There's a Garba event near my place that I've been attending for the past 3 days, and the organisers have laid down strict rules.
Garba starts only after the aarti, and anyone who wants to participate must be present during the aarti. The entrance is closed once the aarti is over. Everyone entering the event is given a tilak and a rudraksha mala.
There's even a separate space for elderly people so they can enjoy Garba comfortably with their own generation, while the younger crowd dances separately.
The organisers are very strict about maintaining the traditions and discipline of the event.
I've been attending for 3 days now, and so far, there's been no controversy, no fights, and no drama like we've seen at other places. Everything is running smoothly.
If Garba events were organised this way across the country, we wouldn't see controversies at Garba pandals everywhere.
@IrfanHindustan The educated ones spew venom against India in English. The uneducated, slaughter cow within University campus. Both do it to satisfy the anger of the suppressed Pakistani Army gene, injected by the Pakistani Punjabi Army during the 1971 war.
It is difficult to believe how far a country can descend until witnessing the incident at Jagannath University in Bangladesh.
A slogan is heard in Bangladesh: “In Shah Jalal’s Bengal, there is no place for Gour Govinda.”
Haven’t I repeatedly said that pretentious pseudo -secularism exists only because India provides a safety net? Shift the demographic composition by 50%, and secularism will vanish.
These Bangladeshi People whose DNA is rooted in Sanatan traditions—whose fathers and grandfathers four generations ago may have borne surnames like Ghosh, Bose, Mondal or Pal—now claim kinship with uncles in Yemen and Syria. O Lord, should I wash my face or take a full bath to cleanse this hypocrisy?
Gour Govinda was the king of the local Gour kingdom in Sylhet. Born in the soil of undivided Bengal, his kingdom lay on land that constitutes Bangladesh today. Shah Jalal came from Yemen.
Archaeological evidence above and beneath present-day Bangladesh’s soil shows this region was a major centre of Buddhist and Vaishnava traditions for centuries.
Under the Pala dynasty (approx. 8th–12th centuries), Bengal was a world-class centre of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. The scholar Atisha Dipankara Shrijnana spent considerable time here. Atisha, a son of Bengal, was born around 982 CE in Vajrayogini, Bikrampur (present-day Munshiganj).
Bhagavata traditions and Vishnu devotion existed in the region from the Gupta period.
The Kantanagar Temple (Kantaji Temple) in Dinajpur exemplifies 18th-century terracotta architecture dedicated to Krishna. The Puthia Temple Complex in Rajshahi houses the Govinda Temple. The Jagannath Temple in Cumilla and Dhamrai’s centuries-old Rath Yatra form part of the region’s Sanatan heritage.
Gour Govinda belonged to this land. Atisha was a son of this soil. The monasteries of Somapura and Mainamati are proud legacies. Shah Jalal, from Yemen, was an outsider.
Full stop.

As usual, Indian journalists assume that nobody else knows anything about the outside world. In Bern, where Switzerland's Federal Parliament is located, demonstrations on public property generally require prior authorisation. The deadlines range from one week for small gatherings to three weeks for most demonstrations and six weeks for major rallies exceeding 10,000 participants. During parliamentary sessions, demonstrations on Bundesplatz are permitted only under specific conditions, including a maximum of 50 participants and restrictions on noise, with access to Parliament kept unobstructed. Organisers must also comply with applicable laws and permit conditions. **The right to protest does not mean the right to ignore the law.**
Here are the regulations https://t.co/vP4psjW9NO "Nationalrat will mehr Einfluss auf Bundesplatz und \"Bundesmeile\""

They now know that calling their ‘protest’ a regime-change operation was a huge blunder.
So, they are trying to normalise the term by claiming they mean to change the regime through elections.
BTW if Prashant Bhushan meant Regime Change through elections, why was he talking about Bloodshed?
Also, elections are still 3 years away. What regime change is he talking about?
Don’t fall for their propaganda.
What they mean and what they are planning is anarchy. It’s an open rebellion against the country.
Afsar Ali Khan, Sandip Ghosh's enforcer from Belgachia, has built an empire off syndicate cash, now flaunting a ₹40 lakh car at R.G. Kar Hospital.
Last year, this muscle-for-hire was seen in the Deputy Superintendent's office, speaking with Dr. Manas Banerjee, the Principal. This is the ugly face of syndicate-fueled corruption—pockets lined, power unchecked, and the system rotting from within.
How long will these syndicate kingpins keep hijacking our institutions?
