When 200,000 Muslim children disappeared overnight from Uttarakhand, PM Modi was shocked to see this!

In fact, for the last several decades, children studying in madrasas were being given scholarship from the government exchequer every month. But as soon as the Uttarakhand government asked the bank accounts of these children to be linked with the Aadhaar card number, 1 lakh 95 thousand 360 children went missing simultaneously. So far, the government was distributing scholarships worth Rs. 14.5 crore every year in the name of these missing students. Which has now reduced to only 2 crores.

Tories, Missing the Point?

In 2019, Conservative party in the UK attributed their big win to the role of the Indian diaspora on their stance of non interference on Kashmir. A year on, this seems to have been forgotten with the formation of a fringe group by 7 Conservative MPs calling it, Conservative Friends of Kashmir, leaving the voters utterly confused over the party stance.

Porous borders of Kashmir

Mr Jawahar Lal Nehru, where have you landed your own Kashmiri brethren – your own flesh and blood? What were you thinking? Did the political pressure of the British and their western allies weigh far heavier than your love for Kashmir and it’s people? You might be considered a great visionary by some but the decisions you made have had far-reaching and disastrous consequences for the future generations of Kashmir.

The secularism of Javed Akhtar

The story related to the film Deewar written by Javed Akhtar is familiar. The hero of the film is a Hindu, an atheist who hates the Hindu religion so much that he doesn't set foot on even the stairs of the temple. He doesn't even touch God's prasad. But the same atheist Hindu hero, has an Islamic religious symbol, the number 786 billa on his arm which he deeply believes in! It's the same billa saves his life when a bullet hits him.
