That Manish Sisodiya giving a speech for school kids before getting arrested really gives the vibes of a wicked prank played on him by Arvind Kejriwal.
One of the biggest co-incidences of our times is that Arvind Kejriwal even looks like Petyr Baelish.
If the state provides financial aid to rape survivors or acid attack victims, it makes complete sense. However, it is complete nonsense to register a criminal case under the SC/ST Act over a simple verbal fight between two individuals. Declaring one individual a victim and giving them lakhs of rupees before anything is proven makes no sense at all. The @narendramodi government has basically created an excellent employment scheme for a specific section of society where you just file an SC/ST Act case Or daba kar paisa kamao . HISAB CHUKTA
Buxar, Bihar: A Hindu shopkeeper was attacked by a Muslim mob, called a “Kafir”, and threatened with the bombing of his family, home and shop. After Jumma (Friday) prayers, a mosque announcement instigated the Muslim mob to assault him and demolish and loot his oil mill.
Salman Rushdie lost an eye to an Islamist attacker. One would hope he did not lose perspective with it.
Perhaps he has now calculated that attacking PM Modi is safer than attacking the ideology that actually tried to kill him.
Criticise PM Modi, earn applause from the same ecosystem that routinely rationalises Islamist grievance.
Confront Islamist extremism with the same ferocity, and the consequences can be rather more personal.
What an extraordinary inversion!
This is a man whose book was banned in India by the Rajiv Gandhi government, whose life was placed under a death sentence by Ayatollah Khomeini, and who was stabbed repeatedly in New York by a man prosecuted over an attack linked to that fatwa.
Imagine getting arrested overnight, with no chance to explain your side. That was possible under the SC/ST Act, until 2018 safeguards required a basic check first. The BJP government then removed those safeguards. Automatic arrest came back. Since then, courts have found many personal disputes turned into caste cases. People have lost jobs, reputation, years in court, before ever getting a fair hearing. The law must protect real victims. But no one should live in fear of a call at midnight. Bring back the safeguards.
Hear this monologue of Pradeep ji, infact all BJP leaders should do

Did you know?
-In SC/ST act, 75% compensation money is paid before the case is proven in Court (25% on FIR, 50% on filing chargesheet).
-& There is no mechanism to recover money in fake cases.
And FYI,
I was threatened under SC/ST act for saying this in an online show 😂😂😂
In 2022, the entire liberal jamaat came after me for saying that Muslims were not welcomed during Navratri.
Here's what I had written
‘Muslims must stay away from Garba’: A viral tweet and a conversation I must have with my readers

A massive and alarming security crisis has hit Kashmir: Lashkar-e-Taiba offshoot United Liberation Front (ULF/ULC) has issued an open, direct threat to all 7,000 Kashmiri Pandit PM Package employees.
In an extreme case of targeted doxxing, sensitive personal data—including private phone numbers, home addresses across Jammu & Kashmir, and vehicle registration details—has been leaked online, warning employees to quit immediately or face fatal consequences.
Leaking such critical data puts thousands of families in imminent danger. @HMOIndia and @OfficeOfLGJandK must urgently investigate this catastrophic data breach and guarantee airtight security for every employee on the ground.

This is how Ajeet Bharti is fighting for his family and the General Category against the court, the system, the government, Modi act and the opposition. History will remember this lone wolf fight.
The hypocrisy is unbelievable
This is Arvind Kejriwal from 4 years ago
He is furious that MCD wants to demolish illegal constructions in Delhi
They were in favor of people making illegal buildings
Now if one of these buildings falls, blame is on BJP!
Hardly a bhakt, but the spectacle of Salman Rushdie being highly concerned about Hindu nationalism in India being a threat when his eye was gouged out in upstate New York by a California born Muslim 33 years after the Iranian ayatollah declared a fatwah on him for writing a book… is quite something.
If Dipke can nearly go scot-free after smearing a celebrated Air Force veteran using a fake video, what exactly is the message about the state’s willingness to act as a fair arbiter?
At some point, this starts looking like trepidation before the neo-blue brigade whose politics seems about fomenting fault by hook or crook
Why the issue of hostility towards Muslim men at the Navratri-garba celebrations cannot be explained by lazy and prejudiced theories of ‘Hindutva-wadis fanning anti-Muslim sentiment under the current Bharatiya Janata Party rule at the centre’:
1. Concerns of ‘love jihad’ are not figments of imagination:
When Hindus object to one-way interfaith love relationships with Muslims (where men are Muslims and women are Hindus), so-called ‘liberals’ deride them as 'regressive' and being against love itself.
But would the same liberals deride BR Ambedkar for expressing similar concerns in his seminal 1945 work Pakistan, or The Partition of India, where he wrote,
…the Hindus are right when they say that it is not possible to establish social contact between Hindus and Muslims because such contact can only mean contact between women from one side and men from the other.
To substantiate his point, Ambedkar compared this concern of Hindus with that of Europeans.
He wrote, “It is interesting to note the argument which the Europeans who are accused by Indians for not admitting them to their clubs use to defend themselves. They say, ‘We bring our women to the clubs. If you agree to bring your women to the club, you can be admitted. We can’t expose our women to your company if you deny us the company of your women. Be ready to go fifty-fifty, then ask for entry in our clubs’.”
This skewed interfaith relationship pattern between Hindus and Muslims was one of the many reasons that Ambedkar cited to advocate complete transfer of India’s Muslim population to the proposed Pakistan.
As per Hindu groups, many Muslim men have used Garba venues during the nine-days of Navratri to trap Hindu women in relationships by introducing themselves with fake (Hindu) names, with an eventual aim of their religious conversion or sexual exploitation.
Cases of this pattern are often described with the phrase ‘love jihad’, a term coined by Christian groups in Kerala more than a decade ago. Allegations against Muslim men of trapping non-Muslim women for their conversion have been made by Christians including senior members of the Church in Kerala, Jains, Adivasis, Sikhs and Buddhists besides Hindus.
Several women have filed police cases against men for either posing as Hindus to enter into sexual relationships with them and revealing much later that they were already married or harassing them after marriage to follow Islamic faith and customs.
An alarming number of such cases have ended up in the women either committing suicide or getting murdered by such men.
Even in the recent arrests at Garba venues, several Muslim men were found to have used fake Hindu names to enter, which only justifies the concern of Hindus.
However, it is not desirable for a multi-cultural society to paint the entire community as potential ‘love jihadis’ for wrong-doings by some. What about genuine Garba revellers?
It is pertinent to note here that all Muslim men restricted from Garba venues in the past were found to be single, that is, unaccompanied by women at the time of their entry.
In the parlance of hotel-and-restaurant industry, such men are called ‘stags’, and their entry is restricted at most pubs for concerns that they come to the venue only for women.
Perhaps the young Muslim men wishing to dance at Garba venues should bring young women from their families along. It would be “fifty-fifty”, as Ambedkar put it.
2. Attacks on Hindu processions for music, refusal to chant Vande Mataram, treating worship of Hindu deities as haram:
In almost every season of Hindu religious processions, communal violence is witnessed when such processions pass by mosques.
Such violence has been a fixture of Hindu religious processions for more than a century, that is, since more than three decades before the partition of India to create a separate Muslim country. The trigger was, and continues to be, the Ulema’s insistence that music is haram in Islam.
In the same book on Pakistan, Ambedkar wrote, “…Music may be played before a mosque in all Muslim countries without any objection…But in India the Musalmans must insist upon its stoppage for no other reason except that the Hindus claim a right to it.”
Even if this diktat on music by the Ulema is flawed, hypocritical and bigoted, the fact remains that police in all corners of the country bend to this diktat and force Hindu processions to adjust to it.
When the police chart out route for a Hindu procession, they insist that the accompanying DJ must be switched off when devotees pass by a mosque. Even the slightest digression from this rule triggers in stone-pelting on the processions in so-called ‘Muslim areas’.
If even the administration endorses this bigotry, if the only reaction from major Muslim voices to these attacks is to criticise the playing of music and entering in ‘Muslim areas’ and not the attacks, then how are Garba organisers expected to not suspect a temporary show of love towards devotional music during Navratri?
Navratri is annually observed in honour of Goddess Durga. As per the Ulema, the festival and its celebration, thus, is haram for Muslims. As per the Ulema, believers of Islam cannot bow to anyone other than Allah.
So forceful and effective this diktat is that the prohibition on Muslims against chanting of ‘Vande Mataram’ enforced by the Ulema at the beginning of 20th century in British India, continues even today. The poem contains references to goddess Durga.
In 1908, Sir Syed Ali Imam of All India Muslim League called Vande [or Bande] Mataram as a “sectarian” cry and a propaganda of “Hindu nationalism”. The Congress Party, then the largest representative of Hindus, gave in to the Ulema and declared that “only the first two stanzas should be sung” as National Song since these do not have any religious connotations.
In the post-partitioned India, prominent Muslim seminaries such as Darul Uloom and Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind continue to stand by their fatwas that singing Vande Mataram is haram for Muslims.
Attempts by various administrative bodies to popularise Vande Mataram have been met with vehement opposition from Muslim political parties and social organisations.
A fatwa by Darul Uloom on worship of goddess Saraswati, made in the context of a controversy over Saraswati Puja in West Bengal government schools, says, “It is haram for a Muslim to participate in it. It is not lawful to help in the Puja (worship) or make donation. Hence Muslims should be concerned and try to save the children from such acts so that Muslim children are saved from polytheistic practices in the school. Or they should establish such schools that are free from such acts.”
If opposition to any gesture of piety towards any Hindu goddess is officially the position of the Ulema, if the diktats are religiously followed by the Muslim community, if even the administration gives in to their stand, then how are Garba organisers expected to not suspect a temporary gesture of devotion towards goddess Durga during Navratri?
3. Future of religious syncretism:
The question then is, what about those Muslims who do not adhere to these religious rulings? Should they be turned away from Navratri celebrations?
This question needs to be addressed in a larger context. Again quoting from Ambedkar’s book on Pakistan, such Muslims can at best be described as those whose conversion to Islam is incomplete.
He wrote, “…What are pointed out as common features [between Hindus and Muslims] are not the result of a conscious attempt to adopt and adapt to each other’s ways and manners to bring about social fusion. On the other hand, this uniformity is the result of certain purely mechanical causes. They are partly due to incomplete conversions. In a land like India, where the majority of the Muslim population has been recruited from caste and out-caste Hindus, the Muslimization of the convert was neither complete nor effectual, either from fear of revolt or because of the method of persuasion or insufficiency of preaching due to insufficiency of priests. There is, therefore, little wonder if great sections of the Muslim community here and there reveal their Hindu origin in their religious and social life…”
Ambedkar called this “religious amalgamation” between Hindus and Muslims the “result of a dead past which has no present and no future”.
Already, several organisations are actively pursuing the task of completing the ‘incomplete conversions’. Global movement Tablighi Jamaat, headquartered in New Delhi, is one such.
It’s an aggressive proselytising organisation that takes converts as far as possible from their Hindu roots in the name of “Islamic revivalism”.
Instead of being criticised for its goals and activities, the organisation enjoys massive support from the community including its most elite section.
The ongoing demand of Hijab in government-run schools is another manifestation of growing popularity of an orthodox interpretation of Islam that rejects any Hindu connection of the Muslim converts as haram.
This means that for so-called syncretism to be preserved, all markers of Islamic orthodoxy must be condemned and discarded. These would include opposition to Vande Mataram, Saraswati Puja and slogan of 'Jai Shri Ram', and insistence on Hijab, no music outside mosques and cow slaughter. These would also include popularity of slogans such as ‘sar tan se juda’ for so-called blasphemy of Islam.
Unfortunately, the outrage from the Muslim society of India against Islamic orthodoxy continues to be very cautious and quite inadequate. If voices form within the society that stand against orthodoxy strengthen, that would be a sustainable and healthy foundation for communal harmony.
As long as these sentiments continue to be dismissed as “Sanghi agenda”, there cannot be peace. There will only be suspicion and mistrust.
I am not supporting or opposing anyone, but if any OBC or GC girl rejects a marriage proposal from an SC/ST boy, then that OBC/GC girl and her family will go to jail for 10 years without any bail. There is such a law in India. Lol, this should be news in the international media.
The Indian courts simply do not get this: that millions of Muslims who pour on to the streets demanding Sar Tan Se Juda are merely following the fundamentals. They are not mad. They are not terrorists. They are not fanatics. They are law-abiding. Their law is Sharia.
My views:
FYI,
This is the same trial court judgement passed on 7th September.
Also, note the statement by court:
"Had the offences under the SC/ST Act not been involved, it might have considered granting relief to Bharti, as the incident appeared to have been spontaneous in response to a comment."
Means if SC/ST act was not invoked, bail would have been granted as it was not a serious offence.
Shows exactly what we have been telling from long time-consuming
"SC/ST act is against the natural principle of justice."
Serious reforms are needed in this law ASAP.
25% compensation can be released at the FIR stage under the SC/ST Act, before a court establishes whether the allegation is true.
What happens when a law meant to protect victims becomes vulnerable to exploitation for revenge or financial gain?
Read the cases that reveal the darker side of alleged SC/ST Act misuse.
