Kerala’s Grand Mufti Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliyar said women should remain confined to their homes and that bringing women into the public sphere would lead to “great destruction.”

He defended purdah and compared women to a necklace, saying that “if the necklace has to retain its beauty, it has to be kept safely inside a box.”

Can someone tell me if this is misogyny & patriarchy or it doesn't apply here?

TVK MLA Madhar Badurudeen (Mustafa) criticizes portrayal of Muslims in "Amaran"

TVK MLA Mustafa mocked the "Amaran" movie as a story "to show Muslims in bad light"

For context, Amaran is a 2024 biographical film on Major Mukund Varadarajan, a courageous Indian Army officer who sacrificed his life while leading a counter-terrorism mission, eliminating top terrorist leaders to protect Jammu and Kashmir.

The film accurately shows three top Pakistani terrorists: Altaf Baba (a commander of Jaish-e-Mohammed), Asif Wani, and Abdul Haq.

These individuals were shown by their real religious identity and actions were depicted strictly as matters of historical and biographical record, rather than anything about people of a religion

Why are they like this?

What is the palestine flag doing in Milad-un-nabi celebration.

Also,

Why are our subcontinent musclemans inventing new forms of worship when it is clearly forbidden to deviate from quranic practices.

If they can invent new festivals, why don't they invent equal rights for their women?

Onashamsakal ഓണാശംസകൾ | Vamana Jayanti | The Day of Surrender of ego before Lord Vishnu 🙏

Onam falls in the Shravana (ஆவணி/ചിങ്ങം/Aavani/Chingam) month, under the Shravana (തിരുവോണം/திருவோணம்/Thiruvonam) Nakshatram (Star).

It is the day Maha Vishnu took the form of Vamana and hence celebrated as Vamana Jayanti.

This is a day celebrated as a victory over ego, when Mahabali, the king of the region that is present-day Kerala, born as an Asura king (grandson of Prahlad, who was a great devotee of Vishnu, unlike his father Hiranyakashipu), after growing pride in his kingdom, power & possessions and becoming very heavy-headed, was humbled by Lord Vishnu

After he surrendered his ego, he was allowed to return and visit his people once every year around which Onam is celebrated.

Good to see people, irrespective of religion, coming together and celebrating the victory over ego, as Lord Vishnu humbled Mahabal's pride and arrogance.

It’s always nice to see that they are being drawn back toward their old roots. 🔱

Translation

"We sing our own song here." (our truncated version only)

---

Sonia Gandhi angrily signals to stop playing our National Song \"Vande Mataram\"!

Kharge is seen asking Rahul to stop it immediately. A worker is called.

She got very angry when she realized the full version of the song (beyond 2 paragraphs) is played... So, she couldn't stand still. Sonia looks visibly angry.

SC stays order of Madras HC on govt jobs to relatives of Karur stampede victims

The Supreme Court on Friday stayed an order of the Madras High Court which quashed Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay's order providing government jobs to relatives of people who died in a stampede at Karur last year.

A bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and K Vinod Chandran issued notice to the Tamil Nadu chief secretary and others.

"Who are you to question the policy of the government? Suppose the sole member died in the tragedy, shouldn't the government give some employment to son or daughter? the bench told the PIL petitioner who had challenged state government order."

In a setback to the TVK government, the Madras High Court on July 27 had quashed Vijay's order providing government jobs to relatives of people who died in a stampede at Karur last year, observing that it will open floodgates of similar demands.

Why is FCRA amendment bill opposed?

I have tried to compare the provisions of the act vs the amendment bill

Section 15 has been omitted and Section 16 has been inserted to help centralized asset takeover mechanism.

Key Structural Shift: Section 15 vs. Section 16

Feature Original Section 15 (FCRA Act) Proposed Section 16 Framework (2026 Bill)
Operational Status Omitted entirely by the 2026 Bill. Newly Inserted to replace Section 15.
Trigger Events Applied only if registration was cancelled or voluntarily surrendered. Expands to include expired, non-renewed, and lapsed registrations.
Governing Authority Vested assets vaguely in a "prescribed State Government authority". Vests assets in a central "Designated Authority".
Asset Management No detailed procedural framework for custody or management. Explicit rules for provisional vesting, management, or total disposal.

Current FCRA Act: Section 15 (Management of Foreign Contribution)

  • Limited Scope: The government could only take control of assets if an NGO’s registration was explicitly cancelled by the state or voluntarily surrendered. It did not cover instances where an NGO simply failed to renew its license in time.
  • The Enforcement Gap: While the law stated assets would vest in a prescribed authority, it lacked an operational roadmap. State governments frequently reported they had no mechanisms to actually seize, manage, or maintain thousands of crores in NGO assets, leaving them in limbo.

FCRA Amendment Bill 2026: Section 16 Framework

The 2026 Amendment Bill deletes Section 15 to resolve this legal gap, introducing an aggressive, centralized enforcement system through Section 16:

  • Section 16A (The Designated Authority): This introduces a centrally appointed "Designated Authority". This authority is granted absolute power to take custody of, supervise, manage, and completely dispose of assets built using foreign funds.
  • Section 16B (Provisional & Retrospective Vesting): This clause has a retrospective effect. Any NGO asset previously stuck in limbo under the old Section 15 immediately and provisionally vests with the new Central Designated Authority the day the bill becomes law.
  • Section 16C (Permanent Seizure): If an NGO or association "ceases to exist, or is rendered inoperative or defunct," all its foreign contributions and corresponding assets permanently vest with the Central Government's Designated Authority.

Why This Is Controversial

The shift from Section 15 to Section 16 grants the Central Government direct control over institutions (like hospitals, schools, and community centers) built even partially with foreign funds. Critics and minority groups argue that if an NGO’s renewal is rejected or delayed, the government can immediately seize their physical infrastructure before any court order is issued.

Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Marie Wilson's act of making the sign of the cross and carrying a rosary while presenting the TVK government's first Budget has raised questions about whether the principle of separating religion and politics applies only to few!
