In their petition, several Haj Group Organisers — govt-approved group tour operators that organise the pilgrimage — claimed their certificates & quotas were suspended after they were found eligible.
India has finalised 58,000 applications for Haj, but needs Saudi govt to give the sanctioned quota of the final number of people. The pilgrimage is scheduled from 17-22 July.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
