eznews.inIn a peculiar marital dispute from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, Mohammed Sagir alleges that his wife, Arshi, left him over his refusal to shave his beard. The couple, married just seven months ago, experienced escalating tensions after Arshi began objecting to Sagir's facial hair, which he cherished. This disagreement reportedly led to her developing feelings for her clean-shaven brother-in-law, Sabir, with whom she allegedly eloped in February. After searching for three months, Sagir filed a missing person report. In response, Arshi stated that her departure was due to Sagir's alleged sexual inadequacy rather than his beard. Upon returning to her parents' home with Sabir, she expressed her intention to marry him and demanded a portion of her dowry back from Sagir. Disheartened by the situation, Sagir formally divorced Arshi in front of police, marking a swift end to their brief union.

Eyewitness accounts reveal that the attackers interrogated victims, demanding they recite Islamic verses before executing those who failed. The attack drew widespread condemnation, prompting Prime Minister Modi to vow retaliation against both the perpetrators and their planners, with diplomatic tensions escalating between India and Pakistan, including expulsions and the suspension of critical treaties.

He highlighted the lack of caste data since 1931 and insisted that accurate statistics are essential for formulating policies for marginalized communities. Paswan also dismissed claims from Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders, questioning their inaction during their time in power. He acknowledged the support of BJP MLAs for the caste survey and reiterated the party's commitment to potentially introducing reservations in the private sector, while prioritizing the timely execution of the Census.
Published: May 01 2025, 4 pmeznews.inThe recent call for a caste census in India has sparked significant political discourse, with Rahul Gandhi credited for persistently advocating the issue despite facing ridicule. The demand, rooted in historical commissions like Kaka Kalelkar and Mandal, raises questions about its potential impact on India's political landscape, particularly in countering religion-centric politics. Observers consider this announcement a pivotal moment in India's journey towards social equity, alongside the adoption of the Constitution and the implementation of Mandal Commission recommendations in 1990. The caste census aims to empower the majority of OBCs, Dalits, and other marginalized groups, challenging the BJP’s Hindutva narrative. As the ruling party grows wary of the rising demand for a caste census, it reflects a broader realization that social justice is crucial for unity among Hindus. Ultimately, the census is seen not as an endpoint but as a step towards a more equitable society, echoing Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s vision of a casteless India.
