SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.
A common thread runs through the memories of soldiers of the 1965 war—ingenuity, courage and camaraderie that withstood an apparently technologically superior foe.
Many really smart people now share the position that playing cricket with Pakistan is politically, strategically and morally wrong. It is just a poor appreciation of competitive sport.
Zafar Sareshwala’s “focus on education” is praiseworthy, but I do not think he has the license to speak on behalf of the entire Muslim community when he says,
“…There is a silent churning within the community…We are like Arjuna in the Mahabharata… You bring in uniform civil code, you build the Ram mandir, we won’t get bogged down or react…”
The problem for Zafar S. is that he has so closely identified himself with Mr Modi in the past that an average Muslim would look on him as a mole of the BJP. The above quoted text might be the thinking among his business community, but I doubt if an average Muslim would endorse it. In fact he might boo him angrily.
On one point I would personally disagree with Zafar S. when he claims that the top BJP leadership is not communal. If they weren’t, then what was the need for “silently” endorsing the lynchings? Have they furthered their goal of establishing Hindutva by doing so, or shot themselves in the foot? If there is ONE factor that has brought together the entire opposition and nonviolence loving Hindus who constitute the majority, it is this — lynching of the poor, helpless humans, Muslims and Dalits. If the leaders weren’t communal, would the footsoldiers have the courage to do these?
Beware the fury of the patient man. No one will keep turning the cheek forever.
