#TeestaSolution
"Experts say there are things India can do to ease the situation, short of a treaty.

make more water available for use in both West Bengal and Bangladesh. The two countries could also work to enhance groundwater availability, and rationalise agricultural water demand."
"Ever since she took office, Hasina has extinguished jihadist threats, provided unprecedented counter-terrorism cooperation and crushed anti-India insurgencies. The prime minister’s failure to do a deal on the Teesta, though, hurts Bangladesh farmers, and is weakening her hold."
"Evidence that Hasina is being forced to make concessions to India’s enemies isn’t hard to come by. Islamists supported by the ruling party are waging a tenacious culture war—mobilising against women wearing western clothes to campus, and purported blasphemers"

#ATrueMuslimReformist
People glibly talk about men who are ahead of their times. But Hamid Dalwai was truly such a one. A fearless Muslim reformist who unfortunately died at the early age of 44. daijiworld.com/news/newsDispl…
Hamid Dalwai's name is unknown to most Hindus and most Muslims MAY NOT WANT to remember him.

"Born on September 29, 1932, in Mirjoli village of Ratnagiri district in Konkan, Maharashtra, he is most famous for the March that he organised without any political
backing for the rights of Muslim women, in 1966 on April 18 against the triple talaq, (oral pronunciation of divorce in Muslim Personal Laws banned in most Muslim majority countries except India till a recent Supreme Court ruling)."

thebetterindia.com/296550/linkedi…
"her grandfather, who belonged to a lower-caste family in Maharashtra, had to fight for his right to study throughout his childhood."

Juhi’s grandfather made a deal with his parents that he would work on the farm from 3 am so he could make it to school for the second half of the
morning. Unfortunately, even after walking for nearly 1.5 hours every day, without even a good pair of shoes to wear, the young boy was not allowed to sit inside the classroom."

Despite all the bullying from his upper caste peers, discrimination from his upper caste teachers,

#BJPOnTheBackfoot
"The BJP was not prepared for the setback in Bihar, a crucial state where the Nitish Kumar-led JD(U) switched sides and joined hands with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)."

indianexpress.com/article/politi…
"This sudden rhetoric and diatribe against AAP leaders can have only two reasons – you decide to make it stronger and more relevant to cut down the other opponent (in this case, the Congress in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat) or you are desperate,”
"With Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal, Nitish Kumar in Bihar, K Chandrasekhar Rao and MK Stalin in the south, and Arvind Kejriwal in the north, the BJP has formidable competition from different regions."
