Addressing a programme organised by the Harmony Foundation of India in New Delhi, RSS outreach wing head Ramlal says Congress has made the BJP the Sangh’s only option.
Muslim women already face issues at home due to patriarchy and misogyny — much like women in any conservative household. Moral policing only makes their lives harder.
Concerns under scrutiny were drawn from a batch of nearly 100 petitions challenging the law, and revolve around significant changes to waqf governance and property recognition.
Waqf Bill was introduced in LS for 'effective management' of waqf properties & to 'enhance efficiency' of administration. It has come under heavy criticism from Oppn & section of Muslims.
Hindutva has pushed once-visible Muslim clergy behind scenes & underlined its credibility crisis. Ordinary Muslims increasingly feel they achieved little by posing faith in Ulema.
The emergence of India's Scheduled Castes from the bottom rung should be a matter of satisfaction and happiness for one and all and not a matter of jealousy and envy.
BJP has fielded no Muslim candidates in MP, Rajasthan, Telangana and Chhattisgarh in this month's elections. Minority Morcha leaders say they have accepted the decision & would not question it.
In West Bengal, Left is in a dead heat with Congress for the wooden spoon; Maoism in the tribal heartland has been entombed; and in Kerala, the Left fights double incumbency.

Muslims don’t realize that their reaction is highly judged not only in this country but even in the west.
When the reaction is to deflect and blame the victims, then you have created a space for anti Muslim to gain more power.
