My view is that Kuranic instructions and life of Mohammad are without context and to be followed in letter and spirit for all time by all muslims ... That is the main thing which makes modern day muslims eulogize Muslim despots of the past

🚨 Forensic psychologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun just systematically destroyed Lindsay Clancy’s defense.

He evaluated her over a full 3-day period and testified under oath:

• She has bipolar II and depression

• She was not in a manic episode when she killed her children

• She has never had psychosis — postpartum or otherwise.

• She maintained full awareness that her actions were criminal.

• She planned the killings deliberately.

• This was “altruistic filicide” meaning killing those she loved because she believed it would help them, but was not insane when she did it.

No temporary insanity. No postpartum psychosis. No loss of control.

She knew exactly what she was doing.

Lindsey Clancy is going to fry.

Example of the twisted secularism we follow in India. On Sanatan & hindutva, every neta is an expert. They decide what is essential, what's wrong, what is 'poison'. They won't wait for scholars but the moment it's hijab or triple talaq, halala, they refer it to religious scholars. Only 1 faith is fair game for endless lectures!!

हैलो @kritisanon हो सकता है आपके यहाँ ये रिवाज हो…..

लेकिन भारत में कोई भी बहन अपने भाई को उस तरह के कपड़े पहनकर राखी नहीं बाँधती। राखी आदिकाल से चली आ रही हमारी संस्कृति और सभ्यता का हिस्सा है

इसके पहले आप फिल्मों से लेकर सार्वजनिक जीवन में ऐसे कपड़े पहनती रही हैं। तब तो कभी किसी ने आपको कुछ नहीं कहा। लेकिन हमारे त्योहारों को लेकर ऐसी अभद्रता अस्वीकार है

फर्जी महिला विक्टिम कार्ड खेलने की जगह आत्मचिंतन करिए। हिंदू त्योहारों की संस्कृति का सम्मान कीजिए।

1. What's wrong with the Giva ad?

Nothing you see on TV/advertisement or/big screen, especially in big budget projects, is innocent or accidental

The Giva ad continues a broader trend in how film-entertainment and ad industries have treated cultural sensitivities of the two majority communities very differently for years - something Gems of Bollywood has exposed so clearly

Look at the way popular culture has marketed Hindu festivals for years. For instance, check any compilation for suggestions for Diwali playlist:
“Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai”
“Let’s Nacho”
“Tamma Tamma Again”

But typical suggestions for Eid playlist:
“Noor-e-Khuda”
“Maula Ali”
“Kun Faya Kun”

Typical media suggestions for Diwali outfit ideas these days: sexualised styling - cleavage, revealing blouses, familiar Bollywood glamour

Typical outfit suggestions for Eid: Rich and covered

This means that they know what cultural sensitivity looks like, what a family gathering looks like, what sanctity of a festival looks like

But they apply it only where they want

The test of their intention is simple. Look at the image attached. Imagine her holding a plate for Iftari and the text saying Eid. Will any brand ever run such an ad?

2. Are these ads really made to increase sales during Rakhi?

The primary purpose of such an advertisement is not to sell jewellery for Rakhi. Conduct a market survey. Show consumers the ad and ask them whether the imagery is prompting them to buy Giva jewellery on Rakhi for their sisters. I doubt the answer would be overwhelmingly yes

Modern advertising works at a deeper level than simply saying buy this product. It is often aimed at shaping long-term attitudes

When the same kind of imagery is repeatedly used around certain festivals, weddings and family occasions, it leads to normalisation of a particular culture

Much of it seems to be aimed at creating a society where every aspect of a woman's life is sexualised. I would say it is the same mindset that wants to legalise adult men having sex with schoolgirls

3. How should the public respond?

Stop treating these celebrities as icons and withdraw your interest from them

The same actress as in the ad did Thumkeshwari item number and then pretended to be Ma Sita on screen - until we vehemently opposed it, ran a campaign, people responded and the movie bombed

Reject them from every aspect of your life where you have a choice

Let this tweet chain be an answer to every idiot who claims that Brahmins enjoy reservation in temples.

The actual reality is this: TTD board has constructing temples to be headed by Dalit priests. But the positions are hard to fill because individuals from these communities do not want to go through such hectic training for such a meager salary of a pujari.

YouTuber Ajeet Bharti has moved Delhi’s Patiala House Court seeking anticipatory bail in an SC/ST Act case registered over a social media video.

His lawyers argued that no offence under the SC/ST Act is made out, while the Court summoned the investigating officer and sought the police’s response.

The matter will be heard next on August 31, with the Court set to examine the bail plea further.

Your women are your tilling fields. Men are in charge of women by right. Strike the wife if she remains arrogant. Wives must submit to husbands.

These verses are not from the Manusmriti. Would @RahulGandhi dare to mention them when talking of misogyny and patriarchy? My views:

Reservation is not a fundamental right.
And Debate on merit is not SEDITION!
