@singhvivek141 You are changing the arguement. What happened in Nashik was criminal. There is no debate on that fact. The perpetrators have been arrested. Including the HR woman who was hiding in some corporator/MLA’s home. But this is not taught by Maulanas. In Mumbai where I live, infact it is the Maulanas who have steered poor Muslim youth away ( with some degree of success) from mindless bike stunts and drug abuse. Why blame the regulated system of Madrassas and government appointed Muezzins and Maulanas? What you (and many other suggest) is this: if any crime is committed by a Muslim, he must be a fundamentalist and the crime some sort of a jihad. I would be the last person to say that fundamentalism isn’t a problem in Indian Muslim society, but generalising it as a maulana/Madrassa problem is very lazy. And incorrect.

The word brinjal is used in only Indian English. Its called Eggplant or Aubergine elsewhere.

This IPL has become a bore SRH: Decent side, terrible fans like @Chaos and company. ICF will be unbearable. RCB: Decent fans @diga @coffee_rules@cowboysfan, but an unbearable side. Kohli and by extension @putrevus will be unbearable. RR: Team that should win and fandom on ICF is not totally retarded. Also @Gollum’s 5th team. GT: 1 fan = @zen. Generally likeable but if GT wins we will see 30 new short forms, adjectives, terms and nick names created by the sole fan of the saintly beastly respected reserved GT. Heart says RR Brain says GT will win.

Conversion under any kind of deceit or force is shameful. It is also unIslamic. It is null and void under Islamic cannon. There is a provision called ‘dawah’ whence from the word ‘Dawar’ comes. That is an *invite*. Also the syllabus of madrassas is regulated by the GoI and no where is conversion a topic. The topics are reading and exegesis (tarjuma) of the Holy Quran. Do you think a syllabus regulated by the GoI will have conversions as a part of the syllabus? There is nothing to indicate that this data was sent for conversion. Could result in another one of those pesky cold calls “ sir/madam do you want Club Mahindra membership” Also, a grown woman with a mind of her own is not going to convert coz some ‘Maulana’ said so.

paltan what is your wish list for next season. Imma start with those that need be dumped: SKY Ha Pa Malewar Shardul Boult Santner Dhir Minz

Low IQ is thinking that fans ‘calling out’ stuff will change the team. This is franchise cricket not a democratically elected team.

The vid in the tweet has the delivery person confessing to doxing the customer. What leads to the conclusion that it is only against Hindus and Hindu females at that? The delivery person should be charged under the relevant sections but why build some narrative around this?

Muslims in Gujarat speak Gujarati primarily. Even those in Mumbai from Gujarati households: Khojas, Bohris, Memons all speak their own languages. Gujarati or Kutchi. Hardly is Hindi spoken at home. The only Hindi/Urdu speaking Muslims who earlier spoke another language are Pashtuns who migrated in the early 1900s and their subsequent generations exclusively speak Urdu. Muslims in MH especially Konkan speak Marathi/Konkani primarily. Muslims in coastal Karnataka speak Konkani. Muslims in Blr, or at least the ones I’ve come across are Kannada speaking.

Madrassas do not teach delivery agents to dox contact details of their customers. Neither do maulanas teach this. Data theft is a serious issue. Can be used for something as benign as sending ads and intrusive marketing and for something as serious as crime. This is not necessarily a Muslim crime on non Muslims.

@randomGuy The 99.9% of Indians speak Hindi figure you keep throwing around is false. Maybe by knowing Hindi you mean knowing one word or one sentence. 99.9% of UP also won’t know Hindi. There will be tribal/forest dwellers who will have their own languages. Also what has religion to do with language? Being a Muslim doesn’t mean that the people necessarily speak Hindi

Would be Marathi, in Belgaum. Maybe @G_B_ or @Texan can speak more about the language of those parts. For long it was a disputed city with a Marathi speaking majority? Besides, you take languages to be very rigidly defined. Most people in most border areas would speak a hodge podge of both the languages. For eg The Dang district of Gujarat where they speak a mix of Gujju, Marathi and Hindi. Ditto border areas of Goa and Karnataka or Goa and Maharashtra. Languages are more of a spectrum.

This is not a good example. Those are nations were forged on the basis of language. A Portuguese would speak to a Russian in English, however. Not very different from a Bengali meeting a Tamil speaker. PS: Also the function of a language is far more than just hitting on girls in a mall.

You called at the wrong time. I was going to go shopping.

This season our star picks also had no special talents.

There is a GoM scheme called MHADA. The idea being to rehabilitate slum/chawl dwellers into affordable homes. They have a lottery system which is almost always rigged for the right amount of ₹. One of the reasons MHADA hasn’t worked is that a slum shanty doubles up as a place of work and has visibility because it’s on the ground floor. A slum dweller who runs a chai tapri and stays in it is not going to be happy if he is provided a better place on the 7th floor of a MHADA construction. Loss of livelihood. Or he would have to pay for his shop now. When people are a part of the unorganised economy, rehabilitation is really difficult.
