The Central Government’s unilateral and coercive decision to make “Vande Mataram” the national song and to mandate all its stanzas in all government programmes, schools, colleges, and functions is not only a blatant attack on the freedom of religion guaranteed by the Constitution of India but also a systematic attempt to curtail the constitutional rights of minorities.
Muslims do not prevent anyone from singing or playing “Vande Mataram”; however, some verses of the song are based on beliefs that portray the homeland as a deity, which contradict the fundamental belief of monotheistic religions. Since a Muslim worships only one Allah, forcing him to sing this song is a clear violation of Article 25 of the Constitution and several judgments of the Supreme Court.
Making this song mandatory and attempting to impose it on citizens is not an expression of patriotism; rather, it reflects electoral politics, a sectarian agenda, and a deliberate effort to divert public attention from fundamental issues. The true measure of love for one’s country lies not in slogans but in character and sacrifice. The shining examples of which can be seen prominently in the historic struggle of Muslims and the Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind. Such decisions weaken the country’s peace, unity, and democratic values and undermine the spirit of the Constitution.
It must be remembered that Muslims worship only one God; they may endure everything, but they cannot accept associating partners with Him. Therefore, making “Vande Mataram” compulsory is a clear assault on the Constitution, religious freedom, and democratic principles.

A Chemical Banned in Italy.
Now India Is Being Asked to Live With It.
Most people have never heard of PFAS.
They are often called “𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝘀” because once they enter water, soil, or the human body, they almost never leave.
But that is not the news.
The news is that chemicals that many countries have 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱 are now being produced in India.
Reports show that before this shift, a major PFAS manufacturing operation was 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘆.
Italian authorities later found PFAS contaminating 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀, and 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀.
The scale of pollution was so severe that the 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁, and its executives were sent to prison.
PFAS production, however, did not disappear.
It simply 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗱.
Shifted to a country where people are already struggling with industrial chemical discharge into rivers.
And who pays the price?
Not corporations.
Not urban elites.
It is 𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻.
-----------------------
As 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘆𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁 has pointed out, ecological damage is never neutral.
It is always an injustice to the poor, those with the least power, the least awareness, and the least ability to resist.
This is why, if people remain unawakened, such issues will never receive limelight.
And when there is no public pressure,
why would leaders feel any urgency to act?
Inspiration for generations to come, you’ve made every Indian proud with your fearless cricket and belief throughout. You guys deserve all the accolades and enjoy the moment to the fullest. Well done Harman and the team. Jai Hind 🇮🇳🇮🇳
#UPDATE
She was the daughter of a poor farmer, who fought against all odds to become a doctor — the pride of her family, the hope of her village. 🤍
But instead of being respected for her service, she was mentally harassed by multiple people, humiliated during night duties, and threatened & Raped when she refused to make fake medical reports.
The main accused — an MP, his PA, and police officers — are all deeply involved
👉 Prashant Bankar has been arrested
yet only one arrest has been made so far.
Is this what justice looks like?
Will power, politics, and uniform always crush truth and integrity?

Remember this accounts , report them , block them expose them
Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine.
I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September.
The urgent priority today is to end the war in Gaza and to bring relief to the civilian population.
Peace is possible.
We need an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and massive humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza. We must also ensure the demilitarization of Hamas, secure and rebuild Gaza. And finally, we must build the State of Palestine, guarantee its viability, and ensure that by accepting its demilitarization and fully recognizing Israel, it contributes to the security of all in the region.
There is no alternative.
The French people want peace in the Middle East. It is our responsibility — as French citizens, alongside Israelis, Palestinians, and our European and international partners — to prove that peace is possible.
In light of the commitments made to me by the President of the Palestinian Authority, I have written to him to express my determination to move forward.
Trust, clarity, and resolve.
We will achieve peace.
SOS! the volunteers on 'Madleen' have been kidnapped by Israeli forces.
