Arpita SarkarNovember 24, 20220

Delhi's historic Jama Masjid has banned girls as well as women from entering the mosque singly or in groups. Sabiullah Khan, public relations officer of the mosque, said that there is no restriction on women coming and going with their families or with their husbands. Khan said, "There is no ban on women, per se. But when women come alone, they give time to boys… Yaha aakey galat harkatey hoti hai, video pe video bana jaati hai, sirf uss cheej ko rokne ke liye, iss pe pabandi lagai gayi hai (We have stopped their entry to stop wrong activities, like shooting videos etc).” Khan said women who come with their families or with their husbands are welcome.

SC Upholding EWS Quota Shows Its Ignorance Of Socio-Economic Fairness And Equality

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 24, 20220

In 1985, Justice Chinnappa Reddy ruled that quotas should be utilised for equality, not charity. His ruling explains the social justice goals of Indian reservations clearly and movingly. The fact that the judiciary, which had previously rejected such notions of social justice, finally accepted the view of politicians and the majority of Indians regarding the need for vertical reservations in jobs and education to create a truly equal India is a landmark decision that will continue to symbolise this. Consider the Supreme Court's ruling in Janhit Abhiyan v Union of India (2022), which upheld the 103rd amendment in the context of reservations for economically poorer sector (EWS). By upholding the 103rd amendment, the Court implied such reservations are for charity, not parity. All thre...

‘Like Saddam Hussein’: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma Questions Rahul Gandhi’s Look

Arpita SarkarNovember 23, 20220

In his latest dig at Rahul Gandhi, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma said the Congress leader's face has changed. He looks more like Saddam Hussein. Himanta Biswa Sarma said, "I told in a television interview a few days ago that there is no problem with Rahul Gandhi's new look. But if you have to change your looks, then at least make it like Vallabhbhai Patel or Jawaharlal Nehru. Even better if you look like Gandhiji, but why do you look more like Saddam Hussein now?" "Congress's culture is not close to India. Their practices are close to those who have not yet understood India," added he. Before 2014, people called it Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi or Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid. Himanta Biswa asked, "Now you think, Ram is a God and who is Babur? Why were their names t...

Adiba GhausNovember 23, 20220

The Union Minister of State for Housing and Urban Affairs, Kaushal Kishore who talks about a vision of India becoming a developed nation by 2047 gave an insensitive statement after Delhi’s Shraddha Walker murder case. Kishore blamed live-in relationships for the murder and that these crimes have been only happening to the girls who are educated. He said, “educated girls are responsible for leaving parents for live-in relationships that lead to crime, and suggested that they should instead go for court marriage.” Recently a man, Aftab Ameen Poonawala chopped up his live-in partner, Shraddha Walkar into 35 pieces and stored them in the fridge before disposing of the remains in a Delhi forest. People across social media are supporting the victim and her family while some are blaming her

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 22, 20220

No Support, Shashi Tharoor Still ‘Outsider’ For Congress In Kerala: Deets Inside!!!

SHIVANI UJJAINWALNovember 21, 20220

Shashi Tharoor has also irked a sizable contingent of state leaders. If the suggestions from the party about his possibilities if he runs for the AICC president seat are any indication, Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor, a former diplomat-turned-politician, still remains an "outsider" within the Kerala branch of the Congress. While the majority of Congressmen preferred to criticise Tharoor in private, senior Congressman K Muraleedharan, who has been travelling with Rahul Gandhi around the padayatra, told TNIE that only the official candidate would receive the support of the state's leadership. “Tharoor has neither sought the support of the state Congress leadership nor held any talks with the stakeholders here. This reveals the lack of support he has from the state unit,” said Mu

Congress Party Needs To Rethink Why Its Telangana Plan Hasn’t Worked

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 21, 20220

The Congress party's low performance in the Munugode bypoll was expected. A sitting seat was lost in a byelection and the Congress candidate couldn't preserve the security deposit while Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra was in the state. In August, former Congress MLA Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy prompted another byelection. The BJP intends to show that BRS vs. Congress is giving way to BRS vs. BJP in Telangana by using byelections. The state's ruling party, Telangana Rashtra Samiti, has changed its name to Bhartiya Rashtra Samiti. This clever tactic recalls how the BJP used Congress leaders and cadre to oust the CPM in Tripura. The Congress is tumbling like a house of cards in Telangana as the BJP uses a systematic plan to destroy it. BRS, BJP have more resources and fighte...

Underperforming MLAs Should Be Ousted, But Only In Strong-Led Parties

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 16, 20220

The BJP's approach to elections is distinguished by its clinical evaluation of the likelihood of reelection for each existing lawmaker. Fear has spread among several of the BJP's Karnataka legislators after the party lost over 30 sitting MLAs in Gujarat. Only 149 out of 312 UP MLAs from BJP's 2017 triumph were re-elected earlier this year. In general, this is a decent method. As many MLAs run for office under the party's symbol, the party has a responsibility to the electorate not to re-nominate an underperforming member. Keeping the party at arm's length from any local anti-incumbency against the candidate is a plus as well. In most cases, this is possible only for parties with exceptional leadership. It was reported in 2021 that the CPM in Kerala has expelled 38 of its sitting MLA...

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 13, 20220

Except for the Telangana Rashtra Samithi, all byelection parties appealed to Indian political dynasticism. In preparation for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections against the BJP, the opposition parties showed their strength in seven by-elections in six states. With a few exceptions, the results were predictable, assuring that legislatures would not alter. BJP retaining Gopalganj (Bihar), Gola Gokrannath (Uttar Pradesh), Dhamnagar (Odisha), and Adampur (Haryana) from the Congress.

The saffron party's candidate lost by more than 3 percentage points against the ...
