Schools in Noida/Greater Noida to remain shut for Guru Dronacharya Mela tomorrow. Sometimes it’s Kanwar Yatra, other days it’s pollution/heat wave/cold wave. When will the kids study? Education, it appears is the last priority in Uttar Pradesh.
En France, on ne demande pas aux femmes de s'effacer. Aucun dogme, aucune religion n'est supérieure aux lois de la République.

The RSS was a pro-colonial organisation that, after 1947, has actively worked to disunite Indians and promote the Hindutva ideal of a de facto second class citizenship for non-Hindu Indians.
