Dalit community from all over India has converged in Delhi to protest the demolition of Ravidas Mandir in Tughlakabad by DDA.
And if you think this isn't an anti-brahmanical hegemony march,I'll suggest you talk to anyone from this crowd.
Bhim Army's chief, Chandrashekhar Azad's presence in this rally makes one thing clear. He is evidently the numero uno leader that Dalits feel led by. Time for Muslims to take a leaf out of the Dalit 'jan-andolan' if they want to deal with the problem of communalism in India.
"Hansraj Raj, 42, who travelled to Delhi from Punjab's Jalandhar, asked, 'How is our demand different from that for the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya? If that is so important for a particular community, this is important for us'."

Let me break it down for the dimwits who ask HOW is CAA against India's Muslims.
When a nationwide NRC happens,if Rahul,Amit,Manpreet,Peter,Tenzing,Boman,Ali are found as illegal immigrants living in India,CAA will ensure that only ONE out of these 7names doesn't get citizenship.
Considering we can't get proofs of education of the most powerful man in this country,u expect poor Indians to be equipped with documents to prove their citizenship?
Only Muslims will suffer post NRC thanks to CAA.Any non-Muslim,with or without papers,has been safeguarded by CAA.
To hit the point home because some idiots still are obfuscating facts and asking how CAA and NRC can be seen together, our Home minister Amit Shah had said this in October 2019:

Today, the urs of Shah-e-Hamdan would have been observed with much fervor in Khanqah-i-Moula in Srinagar.

Hazrat Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani was a Persian Sufi and poet who shaped the lives of Kashmiris & is Kashmir's patron saint.
6th Dhul Hijjah is his death anniversary.
Kashmiris sing this folk song for him:
Bed dargah khanqah, terwei
Yeti Auras bedi bedi pervei
Temi angane berkat servei
Bed dargah Khanqah terwei
Teti Aurad bedi bedi pervei

Let us flock to the shrine of Shah-e-Hamdan at Khanqah-i-Moula
Let us recite Aurad loudly
in an..
.. impressive tune
It is Ofcourse the gifted spot
It abounds in saintly blessings
The shrine of Khanqah-i-Moula is a place of unimaginable veneration.

I'd also like to share one of Shah-e-Hamdan's poem and a will he wrote to a king from a book my mother gifted me.

Anybody who thought I "made up" the story about my friend & her sanghi bf, now husband, please see this.
Stuff like this is actually thought.
As for the verses Dixit ji is pointing out, the context of both is when Muslims who came to do hajj pilgrimage were attacked & killed..
.. by the Quraysh tribe (who had not converted to Islam and were opposing Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h.) inspite of signing a treaty with the prophet for not attacking pilgrims during the pilgrimage.
The people who attacked were friends, some of them were even family.
The Quran..
.. has been sent in parts over a period of 23 years to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). So verses ARE situational. Every chapter, in the Quran, mentions the location where the verse was sent upon the Prophet. Also the Quran is not compiled in linear format. The..

one like = one tweet relating to postrats in some form. who knows where this might go?

(max 100 tweets, no purchase necessary, entry limit of at most one like per account, tweets have no cash value)
1. The obvious stuff first: "postrat" contains a prefix "post-" applied to a root "rat". The root refers to the "rationalist" community. Thus, postrats have an intrinsic tie to the rationalists.
2. The prefix "post-" in "postrat" means "subsequent to", "after", etc. So the postrat is distinguished by means of a spatial or temporal metaphor in relation to the rat: postrat is perhaps "what happens to a person after rationalism" or "a philosophy subsequent to rationalism".

1. As we get ready to celebrate a huge civil rights victory for LGBTQ community in #India, here is a short thread on the people who sowed the seeds for this day… so we know who to thank #PublicHealthHistory #HIVMovement #Section377
2. In 2002, some 30-odd health workers from Naz Foundation were picked up by cops for counselling gay men. They were booked under #Section377 & obscenity laws. They remained in jail for over a month for basically telling gay men to use condoms! #HIVHistory #India
3. This was also the time of global panic about the HIV epidemic. #Cipla was yet to start rolling out low cost generic anti reterovirals.. so.. prevention was the only intervention. #Section377 #HIVHistory #India
