INDIA'S EARLIEST MOSQUE.
Tucked away in the small town of Methala, Kodungallur in Trissur district is a two-storied mosque with tiled sloping roofs, typical of the local architecture here. It isn't opulent but does not look very old with a fresh coat Image
of paint it sports and as the mosque has been renovated several times over the centuries. What makes this quaint little mosque so unique, is that this is the oldest mosque in India. Dating back to around 629 CE, this mosque could well have been built in the lifetime of Prophet
Mohammad himself !

Malik-Ibn-Dinar, an Arab trader who frequently visited the Kerala coast for trade, is said to have built this mosque as well as eight others on the coast. He was granted land by a local king, Cheraman Perumal after whom the mosque is today named, who .
converted to Islam and traveled to Medina . He died on the way back and was buried in Salalah, Oman where a dargah is dedicated for him even today.

Khusbu Sundar has gone from Congress to BJP.

Till the other day, she was deriding the same BJP as Congress Spokesperson. ImageImage
There is something seriously wrong with Congress leadership or the selection process of people who are the public face of Congress.

How can a national spokesperson switch to a party whose ideology is so fiercely contested by its apex leadership?
What is the qualification for appointing a national spokesperson? A good looking person with command over a language? A good lineage?

What about ideology?

And the shameless career oriented politicians don't even think twice before changing their colors.

A money trail could establish whether Republic paid 5,00,000 to a neighbor of Rhea Chakraborty to give a statement linking Rhea and Sushant to a day prior to his suicide.
One lady had said that she saw the two together one day before Sushant committed suicide. This was run exclusively by Republic as clinching proof.
Now if Republic actually paid this lady, she must have deposited the money in her bank account or somewhere. And she would be easy target for Mumbai police to crack. Obviously neither the channel nor the witness would have thought that the investigation will take

Trump’s Swamp: Taxes Trace Payments to Properties by Those Who Got Ahead nyti.ms/3nC8P3e
A FULL EXPOSE OF THE TRUMP WEB OF DECEIT AND CORRUPTION.

In 2013 we know of a hitherto provincial politician come to Delhi on the wings of a promise to clean up the web of politics and business woven with corruption and money. We know what happened.
It was not just business as usual but more of big business as always. Why should Trump be any different. The biggest failure of democracy is that the machine needs money to keep the wheels moving.

REMEMBERING PERIYAR* AS A ANOTHER DUSSEHRA APPROACHES..
He ordained that Dussehra must be observed as a day of mourning and as a day when a great Dravidian king lost a great battle to the Aryans led by a Prince of Ayodhya.
He once celebrated Dussehra by taking out a procession of a statue of Rama with a garland of old shoes.

He abhorred the caste system as a Brahminical and hence an Aryan imposition. And from this came the self-respect movement.

Private Sector is better.

7 out of the 10 telecom companies have shut business and gone home leading to job losses.
All airline companies are in distress. Jet Airways shut down with 18,000 jobs as direct loss and ten times more as indirect loss. The banks too took a hit, same with King Fisher. Every other airline is struggling. Some have been declared by their auditors as no longer a
going concern, that means capital is completely eroded.

In UK, railways privatized over 30 years ago are in a mess. The government is now planning to take over and reverse the decision.

Subhash Chandra is out of Zee Television due to his massive debt.
