Day after it said goodbye, Humans of Hindutva signals return
Humans of Hindutva has risen from the dead to fight and make fun of the right wing. A day after the Facebook satirist said goodbye, he announced his return by posting an image of wrestler Undertaker sitting in a casket and seemingly preparing for a fight.
A video clip of actor Leonardo DiCaprio as stockbroker Jordan Belfort in the 2013 Hollywood movie serves as another message of return. In the scene, DiCaprio gives a farewell speech to his colleagues but at the last moment says he is not quitting and will fight the legal charges brought against him.
The clip begins with Mohan Bhagwat, chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), speaking at a public event. The RSS, often the target of HoH’s satire, is described as the ideological parent of the BJP and is accused of planning to impose Hindu majoritarian policies in the country.
HoH’s post speaks of librandus, a disparaging term used for liberals, and the RSS inviting him for a speech. “Some are saying that it’s like rats leaving a sinking ship and some think that it’s because I have run out of lies and propaganda. These words hurt me because I have always cared what librandus think of me,” he says.
More than 500 comments on HoH’s post welcomed him back. “You are not the rat in the sinking ship. You are a necessity for the people like you. You forward that which is desirable,” said Facebook user Kuze Motoko.
“In a state like Punjab, drought-like conditions do not cause decrease in production but the input costs go up and that is not a good sign,” Sukhpal Singh, senior economist at the Punjab Agriculture University (PAU) said.
Singh added that the states which have given out farm waivers are already under tremendous financial stress due to heavy costs involved.
Poor rainfall also affects overall yield despite normal sowing and that causes worry among farmers worried.
“Good sowing is no measure of yield. If you miss the sowing window, yield drops. In Maharashtra and MP farmers faced a dry spell immediately after they finished sowing,” farm activist Ramandeep Mann pointed out.
Activists have slammed the police for delay in registering the case after the incident.
“After the murder, the police dilly-dallied for over 13 hours before the FIR was finally lodged on Sunday morning,” said activist Kailash Mina.
The police said that the cause of the death will be determined after the postmortem report arrives.
“A case of murder has been registered under relevant sections of the IPC and the SC/ST act,” said Mahendra Kumar Mina, station house officer, Patan police station.
He added none of the named accused has been arrested yet. Foundation seeking the scrutiny of the subscribers so that those having prepaid mobile connections on fake identities are weeded out. region.
Shifah herself wrote to Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday, dismissing the LBA’s claim and alleging that she was being unduly threatened. “The statement of LBA is false and concocted, an effort to suppress and threaten the rights of individual… I appeal not to let hatred and fear to win over love and compassion.” She also said that choosing Islam was her spiritual choice that had little to do with her marriage. A copy of this letter is with HT.
The Kargil MLA, Asgar Ali Karbalai, alleged that the LBA was trying to disturb communal harmony in an otherwise peaceful region. “There are no issues as such but they are trying to start one by talking about this boy-girl thing. The woman in this case converted to Islam on her own and out of her own judgement and choice married the Kargil man,” he added.
In a court affidavit last year in Karnataka, where Shifah was staying then, she declared that on April 22, 2015 she converted to Islam and on April 28, 2016 she changed her name to Shifah from Stanzin. “I am affirming my new Islamic faith in healthy and sound mind without any threat, force or compulsion or coercion from any person or person, whatsoever,” the affidavit said.
In another affidavit, Shifah said on July 7, 2016 she got married to Syed Murtaza Aga , out of her “own free will and consent”. She declared that she was not “induced or abducted” by her husband and that she was not under wrongful confinement.
When tensions rose, the couple approached the Jammu and Kashmir high court and in an order dated July 28, the court observed that during the case, the “petitioners shall not be harassed”.
The issue has garnered attention on social media too. In Ladakh-based Facebook groups, some users have sided with the LBA’s objections saying that “values to protect our identity and culture” should be respected, while many others criticised it, arguing that a woman had every right to marry whosoever or follow whichever religion she wants.
The state women’s commission has also written to the government to investigate the matter after reports that Shifah was being hounded.
“I, in fact, got in touch with the girl and she told me that she had converted before her marriage out of her own free will. She said she is an adult and educated enough to take decisions for herself,” said Nayeema Mehjoor, the commission’s chairperson. with the rising forces of ABVP.
ABVP had managed to get a seat in the central panel in 2015 when Saurabh Sharma was named the joint secretary in 2015, but it lost out last year when AISA-SFI coalition swept the polls.

Srikrishna, the new general secretary-elect, received the most votes and also maintained the highest margin. With 2,082 votes, he was 1,107 votes ahead of the runner-up, ABVP’s Nikunj Makwana.
The “tightest” race was for the president’s post, where Kumari breezed towards a comfortable win with 1,506 votes over ABVP’s Nidhi Tripathi, who trailed her by 464 votes.
