Elections are over ; Padmavati Becomes Padmavat

Image
Padmavati ko Padman bolke hi release kar dete!  Karni Sena wouldn't have known what hit them! Just for the Gujarat Elections #Padmavati issue was raised suddenly Karni Sena is ready for minor changes to be accepted ,CBFC is going to certify Padmavati. Dear Karni Sena, elections are over; Welcome to the reality.. Both Sanjay Leela Bansal and Prasoon Josh are happy about Padmavat, and they hope this compromise is acceptable to Narendra Mod and Rahul Gandh. When we care about cows and Karni Sena more than governance, things like #2Gverdict happen. It's the citizens who decide their priorities.

A very flawed law: on instant talaq By A. Faizur Rahman

Image
In this article publised in THE HINDU English Daily Dtd 28/12/2017 A. Faizur Rahman says that the proposed Bill criminalising instant talaq has no legal basis, and is riddled with contradictions The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill 2017 , which is set to be tabled in Parliament today, is riddled with so many internal contradictions that one is left wondering what purpose it would serve. The stated intent of the Bill is “to protect the rights of married Muslim women and to prohibit divorce by pronouncing talaq by their husbands”. Talaq here is defined as “talaq-e-biddat or any other similar form of talaq having the effect of instantaneous and irrevocable divorce”.  The draft law goes on to declare, in Sections 3, 4 and 7, that the “pronouncement” of talaq-e-biddat by a person upon his wife in any form whatsoever “shall be void and illegal”, and whoever “pronounces” such a talaq “shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may ex...

Bilal Ibn Rabah RA

Bilal Ibn Rabah RA was the first announcer of the time of Muslim prayer and the troublemaker to the idols. He was one of the miracles of faith and truthfulness, one of Islam’s great miracles. For out of every ten Muslims, from the beginning of Islam until today and until Allah wills, we will meet seven, at least, who know Bilal. That is, there are hundreds of millions of people throughout the centuries and generations who know Bilal, remember his name, and know his role just as they know the two greatest Caliphs in Islam, Abu Bakr RA and Umar RA! Before Islam, Bilal was no more than a slave who tended herds of camels for his master for a handful of dates. Had it not been for Islam, it would have been his fate to remain a slave, wandering among the crowd until death brought an end to his life and caused him to perish in the profoundest depths of forgetfulness. However, his faith proved to be true, and the magnificence of the religion which he believed in gave him, during his l...

  Research Paper By: Jameel Aahmed Milansaar AT INSTITUTE OF OBJECTIVE STUDIES & THE NEW COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS) Two-day Seminar “Towards Equality, Justice and Fraternity in Contemporary India – Creating a Better Tomorrow through History” December 2-3, 2017 at The New College, Chennai Since the Indian Society (compromising mostly of Hindus) was living in isolation for several thousand years under a tight Brahminic control, it had lost its vigour and vitality. Bottled in their own customs and rites ,the Hindus were politically divided and militarily weak. This naturally resulted in a major shake up by the Muslims who were strong and better equipped. Islam as the most powerful movement to bring mankind into one brotherhood, free from exploitation and corruption, had at that time a firm moral, intellectual and political control over the civilized world. The character of Hindu society was substantially changed after long and intimate association with th...
