In October last year when the Guru Granth Sahib, was desecrated in Pun-jab, it had led to a mas-sive uproar against the ruling SAD-BJP govern-ment. So much so that the government had to launch the Mukh Man-tri Tirath Yatra scheme to control the statewide protests, spending crores and ferrying pilgrims to Varanasi, Sri Hazoor Sa-hib, Ajmer Sharif and churches in Chennai free of cost. While the SAD-BJP is still feeling the ripples of that ‘crisis’, another bombshell has been dropped in Punjab,

Most analyses in the pop-ular press have focused on the immediate global security concerns, includ-ing the Islamic State. The place to begin understand-ing the turmoil of a nation that heroically founded itself, posted a decent hu-

man-development record and has great potential going forward is Bangla-deshi society. The coun-try’s problem is political and sociological. Terror is but a mere imprint of the former. Recent events have further sharpened polarisation in a country that always had two con-testing nationalisms and two parties with opposing worldviews.

months ahead of assembly polls and this time it has embroiled the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). With Vijay Kumar, the main accused in the recent alleged des-ecration of the Quran in Malerkotla, naming AAP MLA Naresh Yadav as a ‘conspirator’, with the intention of ‘getting AAP political mileage’ in the

elections, the spotlight has shifted onto AAP. What has raised eyebrows is the timing of this ‘AAP-MLA expose’ by the police. Vi-jay Kumar, alongwith his two accomplices, was ar-rested on June 27, exactly three days after desecra-tion of the Quran. Earlier, police had maintained that Vijay was a ‘Pakistan and

Muslim hater’ who want-ed ‘revenge of Dinanagar and Pathankot terrorist attacks from Muslims.’ Patiala range IG PS Um-ranangal had clearly stated that ‘there was no other motive behind the act.’ A day later on June 28, it came to light that Vijay’s accomplice Nand Kishore is zonal secretary of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) in Pathankot – the organization claimed that ‘their leader has been falsely implicated’. It was only on July 2, five days after the arrest of Vijay and a night before the visit of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal to Punjab, that police came up with AAP MLA theory.

The charges pressed by the CBI are under sections 120-B of IPC (criminal conspiracy), and 13(2), 13(1)(d) of the Preven-tion of Corruption Act (Criminal conspiracy, criminal misconduct etc) for allegedly favouring a private company –En-deavour Systems Pvt. Ltd.– in bagging five con-tracts. The CBI alleged that the accused persons had entered into a crimi-

QUOTE OF THE

DAYWhy India needs a uniform civil code?

The brave fight put up by Muslim women against the practice of triple talaq has once again brought into fo-cus the lack of a uniform civil code in India. The Nar-endra Modi government has now asked the Law Com-mission to examine the issue. This is hopefully the first step towards the implementation of something that has been delayed for far too long. India needs a uniform civil code for two principal reasons. First, a secular re-public needs a common law for all citizens rather than differentiated rules based on religious practices. This was a key issue debated during the writing of the Con-stitution, with passionate arguments on both sides. The Indian Constitution was eventually stuck with a com-promise solution, a directive principle that says: “The state shall endeavour to secure for citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India.” Several members of the Constituent Assembly disagreed vehe-mently with the compromise. Among them were the trio of Minoo Masani, Hansa Mehta and Rajkumari Amrit Kaur. As Kaur argued: “One of the factors that have kept India back from advancing to nationhood has been the existence of personal laws based on religion which keep the nation divided into watertight compart-ments in many aspects of life.” Later, in the first decade after independence, the opposition from Hindu conser-vatives to the Hindu Code Bill was eventually over-come. Nothing similar was tried when it came to Mus-lim conservatives. The political leadership of the day mistakenly decided to not take on conservative Muslim opinion just after the trauma of partition. There is a sec-ond reason why a uniform civil code is needed: gender justice. The rights of women are usually limited under religious law, be it Hindu or Muslim. The practice of triple talaq is a classic example. It is important to note that B.R. Ambedkar fought hard for the passage of the Hindu Code Bill because he saw it as an opportunity to empower women. The great Muslim social reformer Hamid Dalwai also made the rights of women a cen-tral part of his campaign for a uniform civil code. It is unfortunate that the demand for a uniform civil code has been framed in the context of communal politics. Too many well-meaning people see it as majoritarian-ism under the garb of social reform. They should un-derstand why even the courts have often said in their judgements that the government should move towards a uniform civil code. The judgement in the Shah Bano case is well known, but the courts have made the same point in several other major judgements. The move towards a common civil code cannot be a hasty one. There is the obvious political challenge on assuaging the fears of the Muslim community. The government will have to work hard to build trust, but more impor-tantly, make common cause with social reformers rath-er than religious conservatives, as has been the wont of previous governments. One strategic option is to follow the path taken after the fiery debates over the reform of Hindu civil law in the 1950s. Rather than an omnibus approach, the Modi government could bring separate aspects such as marriage, adoption, succession and maintenance into a uniform civil code in stages. The civil law in Goa—derived from the Portuguese Civil Procedure Code of 1939—could be a useful starting point for a national debate.

Hrithik Roshan’s “Thug” will roll out in September this year and the mak-ers are on the lookout for a leading lady. To be helmed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, the film will be an action-thriller. “Thug” apparently borrows from Philip Meadows Tay-lor’s best-selling En-

glish novel “Confession of a Thug,” published in 1839, Catch News report-ed. The book is set in the 1932s and follows the thuggee cult of British India closely. However, the makers have kept the look and feel of the film modern and it only takes cues from the central theme of the book. This is

in stark contrast to what was being reported so far. “Thug” was said to be in-spired by Johnny Depp’s “Pirates of the Caribbe-an” franchise. However, sources in the know have denied the news saying Hrithik’s is an action-ad-venture film and in no way similar to the Holly-wood blockbuster.

There are host of stars which I consider big and this includes Hrithik (Ro-

We get several glimpses of her gritty, fiery person-ality in the film. Both as a truculent new student in a Mumbai college and as a worthy adversary to the bad guys Sonakshi manages to impress. We see her pull off the action choreography flawlessly, and her flying kicks could give Tiger Shroff a serious complex.

A Chennai-based Flipkart delivery agent has been arrested for stealing a number of iPhones from his employer, in a scheme he carried out for over a month before being caught. B Naveen (21), acquired a number of iPhone fakes, and set his plan into ac-tion. According to the New Indian Express, his idea was to place fake orders for iPhones in the Wash-ermenpet area, where he was the foremost delivery agent. Upon receiving the iPhones, Naveen would swap them for the fakes in his possession and re-turn them to the company, claiming the non-existent customers had returned them seeing as they were being cheated. Naveen managed to get a hold of 12 iPhones this way, before he slipped up. Naveen’s employer eventually noticed a disconcerting pat-tern, with an unusually high number of dissatisfied customers returning fake products in the Naveen’s area. Flipkart carried out an internal investigation into the matter and discovered that the phones dis-

patched were not the same ones being returned.

However, the 31-year-old skipper, who was also a part of the England squad that played controversial 2010 Lord’s Test, said that his side wouldn’t be affected by the same and that they would only con-centrate on playing their game.

Mumbai’s defence looked extremely efficient. None of the players made im-pulsive tackles. Patience was the name of the game as Anup and company showed why they’re still a team to be reckoned with- despite losing several im-portant players to rival teams this season.Leaders are extremely important in any team. Their per-formance rubs off on the others who look for inspi-ration during trying times. We spoke to their coach, Bhaskaran Edachery on

the leaders in his U Mum-ba side. Bhaskaran who also coaches the Indi-an side spoke about the players who are in charge on the mat. When asked about how U Mumba managed to have two lead-ers on the mat, he had this to say- “You can’t say that there are two leaders on the mat. Whenever Anup and Rakesh are together on the mat, Anup will lead the team. When Anup gets out, then Rakesh leads. When Anup gets tackled, he has to sit in the dugout.
