LUCKNOW, India (AP) — Authorities in a northern Indian town imposed an indefinite curfew and ordered police to shoot violators after clashes over the construction of a Muslim seminary and a mosque left at least five people dead and more than 150 injured, officials said Friday.

The violence Thursday also led authorities to shut down internet services and schools in Haldwani, Uttarakhand state government official Chief Radha Raturi said.

The situation was brought under control with nearly 4,000 police officers rushing to the area, said police officer A.P. Anshuman. He said police were ordered to shoot protesters violating the curfew.

On Thursday, thousands of protesters tried to block government officials and police who arrived to demolish the seminary and mosque following a court order that the structures were being built on government land without local authorization, Anshuman said.

As violence escalated, police fired live ammunition and tear gas to disperse protesters using petrol bombs and stones to attack a police station and set several vehicles on fire, Anshuman said.

State police chief Abhinav Kumar said five people died in the violence. He did not give details but said no fresh violence was reported on Friday.

Government administrator Vandana Singh Chauhan over 150 police officers were injured and several people were hospitalized.

Anshuman did not say whether police fire killed the protesters. He also didn't identify the religion of the victims.

Haldwani is about 270 kilometers (170 miles) northeast of New Delhi.

Muslim groups and rights organizations have accused India’s Hindu-nationalist government of demolishing their homes and businesses in the past. Officials have defended their actions, saying they are only targeting illegal buildings, but critics call it a growing pattern of “bulldozer justice” aimed at punishing activists from minority group.

In a report released this week, Amnesty International condemned several instances of bulldozers razing Muslims’ homes, businesses and places of worship, which it said was often done under the guise of illegal encroachment and without adequate notice.

“The unlawful demolition of Muslim properties by the Indian authorities, peddled as ‘bulldozer justice’ by political leaders and media, is cruel and appalling. Such displacement and dispossession is deeply unjust, unlawful and discriminatory,” said Agnès Callamard, the rights group’s secretary general.

The group’s researchers found that between April and June 2022, authorities in five states used demolitions as punishment following incidents of communal violence or protests, and documented at least 128 demolitions during this period.

Critics and opponents have long accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of looking the other way and sometimes enabling hate speech against Muslims, who comprise 14% of India’s 1.4 billion people.

Modi’s Bhartiya Janata Party denies the accusations.

[warningsine]

"January 22, 2024 is not merely a date in the calendar but heralds the advent of a new era," Modi said, speaking outside the temple to the Hindu deity Ram, built on grounds where a mosque stood for centuries before it was torn down in 1992 by Hindu zealots incited by members of his party.

That demolition triggered the worst religious riots since independence – killing 2,000 people, most of them Muslims – and shook the foundations of India's officially secular political order.

Tens of thousands of chanting and dancing devotees waving flags, honking horns and beating drums have converged on the northern town of Ayodhya, with roads clogged, trains packed full and the rest marching in on foot.

Few members of Ayodhya's Muslim community were seen joining the jubilant street party.

But for Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the opening of the Ram Mandir temple is a landmark moment in a decades-long campaign to align the country's governance with its majority faith.

"The Lord has made me an instrument to represent all the people of India", Modi said when he launched an 11-day ritual fast ahead of the "auspicious" opening.

Tycoons, cricketers and actors

Excitement has reached a fever pitch, with thousands of Hindu believers dancing in packed streets as giant loudspeakers blast out religious tunes.

Vijay Kumar, 18, took four days to reach the town after walking and hitchhiking 600 kilometres (370 miles).

"We just wanted to be here," Kumar said. "We just wish to see the temple before we leave."

About 2,500 musicians are expected to perform on over 100 stages for the crowds of pilgrims, desperate to see the elaborate temple, built at an estimated $240 million that the project's backers say was sourced from public donations.

The 140 kilometres (87 miles) between the town and Uttar Pradesh state capital Lucknow is a seemingly endless stream of billboards of blue-skinned Ram with bow and arrow – as well as of Modi and the region's chief minister, the saffron-robed Hindu monk Yogi Adityanath.

Bukesh Rajiybng, 54, travelled for three days in a jam-packed train to attend the celebration.

"It's a moment we have all dreamed of for decades," he said. "I think the people and Ram will definitely bless Modi for this."

Other attendees jetted in to the newly built international airport and will stay at a crop of hotels built to cater to the millions of pilgrims expected to visit each year. 

Among the celebrity guests at the opening are Indian tycoons, former national cricket captain Virat Kohli and Bollywood titan Amitabh Bachchan.

'Death and destruction'

Modi and the BJP have sought to bring the Hindu faith to the forefront of public life since sweeping to power a decade ago.

Party luminaries regularly condemn earlier eras of Islamic rule over parts of India as a time of "slavery" when their own religion was oppressed, with Ayodhya a key plank in their narrative.

Devout Hindus believe Ram, one of the most revered Hindu gods, was born in the town more than 7,000 years ago, but that the Babri mosque was built over his birthplace by a 16th-century Muslim emperor.

The BJP played an instrumental role in public campaigning that eventually led to the mosque's demolition.

The destruction presaged the rise of the BJP and Modi as unstoppable electoral juggernauts, displacing the secularist Congress party that had governed India almost without interruption since independence from Britain.

Modi's consecration of the temple alongside Hindu priests will again project him as a defender of the faith ahead of a general election expected to begin in April.

The BJP is heavily favoured to win a third successive landslide victory, in part because of Modi's appeals to Hindu nationalism, and opposition parties are boycotting the temple ceremony, saying the event will be a thinly veiled campaign rally.

Many of India's 200 million Muslims, already anxious in a climate of increased sectarian tensions, have watched the clamour around the temple with trepidation.

Mohammed Shahid, 52, speaking to AFP last month in Ayodhya, recounted how his father was burned alive by a mob.

"For me, the temple symbolises nothing but death and destruction", he said.

if you had to introduce yourself through four books, what books would be they be? tagged by @metamatar thank u so much and i am v sorry for taking so long with responding to this <3

i am paralized by choices fr, but i think what rhu said in their post was also true that books you read when you're a teenager stick the longest. unfortunately for me one of the major ones was harry potter from which i have relentlessly disassociated over time so now that feels like no way to introduce myself. anyway

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. look i know it's not even my favourite (yeah, shockingly, my favourite is Mansfield Park) one amongst all of the books she wrote, but this was the first one i read, the first one i thought of when i thought ✨romance✨. i shudder to call it enemies to lovers also because the dynamic is so unique and the subject of every author's envy since miss austen dropped this beat in 1813. also you guys have no idea how much of my personality is inspired by this one, i have simply invented myself through the yearning and love that austen put in me. i wrote my master's thesis on emma.

Uprooted by Naomi Novik. this book saved my life during my master's. i had just gone through three years of undergraduate, and anyone who has studied literature will tell you that studying literature kind of sucks the life out of it. to discover it again takes something, and naomi novik entered my life, looked me in the eye, and said, "you're gonna fuckin love this. enemies to lovers, beauty and the beast, language based magic system, everything you love." and i fuckin fell for it, i was changed dramatically, i read all of the new age fantasy fiction of the fantasy renaissance. as u can see im just a romance gal.

Milk Teeth by Amrita Mahale. i hesitate to put this because i only read it this year, but since it's been living rent free in my mind since, i suppose we will just have say it's one of Those Ones. im not even sure if this one is as well written as it could have been but there were so many moments that made me feel like the author was crawling into my own skin, so, you know. the protagonist of the story was so interesting, the premise was so interesting, the dilemma and the political decision was so well framed,,,,, it is simply living in my mind since then.

The House that BJ Built by Anuja Chauhan. its basic and i know everyone's favourite is Those Pricey Thakur Girls but this one also happened to me and it just ushered in new kinds of reading for me. i know this is an unpopular opinion but loving delhi is such a central part of me that it just feels good to read about someone who falls in love in this city. also the protagonist is my absolute favourite, Bonu has my whole heart. i know she has like problems, i remember @whatdoesthefuturebehold and i had like a chat about it, but i can't help it, it's just my jam,,,,

The Truth by Terry Pratchett. sorry for cheating a little but i love this one so much. it's just got the best of pratchett in it, everything i love. meditations on the social contract, a printing press, fun romps with newspapers and the state of our reading public. plus that standard terry pratchett flair of just. militant decency. i know it makes sense as a standalone, but, holy shit, i'd have loved a sequel. i also struggled so much between putting this or tiffany aching, but i think i covered loving witches in Uprooted so you know, figured i'd throw in my love for print cultures.

shoutout to the Book of Indian Folk Tales of which i cannot remember the author. it's lying in my home in lucknow somewhere, i may post about it later. anyway thats me <3. let me tag @readingthenight @half-past-late @infantisimo and @khlur

UP Congress Plans Extensive Dalit Outreach Ahead of 2027 Assembly Polls

Following its success in regaining a significant portion of the Dalit vote in Uttar Pradesh, the Congress has launched an extensive outreach campaign to solidify this support for the 2027 Assembly elections. The party’s first focus is Gorakhpur, the home turf of UP CM Yogi Adityanath.

Reconnecting with the Dalit Community

The Congress aims to strengthen its ties with the Dalit community through special membership drives, identifying influential Dalit figures in each Assembly constituency, and organizing division-level “sammelans” and district-level “Dalit chaupals” to address community issues.

Detailed Outreach Plan

At a recent high-level meeting at the state Congress headquarters in Lucknow, a detailed 15-day program was crafted with input from prominent Dalit leaders across the state. Although not officially announced, the first four sammelans are proposed for Gorakhpur, Lucknow, Varanasi, and Meerut.

Leadership and Support

Alok Prasad, head of the UP Congress’s Scheduled Caste (SC) department, emphasized the party’s commitment to the Dalit community. “Dalits have traditionally been our supporters but drifted away over time. However, they supported us in the recent elections. It’s now our responsibility to listen to their issues and find solutions,” he said.

Action Plan

Starting in Gorakhpur, the Congress will launch a membership drive to enroll at least 1,000 prominent Dalit faces from each Assembly segment. In coordination with district units, “Dalit chaupals” will be held fortnightly in Dalit-dominated areas.

Strengthening the Organization

The Congress plans to assign new responsibilities to prominent Dalit leaders within the organization to strengthen its SC unit at the grassroots level. The outreach also aims to engage professionals from the community, such as doctors and teachers, to address their issues.

Political Strategy

The Congress’s strategy includes promoting Dalit leaders within the INDIA bloc, such as supporting Faizabad MP Awadhesh Prasad for the role of Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker. This move aims to highlight the coalition’s commitment to Dalit leadership, especially in regions with significant Pasi Dalit populations.

Impact on BJP

According to internal BJP reviews, the shift of Dalit votes to the SP-Congress alliance has significantly impacted their performance. Approximately 6% of the BSP’s core Jatav Dalit votes shifted to the INDIA alliance, helping the Opposition coalition in the elections.

This guide delves into the Ayodhya Ram Mandir, offering a comprehensive overview of its history, architecture, religious importance, and practical information for planning your visit.

A Land Steeped in History: The Ayodhya Ram Mandir's Lineage

The history of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir stretches back millennia. According to Hindu belief, the site was the birthplace of Lord Rama, the seventh avatar of Vishnu, the preserver god in the Hindu trinity. Historical records mention the existence of a grand Ram temple at Ayodhya dating back to ancient times. However, the 16th century witnessed the construction of a mosque on the disputed site, creating a long-standing religious and political controversy.

A New Dawn: Construction of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir

In 2019, a historic Supreme Court verdict paved the way for the construction of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir. A trust, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, was formed to oversee the construction and management of the temple. The foundation stone laying ceremony took place in 2020, marking a significant milestone.

A Glimpse of Grandeur: The Ayodhya Ram Mandir's Architecture

The Ayodhya Ram Mandir is being constructed in the North Indian style of architecture, characterized by intricate carvings, towering shikharas (spires), and spacious courtyards. The temple complex will feature a Garbha Griha (sanctum sanctorum) housing the idol of Lord Rama, along with other deities from the Ramayana. The sprawling complex will also include a number of mandapas (halls) for prayers and gatherings, reflecting the grandeur of traditional Hindu temple architecture.

A Beacon of Faith: The Religious Significance of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir

For millions of Hindus, the Ayodhya Ram Mandir represents the culmination of a long-held dream. Lord Rama is considered the ideal king, embodying the virtues of righteousness, courage, and devotion. The construction of the temple is seen as a restoration of a sacred site and a symbol of faith. The Ayodhya Ram Mandir is expected to become a major pilgrimage destination, attracting devotees from all over India and the world.

Getting There: Ayodhya is well-connected by rail and road to major Indian cities. The closest airport is Lucknow Airport, located approximately 130 kilometers away.

Accommodation: Ayodhya offers a range of accommodation options, from budget guesthouses to luxurious hotels. Booking your stay in advance, especially during peak pilgrimage seasons, is recommended.

Things to Do: In addition to visiting the Ayodhya Ram Mandir, explore other historical and religious sites in Ayodhya, such as the Kanak Bhavan, believed to be the birthplace of Lord Rama's brother Lakshmana, and the Hanumangarhi temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman. Experience the vibrant culture of Ayodhya by attending aarti ceremonies and exploring local markets.

Beyond the Temple Walls: Exploring Ayodhya

Ayodhya is not just about the Ayodhya Ram Mandir. This ancient city holds immense significance in Hindu mythology and is believed to be the birthplace of several other Hindu deities. Explore the rich tapestry of Ayodhya by visiting:

Sarayu River: Considered sacred by Hindus, the Sarayu River flows through Ayodhya. Take a boat ride on the river and experience the serenity of the surroundings.

Ghats: Ayodhya boasts several ghats (bathing steps) along the Sarayu River, where pilgrims perform rituals and take holy dips. Witness the vibrant culture and spiritual devotion prevalent at these ghats.

Museums: Explore museums like the Ayodhya Research Institute Museum to gain insights into the city's rich history and archaeological findings.

Kiara Advani Biography

Kiara Advani, a name synonymous with grace and talent, has become a force to be reckoned with in the Indian film industry. But her journey to the top wasn't without its share of twists and turns. Let's delve into the captivating story of this Bollywood beauty, exploring her family background, educational pursuits, and the remarkable milestones that have shaped her career.

A Family Steeped in Legacy

Born Alia Advani in 1992 [Wikipedia: Kiara Advani], Kiara comes from a family with a rich tapestry of heritage. Her father, Jagdeep Advani, is a Sindhi Hindu businessman, while her mother, Genevieve Jaffrey, is a teacher with a fascinating lineage. Kiara's maternal grandfather hailed from Lucknow, and her maternal grandmother boasted Scottish, Irish, Portuguese, and Spanish ancestry. This unique blend of cultures is perhaps what contributes to Kiara's captivating screen presence.

Interestingly, the world of cinema wasn't entirely foreign to Kiara. Actors Ashok Kumar and Saeed Jaffrey are her step-great-grandfather and great-uncle, respectively. It seems creativity runs deep in her blood!

Education and Early Steps

Kiara received her education at the prestigious Cathedral and John Connon School in Mumbai. Later, she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communication from Jai Hind College. While academics were important, Kiara's heart yearned for the world of entertainment. Her first brush with the camera came as a toddler, featuring in a Wipro baby commercial alongside her mother, who was a model at the time. This early exposure might have sparked a lifelong passion for performing.

A Glittering Debut and Rise to Prominence

Kiara's official Bollywood debut came in 2014 with the film "Fugly." Though the movie wasn't a box office success, it marked the beginning of her journey. The turning point arrived in 2016 with the biographical sports drama "M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story." Kiara's portrayal of M.S. Dhoni's wife, Sakshi Singh, garnered her critical acclaim and recognition. This propelled her into the spotlight, paving the way for a string of successful projects.

Milestones and Achievements

Since then, Kiara has delivered captivating performances in a diverse range of films. From the Telugu political drama "Bharat Ane Nenu" to the unconventional anthology "Lust Stories," she has showcased her versatility and ability to adapt to any role. Her portrayal of Preeti in the commercially successful "Kabir Singh" and the effervescent Monika in the comedy "Good Newwz" further solidified her position as a leading actress.

Kiara's talent has been acknowledged by the industry as well. She has been the recipient of several accolades, including the Zee Cine Award for Best Actress - Viewers Choice.

Personal Life and Beyond the Spotlight

While Kiara is known for her on-screen persona, she maintains a relatively private life off-camera. As of May 2024, there have been reports of her marriage to actor Sidharth Malhotra, but the couple has yet to officially confirm the news.

Interesting Facts

Kiara wasn't always Kiara! She adopted her stage name before her debut upon Salman Khan's suggestion, as another actress, Alia Bhatt, was already a prominent figure in the industry.

Kiara's talent extends beyond acting. Her brother, Mishaal, is a musician, and it seems the artistic streak runs strong in the family.

A Bright Future Awaits

With her dedication, talent, and undeniable charm, Kiara Advani is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with in Bollywood. As she continues to captivate audiences with her diverse portrayals, one thing is certain - Kiara's journey to the top is far from over. We can't wait to see what exciting projects this phenomenal actress takes on next!

LUCKNOW, India (AP) — An Indian state has approved an unprecedented uniform code for marriage, divorce, adoption and inheritance for Hindus, Muslims and other religious communities under new legislation that also requires couples that live together to register with the government or face punishment.

Northern Uttarakhand state lawmakers passed the legislation on Wednesday and its approval by the state governor and the Indian president is seen as a formality before it becomes law in the state. Muslim leaders and others oppose the Uniform Civil Code initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu Nationalist party saying it interferes with their own laws and customs on such issues.

India, the world’s most populous nation with more than 1.4 billion people, is comprised of around 80% Hindus and about 14% Muslims. Muslims accuse Modi’s right-wing nationalist party of pursuing a Hindu agenda that discriminates against them and directly imposes laws interfering with their faith.

“This is a nefarious political design to drive a wedge in the society on religious lines,” said Yashpal Arya, an opposition Congress party lawmaker.

Pushkar Singh Dhami, the top elected official in Uttarakhand state, said: “The new legislation is not against any religion or community, but will bring uniformity in the society."

Other states ruled by Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party are expected to introduce similar legislation. If the BJP wins national elections expected in April or May, it may bring such legislation at the federal level.

The new law bans polygamy and sets a uniform age for marriage for men and women — 21 and 18, respectively — across all religions and also includes a uniform process for divorce.

Hindus, Muslims, Christians and other minority groups in India currently follow their own laws and customs for marriage, divorce, adoption and inheritance.

Asaduddin Owaisi, president of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen, said the legislation is merely a Hindu code that applies to all.

"I have a right to practice my religion and culture. This bill forces me to follow a different religion and culture. In our religion, inheritance and marriage are part of religious practice," he said on X, formerly Twitter.

S.Q.R. Ilyas, the spokesperson for the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, said: “The bill is unnecessary, and goes against the principle of diversity. Its primary target appears to be Muslims, especially since even (some Indigenous tribes) have been exempted."

A significant feature of the bill is the introduction of stringent measures that require the registration of live-in relationships. Couples failing to register their live-in status with district officials could face up to six months in prison or a fine of 25,000 rupees ($305) or both, said Manoj Singh Tamta, a state government official. He said the bill explicitly states that children born out of such relationships will be considered legitimate offspring of the couple, inheriting all legal rights available to those born within a traditional marriage.

Sanjay Agnihotri, a consultant with a non-government organization that works in micro-financing, said he and his girlfriend belong to different castes and their families oppose the idea of them marrying. They relocated to another city and started living as partners without formalizing their relationship through marriage.

"However, the new legislation mandates us to register our relationship, which could potentially subject us to unwarranted police scrutiny,” said Agnihotri.

Uttarakhand became the first Indian state after it won independence from British colonialists in 1947 to adopt legislation on marriage, divorce, land, property and inheritance for all citizens, irrespective of their religion, a key part of the BJP's agenda for decades.
