A refresher on the #ShahBano case where Congress took away maintenance money from divorced dependent Muslim women for appeasement of its patriarchal spokespeople with an act ironically titled The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 against Supreme Court ju't
In 1932, Shah Bano, a Muslim woman, was married to Mohammed Ahmad Khan, an affluent and well-known advocate in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, and had five children from the marriage. After 14 years, Khan took a younger woman as his second wife.
Then after years of living with both wives, he divorced Shah Bano when she was 62 years old. In April 1978, when Khan stopped giving her the ₹200 per month he had apparently promised, claiming that she had no means to support herself and her children.

It is birth anniversary of the original #RaGa. #RajivGandhi was born on 20th August. I am inspired to write this after looking at Congress relaunching Rahul in Rajiv mood with a new wig and new set of artificial dentures.

Rajiv wasn't just original RaGa. He was the original Pappu too. What Rahul is doing today for the BJP, Rajiv began that process in 1985. He laid the foundation stone for the phenomenal growth of #BJP from two seats to 330 plus.

The trinity of Father, son and Holy Ghost; RaGa, RaGa and #SoGa have practically handed BJP over to India and India over to BJP.

With #ShahBano, #Ayodhya, #IPKF and #Bofors, Rajiv was the Haley's in Blunderland.

After a long time,i watched #karanthapar's show, not just coz Youtube 'recommended' it to me,but also coz he was interviewing #ArifMohammadKhan sir.

& I WASN'T DISAPPOINTED.👌

1)how seeds of communalism were actually sown by Rajiv G with #Shahbano & then opening locks of Babri.
2) About the need of historical perspective to see things coming 👌
3) Regarding colonial mindset(divisive measures that led to partition)that still exists in India.
He asks-"When i was MP,was i representing the given territorial area or was i representing the muslim community?"

Epic Ans to people like @asadowaisi who asks what thapar asked here

SC says it has other 'priorities' rather than decide on decades-old #AyodhyaRamMandir case
