The Home Ministry has strongly objected Kerala government's decision to reopen restaurants, allow bus travel in cities and opening of MSME industries in municipal areas.
The Home Ministry said Kerala's decision to allow opening of restaurants and MSME industries, and bus travel in cities amounts to dilution of its lockdown guidelines.
The Kerala government has challenged CAA on the grounds that it is violative of Article 14, 21 and 25 of the Constitution as well as the basic principle of secularism.
Uncertified dating gurus are teaching women to be suggestive, mysterious, and never loud. For some of us, this level of performance is simply unachievable. We might as well give up and become Brahma Kumaris.
Research paper, however, finds lowest indebtedness level among Muslims at 12.3% & highest among Hindus at 14.9%. Overall national financial inclusion level at 87.2%, indebtedness at 14.7%.
Fresh details of operation conducted by IAF, Army have come out in gazette notification giving citations of those who were awarded Vir Chakra for their bravery.
On 21 Oct, a buzz went up that the govt had released full list of gallantry award recipients along with Op Sindoor citations. I put an AI caddy on the job. It took me into a never-ending rabbit hole.
Really surprised on why TDB president N. Vasu surprised on hindus objection. Is TDB secular organization or religious? Why not sanskrit where all hindu mantras are in Sanskrit. I understand their urge to server their Secular masters but please maintain some decency
That precisely is the motive behind govt control over Hindu religious institutions.
In this manner, the offerings of the devout Hindus can quite conveniently be channelized to impose “secularism” on our society. Hard earned and faithfully donated to the presiding deity, wealth is being spent on propagating Arabic language.
Has anyone heard of any Muslim religious institution in Iran/Saudi Arabia appointing Sanskrit teachers and including Sanskrit in the curriculum?
Ms Swagata Singh: Admittedly, diverting donations from Hindu devotees to schools where Arabic is taught for religious purposes is fraught with all sorts of dangers in these prickly Hindutva times. Clearly, even in relatively tolerant Kerala where Hindutva and the BJP have been sent packing, North Indian cretins like Alok Kumar of the VHP are capable of stoking trouble where there was none.
In any case Ms Swagata Singh, North Indians like you and your mentor in the VHP Alok Singh ought to realise a critical facts about India’s economy which relies heavily on remittances from workers outside the country:
In 2018, according to World Bank Data, India received USd 79 Billions in remittances, see ref: bit.ly/2BMuaDZ
54% of India’s remittances came from the Arab speaking countries of the Middle-East and the wider Gulf region.
Roughly 9 million Indians work in the Gulf
Roughly 20% of remittances – a large chunk from the Gulf – flow to Kerala
Under these circumstances, tell me whether there will be demand for Sanskrit or for Arabic ? After all, many migrants in the Gulf do try to learn a smattering of Arabic when in the region and indeed regret not having learnt it earlier. Indeed, even my own very Hindu relatives in Dubai ensure that their children learn Arabic at school so as to maximise their prospects of employment. And I am pretty sure that you too would rather have your kids go to English medium schools and have them learn German or French rather than Punjabi or Hindi right?
BOTTOMLINE: Employment considerations dictate choice of and demand for languages. Few parents would want their wards to study relatively less useful languages such as Latin, Sanskrit or Classical Arabic. Instead, most opt for English, French, German and in the case of Kerala, even Arabic.
Suggest you get that message across to your dimwit, bigoted bosses in VHP.
What is wrong? When did Arabic become an Indian language? Have we become so enslaved that we have forgotten that Arabic was brought by invaders who came to loot, pillage and plunder this land and then decided to stay and become our rulers instead of invaders. Shame on us. Seems like slavery has become deep rooted in our psyche and thinking.
Mr Jaishriram: When did German, French and English become Indian languages? Shouldn’t they also be banned? Although I will caution you that the middle class will be up in arms if you try to do that … After all, if you had walked into a room full of young parents and asked them to raise their hands as to how many would want their children to study in Hindi, Oriya, Marathi or Punjabi medium schools and learn only Indian languages, not many hands would go up right?
You should get into your saffronised skull that many, if not the vast majority of Indians, including the Hindutva types prepare their children for careers outside India as well as inside India. And the many Keralites who go to the Middle-East will benefit from learning Arabic. After all, once they reach the Middle-East, they do end up learning Arabic don’t they ?
The actual fact is that Arabic is NOT an Indian language. VHP has a point.

Actually sanskrit is also an option just like arabic
