An analysis by ThePrint finds that 77% of Covid-19 casualties in India had comorbidities, 69% were men and over a third had no reported travel or contact history.
The Tablighi Jamaat congregation at Nizamuddin would concern any country. But PM Modi must immediately rein in his media and social media supporters communalising it.
I am not encouraging Islamophobia, it is a prejudice that needs fierce opposition but if this isn’t plain stupidity in the name of Allah, then what is?
A round-up of the most important reports in major newspapers around the country – from TOI and HT, Express and The Hindu to The Telegraph, Mumbai Mirror and The Tribune, as well as top financial dailies.
Tablighi Jamaat is an Islamic religious reform movement. It has emerged as one of the most dominant forms of religiosity in postcolonial India, writes Hilal Ahmed in his book Siyasi Muslims.
The wealthy float above the crisis—insulated in air-purified cars, weekend getaways at farmhouses, and vacations timed perfectly to coincide with Delhi’s worst weeks.
ThePrint had previously reported that India & Russia are talking about 5 more regiments of the S-400, but no contracts are to be signed during the Russian president's visit.
The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
If the principle of jamaat is to make a better muslim, then what is the need for leader to hide? Why can’t jamaat appeal to all attendees to come forward on their own so that administration doesn’t have to conduct a national level hunt? Why maulvis are hiding fellow attendees in their homes and local mosques? Why jamaat was allowing people to stay with expired visas/passports?
This is not the time of communal sensation and I am not trying to trigger that. I would have expressed the same agression against any community coz the issue in hand is above everything.
But please don’t try to sugar coat things or glorify the mistake. You have a lot of time to work on jamaat image improvement, but for now write articles which appeals the jamaat to act more responsibly.
Well said. This is not a time to be a Muslim lover/ hater but vigilant human being to stop the pandemic.
This article is attempting a damage control.

The Nizamuddin dargha primarily belongs to a sufi strain or a secular strain while I not sure of the same about TJ which I think is considered somewhat extremist form of Islam.So the two coming together is puzzling about which the author has nothing to say.Further such a big gathering and its timing too raise questions.Next the Indian devotees are mostly from non-Hindi states and Delhi where the H-M divide or polarisation is virtually not very pronounced.Further such a huge gathering involving over 100 mullahs from Islamic countries could not have gone from the gaze of center whose MEA must have given visas besides the IB and RAW keeping a hawk eye on both foreign n local muslim delegates.The entire event looks somewhat fishy not as plain as it looks on the surface.

Nizamuddin has been overrun by superstition and medieval thinking in the past two weeks!
Muslim locales such as this are always good for Muslims, but unfortunately bad for kaffirs.
Trying to polish the sullied image, eh? Recanting history won’t wash away the blunder of these bigots.
Fatima khan: Nizamuddin – ‘inclusive’. The words inclusive, secular, liberal, etc require a redefinition by the dictionary
