A solemn religious ritual is slowly morphing into a joyous picnic in Delhi’s Sunder Nursey and Lodhi Gardens. Of course, it also makes for better Instagram Reels.
While the move toward environmental consciousness has gained traction among Muslims, links between Islam and sustainability are found in the faith’s foundational texts.
Multiple teams from the ISI, Military Intelligence and the Special Branch of the Islamabad Police camped outside the hotel and intimidated Pakistani guests.
In response to ThePrint’s report on RoohAfza being off the market, chief of Hamdard Laboratories Waqf Pakistan offers to supply it through Wagah border.
The one thing that keeps the relentless beauty of trans people alive is their community. But for lawmakers, kinship is ‘deception’, ‘allurement’, and ‘undue influence’.
Aluminum prices, already rising before the conflict, have gained further as traders and buyers focus on the potential for tighter markets and shrinking global inventories.
It’s easy to understand why the government can’t speak the hard truth. When this war ends, as all wars do, India’s interests will lie with both the winner and the loser.
I have seen many gatherings like this, and not just in the UK, and here is an uncensored ‘other side’. Gatherings like these are not just ‘a meal’ or ‘a celebration’, they are equally a demonstration of numbers, a seizure of public spaces, and a show of force of the global ‘Ummah’ over the national identity and distinct from it. It sets the precedent for a street veto. While an iftar is itself a communal meal, it is a tacit ‘this is how large we, the Ummah, are’ and therefore an act of ‘claiming’ (peacefully – for now at least) the heart of a Western (or Bharatiya) city, signalling a shit in the local power dynamic in favour of the Ummah.
Also, I don’t think I need to draw any parallels here with how this is received vs how let’s say Hindu public festivities may be stigmatised or shamed. So let us not dress this up as pluralism, inclusivism, or (the failed project of) multiculturalism. Community building? Yes, but to what end?
Ms. Ansari, history has a long memory. Gatherings exactly like this one were where the demand to split India was born and cheered.
Lets see if you can answer this honestly: can Hindus or Christians gather in these numbers anywhere in the Middle East? Can they pray openly in a public square with their ruler or mayor blessing the occasion? You know the answer.
And since you are moved to write about tolerance and belonging, look into the hearts and minds of your ummah — your brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers. What do they truly feel toward the kafeer living among them? Not what they say in public. What they feel.
