So PFI has been banned. People are rejoicing, but I'll say 'it doesn't make any difference'.
Because a much weaker version of PFI has been banned before, and it did not make any difference.
SIMI, Students' Islamic Movement of India was another version of PFI, founded in 1977
by Mohammad Ahmadullah Siddiqi, who now serves as a Professor of English & Journalism at Western Illinois University.
In the shadow of 9-11, the Vajpayee government, which did not have the guts to do so before, banned SIMI.
SIMI's mission was the ‘liberation of India’ by
converting it to an Islamic land or to establish Dar-ul-Islam (land of Islam) by either forcefully converting everyone to Islam or by violence. It was active among muslim student fraternity across India, recruiting members from madrasas, colleges and even public schools! Unlike

Today is Chaturti of Sharad Navratri. #MaaKushmanda is the fourth form of the Mother Durga and is worshipped on the fourth day of Navaratri.
The meaning of the name ‘Ku-shm-anda’ is as follows: ‘Ku’ = a little; ‘ushma’ = ‘warmth’; ‘anda’ = ‘the cosmic egg’.So
she is considered the creator of the universe.
The universe is no more than a void full of darkness,until her light spreads in all directions like rays from the sun.
Often she is depicted as having 8 hands.She holds several weapons,a lotus bud & Rudraksha mala,etc in her hands,&
rides a lion

After Ancient period, India is pointed out as the world's most invaded country. Foreigners have invaded the country over 200 times. There were 2 major foreign invasions of Indian Sub-continent which happened in the form of Iranian invasion in 518 BC & Macedonian invasion in
326 BC (B-Before, C-Christ). Then Arab, Mahmud, Muhammad Ghur, Turks, Timur, Mongol, Dutch, Portuguese and British etc. these invasion happened in the period of Medieval India.
In India, almost 250 battles fought from Ancient India to Modern India (C. 14th century BCE - 1999).
But I think that, more battles may have been fought than this. Battle of Mahabharata is known as the biggest battle in Ancient India. After that Battle of the Hydaspes (May of 326 BC), Battle of Kalinga (261 BC), first Battle of Panipat (21 April 1526), Battle of Talikota
One Bible 1 Jesus then Y ???? Orthodox & Jacobite the Two Factions Of Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church clash over their right to worship at a disputed church in Kerala's Ernakulam district. Conversion to Christian!ty has not redeemed 19 million Dalit Chr!stians from social
discrimination and untouchability. It has only added to their misery. Conversion disqualifies a dalit Christ!an a whole lot of constitutionally guaranteed protection and privileges. The dalits accepted the new faith in Jesus Christ with some hope that they would regain their
lost humanity and they would be considered as God’s children. But in reality,it is only a dream. As Christ!ans,we continue to suffer and live all human misery both in the society and in the Church.The Dalit Christ!ans suffer the same socio educational and economic disabilities
