His name was Arif Mohammad Khan.

He was 36 years old. A Cabinet Minister in Rajiv Gandhi’s government.

In 1985, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of Shah Bano, a 73-year-old Muslim woman from Indore who had been divorced after 43 years of marriage.

Her husband paid her a small sum under Muslim personal law and claimed his obligation was complete. The Supreme Court disagreed.

It said Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code applied to every Indian citizen, regardless of religion. Shah Bano was entitled to maintenance.

Arif Mohammad Khan stood up in Parliament and defended the judgment.

He said the law must protect every Indian woman without exception. It became one of the most powerful speeches heard in Parliament that decade.

Then the government reversed its position.

Facing pressure from orthodox religious leaders, Rajiv Gandhi’s government passed the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986. It effectively nullified the Supreme Court ruling. Shah Bano would no longer receive maintenance under Section 125.

Arif Mohammad Khan refused to support the bill.

He resigned from the Cabinet. His political career collapsed. He spent years out of power.

Shah Bano later withdrew her claim under community pressure. She died in 1992 without ever receiving her maintenance.

The principle overturned in 1986 was effectively restored decades later through later Supreme Court judgments, including the Triple Talaq verdict of 2017.

Thirty-one years later.

Arif Mohammad Khan would later become the Governor of Kerala.

He once said: “I did what my conscience told me. I have no regrets.”

His party called it a mistake. History did not.

Follow for stories India deserves to remember.

There was a time when Uttar Pradesh was routinely placed in most backward state lists, almost by default. Today, the numbers tell a different story.

1. UP’s GSDP is projected at ~₹36 lakh crore in 2025–26, growing at around 12%, with an 8-year CAGR of ~10.8%, outpacing the national average.

2. The state budget has more than doubled, from ₹3.47 lakh crore (2016–17) to nearly ₹9 lakh crore now in less than a decade.

3. Per capita income has doubled, from ₹54,564 in 2016–17 to nearly ₹1.1 lakh.

4. Over ₹3 lakh crore has been paid in sugarcane compensation in nine years, compared to ₹2.1 lakh crore in the previous 22 years.

5. On development indicators too, progress is visible. In the SDG India Index, UP moved from 29th place in 2018–19 to 18th in 2023–24.

Strangely, for a state so often discussed for its problems, its improvements don’t receive proportionate attention. Maybe steady progress is less dramatic than crisis headlines. Or maybe some narratives are simply harder to update. Either way, something is changing in UP, and it’s worth noticing.

India : At 10 PM, a foreign woman got lost, alone and terrified after Google Maps failed. With no one around, Rapido rider Sindhu Kumari stopped, reassured her, and safely dropped her to Hotel Coconut, turning fear into relief. Salute to this brave Indian woman rider.

It was a moment to behold. He became the Prime minister. But cruel fate and friendships intervened. He lasted only 13 days.

He was Atal Bihari Vajpayee. And through his resignation speech he made us realise, we are not only the world's largest democracy but also the greatest.

हमारे शास्त्रों में कहा गया है - गाव: सर्वसुख प्रदा:'।

लोक कल्याण मार्ग पर प्रधानमंत्री आवास परिवार में एक नए सदस्य का शुभ आगमन हुआ है।

प्रधानमंत्री आवास में प्रिय गौ माता ने एक नव वत्सा को जन्म दिया है, जिसके मस्तक पर ज्योति का चिह्न है।

इसलिए, मैंने इसका नाम 'दीपज्योति' रखा है।
