Let RSS and Jamaat-e-Islami Hind talk to each other. Pasmanda Muslims and India need that
It’s surprising to see that the January meeting between Jamaat-eIslami Hind and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh hasn’t gone down well with other Muslim groups. Any dialogue, which is conducive for democracy, enables various stakeholders to come on a common platform and iron out their differences. So why are Muslim leaders and political parties not welcoming the ‘dialogue’ between JIH and RSS, considered to be on the opposite end of the ideological spectrum?

Modi tweeted, “I would like to congratulate Shri @SangmaConrad for his Party’s commendable performance in the Meghalaya Assembly Polls. My friend, late Shri PA Sangma Ji would have been very proud.

AAP to Hold 2,500 Nukkad Sabhas in Delhi to Inform People About BJP’s ‘Authoritarianism’
CPI(M) leader and Kerala’s former education minister KT Jaleel accused JIH of meeting RSS leaders for personal interest since Media One, the TV channel run by the Jamaat, is facing a ban with a case pending before the Supreme Court. He also called JIH a “paper organisation” that has no support in the Muslim community. But the reality is that no single Muslim group in today’s India can claim to represent the majority of Indian Muslims. They do only in some capacities and their involvement in any dialogue around Hindu-Muslim issues should be seen as a positive step. Fellow groups such as Kerala Muslim Jamaath and Indian Union Muslim League condemning the JIH-RSS meeting doesn’t seem to come from a place of genuine concern for India’s 200 million Muslim community but their own interest. Also, an important aspect that nobody has acknowledged is that most of the stakeholders asserting to be speaking on behalf of the minorities are Ashrafs, there is no representation of Pasmandas who constitute the majority of Indian Muslims. Such dialogues can never be successful if Pasmanda are kept out since the fault lines between the two communities affect them the most.Building on RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s meeting with five Muslim leaders in August 2022.

There was no twist in the tale as Australia turned the tables on India with an emphatic nine-wicket win in the third Test on a track that offered wicked turn and variable bounce, confirming their place in the World Test
Championship (WTC) final, here Friday.Travis Head (49 not out) and Marnus Labuschagne (28 not out) survived some anxious moments before getting Australia home in 18.5 overs as the match got over in little over two days. Wins in India come rare for the visiting teams and it was no different for Australia, who recorded their first victory on Indian soil in six years. For India, it was only their third defeat in the last 10 years and they will need to rework their plans ahead of the final Test, beginning in Ahmedabad from March 9. The pitches in the series have also come under scathing criticism and it remains to be seen if India’s preference for spin-friendly tracks changes going ahead with the home team batters struggling badly to negotiate challenging conditions. India managed only 109 and 163 in their two innings.
Considering the way Australia had collapsed in second innings of Nagpur and Delhi, “anything” was on the cards on Friday morning.
Chasing a meagre 76, Australia were favourites but R Ashwin raised hopes of a miracle by getting Usman Khawaja caught behind in the second ball of the day. The ball turned sharply and took a faint tickle on way to the wicketkeeper.
The wicket added to the nervousness in the Australian dressing room. Labuschagne eased some those nerves by square cutting Ravindra Jadeja for the first boundary of the day. Both Labuschagne and Head, who is known his attacking approach, were looking to defend in the first 10 overs with Australia reaching 13 for one. However, momentum changed decisively in favour of Australia after the ball change following the 10th over.

Arsenal opened up a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League as Gabriel Martinelli struck twice in a 4-0 thrashing of relegationthreatened Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday. The hosts were initially frustrated by their struggling visitors but goals by Bukayo Saka and Martinelli shortly before halftime put them in command as they took maximum advantage of their game in hand over Manchester City. Captain Martin Odegaard made it 3-0 with a close-range finish in the 71st minute before Brazilian Martinelli grabbed his second to complete the rout. A third victory in succession since losing at home to City lifted Mikel Arteta’s side to 60 points from 25 games with champions City on 55. Everton, who now have only one victory from their last 27 league visits to Arsenal,
had actually looked capable of taking something from the game. But once they fell behind a 14th league defeat of the season was almost a formality. They remained third from bottom with 21 points having played a game more than all the teams around them. While Everton are haunted by the looming prospect of a first relegation from the Premier League, Arsenal are beginning to envisage a first title since 2004, although they still have to visit Manchester City in April.

Buying a home of their own is one of the biggest aspirations of an average Indian. With all the consideration, planning, and paperwork involved, purchasing a home or piece of land may be a time-consuming undertaking. The entire process of purchasing real estate in India is lengthy and involves several procedures that may vary from state to state, starting with the original choice to buy a home or piece of land and continuing through managing funds, registration, and documentation. The next step after choosing a residential property is to get it registered in your name. Even if the buyer has paid the seller the total finalised amount, the ownership is not regarded as legally
effective unless the property is registered. According to Section 17 of the Registration Act, registration of real estate in India is mandatory until and unless its worth is less than Rs 100. Once stamp duty and registration costs are paid, the property is registered in the name of the new owner. The registration of real estate in India is a complicated procedure with potential long-term effects if not done correctly. As a result, you must exercise caution when registering any property. The buyer must verify that the previous owner has cleared all of his dues by checking the documentation pertaining to when and how the property is transferred from one owner to another. The encumbrance certificate must also be examined for any pending lawsuits or mortgages.
