ایک پہچان "ظرافت بد اصل / نقلی خوش طبعی" کی یہ ہے کہ جب وہ کسی محفل میں بیٹھا ہوتا ہے، تو صرف اسی کے قہقہے کان میں آتے ہیں، اور گرد اس کے متین اور معقول لوگ خاموش بیٹھے نظر آتے ہیں اور جب "ظرافت اصلی" محفل آرا ہوتی ہے تو آپ کمال سنجیدگی سے بیٹھی ہوتی ہے، گرد اس کے سب ہنستے ہیں۔ +
Delhi: Vishwa Hindu Parishad National Spokesperson Vinod Bansal says, "The mindset that is destroying Aligarh Muslim University is still alive even after eight years. Perhaps elections were stopped eight years ago in the hope that the disruptive and anti-national mindset that was intent on spoiling the atmosphere at Aligarh Muslim University could be restrained. But now that elections have been held, a student contesting for the post of students' union president was seen raising slogans in support of Sharjeel Imam and Umar Khalid. The kind of statements being made in support of Gaza and Palestine also suggest that the disruptive mindset is not the only one present there; an extremist mindset is also still alive."
Aligarh Muslim University has announced the results of its Students’ Union elections, marking the selection of a new team of student representatives. Noman Ashraf has been elected President, Nashra Naim Vice President, and Mohammad Hamdan Honorary Secretary.

Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh: On AMU Students' Union Elections 2026, AMU Students' Union election, Presidential Candidate, Mohammad Intakhab says, "My name is Noman Ashraf, and I am a candidate for the post of President. This time, I have raised three, four, or five key issues at Union Hall. One of the issues is demanding the Bharat Ratna for Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. Since BHU founder Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya has already received it, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan should also be awarded given his immense contributions. Second, I have demanded the release of AMU alumnus Azam Khan and strongly condemned the unnecessary torture he is being subjected to. Third, I am raising the issue of nepotism and corruption within the university..."
Sharjeel is making a historical argument here: that secularism in India from its very inception was deeply inflected with Hindu idioms, and even the most “well meaning” acolytes of secularism such as Gandhi and Nehru deployed a language of nationalism that was rooted either +
The Central Government has told the Delhi High Court that it plans to “remove” a century-old mosque on the premises of Krishi Bhawan. It said that retaining the structure within the office complex is “impermissible and incompatible with the secular character of Government property”.

That is how many names are on the SIR ASDD (absent, shifted, dead, duplicate) list in Karnataka. One in every five voters on the 2023 roll.
Behind every one of those numbers is a person. A daughter who married and moved to another village. A migrant worker away for the harvest. A young man who stepped out when the booth officer came. A transgender citizen who has already spent a lifetime fighting to be counted.
At SABAR Institute, we went through every single name, all 224 assembly constituencies, and this is what we found:
🔹 85% of those removed are alive. Only 15 in 100 were marked dead.
🔹In 5 Bengaluru seats, more names were deleted than the number of people who voted there in 2023.
🔹 42.7% of Karnataka's third-gender voters are on the list, more than twice the rate for everyone else.
🔹 Outside Bengaluru, among young voters marked "shifted", twice as many women as men were removed.
🔹 Poorer districts, and districts with more Scheduled Caste residents, lost more voters.
We did this because a name on a roll is not paperwork. It is a voice. When the most vulnerable are struck off quietly, someone has to count.
But here is the truth: SABAR Institute is entirely crowdfunded. No corporate money, no party money. Just people who believe this work matters. And right now, we are running out of funds.
We have shown it can be done. We want to do this for every state that goes through SIR. We can't do it alone.
If this work means something to you, please support us, with a monthly contribution or a one-time donation, whatever you can. Every rupee keeps this going.

اہلِ دنیا سے کسی چیز کی قیمت نہیں لی
ہم نے جو کچھ بھی کیا عمرِ دو روزہ میں کیا

The Hindu’s investigation in Delhi’s Mustafabad has found hundreds of applications seeking to delete Muslim voters from electoral rolls during the SIR, even though those targeted continue to live at their registered addresses. At one polling booth, all 28 voters named in the objections were found to be living at home. Our correspondent @suruchiarchives reports on the findings.

He chose to spare his family and protect them from danger, facing his fate alone.
He has now joined his two brothers, who were also killed in a previous Israeli airstrike.

BREAKING:: @jmiu_official has set May 15, 2027, as the deadline for approval and implementation of the students’ union constitution. Students had demanded approval by December 20. The university said elections would be held within six weeks of the academic session beginning, approximately six weeks from July 16, 2027. It also ordered the revocation of disciplinary notices, suspensions, rustications and campus bans linked to the protest, directing students to call off their hunger strike immediately. The agitation for restoration of JMISU began on October 12.
However, the decision on whether to call off the protest and hunger strike will be taken collectively by the students after due deliberations.
