#SupremeCourt @pbhushan1 @KapilSibal

Bhishan: How can a private conversation be made a subject of inquiry ? What is the crime in having a private conversation, even if it’s about the conduct of a SC judge ? Without even saying into me, the HC orders an inquiry ? How can that be done ?

#Thread on #HijabCase judgment of Karnataka HC. Relevant observations :
"The Holy Quran does not mandate wearing of #hijab or headgear for Muslim women. Whatever is stated in the above sūras, we say, is only directory , because of absence of prescription of penalty or penance.."

"...for not wearing #hijab, the linguistic structure of verses supports this view.

"This apparel at the most is a means to gain access to public places & not a religious end in itself. It was a measure of women enablement and not a figurative constraint" - Karnataka High Court

#Hijab at most a cultural practice.

"Regard being had to the kind of life conditions then obtaining in the region concerned, wearing hijab was recommended as a measure of social security for women & to facilitate their safe access to public domain"- Karnataka High Court

"At the most the practice of wearing this apparel may have something to do with culture but certainly not with religion" - Karnataka High Court in #HijabVerdict

"Thus, it can be reasonably assumed that the practice of wearing hijab had a thick nexus to the socio-cultural conditions then prevalent in the region. The veil was a safe means for the women to leave the confines of their homes" - Karnataka High Court in #HijabRow case

Female athletes are still subjected to the equivalent of a sex test, based on whether they appear feminine.

Dutee Chand in her successful appeal against the validity of the IAAF’s hyperandrogegism regulations, the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) originally began investigating her after complaints that she “ran like a

Chand was banned in 2014 after the @WorldAthletics decided that her androgen (testosterone) levels were above the 10 nmol/L permitted by the IAAF’s hyperandrogegism regulations, resulting in her missing the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Androgens, including testosterone, are naturally produced in significant – but varying – levels by both men and women.

Endocrine profiles in 693 elite athletes in the post-competition setting’, found that 16.5% of the ‘male’ athletes had low testosterone levels, and 13.7% of the ‘females’ had high testosterone levels, ‘with complete overlap between the

@sriram_ET Agree. One point on Bihar though- at least the APMC monopoly repeal had already happened in Bihar well before this law passed at the Union level. So it wouldn’t be an issue anyway. But I totally agree with the broader point- this is a protest concentrated only in one state.

A car with a 12 month waiting period in the 80s ruled the Indian roads for over 3 decades

A thread on Ambassador cars 🧵

1/

1956, UK - Morris Motors manufactured and sold 3 variants of Morris Oxford car

It sold the rights and tooling for these cars to Hindustan Motors, a subsidiary of CK Birla group to manufacture and sell these cars in India

2/

1956 - Morris Oxford Series 1 model was branded as Hindustan 10, Series 2 as Landmaster and Series 3 model as the Ambassador

3/

Out of the 3 cars, Ambassador was the best both in terms of looks, space and ruggedness required for Indian roads. It cost around 14000 Rs in 1958 when the production started

It was positioned as the family car given the kind of space available for bigger Indian families

4/

At that time, there were not many indian automobile brands. Standard 10 and Mahindra's Jeep were the only major car brands available.

The government controlled production and was encouraging domestic production. This helped all these 3 players

"Secualrism is a curse for India"

It's a tool to cover up Muslim Appeasement in India. In last centuries, we have seen that how invaders destroyed India, but in 1947, Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru opted for "Secualrism".

A Thread about the so called "Father of the Nation, India"

Gandhi in 1922: "Even if the Muslims want to kill us all we should face death bravely. If they established their rule after killing Hindus, we would be ushering in a new world by sacrificing our lives!"

Apostle of 'non-violence' rationalising violence by 'Samudaya Vishesh'!

GANDHI after Moplah massacre in 1922: "Hindus must develop courage and strength to die before accepting forced conversion. I was delighted to be told that there were Hindus who did prefer the Moplah hatchet to forced conversion!"
Jihadis: Convert or Die.
Gandhi: Just Die.

'Fight Nazism without arms. Invite Hitler to take over your island.
If he refuses to give a free passage out. Allow your man woman child to be slaughtered!'

- 'Coward' Gandhi's advice to Britons when Hitler was invading Britain.

After Noakhali genocide of 1000's of Hindus & forced conversions of men & rape of women in 1946. GANDHI's advice to women to survive rape & conversion to Islam: "DRINK POISON or commit suicide by other means to commit dishonour".
'FATHER WHO PRESCRIBED JAUHAR WITHOUT FIRE'

I truly believe next 25 years of India will be better than previous 75 put together.

Happy Independence Day
