    Very correct. As a society, we are not yet ready to accept lesbian or gay couples.
    As for beauty products, recently I was watching a talk on this subject on NDTV sponsored by Dove soap. If we see their ads, they are not doing what they preach.
    There is a bias for fair color and we all know it. In fact, we promote it. Our movies in any language promote it. Our families in any social gathering promote it.

    It is a stigma in our society. So many illegal things happen in our society. You might have heard about Arab Sheikhs marrying Muslim girls from Hyderabad, Mumbai, and other places. The parents of these girls do it for money.
    The only thing that will solve this problem is girls education and making them self-sufficient. Much of the responsibilities on parents. Talking of parents, just think about families living on the streets, railway lines.
    It is not Hindu- Muslim issue, it is a social issue.

    The question now is why it is not being pursued now?

    No. In Islamic countries, it is a religion thing. These girls are abducted from their homes. Parents don't send the girls outside or to schools because they are scared of abduction. No money comes into play here.

    You are talking about 2 different things .

    Because it was delayed by protests.
    It can be pursued now. Are there any more hindus in Islamic countries alive now to migrate to india?

    CAA is not being pursued because of protests and if that is so, either the protestors are on the right side, or, the Government is on the wrong side. Fact is, NRC was to follow after CAA and that would have moved lakhs of HIndus in the concentration camps. Some 30 lakhs Hindus in Assam could not produce any valid document.
    Yes, millions of Hindus live in Islamic countries- Kuwait, Iraq, Pakistan, Bangladesh, UAE.

    Aryan Khan Drugs Case
    Rahul Mahajan, son of the last big leader late Pramod Mahajan ji, was also arrested under the same sections in which Aryan Khan was arrested by NCB.
    That is, under 25 26 and 27 of the NDPS Act, Rahul Mahajan also went to jail for 06 months.
    But then you would not even know which officer had arrested him. What was the religion of that officer's father? What was the religion of that officer's wife, or where was that officer's sister roaming around? At that time no leader put any allegation or pressure on the NCB officer.
    Sanjay Dutt was also in jail for 7 months in the drugs case. No journalist in India would know which officer had arrested Sanjay Dutt and what was the religion of his father and what was the birth certificate of that officer.
    Armaan Kohli is in jail in NCB custody for the last 08 months, but no noise, no allegations, no threat to kill any NCB officer. Neither the family of any NCB officer was tortured.
    But when Aryan Khan is arrested, then the entire Maharashtra government and especially Nawab Malik has come to the real character of his religion, that is, directly attacking the women of Sameer Wankhede's family. The family members of patriotic officer Sameer Wankhede are getting death threats.
    Aryan Khan was implicated by NCB because of his religion, Nawab Malik is alleging this. When NCB arrested Sanjay Dutt, Rahul Mahajan, Armaan Kohli, and many others in the drug case, no one alleged that NCB caught them because of their religion.
    Since ancient times, these jihadi-minded people, assault and rape on women have been their biggest weapon from the beginning. This is the reason that when India was attacked by the cruel Mughals of foreign invaders, then lakhs of Indian women used to commit Jauhar. She did not die by hanging so that foreign Mughals could not rape her dead body.
    When they become weak, then these patriots attack the women of the officers' house.
    Long live Mother India

    Thyagarajan Sir, I looked up this passage online. The facts in this 'news story' have been distorted to present a one sided narrative.

    Rahul Mahajan went to jail for exactly 9 days after which he was granted bail on his first petition, unlike Aryan Khan whose bail was denied. Mahajan's coaccused died of a drug overdose and Mahajan himself had been inebriated when they were arrested. Aryan Khan neither possessed any drugs nor had he consumed any. As far as I know Mahajan did not spend 6 months in jail. In fact he faced zero consequences. His case fizzled out in the Indian justice system and he was last seen living it up as a D-grade reality TV star.

    Sanjay Dutt should be spending his life in prison for storing assault weapons and associating with terrorists responsible for the Mumbai blasts. Instead they made a biopic about him, which was essentially a hagiography that put a sympathetic spin on his sins. He was a rich kid who became addicted to drugs, squandered every advantage his wonderful parents gave him, got embroiled with the Mumbai drug mafia, and ended up having to do their dirty work. He got off way easier than he should have.

    Armaan Kohli is in prision because unlike Mahajan and Aryan Khan, he has been charged with possession of a commercial quantity of narcotics and accused of illicit drug trafficking which carries much more serious charges. His coaccused are known drug peddlers. His case does not merit automatic bail.

    This is rank propaganda.

    Whatever Aryan did or didn't do is for the courts to decide. But until he is convicted he is owed the same treatment under the law as any Indian citizen. Accused in cases of possession of drugs for personal use are routinely granted bail. There was no reason he should have been kept in prison beyond his first hearing.

    There may be any number of reasons why Nawab Malik is after Sameer Wankhede but to my assessment, he is sort of taking revenge for what Wankhede did to his brother or brother in law who was attested and sent to jail, and later on, it was found that he was carrying tobacco and not marijuana.
    Having said that, there are other inconsistencies.

    I was away for few months from IL and today this post made me a little emotional .How i wished someone to say this!!! Thank you so much.

    "On Being a Muslim" ...I am a Muslim who initially faced a lot here in IL itself though those who were welcoming and supportive including induslady herself and many others than those few who tried to instigate hatred. In fact, IL had to ban a few of them those days.

    Thank you once again.
