आज देश को आपकी जरूरत है। अपना कम्फर्ट ज़ॉन छोड़कर सड़कों पर उतरना होगा। जुलाई में भी हम सड़कों पर उतरे थे और कामयाब हुए थे, जिसके बाद शिक्षा मंत्री धर्मेंद्र प्रधान को इस्तीफा देना पड़ा था। ज्ञानेश कुमार के खिलाफ भी आवाज़ उठाना जरूरी है, वरना देश का लोकतंत्र खतरे में पड़ जाएगा!

The country already views the RSS as a terrorist organisation. The recovery of 44,000 live cartridges in Bihar and Haryana has raised serious questions about the country's security. Tejashwi Yadav has raised concerns, alleging that the accused are linked to the RSS.

#FreeSharjeelImam Can India's democracy provide equal political representation to its 200 million Muslims? Jailed JNU scholar Sharjeel Imam has once again sparked a debate over India's democracy, secularism and the political representation of its Muslim community. India is home to approximately 200 million Muslims, making it one of the world's largest Muslim populations. Yet, an important question remains: Does such a large community receive adequate representation in Parliament, state legislatures and the institutions where decisions are made? In an interview with The Quint, Sharjeel Imam questioned India's secular identity and electoral system. His arguments have reignited discussions among academics and activists. He argues that the First-Past-The-Post electoral system, without adequate safeguards, could lead to the permanent political marginalisation of Muslims. Referring to the concerns raised by Allama Iqbal and Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Imam argues that the political marginalisation of Muslims was a concern even before Partition, when Muslims were increasingly portrayed as an unwanted minority in the emerging nationalist discourse. His prolonged judicial detention has also raised serious questions about justice, bail and pre-trial imprisonment in India. Sharjeel Imam, Umar Khalid and several other Muslim students and activists have been in custody in connection with the alleged conspiracy behind the 2020 Delhi riots. The allegations remain subject to judicial proceedings. The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), passed in 2019, is another important part of this debate. It provides an accelerated route to citizenship for eligible non-Muslim migrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, while excluding Muslims from its provisions. This exclusion has prompted questions about India's secular principles. But the biggest question remains the political representation of Muslims. Does democracy simply mean casting a vote during elections? Is a community's role limited to mobilising crowds, raising slogans and providing electoral support to political parties? Or should it also have an equal place in Parliament, legislatures and decision-making institutions? The strength of Indian democracy should not be measured merely by the conduct of elections, but also by how effectively minorities are represented and included in the country's political and institutional framework. #SharjeelImam
