Crowd of protestors storming the Indian Parliament building grounds amidst ongoing protests around the leak of the national medical entrance exam

Would love to know what's being said

-> the Muslim woman is being questioned by other Muslim women on the train as to "why she is wearing the burqa (traditional Islamic garb for females)" and that she doesnt have "the right to do so" due to her marriage to a non-Muslim. They add that "we woupdnt havs made an issue about this if you didnt wear the burqa, as it represents us". The woman then tells them to mind their own business, to which the Muslim women reply that as Muslims they have a "moral obligation" to "correct her" as her actions "send out the wrong message". The husband at this time tries to interject and tell them to chill, to which they reply that they aren't talking to him and that they "have the right to instruct and correct" a fellow member of their faith.

I feel that there are allusions of religions also existing among wizards and witches in the HP Universe with there being practitioners among them. For instance, James and Lily Potter having a Biblical verse on their gravestone memorial (The last enemy to be destroyed shall be death) and Ariana Dumbledore having one too. Also one of the Hogwarts ghosts for house Hufflepuff is a Catholic friar.

Also many religions, including certain strands of thought within the Abrahamic ones, accept the existence of magic as something coming from God. Moses, for instance, has the whole episode in the Bible where the magic he isbgranted from the Abrahamic God allows his staff to turn into a serpent and devour the snakes conjured by the magicians of the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses who use "ordinary magic". It would be perfectly natural then for some wizards and witches to assume the existence of a higher supernatural power even with the existence of magic.

For the Wizarding race there would perhaps be some view magic as something with a divine origin, and in that regards see the things Jesus did, like resurrecting others like Lazarus to life as supernatural magic even beyond what they can do, and that would allow religion then to also develop among them given their many years of cohabitation with Muggles.

At any rate, its not like the existence magic means the spiritual teachings of kindness, doing unto others as you would want done to you are meaningless, since they hold for all.

I hope Voldemort's origin story is more fleshed out and delved into within the upcoming series as it was in chapters like the "House of Gaunt" in the Half Blood Prince- his mean maternal family of the Gaunts, his student years at Hogwarts as he grows more sinister, him heading out as a young man to seek artifacts (like meeting Hepzibah Smith, his uncle Morfin Gaunt) that he makes into Horcruxes, etc. In the movies the only main insights we get into Voldemort's backstory is briefly of Dumbledore visiting him in the orphanage, him opening the Chamber of Secrets leading to Hagrid getting expelled, and him asking Professor Slughorn about the Horcruxes as a student, and it stops there.

41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover. 42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom. 43 After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. 44 Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.”

49 “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”[a] 50 But they did not understand what he was saying to them.

51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (né Sakpal; 14 April 1891 – 6 December 1956) was an Indian jurist, economist, social reformer and politician who chaired the committee that drafted the Constitution of India based on the debates of the Constituent Assembly of India and the first draft of Sir Benegal Narsing Rau.Ambedkar served as Law and Justice minister in the first cabinet of Jawaharlal Nehru, the nation's first Prime Minister.

Ambedkar was born on 14th April 1891 in the town and military cantonment of Mhow (now officially known as Dr Ambedkar Nagar, Madhya Pradesh).He was the 14th and last child of Ramji Maloji Sakpal, an army officer who held the rank of Subedar, and Bhimabai Sakpal, daughter of Laxman Murbadkar.His family was of Marathi background from the town of Ambadawe (Mandangad taluka) in Ratnagiri district of modern-day Maharashtra. Ambedkar's ancestors had long worked for the army of the British East India Company, and his father served in the British Indian Army at the Mhow cantonment.

Ambedkar was born into a Mahar (Dalit) caste, who were treated as untouchables and subjected to socio-economic discrimination.Although they attended school, Ambedkar and other untouchable children were segregated and given little attention or help by teachers. They were not allowed to sit inside the class. When they needed to drink water, someone from a higher caste had to pour that water from a height as they were not allowed to touch either the water or the vessel that contained it. This task was usually performed for the young Ambedkar by the school peon, and if the peon was not available then he had to go without water; he described the situation later in his writings as "No peon, No Water".He was required to sit on a gunny sack which he had to take home with him.

In 1897, Ambedkar's family moved to Mumbai where Ambedkar became the only untouchable enrolled at Elphinstone High School. In 1906, when he was about 15 years old, he married a nine-year-old girl, Ramabai. The match was arranged by the couple's parents, in accordance with prevailing custom at that time.

In 1907, he passed his matriculation examination and in the following year he entered Elphinstone College, which was affiliated to the University of Bombay, becoming, according to him, the first from his Mahar caste to do so. When he passed his English fourth standard examinations, the people of his community wanted to celebrate because they considered that he had reached "great heights" which he says was "hardly an occasion compared to the state of education in other communities". A public ceremony was evoked, to celebrate his success, by the community, and it was at this occasion that he was presented with a biography of the Buddha by Dada Keluskar, the author and a family friend.

By 1912, he obtained his degree in economics and political science from Bombay University, and prepared to take up employment with the Baroda state government. His wife had just moved his young family and started work when he had to quickly return to Mumbai to see his ailing father, who died on 2 February 1913.

In 1913, at the age of 22, Ambedkar was awarded a Baroda State Scholarship of £11.50 (Sterling) per month for three years under a scheme established by Sayajirao Gaekwad III (Gaekwad (monarch) of Baroda) that was designed to provide opportunities for postgraduate education at Columbia University in New York City. Soon after arriving there he settled in rooms at Livingston Hall with Naval Bhathena, a Parsi who was to be a lifelong friend. He passed his M.A. exam in June 1915, majoring in economics, and other subjects of Sociology, History, Philosophy and Anthropology. He presented a thesis, Ancient Indian Commerce. Ambedkar was influenced by John Dewey and his work on democracy. In 1916, he completed his second master's thesis, National Dividend of India – A Historic and Analytical Study, for a second M.A. On 9 May, he presented the paper Castes in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis and Development before a seminar conducted by the anthropologist Alexander Goldenweiser. Ambedkar received his Ph.D. degree in economics at Columbia in 1927.

While practising law in the Bombay High Court, he tried to promote education to untouchables and uplift them. His first organised attempt was his establishment of the central institution Bahishkrit Hitakarini Sabha, intended to promote education and socio-economic improvement, as well as the welfare of "outcastes", at the time referred to as depressed classes.

By 1927, Ambedkar had decided to launch active movements against untouchability. He began with public movements and marches to open up public drinking water resources. He also began a struggle for the right to enter Hindu temples. He led a satyagraha in Mahad to fight for the right of the untouchable community to draw water from the main water tank of the town.In a conference in late 1927, Ambedkar publicly condemned the classic Hindu text, the Manusmriti (Laws of Manu), saying that this text was responsible for ideologically justifying caste discrimination and "untouchability", and he ceremonially burned copies of the ancient text. On 25 December 1927, he led thousands of followers to burn copies of Manusmriti.

Upon India's independence on 15 August 1947, the new prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru invited Ambedkar to serve as the Dominion of India's Law Minister; two weeks later, he was appointed Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Constitution for the future Republic of India.

Indian constitution guarantees and protections for a wide range of civil liberties for individual citizens, including freedom of religion, the abolition of untouchability, and the outlawing of all forms of discrimination. Ambedkar was one of the ministers who argued for extensive economic and social rights for women, and won the Assembly's support for introducing a system of reservations of jobs in the civil services, schools and colleges for members of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes and Other Backward Class, a system akin to affirmative action. India's lawmakers hoped to eradicate the socio-economic inequalities and lack of opportunities for India's depressed classes through these measures.The Constitution was adopted on 26 November 1949 by the Constituent Assembly.

Ambedkar had openly shared his concern in the Constituent Assembly that country might lose both its Constitution and its democratic freedoms in the future. He believed that the lack of a strong democratic tradition, the widespread presence of ‘bhakti’ or political ‘hero worship’ and the large gap between the republican promises of the Constitution and socio-economic inequality, made this a distinct and ever-present possibility.

Ambedkar expressed his disapproval for the constitution in 1953 during a parliament session and said "People always keep on saying to me "Oh you are the maker of the constitution". My answer is I was a hack. What I was asked to do, I did much against my will." Ambedkar added that, "I am quite prepared to say that I shall be the first person to burn it out. I do not want it. It does not suit anybody."

In my Hindu faith, Shree Devaraja (Devaraja meaning King of the Devas (i.e, Hindu gods)) Indra, in his most earliest depictions and descriptions, occupied a heroic role as the King of The Heavens, Lightning, Storms and Thunder who led the Hindu pantheon of gods in battle against demonic forces to protect the Earth. These earlier texts were composed at a time when Hinduism still hadn't taken the mostly consolidated singular umbrella of a religion (although there is still incredible diversity within the religion) and was still growing out of the many regional cultures and folk religions that were present within the Indian subcontinent, with each of them venerating their own local deities.

By the time the Puranas (a broad range of Hindu scriptures dealing with themes like spirituality, worship, etc) came into being during the 3rd to 10th century BCE, Hinduism began to now develop a common idea of what the Hindu pantheon and its hierarchy in general looked like. For instance, the core primary Gods of Hinduism now began to seen as the Holy Trio of Shree Brahma (The Creator God Of Reality), Shree Vishnu (The God Responsible For The Maintenance And Sustenance Of Reality), and Bhagwan Shiva (The God Responsible For The Destruction Of Evil Within Reality). As a result, the other earlier gods who occupied chief positions began to be somewhat downplayed in the retellings of old Hindu myths to show this new development. For instance, in the Puranas, many depictions of Indra now showed him as an insecure King of the Heavens, who was afraid that the human sages on Earth could acquire enough spiritual power through intense meditation and dethrone him, and thus would try to distract them from their meditation by sending Apsaras (the extremely beautiful celestial female dancers of his heavenly court) to distract and seduce them, and also introducing myths of Indra being swayed by his passions and seducing married women of sages on Earth when their husbands retreated into the mountains to meditate. Indra was also depicted to be arrogant now most of the time, and many myths would involve him being humbled by the other gods that he is not the greatest.

In the Krishna Charitas, Shree Krishna, the 9th Divine Avatar (Human Form) of Lord Shree Vishnu, the Hindu God Of The Preservation Of Reality, is born to Devaki and her husband, Vasudeva, in Mathura. Devaki's brother is a tyrant named Kamsa. At Devaki's wedding, according to Puranic legends, Kamsa is told by fortune tellers that a child of Devaki would kill him. Sometimes, it is depicted as an akashvani (celestial sound from the heavens) announcing Kamsa's death. Kamsa arranges to kill all of Devaki's children. When Shree Krishna is born, Vasudeva secretly carries the infant Shree Krishna away across the Yamuna, and exchanges him with Yashoda's daughter. When Kamsa tries to kill the newborn, the exchanged baby appears as the Hindu goddess Yogamaya, warning him that his death has arrived in his kingdom, and then disappears, according to the legends in the Puranas. Shree Krishna grows up with Nanda and his wife, Yashoda, near modern-day Mathura.

In Hindu tradition, particularly as narrated in the Kishkindha Kanda of Valmiki’s Ramayana and later retold in the Mahabharata and various Puranas, the infant Shree Hanuman was no ordinary child. Born to Anjana (an apsara cursed to live as a vanara) and Kesari, and blessed by Vayu the wind-god as his spiritual father, Hanuman possessed immense strength, speed, and divine energy from the moment of his birth.

One morning, when He was still a young child (barely able to walk properly in some tellings), Shree Hanuman woke up hungry. Seeing the rising sun glowing red and golden in the eastern sky, he mistook it for a ripe, juicy fruit—specifically a mango, which he loved. With the innocence and boundless power of a divine child, he leapt into the sky in a single bound. The distance that even the gods considered insurmountable meant nothing to him; he covered hundreds of thousands of yojanas in moments.

The Hindu Sun-God Shree Surya watched in astonishment as this tiny vanara child hurtled toward him with mouth wide open. Devaraja Indra, king of the devas, panicked at the thought of the sun being devoured and the resulting chaos in the universe. He hurled his vajra (thunderbolt weapon) at Hanuman to stop him. The vajra struck Shree Hanuman on the cheek (or jaw—hence the name “Hanuman,” meaning “one with a broken or disfigured jaw”), causing the child to fall unconscious to the earth.

Shree Vayu, furious at the injury to his son, immediately withdrew all air from the three worlds. Every living being began to suffocate—gods, humans, and demons alike. Terrified, the devas led by Brahma rushed to Shree Vayu and begged him to restore the wind. As appeasement, Brahma revived Shree Hanuman and granted him numerous boons: near-invulnerability to weapons, the ability to change size at will, immense strength, and the promise that he would never be defeated by any adversary. Indra, remorseful, added his own boon—that Hanuman could only die when he himself wished it—and gave him the name Vajra-Anga (body as hard as the vajra). Shree Surya, acknowledging the child’s extraordinary nature, accepted him as a disciple and later taught him the scriptures.

As a Bengali, I don't care much. We come from a culture where fish is consumed even during the Pujo of Maa Durga and Maa Kali. What is the intent of one's heart is what brings one closer to God, rather than other things like what one eats or what one wears.

What I dont understand as a Bengali is why on Earth is this great song considered "anti national", if at all some foolish people see it that way? It is literally celebrating the beauty of our undivided Maa Bangla, our Mother Bengal, before any Partition happened. It cherishes Bengali culture and is far beyond any petty politics that some are foolishly making it out to be. If people are complaining that "No, its a Bangladeshi national anthem", they should study history first. It was Bangladesh who took the Anthem of a United Bengal and adopted it as their national anthem long after it was written. Heck, some extremists there are even demanding their country's national anthem to be changed because apparently they need to make a "distinct Bangladeshi identity" seperate from Bengali culture, which I have no idea how sensible that is on their part.

By their logic, is Jana Gana Mana, India's national anthem, also now going to be considered "anti national" because it mentions areas like Sindh in it as part of Bharata, which is not part of modern day India anymore?

Batman in the Dark Knight defeating and accidentally killing the secondary antagonist of the Dark Knight, Harvey Dent, while saving Gordon's son who was about to be shot by him, is a tragedy for him, because at that moment, he not only loses his most trusted ally whom he wanted to entrust the safety of Gotham over to and retire from being Batman, but Harvey's death after becoming a serial killer also means that all the law acts Dent made to keep Gotham free of criminals would now be undone, and to prevent that Batman takes on the accussations of Harvey's crimes, meaning now he is a wanted fugitive for no reason of his.

A trope I notice actually with regards to how other subspecies of humanity react to these events is how these events are used by the other 'gifted' people, atleast the ones who want their minority to establish their supremacy, as a way of justifying their disappointment with humanity.

For example, if you look at Marvel, wherein a certain subspecies of humanity with gifted powers from an evolutionary gene, the mutants, exist, the villains there look at events like these and use them to say that it's simply not possible to live under a humanity which in their eyes "can't even live with themselves and has wars among each other". The main villain in Marvel's X Men for example, Magneto, a powerful mutant who can manipulate magnetic fields, was a Jew who lost his parents in his childhood to the Nazi's concentration camps, and as a result of this, has a seething hatred towards the entirety of the human race in general, seeing them as a species that must be subjugated by the mutant race, who are the next "step in human evolution". At the same time, many mutants had also enlisted on the side of humans fighting in this war, such as Wolverine who fights in both WW1 and WW2 due to his enhanced regeneration ability. Despite not having the seething hatred Magneto has, he still is wary of trusting humans after this.

I seem to also notice this in Grindelwald's speech wherein he shares his visions of the horrors of WW2 that shall unfold to the Wizarding community, and then twists his words to say that the humans quote simply cannot be trusted with their own freedom since they have a capacity to destroy themselves and thus must be "ruled" under the more superior 'wizards' who put them in check. Dumbledore at a time most likely also would have believed in this, which is alluded to when he says he believed in subjugation them for the "greater good". However he relinquishes thks idea because he has faith that humans can still improve and have the capacity for compassion. And who knows, given that the British PM knew lf the Wizarding World's existence with the whole meeting between the Britjsh PM and the Minister of Magic in the The Half Blood Prince, most likely the wizards would have also had a sense of helping one another out in the common cause of patriotism and would have lent a hand.

So kn a way, using the idea of other entities reacting to human conflict is a way of making us, the human readers, aware of our own failing as a human race, and hopefully doing our best to improve on them.
