MY PERSONAL MESSAGE to the “QUIT HATE MOVEMENT”.

        

          “HATE” is the MOST SELF DESTRUCTING emotion that results in MORE HARM in the long run  to the person who INDULGES in HATE of OTHERS than it AFFECTS his OBJECTS of HATE!

        Since this a SLOW POISON that weakens the OVERALL CHARACTER of that person to CONVERT HIM into an “ENTITY that is FULL of a “SELF& INTERNALLY  CREATED POISON POTION” that starts  CORRODING & PUSHING his own PSHYCHE towards HATING more & more “ OTHERS” who he starts disliking for some MINOR REASON or the OTHER and EVENTUALLY this HATE becomes an ALL – ENCOMPASSING emotion in his SELF that leaves him with NO LOVE or AFFECTION for any one and he BECOMES TOTALLY an AUTOMATON that can only HATE at the expense of all other and MORE POSITIVE & PRODUCTIVE Emotions like LOVE, RESPECT etc that normally ENDEAR a PERSON to OTHERS , where as his CONSTANT INDDULGENCE in “HATE-TALK” against others LEAVES many of his OWN EARLIER Friends to DESRET him –branding him a PYSCHO!

        SO just like CIGARETTE SMOKING is EXTREMELY HARMFUL / INJURIOUS to those who SMOKE, for those who PRACTICE “ HATE”,  this “POISON of HATE” too is EXTREMELY HARMFUL / INJURIOUS to thos who become ADDICTED to it!

FOLLOWING is the TEXT of the above mentioned ARTICLE:

WE ARE LIKE THIS ONLY

Bangalore Mirror Bureau | Updated: Feb 21, 2018, 08.49 AM IST

By: Anuvab Pal

Does something in our DNA propel us to game a system, any system? Perhaps a tiny atom of Nirav Modi lives in all of us, manifesting in things like breaking a traffic signal or jumping a queue

The question to ask in the midst of this Nirav Modi imbroglio is a bigger one: is there something in our DNA that propels us to do stuff like this? To which you say, ‘What? Are you saying a billion people are dishonest?’ Statistically speaking, unlikely. Although, perhaps, a tiny atom of Nirav Modi lives in all of us. It doesn’t manifest in a

Rs 3,600 crore LoU backed by no assets, but it does in things like breaking a traffic signal, or looking for ways to cut a queue, or avoiding a tiny tax. Ego, thinking, if there’s a way around a system, we’ll find it.

If one looks through the operations of most Indian companies, you’ll be hard pressed to find one where there isn’t some sort of manipulation. Just like if you look through every building society in Mumbai, almost all of them have some sort of litigation involving rule-breaking. Which begs the question — when ALL have broken the rules, perhaps they aren’t the outlier; perhaps the system is.

I once dropped a wallet in the second-class compartment of a train, and a homeless person sleeping on the platform ran after me to return it. Direct theft, breaking the law overtly as a crime, is not in our DNA, regardless of economic status, which makes foreigners wonder, “Whoa, look, that person has nothing to eat and he won’t steal. India is great.” Similarly violent crime; unlike South Africa and Brazil, rife with burglaries and house break-ins, our cities are relatively safe at night and people don’t go around shooting up schools. Where we do outdo nations though, is in the ingenious manoeuvring of systems. If a handful of shady entrepreneurs think they can take a public-sector bank for a ride because the public-sector banks’ internal systems are weak, that’s not viewed as a crime in our culture, but as business acumen. The same is true for the actual employees within the bank as well. In some circles, the Vijay Mallyas of the world are seen as people who’ve outsmarted a system, not broken it.

The argument isn’t that every Indian promoter wants to take money and never pay it back, but that all of us — from the person who wants to adjust a menu in a restaurant, to the person drinking and driving, to the person illegally extending their balcony — we all have that tiny sliver in our head that says, “Well, why not try and bend the rules. No harm in trying.”

Nobody knows what the actual facts are in the diamond merchants’ case, and whether the amount is Rs 11, 400 crore, or a lot less or more. Currently, the easy narrative the media can shout about is that a man has taken Rs 11,400 crore and run away. Nobody is asking simple questions like, if that was the plan, why not shut shop and leave with all the diamonds, rather than leave behind hundreds of jewellery stores filled with jewels and 2,200 employees? The knee-jerk reaction, and the idiotic one, is always to arrest everyone from the promoters’ cook to his barber, none of which will actually help recover the money. What is indisputable is that Nirav Modi noticed a loophole in the system, as perhaps did Mallya, by convincing a banker that funding an airline was a good thing, as did Harshad Mehta, or 2G spectrum allocators, or people getting coal licences, or Lalu Prasad’s ability to see revenue in cow fodder. Spotting where a rule can be bent is intrinsic to who we are — it’s a talent. All that varies is the scale — for diamond merchants, it is Rs 3,600 crore; for the guy that goes down a one-way illegally, it is avoiding a Rs 200 fine.

Beating the system feels like a small victory, and it doesn’t matter what the system is. This is why we wouldn’t survive for long in Sweden or Norway. Not because they are advanced, but that everything in the system functions so smoothly that rules don’t need to be broken — and that would bore us.

As an aftermath to this, lots of honest small entrepreneurs who’ve maybe taken loans and deviated from the system (staying true to their DNA) in very small ways will bear the brunt, unfairly, of this one giant manipulation. As will the middle manager at the bank who may have made a little adjustment from bank norms to help a unique customer. Suddenly, everyone will try and prove that we are moral, upright people, and these things are not in our system — and that nobody has ever made an undue ‘adjustment’ anywhere for anything. Perhaps, after scam after scam, we need to realise that these people aren’t one-time criminals, but giant versions of our DNA.

MY Letter to the BANGALORE MIRROR  criticizing the EDIT PAGE ARTICLE “We are like this only” by ANUVAB PAL, BANGALORE  MIRROR, Dated February 21, 2018

Dear Sir,

                      

                                 SUBJECT:  Apropos the Editorial Page Article  -  “We are like this only” by ANUVAB PAL, BANGALORE  MIRROR, Dated February 21, 2018

           

            

                        The Article “We are like this only” by ANUVAB PAL, BANGALORE MIRROR, Dated February 21, 2018 is one  that to BLATANTLY tries to  COVERUP the  CULPABILITY / Responsibility of Modi’s / BJP  Central Government AND Nirav Modi & his UNCLE Mehul Choksi ( Big MODI’S “Hamare Mehul Bhai”!) in the MAMMOTH Rs. 11,400/- crores ( or even BIGGER?) P N B scam!

             

                          The entire THREAD / PLOT in the article “We are like this only” by ANUVAB PAL, BANGALORE MIRROR, Dated February 21, 2018 - is directed towards psychologically affecting the READER to form an OPINION that “All of us Indians have a SIMILAR habit ( He calls it D N A) of CHEATING / CUTTING Corners at Govt regulations / rules AND so he CLEVERLY puts across the MESSAGE IN BETWEEN HIS LINES – “why BLAME only Nirav Modi & his UNCLE Mehul Choksi” for  SUCCESFULLY DOING the  SAME “CHEATING / CUTTING Corners of Govt regulations / rules”!!!!!

           

                     It is truly MIND BOGGLING to note as to HOW & WHAT this writer is ATTEMPTING to accomplish! He is EQUATING a minor TRAFIC OFFENCE, a MINOR BBMP Plan Deviation and so on and so forth and similar minor, say - “CRIMES” with the GARGANTUAN 11,400 Cr ( or may be 21,000/- Crores) SWINDLE  by Nirav Modi & his UNCLE Mehul Choksi ( Big MODI’S “Hamare Mehul Bhai”!)

            

                                 From my above observations it is EASY to surmise that either this writer Anuvab Pal was trying to be “too CLEVER by HALF” to appear distinctly DIFFERENT from other CRITIQUES by other writers on this SHOCKING SWINDLE by a few, due to their CONTACTS / CONNECTIONS with the P N B top Brass & POLITICAL BIG WIGS; (Big MODI’s declaration “Hamare MEHUL BHAI” for Mehul Choksi - uncle of NIRAV MODI,  showing how INFLUENCE PEDDALING is RAMPANT now!)

            

                                OR , this ARTICLE is CLEARLY an ARTICLE that has been COMMISIONED by the Central Government ( as many other ARTICLES have started appearing in various Govt. Controlled Websites & News Papers?)and this writer is CULPABLE of TAKING COMMISION for writing such articles that provide, in a manner of speaking, “ COVER UP FIRE” to the Culprits so that they may escape LAW’s NET!

            

                                 I now would like to KNOW whether like the “TIMES NOW” –TV news Channel, Bangalore Mirror too has been commandeered by your owners / boards to toe the line of Modi / BJP Govt and to PROTECT their interests / ideology / policies at any cost both NATIONALLY & even in KARNATAKA,{ and simultaneously be DEAD against their OPPOSITION PARTIES (Read CONGRESS) again, both NATIONALLY and in KARNATAKA}, for the SAKE of getting some equally GARGANTUAN PATRONAGE that is  similar in value to their SCAMS you are require to put under the carpet?

           

                            I do EXPECT that this letter of mine will duly find a place in your “Talk Back” column, just like the MANY and REGULAR ANTI-CONGRESS letters that find their place in the same column and also LIKE the ANTI-CONGRESS NEWS REPORTS that have become a DAILY AFFAIR in your tabloid.

 FACE BOOK POST

This VERY POORLY DRAFTED BILL, that seems to have been DRAFTED in  GREAT HURRY without ANY KIND of CONSULT IONS with the PARTIES it is going to AFFECT purely with POLITICAL INTENTIONS, Mindlessly Criminalises act of  Pronouncing  “INSTANT Tripple Talaq and Imposes JAIL TERM of 3 years! But the FUNNY aspect of this THOROUGHLY JUNK BILL with CONTRADICTIONS & many MINDLESS hyperboles, Pronouncement of “INSTANT Tripple Talaq” by Muslim Men as a “RAPID means of Instant Divorce” has been already  MADE VOID by Supreme Court just 3 Months back in AUGUST-2017!( Though the Supreme Court has RETAINED as a VALID means of Divorce for Muslim Men and Women ;Tripple-Talaq-e-Ahsan & Tripple Talaq-e-Hasan, that is  Formal Divorce CARRIED out FORMALLY over Three or MORE MONTHS that includes PERSUASION by elders to reconsider the Decision etc)

So the  Neo-Sanghi-Fascist-Bharashtachar-Jumla-Party Government  has brought this horrendously INCOMPETENT / JUNK bill  CLEARLY with MALAFIDE Intentions & it is meant ONLY to  Harass Muslim MEN& not for helping Muslim Women in their Marital Strife!

 In fact this bill FOOLISHLY takes MARITAL STRIFE between Muslim Men & Women into a LEGAL QUAGMIRE of  ARREST of the MAN & his imprisonment  for 3 YEARS without  OFFERING any SUCCOUR from this SILLY GOVERNMENT to the WOMAN who will then be LEFT to FEND for HERSELF and  her CHILDREN due to this POORLY and MADLY drafted  UNCONSTITUTIONAL bill as it VIOLATES many of the FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS of the Muslim Men as EXPLICITLY Guaranteed in the Indian Constitution and WILL not STAND SCRUTINY by the SUPREME COURT and will be THROWN OUT as a NULL & VOID LAW that CLASHES and GOES AGAINST  innumerable FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS ( to EQUALITY before LAW) EXPLICITLY Guaranteed in the Indian Constitution !     

 FACE BOOK POST

PRECISELY, the REAL&SORDID MOTIVE of this"Bharashtachar-JUMLABAZ FEKU'S-U’Turn-Adani, Ambani’s- Sales Center-EVM-VVPAT-Rigging / Tampering-NEO- SANGHI-FASCIST-MAFIOSI-LUMPENS-GOONS-Party" is ONLY to HARASS MUSLIM MEN using this (UNLAWFUL)-LEGAL TOOL in the hands of a POLICE FORCE that has shown TOTAL BIAS against Muslims in all the COW-PROTECTION- VIGILANTE LYNCHING cases and has arrested only the Muslim VICTIMS of LYNCHINGS & not the Hindu so called Gau-Rakshak LUMPEN-GOONS and MURDERERS!

AND so Muslim Organisations should APPROACH Supreme Court immediately if this gets PASSED EVEN in the RAJYA SABHA also (through a CONSPIRACY of SILENCE by CONGRESS and OTHER Opposition Parties like the Trinamool Congress, BJD etc) AND get it declared NULL and VOID as early as possible by a CONSTITUTION BENCH since this BILL is BLATANTLY against MANY FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS guaranteed in the CONSTITUTION that BAR any kind of DISCRIMINATION on GROUNDS of Religion, race, caste , language AND also tries to CONVERT a CIVIL matter concerning MUSLIM PERSONAL LAW in to "CRIMINALITY? by equating "pronouncement of INSTANT TRIPPLE TALAQ" as a CRIME that will entail not one, or, two but FULL THREE YEARS of IMPRISONMENT and CONSPIRATORIALLY this FASCIST government has declared this CIVIL OFFENCE of "pronouncement of INSTANT TRIPPLE TALAQ"  that has already been DECLARED as VOID by a SUPREME COURT BENCH as a COGNISABLE as well as NON-BAILABLE OFFENCE – under which LAW / CLAUSE, a POLICE MAN can arrest a person ON HIS OWN DISCRETION or on COMPLAINT from any TOM , DICK, and HARRY and send him to JAIL through an ORDER of a LOCAL magistrate!!

Article by RANA SAFVI- On- this PERNICIOUS Bill on Triple Talaq : She was one of the  Women Warriors  who fought for getting SUPREME COURT DECLARE Instant  Triple talaq ( Talaq-e-Biddat)  as VOID & Unconstitutional

I'm a Muslim woman and this triple talaq bill is not what I fought for
At a time when Muslim men are already living in fear, one more law would be added to harass, jail and demonise them.

On December 28, a bill criminalising triple talaq was rushed through the lower house of Parliament and passed without much opposition. By late evening, the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2017 (triple talaq bill) had been passed.

In fact, the most vocal opposition was by AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi. It was opposed by MPs from the RJD, AIMIM, BJD, AIADMK and All India Muslim League. 

They called it arbitrary and flawed.

So, why was I, who fought tooth and nail to get the instant triple talaq declared null and void by Parliament, unhappy? How did I find myself on the side of the very people I had fought against in many TV studios over instant triple talaq?

We had all rejoiced when the Supreme Court declared the practice of triple talaq as unconstitutional. That is how it should be. It was a practise that had no basis in either Quranic or constitutional law. I had rejoiced as an Indian, as a woman and as a Muslim that Indian Muslim women would get justice and not be at the mercy of their husbands.

In Islam, marriage is a civil contract and not an eternal bond which can’t be dissolved. The Quran has prescribed talaq, but to be pronounced by the husband over a period of three months with attempts at reconciliation and arbitration. The woman can ask for "khula" which is a more complicated process and I had argued for a model nikahnama whereby both men and women have equal rights in matters of divorce. Matters of custody, maintenance etc, can also be pre-decided as the nikahnama serves as a pre-nuptial agreement.

taaa_122917012801.jpg

First of all, let me clarify that it was talaq-e-biddat or instant triple talaq (pronounced in one sitting) that is under discussion. This was often given in anger, in an abnormal state and many a times regretted. Now that the Supreme Court had made it illegal, it doesn’t hold. The woman who has had her husband say this is not divorced.

The reason for bringing this bill in Parliament was that despite that judgment it had not acted as a deterrent.

In fact, law and justice minister Ravi Shankar Prasad even said that despite the Supreme Court setting aside talaq-e-biddat, it is seen that it has not worked as any deterrent.

While fighting to get the instant triple talaq declared illegal and unconstitutional, I had argued as an Indian protected by the Constitution, as a woman who demands and expects equality, as a practising Muslim who is aware of her own rights as given by the Quran. Once again, I question the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2017 on the same basis.

I am neither a lawyer nor someone who has studied law. But as a responsible citizen of a democratic country, I have the right to question my government. My basic question is why was something that was already declared null and void sought to be criminalised? In fact, the Supreme Court itself did not ask this to be made into a law.

Now to the question - why am I worried?

This bill, if passed into a law, prescribes a punishment of a fine and imprisonment up to three years for the husband. It is also cognisable and non-bailable.

Let’s understand what cognisable means: it means that a policeman does not need a warrant to arrest the accused. It also means that the complaint can be made by not just the victim, in this case the wife, but by others too. In fact, any information against the husband can lead to an arrest.

Care to think how it will be misused? Anyone with an axe to grind can get a Muslim man jailed. The way our courts are over burdened it may be a long time before justice prevails. As Indian Union Muslim League MP, ET Muhammed Basheer, said it was “taking a gun to kill a mosquito”. There will definitely be more blood and damage in the house than that of a tiny mosquito.

The other provisions of the bill are subsistence allowance for the wife and dependent children and custody of children to the wife. Many argued last evening that how can a man who is in jail provide for his family or fight a custody battle for his children since no court will grant custody of children to a man in jail? A woman who sought to save her marriage by ensuring that instant triple talaq is illegal is not being served justice if her husband can be thrown into jail on a cognisable and non-bailable warrant. Just imagine her life. Imagine the life of her children. And to top it all she’s still married to him. Since the instant triple talaq has already been declared illegal she can’t even remarry after the iddat or waiting period.

This is a hasty bill, not well thought out and, of course, not well-drafted.

What was the hurry? Why was no member of the community that this bill was aimed at consulted? Neither the BMMA (Bhartiya Muslim Mahila Andolan) or Bebaak Collective, both Muslim women groups which had fought against instant triple talaq in the courts, were consulted. And this is why I'm worried.

In a climate where Muslim men are already living in the fear of being lynched for being perceived as cow smugglers, eating or storing beef, for "love jihad" etc, one more law could be added to harass, jail and demonise them.

"Shameful display of brute force passing the TT Bill turning muslim husbands into criminals , this is not what we fought for in the Supreme Court of India

— indira jaising (@IJaising) December 28, 2017"

Just as noted lawyer Indira Jaising, who too fought for making instant triple talaq illegal, tweeted, this is not at all what we fought for in the Supreme Court of India.

I'm a Muslim woman&this triple talaq bill is not wht I fought for-RANA SAFVI-SPOT ON!

YES this BILL is an"OPEN WARRANT"issued against MUSLIM MEN"on PRETEXT of HELPING MUSLIM WOMEN&goes against SEVERAL FUNDAMENTAL Constitutional RIGHTS

Mere Mehboob na ja, aaj ki raat na jaa from the movie “Noor Mahal” , Composed by Jani Babu Qawwal, lyrics by: Saba Afghani-1965

LINK to YOUTUBE:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVt7eG4AyWw

SUMAN KALYANPUR  got very few OPPORTUNITIES to PERFECT her art and to Really shine like in this WONDERFUL HAUNTING SONG, “Mera Mehboob na ja, aaj ki raat na ja” from the movie “Noor Mahal” , composed by Jani Babu ( Qauwal) with lyrics by Saba Afghani and whatever Chance she got to show her immense TALENT & VOICE , it was  because between 1964 to 1968 Rafi had a TIFF with Lata Mangeshkar on a matter of principle that after collecting their CONTRACTUAL PAYMENT from the Film Producers / Music Directors , the Play - Back singer being an EMPLOYEE of the  Film Producer / Music Director from one song to another, has no right to demand FUTURE ROYALTY in addition to the CONTRACTUAL AMOUNT but Lata Mangeshkar was DEMANDING ROYALTY in addition to the CONTRACTUAL AMOUNT for the first time ,which was  not the practice then, and so Rafi & Lata stopped singing DUETS  for four years (1964-1968) and becuase of this Vacuum of Rafi-Lata Duets, Music Directors like Shankar Jaikishan, Kalyanji Anandji,Naushad, Kayam, Sonik Omi, Usha Khanna,  Lakshmi Kant Pyarelal and many others started giving BIG BREAKS to Suman Kalyanpur for DUETS with RAFI  like the super hit duets –tujhe pyar karte hain karte rahenge and Kehdo kehdo jahan se, ishq par zor nahin-from the movie April Fool,(Shankar Jaikishan-1964,) Aaj kal tere mere pyar ke charche har zaban par- from the movie Brahmachari ( again Shankar Jaikishan), tum ne pukara aur hum chale aye – from the movie Rajkumar ( Shankar Jaikishan), Raat suhani  jaag rah hai, chupke chupke chori chori oh, from the movie Jigri Dost ( Laksmikant Pyarelal), agar teri Jalwa Numai na hoti- from Beti Bete,(Shankar Jaikaishan),Dile Betaab ko seenay se lagana hoga,from the movie Palki ( Naushad), Parbaton ke pedun par sham ka basera hai – movie Shagun ( Khyam), Itna hai tumse pyar mujhe mere razdar- from the movie Suraj ( Shankar Jaikishan), Ke jaan chali jaye Jia Nahin jaye- from the movie Anjana ,(Lakshmi kant Payrelal), kisne mujhe sada di Kisne mujhe pukara awaz dene wale awaz de dobara- from the movie “Saaz aur Awaaz ( Naushad), na na karte pyar tumhin se kar baithe- from the movie – jab jab phool khile- (Kalyanji Anandji),Tujhe chaha,tujhe pooja, bas itni qata hai meri aur qata kya- From the movie – Choti si Mulaqat- (Shankar Jaikishan), Tu jangal ki morni te main jangal ka mor- from the movie Raja Saab ( Kalyanji Anandji), Tum se oh hasina na- from the movie FARZ ( Lakshmikant Pyarelal) and so on and so forth – many more or countless such duets  she got to sing with Rafi and above all this solo GEM –“Mere Mehboob na ja, aaj ki raat na ja”for which one can say that EVEN if one doesn't understand the LANGUAGE  one can’t  MISS the  the Pathos and Pining  that Suman Kalyanpur has put in to this  WONDERFUL rendition by her and  in a most HAUNTING VOICE  that is MATCHLESS  and I venture to say that even LATA MANGESHKAR'S many Haunting Melodies like " Naina Barse rim Jhim, Lag Ja Gale " both from Woh Kaun Thi , and "Kahin deep Jale Kahin Dil" from the movie Bees saal Baad AND the marvelous composition of Salil Chaudhary "aaja re Pardesi, main tu kab se khadi iss paar" from the movie Madhumati, AND the OLD - gem from MAHAL, "ayeg ayega, aane wala, ayega ayaega", though these too are GEMS from Lata Mangeshkar, but the above song sung by SUMAN KALYANPUR - "Mere Mehboob Na Ja, Aaj ki raat na ja"; I am sure, most music lovers will RATE this TRULY HAUNTING & PATHOS filled SONG by Suman Kalyanpur,HIGHER than all the other haunting songs of Lata Mangeshkar that I have listed above.

The NEWS REPORT of the SAVAGE KILLING of senior Journalist Gauri Lankesh at her home in Raj Rajeshwari Nagar in Bengaluru on September 5, 2017 by suspected Extreme Right Wing GOONS

 MY TAKE on this GRUESOME MURDER of Senior Journalist Gauri Lankesh by suspected Extreme Right Wing GOONS

 Apropos the heinous murder of Senior Journalist Gauri Lankesh for her ‘middle of the road’ social, secular & constitutionally upright views’, by suspected Right Wing Fringe Groups, is to be condemned unequivocally. Date September 7, 2017   

            The heinous murder of Senior Journalist Gauri Lankesh, who was shot dead on September 5^th, 2017 evening ( Ironically on  “Teachers DAY”!) for her ‘middle of the road’ social, secular & constitutionally upright views that were Rational and  totally against Bigotry & Superstitions of all hues, is to be condemned unequivocally.

            She was barbarically shot at from a range of 6-7 feet & purportedly seven bullets were fired towards her from very close range by suspected Right Wing Fringe Group Members , out of which, three bullets pierced her body as per the police Report.

            The manner of her assassination was identical to the Modus-Operandi used in a similar  assassination of M.M. Kalburgi , two years back by the same suspected group of two or three assassins, with suspected membership to some Underground Right Wing Fringe Group  professing  Fascist ideology of eliminating all dissent & dissenters physically if the dissenter seemed to be  strongly against their fascist ideology and if he or she had become a thorn in their flesh.

            Strangely & coincidentally, all the four  recent assassinations, starting with Narendra Dhabolkar (August 20, 2013), Govind Pansare (February 20, 2015)-( both in Maharashtra) and Malleshappa Madivalappa Kalburgi (August 30, 2015)& now Gauri Lankesh ( September 5, 2017)(these two in Karnataka) have identical Modus Operandi and apparently have drawn  a leaf out of the Modus Operandi that was used by Nathuram Godse to assassinate Mahatma Gandhi on 30^th January 1948.( Note: Nathuram Godse was purportedly an  R S S member who had resigned from RSS membership only a few days ahead of his successful attempt to assassinate Mahatma Gandhiji so as to COVER UP his Liaison with other RSS bigwigs like Veer Sawarkar who was  another accused in the Mahatma Gandhi Assassination Trial but was acquitted due to lack of CLINCHING EVIDENCE of his involvement in that Conspiracy of the most GRAVE POLITICAL ASSASSINATION of the 20^th Century ; that of Mahatma Gandhi).   

            Not only the common Modus Operandi  of the series of Assassination of well known dissenters against the Extreme Right Wing Ideology (that gets termed variously as Implementation of “HINDUTVA or SANTAN DHARMA or HINDU RASHTRA” in India, by altering its present nature of being a Democratic, Socialist & Secular Republic into a Majoritarian – Hindu Rashtra) points clearly to some already identified Extreme Right Wing Fringe groups operating from Pune and Goa, it also Clearly Establishes the lackadaisical approach of all the INVESTIGATIVE AGENCIES involved – CBI, Maharashtra COD and Karnataka COD, towards these murders, since even Dhabolkar’s murder that is more than four years old remains UNSOLVED, showing  a DELIBERATE ATTEMPT by these agencies to GO SLOW & eventually put these MURDERS permanently UNDER the CARPET by closing their files as “Unsolved Crimes!

            The Diabolical Nature of the Sequence of four Assassinations in four years and the spreading Culture of Violence , especially amongst Lumpen Goons belonging to the Political Extreme Right wing is truly a Dangerous Portent for our fledgling democracy that is already under strain due to its multitude of diverse ethnic and religious groups competing for a share in  political power and a share  in the cake of economic benefits that ensues with capturing of political power.

            So, the Indian State, center & the state Governments should all rise above narrow political gains and unitedly FIGHT this SCOURGE  as otherwise our FOURTH PILLAR of DEMOCRACY the MEDIA together with outspoken Tall & Colossal Public Speakers / Iconic Writers  who champion Freedom Of Speech and Expression and fight for Equality & Fraternity amongst all citizens and especially those who Fight against Bigotry and Superstitions of all hues,  will all be at great risk of getting Physically Eliminated like Gauri Lankesh was!

MY various TAKES on the HYPED Triple Talaq Issue that is being used by the SANGHIS to beat the Muslim community with and to shamelessly POLARISE the SOCIETY along religious lines for  Electoral Gains.

DATE: May 13, 2017

               

I)               Apropos the Hype, Hyperbole and Hoopla that the whole nation (Including the Supreme Court!) has been pushed into by a very clever, Goebbelian  use of media by the  Extended Sangh Parivar over an issue that concerns totally and is obviously intrinsic to Muslim Sharia – Triple Talaq, that concerns only an infinitesimal  fraction of Muslim women-Date May, 12,2017

            

There is CERTAINLY more to it than what MEETS the eye, behind the Lip-service being offered and crocodile tears that the Sangh Parivar Conglomerate is shedding over the Muslim Women’s rights!

It is all the more hypocritical of men like Venkaiah Naidu, Arun Jaitely and even the PM who are mouthing platitudes and giving sermons ad-nauseum  to the Muslim community over this contentious Muslim Personal Law issue, at a time when they are failing to ensure even the Fundamental Right to LIFE  of Muslim MEN, especially those from the lower economic strata like Cattle Traders and Dairy farmers many of who are being harassed and victimized by Goons and Lumpen elements masquerading as “Gau-Rakshaks”  in the most savage manner, a lawless vigilantism that has already caused six gory  deaths so far in the last two years.

So, this all-round Hype, Hyperbole and Hoopla that has been orchestrated through the media by the extended Sangh Parivar is clearly for Political Reasons, and only as a ploy to raise one more communally sensitive, contentious & polarising  issue obviously for electoral benefits .

Why is this government, that has, defacto  (and - dejure; shortly, if R S S Chief becomes the President of India?), a back-seat Driving HEAD, from  the Hindutva Organisation - R S S , does not focus on the ills of Dowry Deaths, Child Marriages, Female Infanticide, Honour Killing, Female Malnutrition, whose incidence is highest among the Hindus and more importantly, on elimination of  the millennia old Scourge of an otherwise tolerant faith Hinduism-the pernicious practice of un-touchability against Dalits, that is still practiced with impunity despite strict laws against it, by the upper caste Hindus and more so in Rural India ( Segregated Colonies, Separate Wells, Separate Tumblers  at Tea shops for Dalits, and the most chillingly abhorrent practice of SEATING DALIT CHILDREN separately for partaking of the Mid-Day meal even in SCHOOLS, etc)?

AND with a method in their madness, every now &and then these hypocrites raise some controversial issue or the other so as to either divide and polarize the society along religious or caste lines for electoral gains or to DIVERT the ATTENTION of the MASSES away from the UTTER FAILURES of this government in fulfilling most of its election campaign promises and other failures on all other governance fronts.

It is High time that Free and Independent Press ( more so National Dailies like The Hindu with reputation of being a 130 years old warrior for dissemination of TRUTH) stops becoming   mouth-pieces for the Sangh and should come out openly against these Oft-repeated Goebbelian trick of propaganda ( just like it was used in Hitler's Germany) comprising of spreading  half-truths, slander and calumny as GOSPEL TRUTH, that the “Far Right Extended Sangh Parivar” uses for Covering up Gross Incompetence and failures of their  B J P government.    

II)            APROPOS- “Clearing Misconceptions” created through disinformation propagated mischievously by communal vested interests around the Sharia law on divorce in Islam ( with a clear intention to use it as a handle to beat the Muslim community with and for polarising communities on religious line for electoral gains).

(1)   NIKAH (marriage) in the Muslim community is not a Sacrament, like it is among Hindus and Christians. Nikah is primarily  an “AHAD” meaning a “Contract or Agreement” between a “Consenting Adult Male” and a “Consenting Adult Female” member of the Muslim Community, to live together with all conjugal rights and duties as endowed up on them by the Sharia.

(2)    As such, the Nikah ceremony is ordained to be and is in most cases,  a simple OATH TAKING CEREMONY over a written agreement by the two consenting adults and gets consummated in less than 15 minutes in the presence of close relatives, with one proposer and  one witness from the Girl’s side and another witness from the Boy’s side who also sign the marriage register that records, apart from all other details, the AMOUNT of DOWER ( call it a surety amount or REVERSE-of-DOWRY!) that the husband will pay, immediately or in a deferred manner to the wife. This Dower amount is fixed mutually by the two sides but it is PRIMARILY the responsibility of Girl’s Parents /relatives to fix a reasonable sum in proportion to the Boy’s earnings and existing wealth.

(3)   Just as the NIKAH is consummated in a peaceful manner and  without much fanfare, the Sharia law provides for  a married couple who feel they are no more compatible and are at loggerhead very often and whose marriage is no more sustainable, a Controlled, Simple

     and Well delineated route of dissolution of their marriage called ‘talaq” (Divorce). Where as in     other communities it ends up being a hard drawn out legal battle that leaves both husband & wife “imprisoned in a traumatic and unwanted relationship” for an unpredictably long period, till they get the divorce from the civil courts after many years!  

(4)   As per Sharia, Talaq from the Man’s side has to be  completed in three stages – with a Gap of three months in between the declaration of  intent to divorce so that in case the couple wants, they  may reconciles their differences during those  three months GAP that they get between the first and the third declaration of talaq by the man so that they can continue as man and wife. All other deviations are Highly Repugnant “Biddat” that Islamic Sharia does not approve or accept.

(5)   Like a Muslim man has a right to dissolve a Failed Marriage, the Muslim woman too has this right, called “ Qula” where she individually or with her relatives approaches the “Qazi-e-Shehar” ( adjudicator), to dissolve her marriage and gets it dissolved in front of witnesses so that the DIVORCED MAN  CAN NOT IMPOSE UP ON HER AGAIN through FORCE!

(6)   In case of a man divorcing his wife, he necessarily has to shell out  the AMOUNT of DOWER in HARD CASH or in terms of Gold promised to the wife and has to return all the Jewelry and gifts that she would have got from her friends and relatives, as well as any JOINT ACCOUNT CASH that she had contributed through her own  earnings, apart from  maintenance amount towards her maintenance commensurate with their normal living standard for three months after divorce called the period of “iddat” after which the woman is free to marry to any other person of her choice.

(7)   The hype over “NIKAH-HALA” is actually TURNING a RULE that is in fact in favour of the woman / wife into something obnoxious! This LAW is meant to DETER men from taking a hasty decision on talaq as a WARNING that in case after Talaq gets firmly consummated and later if he regains his feelings of love and attachment of his divorced wife, he wouldn’t be able to go back to her easily and hence has to think dispassionately before divorcing her. 

So to conclude, the hype, hyperbole and hoopla that has been generated over a DEVIANT PRACTICE of “simultaneous declaration of talaq three times by ignoramuses, wrongly being referred to as ‘triple talaq’, is totally unwarranted as TALAQ among Muslims is always a “Three STAGE and deferred TALAQ”! AND, just due to a FEW Muslim men, deliberately misinterpreting and “MIS-USING” it, one need not “throw out the well established and Sacrosanct Sharia Law on divorce –that will be akin to throwing the baby out with the bath water! AND so, I hope the Supreme Court will really go through the entire GENESIS and PRACTICE of the Sharia Law on divorce instead of getting mislead by the deliberate hype, hyperbole and hoopla generated around the misnomer of “triple talaq”.

AND this is the BASIS for COURTS to decide on issues connected with PERSONAL LAWS:

1950s judgment of the Bombay High Court in State of Bombay versus Narasu Appa Mali continues to hold fort. The Narasu Appa Mali judgment had held that personal law is not ‘law’ under Article 13. The court had observed that reformation of personal laws is best left to the legislature as "chosen representatives of the people" and not the judiciary. It said the phrase ‘customs and usages’ in Article 13 does not include personal laws of various religions.
