Mughals 'made' India
Before Mughals, there was no India. 'India' existed merely in mythology. What it was was a subcontinent of relentlessly warring disparate kingdoms.
It was Mughals who actually built the nation of India by unifying the various kingdoms under a singular rule+

If the ice cream seller were a Hindu, you would write:
"Beauty of Bharatiya tradition where every man treats a married woman as his bhabhi. Devar -Bhabhi bond is pure, platonic and holy."

It's sad that there are some people who think as you do - who equate employees asking for humane, mental health-friendly work conditions with 'owing a debt' to your employer.
Hyper-defend Musk all you want, but that's an unhealthy way to look at labor.

For any Sanghi,
Rishi Sunak becoming PM = tears of joy / Hindu pride
Sadiq Khan being re-elected mayor = "Muslims bad, beware!!"
In both cases, it's just liberal immigrants who have climbed the political ladder. They have both proved that they got where they got by earning
@Hardism
You have no moral high ground to demand anything of the sort.
Your society elects Hindutva terrorists like Sadhvi Pragya Thakur to the country's parliament.
The guy who literally presided over a genocide is your Prime Minister. But, you want Qatar to censor Naik. The hypocrisy.

That may be their pitch outside of Sweden. For Swedes, though, the ad pitch would probably need to be reversed:

Definitely give it a shot. It's one of the best written mystery shows to have come out in a while. Madhuri is sheer perfection in it. The other cast members are excellent, as well.

Companies by their very nature *exist* because they put profitability above pm everything else. But, if a company aligns their biz model & vision with worthy causes, that's a win-win. You call it PR or whatever but they're taking a stand unlike others & that's admirable, period.

Johann, as a non-German who lives in Berlin, may I ask you something? Have you noticed a change in the attitudes of the mainstream German society towards Palestine? And if so, how palpable a change is that?

IMHO it just comes down to doing more of what we've been doing so far but better and in a more organized / targeted manner. In no particular order:

Unfollowed. If you can't say something kind about a renowned Islamic scholar, maybe choose silence instead of toxic judgment and veiled comparisons to frigging Dajjal.
Nothing divides Muslims as much as these unnecessary character assassinations of scholars over the most

Have you any shame, Rajdeep?
She says 'Hijab is an integral part of my identity... It was very difficult for me to give it up. I DIDN'T WANT TO... It felt very unfair and unjust.'
And you're spinning that into 'she chose education over hijab'.
Do you call that 'journalism'?
@syedurahman
With all due respect to Maratha history, Sambhaji made ZERO contribution to Aurangabad. Literally zero.
Why should a city that he had nothing to do with be named after him? Is stealing the legacy of Muslim kings the new way of showing Maratha pride?
@ashoswai
They want to rename the city after a Hindu king who had absolutely NOTHING to do with the city.
Aurangabad was founded by a Muslim king, Malik Ambar and developed by Aurangzeb, whom it's named after.
They want to rename it to eliminate the city's Muslim identity & history.

Not really. He was pointing out the hard truth of making it as a star in the industry & how belonging to a powerful film family doesn't guarantee success.
It was actually a very intelligently phrased counter to the nepotism narrative.

The community's flaws cannot justify acting against the commands of Allah. Do you have any data to back up the claim that 'so many' Muslim women r leaving Deen? They're not.

In one interview, Bal Thackeray proudly called himself a Hindu militant and urged other Hindus to be militants, too. He defended the Hindutva terrorists who demolished the Babri Masjid. Many of those Hindutva terrorists were, in fact, from the Shiv Sena.

Those city councils only caved because of the strong lobbying by right-wing Hindus in the US.

Cannot agree more. If the INDIA alliance does win, this should be top of its list. 2004-2014 is when this should have happened. Someone with as tainted a past as Modi should never have been able to hold public office to begin with.

The 'If not Modi, then who' gang is a prime example of mass societal manipulation.
A few things to unpack there:
