“Time has come to say 'Jai Maharashtra' (good bye) if the party, which one worked for and considered as everything, takes a hateful stand against the community one comes from,” MNS secretary Irfan Shaikh said as he resigned from the party.
The problem with the Adhan is not the decibel level.
5 times a day for 1400 years, the Adhan is a challenge to every non-Muslim, not just the majority Hindu population.
It gets away with it, as it's in Arabic & because of Hindu confusion,about Adhan just being praise of Allah
The Adhan, multiple times axday, from the minarets of 300000 mosques in India openly denies the Gods of others.
What does it say...
Ash-hadu an' la ilaha ill Allah,
(I bear witness that there is no God but Allah)
Ash-hadu ana Muhammadan Rasoolallah,
(I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah)
There goes the Gods of the Christians,Jews, Hindus & every other religion...
This denial of the Gods of others has been so normalized, Hindus actually quibble about the decibel level

We are so accustomed to self-flagellation in the last many centuries, that it is difficult for most people to concede that the only continuing ancient civilisation in the world is on a voyage of self-examination and re-discovery of what it was once.
Revolutions & Renaissance are not always pretty processes.With liberty, equality & Fraternity, the tumbrils rolled & guillotines sliced necks.
So you find people who believe in an Akhand Bharat, which most of us feel is not only impractical but undesirable..even frightening.
More so, if this vision is shared by our current rulers.
But what all of us must recognise and concede is that a relatively very peaceful revolution/renaissance is under way.
b) Food spills, bottles, slippery,broken tiles(waiting for some morning walker to trip & break her/his neck)
c) It's becoming a den for anti-social elements.
The same TMC is:
a) maintaining some of the gardens in good condition.
b) Provided public gymnasium facilities which are appreciated and being used by Thaneites.
Impossible to quantify the positive physical & mental
benefits to citizens, particularly senior citizens.
The Upvan Lake Area is a beautiful jewel in Thane's crown.
Request @TMCaTweetAway
to please spruce up and maintain the entire Upvan periphery and re-lay with non-slip tiles before the monsoon.
The singular reason for Ashraf dominance is not caste but race. The Ashraf are deemed 'superior' claiming descent from Arab, Iranian or Turkic ancestors.
They've virtually blanked out 85% Muslims called Pasmanda(those left behind) who are of native Indian origin.
The Pasmanda are oppressed and openly discriminated against by the Ashraf, who deny them any representation in All India Muslim Personal Law Board @AIMPLB_Official and in the Governing Boards of Muslim educational and other institutions.
@SalmanNizami_
In my opinion, the Hindutva unmasking itself on the street is a mirror image of an exclusive, expansionist & aggressive Islam.
How you hide these things from yourself is beyond understanding.
You not only successfully delude yourself, but even after 16 centuries, Hindus are still unable to internalize the understanding, that the followers of another religion can hate her/him for being a Disbeliever.
However ignorant or stupid, almost every Hindu imbibes this understanding with her/his mother's milk"Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti", an Upanishadic statement, meaning the Truth is One, the Wise call it by different names".
So much this @zainabsikander brazenly writes to camouflage very simple facts:
* Lakhs of Kashmiri Hindus were driven out with rapes, murders & vicious threats from the only Muslim majority State in India. (1) theprint.in/opinion/kejriw…
* In more than 30 years, not one Kashmiri Hindu picked up a gun or even threw a single stone.
* More astonishing, neither did a single Hindu from the rest of India.
* 30+ years later the same communal mindset and violence prevents the return of the Kashmiri Hindus to the Valley
So while @zainabsikander may sneer at the ridiculousness of 'majority' insecurity, this is exactly what is shown in Kashmir Files, which disturbs people like her.
She hides behind the political the dog-fights between venal,unprincipled politicians as if that
