Kanpur, August 1: The Hindutva outfits furore over the kids on reciting of Kalma in a school in Indian state Utter Pardash.The practice of reciting the Gayatri Mantra, Gurubani which is part of Sikhism, and Islamic verse (Kalma), and other religious verses in the morning assembly has been going on for a decade now but suddenly it caught the eye and mind of Hindutva outfits and they created controversy over Kalma only in teh Florets School in Kanpur city of the state.
The Hindu outfits suddenly raised objections to the practice and alleged that students were allegedly made to recite the ‘Kalma.’
Some Hindu outfits and parents staged a demonstration against this practice of the school and lodged a complaint with the police which then intervened in the matter and asked the school to stop the practice, reports IANS.
The Principal of the school Sumit Makhija clarified that “There is surely no intention of promoting any one religion.”
“It has been a practice at this school for years. The school diary has verses of all major religions including Hindu, Sikhism, Christianity, Islam written in the diary. Reciting verses was started as a practice to give equal respect to all religions. Now all of a sudden, a group of Hindutva extremists and some parents have opposed it,” she told reporters .
School principal, however, said that after this controversy, the management has now decided to stick only to the Indian national anthem during the morning assembly and school authorities have said they will sort it out with the concerned parents. KMS-R
Modi is dividing Muslims, creating a new class of Muslim leadership in India
.New Delhi,August 1: The observers in India said that Narender Modi is creating a new class of Muslim leadership derecognizing the Muslims in India who come from the scientific tempered class and handing over the
community’s leadership to those who are ready to say ‘Yes Prime Minister.’
The India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval few days ago conducted an interfaith communal harmony meeting at the Constitution Club of India.
The conference was organized by the All India Sufi Sajjadanashin Council where forty-five religious leaders attended the meeting. They belonged to different religions and came from different parts of India.
The observers said that the interfaith meeting was a damage-control and firefighting exercise that was fallout from BJP’s office bearer Nupur Sharma’s intemperate remarks against the Prophet (SAW) of Islam.
The other conclusion drawn from the interfaith meeting is the BJP government does not recognize Muslim intelligentsia as the political leader fit to lead the community. So does the Muslim clergy that the BJP government is not fit to lead the community.
This is felt because the Modi government in its Muslim leadership outreach is giving prominence to the Muslims who are not at all at the forefront of the Muslim leadership.
So it is concluded that the Hindutva party BJP government with RSS is creating new Muslim leadership and its catchment area is those who are custodians of Muslim Sufi Saint’s Shrines or managing Muslim trusts or Muslim graveyards. These kinds of people are handpicked by the government and are recognized as the representatives of the Muslim community
The observers are of the view that National Security Advisor Ajit Doval conference meeting was an exercise to ban the Popular Front of India (PFI) , that has become activated after scores of anti – Muslim hate crimes are being reported in the India.
Surprisingly, the Advisor Ajit Doval led meeting gave a clean chit to the Hindutva radical and terror organizations, like Bajrang Dal, VHP,RSS, Ram Sena, and other such hate mongers who are equally engaged in anti-Muslim, anti-Monitory activities and against securlar and democratic principles.
The National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval was the government’s representative at the interfaith harmony meeting.
The key representative of the Muslim community Hazrath Syed Naseeruddin Chishty, the chairperson of the All India Sufi SajjadaNasheen Council said; “Need of hour to rein in and ban radical organizations. Be it any radical organization, they should be banned if there is evidence against them.” He clearly mentioned that ‘if the evidence is there against PFI, it should be banned.’ He did not utter a single word against any Hindutva and its outfit.
The meeting ended with a resolution being passed to ban organizations like PFI and any other such fronts (mostly Islamic) that are indulging in anti-national activities. The resolution states that action must be initiated against such outfits as per law of the land.

Being part of the democracy in the world, every citizen must be provided with equal opportunities to evolve themselves and attain their highest potential. Despite immense efforts and development, women in India continue to face discrimination in all possible manner.
Even after forty years since the Mandal Commission recommendations, there remains gross inequality among the opportunities provided for Other Backward Communities(OBC). The organization focuses on enabling educational upliftment, progress in socio-political conditions, entrepreneurial advancement, and equal space for the women of marginalized communities. The organization will make conscious efforts to develop a free and open space where anyone can raise their voice and question the injustice faced by them.
