all testify to a paradoxical situation in so-called Hindu 'majoritarian' India;
that grievances & existential threats that Hindus face can find no solution, either in our Courts, or from elected Governments.
The reason given is clear.."Observing that Article 25 and 26 of the Constitution embodies the principle of "religious tolerance" which is a characteristic of Indian civilization, the Karnataka High Court on Monday disposed of a public interest litigation."
In other words, the entire burden of religious tolerance falls upon the Hindus, in particular, and the Indic faiths in general.
The Abrahamaic faiths being fundamentally 'exclusive', may it is clear; loudly and daily, challenge by implication the faith & Gods of others, through
simple assertion that 'there is no God but Allah'
, for example.
In case there is any doubt as to which is the One True God, it helpfully clarifies that "Muhammad is the messenger of Allah".
It is true that this call or assertion or challenge has been 'normalized' over the last 1500 years.
It is amazing that the first challenge to the Adhan was, unbelievably, "noise pollution". Yes you heard that right!
In 1500 years, it appears scarcely a handful understood what was at stake or called it out. And Chandrashekar R. of Bengaluru, Karnataka stood up in Court to finally ask a simple question, on behalf of all Indic faiths.
Well,we now finally have an answer & a possible direction.
In July, the unemployment rate for youth aged between 16-24 was 19.9 per cent, according to China’s National Bureau of Statistics. It means that 1 in 5 youth between the age of 16-24 is unemployed."

“As of Aug 15, this high temperature event has lasted for 64 days, the longest duration since 1961 (more than 62 days in 2013); 1680 stations were covered above 35°C, and 1426 stations were covered above 37°C, both of which were the first in history,” reported State-owned CCTV.
"The heatwave has had an impact on the energy supply in some of China’s provincial cities, including Chengdu. Businesses and factories had to halt work because of power cuts in Chengdu as temperatures rose above 40°C."
The learnings are immense. Today, India is among just 5 or 6 countries which can build an Aircraft Carrier.
Built at a cost of Rs 20000 crores, it is 262 meters long, 62 meters wide and displaces 45000 tons.
* The technology for carrying, arming & recovering fighter aircraft.
What could have been built elsewhere in 10 years, took us 13 years. But we also shaved off 2 1/2 billion from the estimated 5 1/2 billion dollars it could have cost to build it elsewhere.
". “Last year, the Pakistani government was presented with this deal and refused to sign it, because fundamentally it will allow serious criminals to be deported to Pakistan without critical information sharing. This will present huge problems for Pakistan.”
"Mr Amjad cited the case of Sohail Ayaz, a convicted pedophile and child abuser who was deported to Pakistan from the UK.... In 2019, he was arrested for the rape and assault of upto 30 minors, despite being convicted of similar offences by a UK court in 2008."
"I make no apology for removing dangerous foreign criminals and immigration offenders who have no right to remain in the UK.
The British public have quite rightly had enough of people abusing our laws and gaming the system so we can’t remove them."
"Our new Borders Act will go further & help end the cycle of last-minute claims & appeals that can delay removals.
Pakistan nationals make up the 7th largest number of foreign criminals in prisons in England & Wales totalling..3% of the foreign national offender population"
"Questions have also arisen in (as)Inder Meghwal had been undergoing treatment for a middle ear infection for several years,which caused the formation of a painful abscess behind his eye, blockages in the brain & eventually triggered sepsis in the days leading up to his death."
Singh’s family denies the caste angle too, saying the principal “made a mistake by paying the Meghwals money for Inder’s treatment”.
Chail Singh’s father Ushk Singh, 70, said, “Usne paise dekar galti kar di (he made a mistake by giving them money).”
"The weapon system, officially known as the High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-Dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS), is a 60+ kW-class laser"
A continuous-wave HEL beam is a focused ray of optical radiation that delivers heat to a target’s surface and destroys it."
"The high-energy laser beams’ instantaneous time-of-flight prevents target from gaining first strike...since cost of engagement can be reduced to the expense of running the generator that supplies necessary current, HELs operate at a cost-per-shot basis that is almost zero."
