1/5 Sharjeel Imam has given an interview detailing his Islamist manifesto. Surprisingly, no storm has been kicked up over pronouncements that are so unapologetically anti-liberal, anti-secular, anti-democracy, anti-Constitution—in a word, anti-national.

2/5 He openly calls the Constitution fascist, labels secularism a trap, and denounces democracy as a contrivance to deny Muslims their political rights.

3/5 The piece is a litany of indictments against the liberal class. Imam rejects any difference between liberals and Hindutvadis. In his essentialist worldview, all Hindus are the same, unanimous in denying Muslims political power they claim as a divine right.

4/5 Inadvertently, Sharjeel has recognised something that liberals have been fighting shy of acknowledging: that Hindutva’s idea of India is anchored in the same “overarching nationalist framework”— that Muslims are Indians above all else.

5/5 For more, read this Opinion article by Ibn Khaldun Bharati, who looks at Islam from an Indian perspective:

Sharjeel Imam’s Islamist manifesto will be forgotten. The silence of liberals will not

#Blast on #Bengaluru footpath !

A transformer box on the footpath outside the Amazon office on Baglur Main Road exploded, injuring two persons walking on the pavement.

One fell and suffered severe burns to his hands; the other had minor injuries. Another girl student escaped unhurt.

(📹 was captured by Arun G, a parent on the way to drop his kids to school)

How are these transformers allowed on busy footpaths? What if child or a pregnant woman or person with disability was walking? Who is responsible?
