Request caretakers of all prominent mosques in India to construct a small dance floor for such special occasions. Doosron ki aastha ki respect karni chahiye.

An MP from India’s ruling BJP has caused outrage by using a series of racist slurs against Muslim MP Danish Ali during a debate in parliament about India’s moon mission ⤵️

Adivasis of JADS reached Burhanpur in large numbers & protested Nitin’s arrest which they declared as an attack on their non-violent struggle for legal & constitutional rights.
Nitin Bhai has been falsely implicated. We are not going to be cowed down by such attacks!

[Jagrit Adivasi Dalit Sangathan @JADS_mp]

JAGRIT ADIVASI DALIT SANGATHAN ACTIVIST NITIN FALSELY ARRESTED IN BURHANPUR, MP!

On 28.08.23 Nitin was arrested after being implicated in a false case.
This is the latest in a series of attacks by the Madhya Pradesh govt against JADS over the past few months!

My article for the Indian Express on Uniform Civil Code and Muslim Women.

"Since women’s concerns, especially the welfare of Muslim women, have taken centre stage in the debate, we must hear what Muslim women want, even if disagreements are to follow."

[Mohammad Salman @writesalman]

In Maharashtra, from Mid May to Mid June
40 M girls got married to Non Muslim boys
52 M boys got married to Non Muslim girls
It proves
1) Claim of 1 lac #LoveJihad cases in state is Rubbish
2) Hate speeches provoking H boys to marry Muslim girls (or #BLT) is not working
Cont..

Now here's a surprise: guess who pronounced himself against the idea of a Uniform Civil Code? Guruji MS Golwalkar himself, longest-serving sarsangchalak of the @RSSorg (1940-73), in an interview to KR Malkani, editor of @eOrganiser, in 1973 (attached).
In his own words, "ekrupata zaroori nahi hain. Bharat mein sada aparimit vividhtayein rahi hain." "Prakriti atyadhik ekrupata nahin chahti." "Phir bi dhyan is baat ka rehna chahiye ki yeh vividhtayein rashtra ki ekta mein sahayak ho."

#ExpressOpinion | Muslim women’s voices are infantilised, dismissed, and they are forced to choose between false binaries such as education or hijab, Indianness or Muslimness, writes Sania Mariam

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

"The Muslim woman is paradoxically the most hyper-present and invisible figure in the political discourse in India. Her life is constantly a subject of public discussion, while her own opinion on it is nowhere to be seen."

[Sara Ather @sarah_ather__]

Moral policing is barely ever about morality and pretty much always about policing. A desperate attempt to restore control and transfer their crushing anxieties on those who are even more vulnerable than them.

[Jagrit Adivasi Dalit Sangathan @JADS_mp]

Update in the matter of the arrest of Antaram Awase and the attack on JADS:

Hundreds of Adivasis in Barwani courted arrest in Barwani protesting the politically motivated arrest of Antaram Awase and the on going campaign against JADS activists
