A cleric chastising Mohammad Shami for not fasting during Ramzan is less about religion and more about power theology and the confrontational ideology it engenders.
The collusion between the new class of bureaucrats, politicians, businessmen and trade union bosses perpetuates itself partly because of the short-run benefits and partly because they see no way out of the system, wrote author MH Mody in 1980.
IAF is firming up plans to revamp airlift capabilities with medium transport aircraft that will be assembled in India & serve as its main workhorse. Embraer is leading contender as of now.
This article is studded with some incontrovertible facts. But instead of getting to grips with them and also ascertaining how the majority of the faithful looks at them, people tend to point the finger of suspicion at something or somebody else. This itself goes to show how intractable and seemingly unresolvable the problem is. Ibn Khaldun Bharati is the thinking person’s guy. He is the kind of thinker who raises questions that few would have the nerve to confront.

Why do y’all take these so called ulemas seriously? Just ignore them and move on. The real imams and muftis worry about socio economic problems, income disparity, lack of healthcare, lack of affordable education, etc.

The ulema who ostracised Shami, maybe he doesn’t know that Shami and every Muslim has the privilege to fast after Ramadan in compensation if they weren’t able to fast during Ramadan.

The article written by Ibn Whatever reeks of a biased man. It’s rooted in appeasement to the current environment in country.
