Tale of two Lit fests: Sunita Williams’ Kerala visit ignites a high-stakes literary showdown
Astronaut Sunita Williams touched down on Earth last March after orbiting the planet for nine long months. Ten days hadn’t passed before she received a message from a publishing house in Kerala. Soon after, they came to the point—would she finally consider attending the large literature festival they organise? DC Books, a Malayalam publishing house, had been courting her since 2019. On December…
ഒന്നാം ക്ലാസ്സ് മുതലുള്ള കുട്ടികള് അവര്ക്ക് ലിംഗപരമായി നിശ്ചയിച്ച കോണിയും കോറിഡോറും മാത്രമേ ഈ സ്കൂളില് ഉപയോഗിക്കാന് പാടുള്ളൂ. ആണ്കുട്ടികള്ക്ക് മുന്നിലെ കോറിഡോര്, പെണ്കുട്ടികള്ക്ക് പിന്നിലെ കോറിഡോര് എന്നതാണ് ഈ സ്കൂളിലെ നിലവിലുള്ള രീതി. പെണ്കുട്ടികളും ആണ്കുട്ടികളും സംസാരിച്ചതിന്റെ പേരില്, പിറന്നാള് ആഘോഷിച്ചതിന്റെ പേരില് പ്രണയിച്ചതിന്റെ പേരിലെല്ലാം സസ്പെന്ഷനും ശിക്ഷാ നടപടികളും തങ്ങളുടെ സ്കൂളില് ഉണ്ടായിട്ടുണ്ട് എന്നും വിദ്യാർഥികൾ ആരോപിക്കുന്നു. പത്തനംതിട്ട കൊല്ലമുള ലിറ്റിൽഫ്ലവർ സ്കൂളിലാണ് സംഭവം. #genderinequality #genderbias #keralaschool #social #mathrubhumi https://www.instagram.com/p/CixNZX3v2No/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
The Kanpur communal riots broke out while the Karachi Congress session was on in 1931. 400 people were killed in this riot. The Congress leadership appointed a committee to look into the riot. AG Noorani refers to the report by this committee in his article on hate speech and the SC. Bhagwan Das was the chairman of this committee. Purshottam Das Tandon, Mazhar Ali Sokhte, Abdul Latif Bijnori and Zafarul Malik were the members. It must also be recalled that Sardar Patel was the President of Congress then. The committee came to this conclusion: 'It will be noted that all the main controversies which at present embitter and have latterly divided the two communities, for example, the cow question, Ramlila and Moharram, and other religious occasions or processions, music before mosques; as also the question of representation in services, in municipalities and councils, joint and separate electorate; safeguards; redistribution of provinces and federal, as opposed to a unitary, basis of the constitution - all these did not and could not have existed during the Muslim period. They are all products of the British period and British policy.' It is this statement that should be the guiding light for Indian democracy.

Many historians including Romila Thapar have pointed out that the two-nation theory, which accuses the Muslims of raising the demand for a separate nation, has been the product of British colonial historians. This theory was built upon the premises of the extrapolations of James Mill whose work on the history of British India was published in 1817. This proposition of the colonial historians found flavour with Savarkar and Jinnah. The same dogma is allegedly spread by the anti-social elements in contemporary India. The Indian Muslims have rejected this theory emphatically. They stood by Gandhiji and Nehru not by Jinnah. That is why they decided to stay back in India when the nation gained independence in 1947. Their choice was India, not Pakistan. It was a well-thought-out announcement that they were preferring the secular state to a theocratic one. The makers of the Constitution made it crystal clear that the minorities will enjoy equal rights in the Republic of India.
