@dayakamPR Today in Pune

Remembering an ardent atheist and rationalist, #HamidDalwai on his death anniversary. He faced opposition from all quarters during his lifetime. Without any backing from political parties and organisations, Dalwai organised the first march of Muslim women in Mumbai demanding equal rights and scrapping of the talaq system. Despite considerable effort, he could get together a mere seven Muslim women to participate in the march organised on April 18, 1966, but it was a first step. Humble Tributes.

@vinod_bansal Allowed sirf dharm vishesh ko hai saal ke 365 din!

कितनी ही बार उच्च न्यायालयों और माननीय सर्वोच्च न्यायालय ने कहां के सड़क पर नमाज नहीं चलेगी। अब एक बार फिर इलाहाबाद हाईकोर्ट की प्रयागराज पीठ ने कहा है की सड़कों पर नमाज या सार्वजनिक भूमि पर नमाज का किसी को कोई अधिकार नहीं है। निर्णय का सर्वत्र स्वागत होना चाहिए किंतु जिहादियों को तो बस... शक्ति प्रदर्शन करना है, काफिरों को डराना है और; मां भारती की पुण्य धरा को कब्जाना है..!!

That photo of the mother clinging to her kid as they both die is heart smashing. India will never run out of people so I guess its okay for us to die casually .. and copiously

And they say money doesn't buy you happiness

He was a blot on Indian Journalism. He was morally corrupt of the highest order. He did everything to divide society, so his family could live a luxurious life. Rohit Sardana is a case study to remember what one should not do to be human. Nobody remembers him. Every boot lickers of power vanishes from memory. He was dalal and darbari of the highest order.
