Every act of oppression has its own root cause and deserves to be discussed on its merit. There is an undeniable underlying hatred toward the community.
The key change here is that the State will have more say in the regulation of waqf boards and even allow non-Muslim CEOs to be appointed by the government.
Published by Penguin India, 'A Brief History of the Present' by Hilal Ahmed, will be released on 29th July on SoftCover, ThePrint’s online venue to launch non-fiction books.
In 'A Brief History of the Present: Muslims in New India', Hilal Ahmed rethinks the role of minorities in 'New India' and provides an accurate picture of Indian Muslims.
Focus on BJP's Hindu nationalism & condition of Muslims too as minorities commission chair Iqbal Singh Lalpura gives his first ever interview to Western media.
Foreign media also explores 'production-linked incentives' to boost manufacturing & how shutting down India's most polluting power plants has implications for health benefits.
Muslims under the Yogi Adityanath govt 'feel secure' when stepping out of the home at night, and acknowledge that incidents of snatching, looting, and molestation have reduced. But voting is a different issue.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
This article is absolutely wrong. There is absolutely no hindu hate in Bangladesh. The attacks on temples were politically influenced by a third party and the protest was influenced by the fallen politcal party and later also RAW from India. Stop writing nonsense. All the disturbing attacks were on Awami league leaders because they were involved in many crimes and also shooting at people. They were mislead as hindu attacks on X. German led news mirror asia wrote on this.
Very well written and articulated madam. India has a moral authority to provide refuge and as a growing great power we need to be more proactive in our sphere of influence in south Asia and be a force against islamism and military dictatorships.
Madam author, please provide facts from both sides. There have been incidents against hindus, but inspite of that hindus were able to protest? Does that not mean anything to you?
So, she is saying there is absolutely no place for minorities in BD. What happened to the peace loving, people loving narrative? Or it loves only the belie ers?
I am not sure if the author fully understood the situation or just using it to justify Islamophobia by comparing it with what’s happening now in Bangladesh. The government and people there seem to be sincerely addressing the issue. News about students and locals forming protective circles around temples shows their opposition for attacks on minorities. Nobel Laureate Mohammad Yunus reached out to Indian PM to assure his government’s resolve to protect minorities. The government and people there are acting against the incidents and not indirectly encouraging by keeping quiet. It would have been good if the author mentioned this and encouraged similar governmental behavior elsewhere. But her opinion is one sided, seems like coming from an unhappy Muslim having some biases and preconceived notions!
A very difficult question to answer. India is not Israel, which has its policy of Aaliya. It would also upend the scheme of the Constitution, being a secular nation. A dialogue at government level, since the safety of Hindus in Bangladesh has always been an Indian priority. Maintaining the highest standards of communal harmony also adds gravitas when India raises this issue diplomatically. Whether the columnist has been watching Indian channels recently, the grave harm they are doing to social amity.
