For all their colonial underpinnings, postcards from Hyderabad also inadvertently preserve a trace of local memory: a glimpse of a street, a face, a forgotten name.
Indian toymakers are now exploring new markets, but they want govt to negotiate a trade deal with US soon, introduce incentives and subsidies to make the industry more competitive.
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?
Those who were never outraged at over 80,000 temples destroyed and over 3,000 mosques built on the sites of some of them have no right to cry foul when HP rises against illegal occupation of the land.
I stay in a village in Kangra district, around Kotla area. There are five mosques that have been constructed in last 3 years within a radius of 5 KM of my house. These people occupy the forest land and then construct whatever that they wish.
Not to forget, there are even 2 churches that have been constructed within a radius of 10 KMs. My childhood friend has changed his name from Rahul Kumar to ‘Peter’.
Keeping this aside, this comment is just to highlight the scale of change and destruction of culture that has been ongoing here in HP. The confrontations have increased and blood-shed is becoming a new normal. The peaceful nature of the state is not there now. Readers have to understand the scale of things that are happening here in the state. There are buddhist communities in HP for over decades, I have not seen a single extra illegal occupation or new construction of temples by them, or any show of dominance. Why is it that these incidents or news are being only related to people that Fatima supports in her article here.
Full support to Himachalis. Only they know how the culture is getting destroyed by the intrusion of Islamic values.
Had the Muslim community remained peaceful and respectful, there would have been no issues. But they are calling and bringing their cousins and uncles and nephews from all parts of India and then showing their dominance in their area. There are 10-20 people staying in one rental house and then refusing to vacate the same when asked by the owner.
All the small works have taken over by them (which is a help to locals though) but the issue is coming when they are asserting control and power by showing majority (which is something they always accuse of Hindus).
I really feel like you have lost your mind The Print. Come to Shimla you will see sharanpuries all around being street vendors . That to without permit. We are not against a religion. We are against the imposed demographic change that is being brought for vote bank .
Some select interviews/quotes;
Tikendra singh panwar – A lifer comrade who used to be active in student politics and later in shimla municipality when he grew too old to be spotted in university campus.
Ravi kumar Dalit – a rabble rouser and a participant in anti untouchability and caste issues and a candidate in municipal elections, a comrade in action

Narrative – Paint hindutva as bad and muslim presence matter-of -factly. Whitewash anecdotal evidence of muslims asserting themselves disproportionately in politics and social and cultural affairs when they acquire critical mass. (Not only domestic but international as well where hindutvawadis are non existent).
All these are agents and enablers of expansion of a counter hindutva politicians and Islamists and they would like Himachali to be asleep on the wheel and fall down the cliff at some stage
There has been a rapid increase in the population of Muslims in Shimla and other towns of Himachal Pradesh. It is very evident from the mushrooming of mosques everywhere – usually illegally occupied government land or forest land. This is very concerning for the residents of the state. The upcoming Census will make the demographic shift absolutely clear.
Also, this has resulted in a substantial increase in violent criminal activities. More often than not, the recent migrants are the ones responsible for the violence due to their involvement in illegal activities ranging from money laundering to drug and arms trafficking,
Story by Fatima! The theme becomes clear. I wish to tell her that when one knows the true motive of migrants, when one sees their actions, one is bound to react. Every living community will. She has cunningly called the resentment to be against mosque. It is actually against immoral migrants, soldiers of jehad. She should lecture her community.
The Muslim population has increased substantially in Himachal Pradesh. Census figures would certainly show a sudden spurt in recent years in the percentage of Muslims.
The fast changing demography has started ringing alarm bells.
These recent migrants to the state have mostly settled on govt land or abandoned private property. These illegal squatters are also indulging in various crimes ranging from supplying drugs to pickpocketing. Often times, the local population is intimated and harassed by these recent immigrants.
The Himachal govt must act swiftly to end this unwarranted migration. The squatters must be evicted from the state.
Radical Muslim needs to be eliminated.
But unfortunately most of Muslim are radical

Mosque-free India on the cards
You are a leftist, anti- national page if you feel this is wrong.

Muslims are welcome but extremists are not.
But 99 percentage of muslims are extremists.
