@INCIndia: #The_Bakers_Dozen_Names

Supporters of #IndianNationalCongress claim, their party gave India the freedom at midnight. They know not the fact that the INC underwent several episodes of fission throughout the post Independence period.
#Part1 Image
Original Congress had "Tricolor with Charkha" as the flag from 1931 to 1947. After 1947, it was given up as Congress became a political party from a freedom movement.

Nehru's Congress had "Two bullocks with a plough" as the symbol from 1952.
#part2
The 1971 fission was the biggest and the faction lead by Indira Gandhi acquired the "cow with suckling calf" symbol. The "Hand" became Congress symbol only from 1977.

#Constitution offers basic guidelines & principles for the efficient functioning of our nation.

It dictates the fundamental political principles, powers & duties of the government & also enumerates the fundamental rights, directive principles & duties of the citizens.

The Constitution was framed in a way to ensure that the Parliament does not have the power to override it.  

However, according to me, 3 amendments introduced in the Constitution during the #Emergency1975, tweaked this very characteristic of the Constitution.

Soon after the #USRIOTS, #Islamists in #India have given a call for similar riots in India. They are trending #MuslimLivesMatter. Shame they didn’t say that #LivesMatter, & not the religion.
In this thread, I would like to prove that #Islamophobia_In_India is a MYTH.

India was partitioned on the grounds of religion twice. First in 1905 and second in 1947. But the 1947 Partition is significant to the current scenario. All of us know the demographical condition of India at that time. It was a #Hindu majority and it still is.

Despite this fact, #India has always been a secular country. The basics behind this #Secularism is in the ethics of #Hinduism. NO religious text in #Hinduism promotes hatred on religious backgrounds.
