They will be discussing the #HijabVerdict, decked in vermillion red and Henna designs that resemble Lucknow's confusing bylanes. As the #Karvachauth fast peaks and they see their husbands' faces after a peep at a scarface moon, they will wonder why there's no ban on the #hijab
Progressive and regressive calle are subjective social dynamics best left to legislation.
Asking the #SupremeCourtOfIndia to do it is muddle-headed. How about a verdict for intercaste marriages or banning caste reference in matrimonial ads, then?
#HijabVerdict #hijab
I think the real issue is no longer #hijab but dress code or uniform. Any institution must explicitly explain its code is not against any religious practice or equally non-discriminatory. Be it turban, bindi, hijab or choti.
#HijabVerdict
#SupremeCourt
Politics is simple. You blame previous rulers for what they didn't, take credit for what they did, and put your own brand name on the hard work done by bureaucrats, academicians, inventors and entrepreneurs. And take a big bet on the reliable ignorance of young voters
Get used to the fact that modern democracy is about ideas from all sides being examined locally to be accepted or rejected by people. Competition of ideologies is as real as the competition for products or services. Foreigner don't instigate, they export ideas. Just like you.

J Chandrachud: Laws breathe life in our minds and expect us to behave in a civilised manner with respect to everyone - be it humans, animals or the environment. Law in that sense is a communal enterprise.
#JusticeDYChandrachud #NLUD
J Chandrachud: Laws can only do so much until all of us are willing to participate in its endeavour. A law is not an antidote to prevailing social values. Rather, it is a means to forge a new future based on the ideals enshrined in the Constitution.

In a world searching for non-western paradigms of modernity, #XiJinping today stated: “Chinese modernization offers humanity a new choice for achieving modernization.”
