This is Dzukou Valley Snowfall on the border between NAGALAND and MANIPUR, which receives ample snow, good enough for snow trekking.
Snowfall at Shirui village in Ukhrul district of MANIPUR (Hills surrounding Imphal Valley)

A beautiful snow covered (Protestant) Christian Church on top of a hill in Shirui village (Manipur). Unlike plains of Imphal Valley, where majority of Meitei community lives, hills of Manipur are mostly inhabited by Naga & Kuki tribes.

UPPER CASTE Hindu & Muslim sponsored RIOTS IN AMRAVATI, Maharashtra
A collaborative destructive efforts of Upper Caste Hindutva forces & Ashraf Syeddist Muslim founded Raza Academy results in mass scale loot and arson of Hindu & Muslim shops in AMRAVATI, Maharashtra.
At the center of the whole unnecessary mess is an Upper SYED Caste Ashraf Muslim, Muhammad SAEED Noori from UP, who founded RAZA ACADEMY in Maharashtra in 1980s supposedly for publication of religious literature of Ahmad Raza Khan of Barelvi Sufi order.
Barelvi sect (an Indian Sufi order) unlike more puritan Deoband sect is the largest Sunni sect of both India & Pakistan. Veneration of Sufi saints is at the core of religious practices of Barelvi sect, for which Deobandis & other puritan Sunni sects like Wahabis abhor them.
Selvi from Tamil Arunthathiyar SC community married to Tamil Adivasi ST (Iruvalar) man & widowed at age of 21 years.Unlettered herself, she made sure, all her kids and grand kids are educated.She has been appointed as head of the management committee of a local government school.
Her struggle to obtain ST certificate for her children and grand children is the story of many DNT Adivasi communities of Tamil Nadu, who have to undergo harassment (including sexual), abuse and humiliation at hands of local babus to prove that they are in "reality" STs.
Since most Irulas traditionally lived on Nilgiri hills but have now moved to plains of Tamil Nadu, the Irulas living in plains have to prove to "Anthropology Officer" that they are "real" Irulas from hills. How do "Anthropology officers" check if these Irulas are "real" Irulas ?
Why is Congress party's UP Muslim leadership in clutches of Elite, English speaking, fair skin and fossilized Muslim Pathans is beyond my understanding.
It is pathetic to see " crisply suited" Salman sitting uncomfortably besides poor, darker skin, pasmanda caste family of Altaf
I, for one believe that resurrection of "Hinduism vs Hindutva"debate through Salman Khurshid's so called "book" is all orchestrated by BJP. Congress, at least in UP is acting as "B Team" of BJP to weaken Samajwadi Party by denting or at least neutralizing SP's sold Muslim support
BJP's so called "Brahminical Chanakya" policies is actually easy to decipher as they always successfully recycle, "beaten to death" Hindu - Muslim polarizing issues to their electoral advantage. I am surprised that even most wisest of intelligensia has fallen in trap.
Bhim Army & ASP must de-seggregate Pasmanda Caste Muslims (3.5 crore) from 0.5 crore Ashraf caste Muslims of UP and bring Pasmanda Caste Muslims under electoral umbrella of Dalit - Pasmanda political alliance.
The flawed monolithic "Muslim" identity of UP's sub regionally distinctive Muslim sub identites will be of NO USE to Bhim Army/ASP.
There are already parties like SP, Congress and RLD, which are looking at UP Muslim electorate through monolithic "Muslim" prism.
