Talks between Dalits, who threaten
to embrace Islam, and upper caste Hindus over temple ritual fail; Collector ban
temple festival
Nagapattinam:A 5-day annual
festival of Badrakaliyamman temple near Nagapattinam has been suspended by the
district administration, after talks to resolve a dispute between Dalits and
upper caste Hindus over the conduct of temple rituals, failed. “District administration
attempted to arrive at an amicable solution to the issue. But, since talks held
yesterday remained inconclusive, we have no other option but to suspend the
festival this year,” District Collector Pazhaniswamy said on Sunday.“A case in
this regard is already pending in the Madras High Court. Until the court
pronounces the verdict, the festival will remain suspended,” he said. The
district officials initiated talks between the two groups following reports
that the Dalits in Kallimedu village had threatened to embrace Islam if they
were not given the right to conduct the rituals for a full day.During the
meeting, the administration came up with 3 suggestions, including increasing
the number of days of the festival to 6, instead of the usual five, to allow
the community to conduct the festival for a complete day. However, the upper
caste Hindus declined the suggestions citing various reasons. But, they said
they had no objections to Dalits conducting the rituals on any day other than
the annual festival days, the Collector said. PTI
Should not embrace Islam
just because of discriminated in Hinduism:TN Thowheed Jamat tells Dalits
Chennai: Even as 250 Dalit
families in Nagapattinam district are threatening to convert to Islam after
they were denied their right to perform mandagapadi, a ritual performed on day
one of the 7-day festival conducted in the first week of Aadi, Viduthalai
Chiruthaigal Katchi general secretary Ravi Kumar said the onus was on the govt to ensure that the rights of the Dalits to
partake in temple festival were protected.Speaking about Dalits threatening to
convert to Islam, he toed the line earlier taken by the party chief Thol.
Thirumvalavan that conversion to another religion merely creates ‘minorities
within a minority’ and reduces the collective bargaining power of the Dalits in
their fight against caste discrimination.2 organisations – Hindu Makkal Katchi
and Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamat – are now involved in various capacities. While
the TNTJ president Pakkir Mohammed Althafi and others met the Dalits on
Wednesday, Hindu Makkal Katchi is trying to resolve the issue without any need
for Dalits to convert. Spokesperson of Jamat claims that it was the Dalits of
Pazhag Kallimedu village, who had informed them that they are planning to
convert to Islam. “Some of TNTJ members, including its president Pakkir Mohammed
Althafi, met and explained to a group of around 50 people that they should not
embrace Islam just because they are being discriminated in Hinduism. We
encouraged them to fully understand the concepts and fundamentals of Islam. We
gave them the Koran and urged them to read it. 6 persons reportedly embraced
Islam on the spot,” said Abdur Rahman, spokesperson, TNTJ. Claiming that they
were against forcing anyone to embrace Islam, he said that they would not turn
away those willing to do so. In contrast, Rama Ravikumar leader Hindu Makkal
Katchi, said members of Dalit community had assured them that they would not
convert. The hindu

Una backlash: Muslims join
Dalits in fight against ‘injustice’
Ahmedabad: Muslims joined
thousands of Dalits in protesting against the Una incident at a mega-convention
in Ahmedabad on Sunday, even as a person who consumed poison during a July 19
rally succumbed at a city hospital.Around 5,000 Dalits from places across the
state gathered at Acher Depo ground in Sabarmati area, and appealed for unity
in the fight against injustice and atrocities. They also pledged to stop
skinning cattle carcasses and cleaning manholes as a mark of protest against
the flogging incident.Dalits in some parts of Gujarat – including Surendranagar
and Mehsana districts – have already stopped skinning cattle for two weeks now,
forcing local administration officials to do the work.Targeting the Anandiben
Patel govt, they demanded land and provision of sixth pay commission benefits
to Dalit sanitation workers. The protesters also sought the invocation of the
Prevention of Anti-Social Activities Act against the accused in the Una case,
and a ban on their entry into four Dalit-dominated districts of the state. Members
of the Una Ladat Samiti (ULS) –umbrella organisation of 20 Dalit outfits – were
joined by activists of the Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Hind Gujarat (JeU), which
maintained that upper caste communities in the state were discriminating
against Muslims too. “Hindu-Muslim Ekta Zindabad… Comwad Murdabad!” shouted ULS
convenor Jignesh Mevani, as members of the JeU stood by his side.The protest
overflowed into the main road because the allotted space was waterlogged due to
heavy rains the previous night. The agitators shouted ‘Jai Bhim’ slogans, and
waved flags and banners. Una victims’ kin were joined by relatives of the
Dalits killed in the Thangadh police firing incident on the main stage. “While
the Una incident was shocking, I am glad that it has united the community,”
said Jatin Savriya, a relative of one of Una victims. Hindustantimes

Under attack from all
quarters, Naseemuddin Siddiqui slogs on to create Dalit-Muslim combine for BSP
return
Lucknow: When BSP chief
Mayawati linked BJP’s demand for Naseemuddin Siddiqui’s arrest over “obscene”
slogans at her party’s protest with “an attempt to communalise the elections”,
she was also trying to use the controversy for her party’s benefit. Rebuffing
all demands of action against Siddiqui, who was leading the protest on July 21
when “obscene” slogans targeting the daughter, sister and wife of former BJP
leader Dayashankar Singh were raised, Mayawati not only defended him but also
gave him more responsibilities in the party.At a press conference held last
week in Lucknow, she chose to repeat what Siddiqui had said two days ago
instead of coming up with her own remarks on the controversy. Siddiqui, 56, who
is the BSP’s longest-serving national general secretary and a trusted
lieutenant of Mayawati for over 2 decades, is currently the Leader of
Opposition in the Legislative Council – a post with the rank of a Cabinet
minister – and is regarded as his party’s Muslim face. Indianexpress

Killing of Burhan Wani was
an accident: J&K Deputy CM Nirmal
Singh
Jammu: Weeks after the
killing of Hizbul commander Burhan Wani, Deputy CM Nirmal Singh Saturday said the incident was an
accident. Singh went on to say that the troops were unaware of the presence of
Wani at the encounter site. "It was an accident as they did not know about
his presence. The troops accidentally killed Wani. Had they been aware of his
presence, they would have taken precautions," said Singh. Speculations
were rife after Singh's revelation. BJP, which earlier had contrasting view,
seemed to be toeing the PDP line with the statement. BJP leader and Deputy CM also claimed operations would continue against
the militants. "If militants would not surrender they will meet the same
fate. There is no other way to deal with them but to neutralise them". He
said the security forces involved in the operation had informed them about the
operation saying that there were three militants. But they were not aware about
the identity of the terrorists. Congress chief Spokesman, Ravinder Sharma said
that the statements by Nirmal Singh were highly condemnable and objectionable. risingkashmir

Chinese army carried out
air sorties ahead of transgression in Uttarakhand
NEW DELHI: Ahead of its
transgression in Barahoti area in Uttarakhand+ , Chinese People's Liberation
Army had conducted a reconnaissance mission using high class aircraft armed
with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) which provides broad-area imaging at high
resolutions. According to official sources, 'TupolovTu 153M' aircraft of
Chinese PLA had carried out two to three sorties earlier this year in the
middle sector falling in the areas of Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and
Uttarakhand. Piecing together intelligence gathered from various sources in the
aftermath of Barahoti transgression , officials in the know said that at least
three sorties of the aircraft, which is designed by the Chinese companies on
the basis of technology from the erstwhile USSR, was carried out in last 3
months. The aircraft flies at an altitude of above 40,000 feet and can go up to
60,000 feet to avoid detection by radars and can click pictures and other cyber
and communication signatures at that height. It has an SAR which can provide
high-resolution pictures even in inclement weather or in night time. The
systems take advantage of the long-range propagation characteristics of radar
signals and the complex information processing capability of modern digital
electronics to provide high resolution imagery.PTI
Nazrul Islam lynched for
protesting against drugs, gambling, power theft
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Anti-drug-crusader-murdered/articleshow/53474202.cms
Kolkata: A whistleblower
had to pay with his life while another had a narrow escape after being abducted
from the heart of the city - all in the past 48 hours. While the first incident
was reported from Metiabruz, the abduction was in Ballygunge. The murder victim
is a 41-year-old trader, Sk Nazrul Islam, a resident of Lichubagan in
Metiabruz, who had been leading a citizens' crusade against a gang of drug and
satta dealers for three years. A year ago, he and wife Salma Bibi, who was
pregnant at the time, were beaten up. She suffered a miscarriage. This time,
the gang allegedly planned the murder after Nazrul began protesting against
hooking of illegal electricity connections by the rowdies.Around 11.45pm on
Friday, Nazrul walked about 200 metres from his residence to an open plot where
he would marshal his fellow crusaders to resist gangs that were trying to
openly sell ganja in the area. He was talking to three neighbours when six
armed men rushed in and started attacking him with shovels and iron rods,
police say, adding that the gang had cut off electricity to the area before the
attack. In the darkness, they brutally tortured and mutilated him."What they
did to Nazrul is barbaric. His face has been mutilated and his eyes gouged out.
They stabbed iron rods inside his nostrils and ripped them apart. They also
smashed all his teeth with shovels. He died on the spot," said the
victim's nephew Mehfuz Alam. Nazrul leaves behind his wife and two daughters,
aged 11 and five. timesofindia

9 Muslims killed in
Bhiwandi building collapse
Mumbai: At least 9 people
were killed on Sunday as a two-storey building collapsed at Bhiwandi near
Mumbai after incessant rains from Saturday night.Among the deceased were a
woman and her 4 sons. Even after the municipal corporation had declared the
building unfit for occupation, around 10 families were residing in it.
Officials involved in the rescue operation fear the death toll may increase as
more than 20 people are believed to be trapped under the debris.Continuous
showers are making it difficult to clear the rubble and rescue those who were
trapped. The building was located in Bhiwandi’s densely-populated Gaibi Nagar.
Three fire brigade vehicles have reached the spot to assist the rescue
operations. However, the operations were hampered by the narrow lane leading to
the building. 8 of the deceased were identified as — Shahjahan Khurshid Aalam
Ansari (42), her 4 sons Muddashir Khurshid Aalam Ansari (20), Saif Khurshid
Aalam Ansari (17), Khalid Khurshid Aalam Ansari (15) and Shakib Khurshid Aalam

These Delhi gravediggers
are traumatised with criminal threats and bad salaries
Delhi: In Hakimuddin’s
life, death comes every day, once, twice, even thrice. His grimy grey locks
weed out of a crocheted skullcap and his baggy kurta is blemished with mud.
Time and fate ganged up and angrily slash his legs with wounds of spades and
stones. Hakimuddin is a grave digger at the Delhi Gate Cemetery on Bahadur Shah
Zafar road. He earns `3,000 a month and along with Azhar and Kamruddin, he
buries the good and evil alike. Their families back in villages in UP are
oblivious about their trade, because it might hinder the wedding prospects of
their children. 3 live inside the 65-acre premises and sleep in an open
verandah along with two gardeners and two guards. They are surrounded by
epitaphs that rise centimeters into the sky and are pulled back in. Around
these, mongoose and snakes play chase. This is the biggest graveyard in Delhi
and it runs on a no-profit no-loss basis. Home to the graves of Shah Rukh
Khan’s parents, a burial here costs a minimum of Rs 1,500. Along with the other
487 Muslim graveyards in the capital, this one too is registered with the WAQF board,
but is run by an independent committee on a monthly budget of Rs 75,000. newindianexpress
Parrikar takes swipe at

Pune: Defence
Minister Manohar Parrikar on Saturday said anyone speaking against the country
must be “taught a lesson” in the same way that an “actor” and an “online

the Ramnath Goenka Awards, actor Aamir Khan had spoken about a “sense of
insecurity” resulting from increasing intolerance in the country, and mentioned
his wife Kiran Rao’s apprehensions about the future of their child in India.A
few months later, e-commerce giant Snapdeal, for which Khan was brand
ambassador, did not renew his contract. Snapdeal had earlier faced a strong
backlash on social media, including a reported loss of customers.“I am only
trying to point out… if anyone speaks like this, he has to be taught a lesson
of his life,” Parrikar said at a ceremony to launch the Marathi edition of a

Iraqi military commanders

planned offensive on the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant-held city of
Mosul, a New-York based rights group has said. The battle for Mosul, ISIL's de
facto capital in Iraq and the largest city anywhere in its self-proclaimed
caliphate, is expected later this year but plans have not been finalised,
officials and diplomats in Baghdad have said.Army, police and special forces
are expected to participate, with air support from a US-led coalition. The role
of Kurdish Peshmerga forces and Shia militias from the Popular Mobilisation
Forces (PMF) is unresolved and remains a point of contention. They will likely
join in the larger battle but may be restricted to the city's outskirts, the
officials said."Iraqi commanders shouldn't risk exposing Mosul civilians
to serious harm by militias with a record of recent abuse," said Joe
Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. aljazeera

Jamaat),” he said.Speaking at a discussion, the BNP leader further said, “You
