The havoc BJP and its Sangh affiliates have created over the last 18 months is there for all of us to see. That what is called “intolerance” is a fact of life is reflected not only in award returns by some of our brightest talents, it is also there in the huge protest rallies against it in London. However, calling what is being wreaked upon the weak in India mere “intolerance” is like calling Hitler, Mother Teresa. This is not the appropriate word to describe our situation as Arundhati says, “Lynching, shooting, burning is not just intolerance”. The Institute of Objective Studies expects from our experienced and excellent journalists, academics and writers, who have a wide experience of the world, whose insights are sharply honed, ...

Bihar sets the trend

Image
By Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam With their political maturity and fresh thinking the people of Bihar have set a trend which is likely to be followed in other state assembly elections in near future. This trend shows that the electorate has moved away from identity politics and anti-Muslim hysteria of Parliament elections. Not that the BJP did not try to recreate its familiar magic by demonizing Muslims. Amit Shah, who is a past master at divisive, hate-driven politics, tried his old tricks like making insinuations about the “enemy”. In Raxaul, on the Indo-Nepalese border, he spread the canard that the area was a hotbed of “terrorism.” Champaran Satyagrah He tried to subtly suggest that the Muslim population in Champaran (from where Gandhiji launched the freedom struggle) was involved in terrorism, while the fact is that not a single person from the area has been accused of terrorism, much less involved in a court case regarding it. And, naturally, there is no quest...

Victory for the Grand Alliance. Mahagathbandhan ki MahaJeet.

 Congratulations to the Mahagathbandhan in Bihar. It is a victory for the lesser evil, but a good lesson for polarising BJP leaders such as Sakshi Maharaj and Yogi Adityanath. I hope that at least now, the Prime Minister will ensure that these hate mongers are not allowed to dominate the agenda. That polarisation doesn’t always help win votes is clear. When Arun Shourie expressed his disappointment with the NDA’s declining popularity, it was brushed aside by BJP leaders due to overconfidence. The Delhi Assembly results, coming so soon after a spectacular show by the BJP in the general elections, should have warned the party that there is a silent undercurrent moving against it coming to power in States. Its election strategy should have focused on gaining the confidence of voters and not on personalised campaigning. The BJP failed to see the warning signals and has paid the price. The outlook is gloomy for the BJP. This results is clear message to either improve governance or...

Murder is no ordinary issue

by Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam The Dussehra address of the RSS chief is by now an established ritual to which Hindutva votaries look forward with great excitement and expectation. Even common Indians, not affiliated to the Sangh, are interested in it as it shows the Sangh mind and its prospective targets among religious minorities. This year’s address was no different as it subtly hinted at the Sangh’s attitude towards the victims of its myriads of secondary organisations. Under the NDA government different kinds of attacks on Muslims and Christians have grown tremendously. With the Sangh propaganda against Muslims and Christians at peak, functionaries of Sangh’s affiliate organisations have created havoc. Anti-minorities venom has been spread all over the country and riots have become a common occurrence. On one hand, over the last 16 months or so, the Sangh has brainwashed Dalits against Muslims and used them in anti-Muslim violence, on the other, Dalit women have been publicly ...

If Narayan Murthy can feel it . it is Serious for sure !!!

Narayana Murthy says there is fear in the minds of the minorities in the country.IT entrepreneur is first prominent face from business community to voice concern about fears of minorities in India.The first priority of the government, Murthy said, should be "to bring back the confidence, the energy, the enthusiasm, the trust in the minds of every Indian" that their rights and safety would be guaranteed. Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan has called for an end to vigilante acts in the pursuit of enforcing bans, saying that they will stifle progress I'm being a scary species of being minority in India still hopeful with the likes of Raghuram Rajan & Narayana Murthy. More they speak more stronger secular fabric of india, Now educated and people with wisdom are coming out clearly against Modi, and also understand how deeply the current government lead by Modi destroying the Social fabric of India.

7 Japanese aesthetic principles to change your thinking

Image
Exposing ourselves to traditional Japanese aesthetic ideas — notions that may seem quite foreign to most of us — is a good exercise in lateral thinking, a term coined by Edward de Bono in 1967. "Lateral Thinking is for changing concepts and perception," says de Bono. Beginning to think about design by exploring the tenets of the Zen aesthetic may not be an example of Lateral Thinking in the strict sense, but doing so is a good exercise in stretching ourselves and really beginning to think differently about visuals and design in our everyday professional lives. The principles of Zen aesthetics found in the art of the traditional Japanese garden, for example, have many lessons for us, though they are unknown to most people. The principles are interconnected and overlap; it's not possible to simply put the ideas in separate boxes. Thankfully, Patrick Lennox Tierney (a recipient of the Order of the Rising Sun in 2007) has a few short essays elaborating on the concepts. Belo...

All over a Tattoo - Hindu Editorial 20th Oct 2015

What is this Indian culture that feels threatened and slighted by a visiting  Australian man sporting a tattoo  of a Hindu goddess? What is this Indian culture that is so intolerant of people from other faiths, especially Muslims and Christians, who do not worship the same gods and who do not have similar food habits and tastes? And who exactly are the self-styled proponents, upholders and protectors of Indian culture? The Australian’s  shocking account ,  reported by this newspaper , described how a bunch of people in Bengaluru threatened him with dire consequences when they spotted on his shin the tattoo of goddess Yellamma — who is worshipped in parts of southern India, and who as the Mahabharata says was slain by her son on her husband’s orders for merely looking at the pleasing reflection in a river of a celestial flying overhead. A policeman, instead of protecting the young man from the group, corralled him to a police station and got him to write out an apol...

Virtues of the Sacred Month of Muharram, Its First Ten Days, and the Day of `Ashura

Duties of the Month of Muharram 1. It is the best of months for general voluntary fasts, after Ramadan. 2. It is especially recommended to fast the 10th of Muharram (known as the Day of `Ashura), with a day before it or after it. [Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, quoting Kasani’s al-Bada`i] 3. It is also virtuous to give in charity on this day. Extracts from Ibn Rajab’s Lataif al-Ma`arif, regarding the month of Muharram: The Virtues of Fasting in the Month of Muharram and Its First Ten Days Muslim reported from Abu Hurayra (Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said , “The best of fasts after the month of Ramadan are in the Month of Allah, which you call Muharram. And the best of prayer after the obligatory prayer is the night prayer.” [Muslim, 1163] This refers to general voluntary fasts according to Imam Ibn Rajab (Allah have mercy on him): These are best in the month of Muharram, just as the best general voluntary prayer is night ...

It will not be easy for the Modi sarkar to wash off the Dadri stain: Here's why

It will not be easy for the Modi sarkar to wash off the Dadri stain: Here's why by  R Jagannathan   Oct 7, 2015 09:14 IST The unconscionable lynching to death of Mohammed Akhlaq in Dadri over rumours of alleged beef consumption is likely to haunt the BJP and the Modi government for a long time. It is not going to become a non-issue just because the home ministry has issued a statement expressing "concern" over "incidents with communal overtones" across the country, "including the recent unfortunate incident at Dadri, UP." Asking states to show "zero tolerance" towards such incidents is obviously the right thing to do, but it simply won't do the BJP and its government's "communal" image any good. The Modi government needs to internalise two important facts of life in a media-saturated world: perceptions are reality; and once formed, perceptions are almost impossible to change in a hurry. It has to build its po...

Dadri Lynching

Image
Dadri Lynching: Time for a Mann Ki Baat, Mr Prime Minister! 'Mohammad Akhlaq's death isn't only about a Muslim being killed out of sheer communal bigotry, but also the denial of the Constitutional guarantees of "due process" under Article 21 and the freedom of choice,' says Shehzad Poonawalla, who has moved the National Commission for Minorities over the murder. Dadri is barely 60-odd kilometres, or about an hour's drive, away from national capital Delhi. But when a person named Mohammad Akhlaq, 50, whose son is a part of the Indian Air Force, is lynched and killed on the basis of a cooked up rumour about beef consumption by a mob of over 100 people, high on pseudo-religious frenzy, the silence of those occupying the seat of power in Delhi makes us realise that physical distances, no matter how small, can hardly be traversed on the back of an empty slogan, even one as attractive as 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.' Not for a mome...
