"I do believe in simplicity. It is astonishing as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit.

i love nature docs & i recently came across one that hit me super hard. turns out the labords chameleon’s life cycle is extremely short. they live only 4-5 months & immediately die after laying & burying their eggs (which is their only purpose)z

in the final moments their nervous system begins to fail as their brain loses control of skin cells, so random nerve firings cause the skin to randomly change colors which causes a ridiculous art as they slowly die. it’s like sort of a visualization of the brain’s final flickerings.

pristine example of nature’s beauty, tragedy, & brutality at the same time.

It is important to remember on every Independence Day that Muhammad Ali Jinnah was "visionary" not just because he recognized the threat from Hindu Mahasabha and the RSS but also from the Machiavellian perfidy of a Hindu body called ‘Congress’ which was going to inherit the political power from Raj.

The 1914 Congress had a total of 856 delegates, in 1915 there were 2190 and in 1916 there were 2249. Of these, the number of Muslims were less than 1% in 1914, 2% in 1915 and 3% in 1916. In 1937, 97%, membership of Congress was Hindu.

Dr Ambedkar, who made the Indian constitution, said:

“It is foolish to take solace in the fact that because the Congress is fighting for the freedom of India, it is, therefore, fighting for the freedom of the people of India and of the lowest of the low. The question whether Congress is fighting for freedom has very little importance as compared to the question for whose freedom is the Congress fighting?”

Jinnah was hailed as an ambassador of Hindu Muslim unity by people as big as Gokhale and Sarojini Naidu. He wanted Muslims to be treated as equals instead of minority but the events of 1937-39 changed him forever.

Jawaharlal Nehru’s first real test as a political leader came with the Provincial elections of 1936-37. Nehru campaigned tirelessly and covered 80,000 kms in about 5 months. Eventually Congress was elected on 761 out of 1161 seats it contested. Out of 485 Muslims seats, it contested only 58 and won 26. At this time, the membership of Congress was 97% Hindu. Across British India, it could not even find candidates in 90% of Muslim constituencies.

In Nehru's own province, Uttar Pradesh, the most populous in India, Congress swept the board of Hindu seats but it had not won a single Muslim seat.

Crowning over the results, Nehru announced in hubris that there were now only two political powers that mattered in India: Congress and the British govt. Eventually, Congress formed ministries in Madras, Bombay, Orissa, Bihar, United Provinces and Central Provinces to begin with. Later on, it formed ministries in NWFP and Assam.

By 1938, eight out of eleven provinces were under Congress rule and party membership soared from 470,000 in 1935 to 4.5 million with 97% Hindus.

Those 28 months of Congress rule were a nightmare for Muslims. There were 57 serious communal riots in which 1700 casualties were reported in Congress ruled provinces. Along with this:

1. Congress adopted ‘Vande Mataram’ (anti Muslim song from a Hindu novel) as national anthem.
2. Hindi in Devanagari script became official language.
3. Congress tri colour flag became national flag.
4. Steps for creation of a Congress Army were taken.
5. Mandar Scheme aimed at promoting Hindu culture by making Mandar education necessary at elementary level was introduced.
6. Warda Taleemi Scheme was enforced to displace idea of Two Nation Theory from minds of Muslim children at schools.
7. Cow slaughtering was banned.
8. Construction of new mosques was banned.
9. Muslims were denied govt offices and expelled in many cases.

R. Coupland, who has made a detailed study of the period, is of the opinion that Congress totalitarianism was exhibited to overawe the minorities. “For to set a party above the people, to identity its organisation with the State, is to override the minority problem”.

Churchill said that during this short period, Congress had resorted to police firing on civilians so much that it killed more people in comparison to 200 years of British rule. It was a severe indictment but well deserved.

These events had confirmed the worst fears of Muslims.

Jinnah said in Oct 1937:

“On the very threshold of what little power and responsibility is given, the majority community has clearly shown their hand: that Hindustan is for the Hindus”.

With the fall of Congress govt in 1939, Muslim League announced it as Day of Deliverance.

Subsequently, on 23rd March 1940, Lahore resolution for an independent state was adopted by Muslim League.

So true - cancelled my Netflix sub after this

@motasim Haha I was thinking of opening an account there after taking a look at their prestige branch in DHA.
Their 2.3/5 rating on Google stopped me 😂

[EHMADN'T @justEhmad]

@ghostinvoid @motasim Also, their fees are quite high

[EHMADN'T @justEhmad]

@rahimaq22 Fixed percentage or linkage to policy rate doesn’t make it riba - that’s a common misconception.
Absence of a tangible asset in a transaction or having more than one price after a contract has been signed makes it riba.

[EHMADN'T @justEhmad]

@teepusahab Fasset looks good and promising, but they need to lower their fees a bit to be competitive

@AmmarRashidT If they actually wanted to improve governance, the focus would've been on trickling down the authority to local level - not spending more on bureaucracy

[EHMADN'T @justEhmad]

@sitarastan With tyranny! Prevailing the will of the people will be too dangerous for them to accept
