"Impediments to the realisation of peace necessarily trace their origin to violence. What needs to be imparted crucial scrutiny is the fact that this violence is never always physical. Sometimes it emerges from a desire to dominate, sometimes it emerges from passion and sometimes from debates that eventually degrade into some argumentative arsenal. Therefore it is always wise to stop and think for a while, where would all this lead us to. What would the consequences of these debates, discussions or argumentative warfares be. And above all, will it enable us to lead our short lives in a better manner or in some complex and subtle ways enrich our discomfort to ways and manners hitherto unseen and unknown."

@necromancer Haha. Irony! 

You think violence in form of preventing women forcefully to not enter in blatant violation of SC judgment is a protest.

But, you are the same person who is perturbed by someone opposing today's judgment peacefully and mark it is a anti-India.

Epic!


Eh, I’ll bite. 

Today’s judgement was simply a trigger. It’s just one in a series of continuous observations I’ve made over the years. Hijab = not Indian culture, didn’t originate here, a foreign import growing in prominence due to the rising Saudi influence on Indian Muslims. Court declared it non-essential to Islam->reaction of the Muslim community like their very existence is now under threat and that it is a continuation of a series of ‘encroachments’ of their faith (prayer in mosque etc.). Had the court gone the other way and declared it essential, would you have supported it? Do you know what that means? That every Muslim woman is now bound to wear the hijab. The court simply upheld what was always the norm, hijab isn’t essential, never was; rules on uniform in educational institutions takes precedence over religion. Here I’m not even going into the debate if hijab should even be used or not. 

You raised up the Sabarimala issue. A sect that follows its own practices, on their own religious premises. An issue which has no elements of comparison except that the broad concepts of court and religion is involved. None of the devotees had any problem, the people who raised the issue did so based on their own personal motivation. They weren’t devotees and had no role. Even then, the cultural practice that was followed had a local origin. Where I can easily construe why they’re so willing to defend this practice. This doesn’t hold for the hijab case, does it? 

If you want to raise the Sabarimala issue, why not raise it in conjunction with entry of women in mosques? Why is a Muslim woman petitioning for an entry to a temple she has nothing to do with instead of campaigning for her sistrens and their entry to mosques?

I see no point in comparing these two cases.

The only irony I see here is a Muslim woman supposedly fighting against patriarchy for an entry to a particular temple vs Muslim women fighting for a permanent imposition of patriarchy on themselves.

@Akkku which violence are you talking about? Last I checked, protest was legal in the country. Even in that case, though I support the judgement, that was a blatant overreach by the judiciary imo. Additionally, wasn’t one of the petitioners a Muslim? What role does she have in a religion and a sect that doesn’t concern her? 
Plus, the situation we’re talking about isn’t comparable. But of course this is the kind of whataboutery expected from your ilk of spineless cowards.

like the way you cement your arguments

this should be done in current scenario where suddenly a veil of victimhood has become a norm

i usually dont mince words when something is going on in the name of something else (you know what this is). i take stand, unless i am writing a upsc answer in which case a 'nuanced' stance is needed

This victimhood is continuing since ever. For this judgement also which is declared by state to bring reforms in a country against a practice which is protested almost everywhere in the world will be called Nazism and some particular religious group which forms majority in this country will be blamed.


Just like how Barkha Dutt justified genocide of minority in Kashmir by people of "peaceful" faith.

Just saw The Kashmir Files yesterday, cried and cursed secular/ peaceful faith.

I know what it feels like to wait for mob of peace to attack. The movie triggered a lot of painful memories. It's a great tragedy that Hindus are being murdered and we don't even recognize it as a genocide.

There was a committee made after Godhra "Sabarmati train" burning that said 2000 peaceful people assembled for peaceful purposes and fire was an accident. If you're a Hindu there's a constant fear that peaceful religion will kill you and nobody will care.

Issue is this only, none from "peaceful" community will condemn the wrong done by their community members and will also defend to their because of loyalty toward brotherhood rather than humanity or country. Those calling it out will be issued a special order ("sar tan se juda" how peaceful this slogan is ! ) 


Let's see if judiciary has spine to take notice of contempt of court by some of the verified profiles on twitter who are saying they don't align with such constitution and calling judiciary as "zaalim" and much more worse and obviously bashing the majority and a political party (who are not related to this case.) 

Probability of me getting contempt for this comment is more than twitter ones. :)


Jai Shree Ram !

On the Hizab judgement, I feel people are not differentiating between Burkha and Hizab as seen in image posted in this thread above.

Also for upsc we celebrated how Indian secularism is more inclusive then French and why is it better. In India Hindus too wear tilak and thread on hand etc. Whereas france has strict ban on any religious symbol.

Also in Sabrimala case you are preventing someone else (women) to enter, whereas in Hizab case you want to cover your head and neck. 

Further it is true that wrong has been done to Kashmiri pandits. But it should be remembered it is always powerful (in democracy, it is majority) oppressing minority. In Kashmir muslims did wrong to Hindus, but similar is case when muslims killed in Ayodhya 1992 or Sikhs in 1984 or Muslims in Godhara or Brus in Mizoram. Though Kashmiri pandits could not return to their home that is tragic but I think that is due to terrorism (foreign nation sponsored) and because they were relatively affluent community so translocated. 

In Albert Camus's words, "Democracy is not rule of majority but protection of minorities." 

Edit: It was highly insensitive and wrong for me to say that Kashmiri Pandits were affluent community so translocated. Hence I want to apologize for my wrong behaviour on such an inhuman action.

I was wondering when I'll see the intellectual comment. Big words followed by random quote to justify everything peaceful people have done. Completely ignoring empirical evidences from all over the world.

I agree, it's alright for minorities to kill majority because minorities are always the ones opressed. The only problem is, Hindus were reduced to minorities themselves by pseudo intellectuals, commies/retards and the fact that Hinduism is a disunited and unorganized religion. It's not even a religion but still only Hindus are religious fanatics.

-secularism inclusive hai tabhi to educational institutions mein unformity karna hai.

-france me public life me hi religious symbol allowed nai hai.

-in kashmir, the locales were also involved in killing of pandits. they were brainwashed and whatnot.

"they were relatively affluent so translocated". translocated. are you onto some sasta nasha or what

I joined FORUM IGP but they are giving no option for one to one mock and demand DAF to be submitted, which seems illogical. I mean, where do I find an original empty DAF sheet?

Is joining Vision Interview Programme better until results are announced?
