With the passage of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, the political interests of the BJP are carried forward in two important ways.
First, it can create fresh political forces within the Muslim community. BJP’s overlapping approach for Muslims is one of the exclusion, but there is much more in it. Improvements that propose the party for the community also weaken the notion of a unbroken Muslim political block. Triple talak ban and then criminalization first got the support of many Muslim women; And the amendment to the WAQF management law is proposed as a measure to free the community’s funds from the control of the nobles. This is for the benefit of the logic of poor Muslims, government and BJP. The BJP’s success border in achieving these objectives is a matter of debate, but these steps are definitely inspiring new negotiations among Muslims.
Second, two major BJP partners in Bihar – Janata Dal (United) and Telugu Desam Party in Andhra Pradesh – are weak and deeply inherent in the political agenda of senior partner. Their ability to negotiate difficult with the BJP was limited from the beginning, but both claimed to be Muslim friendly. His support for the Waqf Bill has stood within the Muslim community. They are unlikely to be supported by Muslims who support the amendments or who oppose them.
BJP’s deep decolonization drive
The BJP sees its current politics and governance as one of the deep decolonization. It is based on two complexes – first, the Congress rule was only an Indian version of a foreign English model; And second, colonialism in India began with the arrival of Islam, not with the British. Therefore, an extended and deep dicolonization drive is necessary for the revival of the country in explaining this. “This is not just education reform,” Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Writes on national education policy“This is an intellectual disintegration that India has waited for a long time, which will convert India into the competence of developed countries.”
In a similar vein, the government of Uttarakhand is Recently many places were namedRemoving the earlier Islamic. Some of the new names are clearly Hindus, but it is also notable that Dr. BR Ambedkar and Jyotibh Phule also come under a mixture of new names. The BJP is careful in including the subaltern icon in its Panthian at local and national levels.
Recently, this approach to align with subaltern icons was visible during the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of Nagpur. He paid tribute to the Rashtrapati Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Dalit leader Ambedkar in one day. Nagpur has not only been the center of Hindu cultural nationalism, but its clear rejection is also shown in Ambedkar’s adaptation to Buddhism. But the politics of a century of RSS, now supported by the power of the state, has silenced this difference between Hinduism and Buddhism. Radical Ambedkarism is still a very part of India’s political spectrum mixture, but the BJP is in great attention to keep it assimilating and controlled.
Law vs politics
Guilty on the allegations of embezzlement of public funds, Marine Le Penn, leader of the French national rally, has been disqualified from holding a public position for five years. She may not be able to escape in the 2027 presidential election. Many European countries are trying to ring their liberal politics with local, nationalist attackers through legal obstacles. Recently Romania In disqualified the winner of popular votes in the first round By staying in the race for the President.
American Democrats tried to prevent Donald Trump from returning to the White House through legal means, but the path did not succeed. When institutional designs are largely combined with popular willpower, the two work together. When they come into conflict on the head, it is a sign of the delicateness of the existing order, and the clouds of the revolution are a sign of the gathering.
Romance
In one step, before Donald Trump’s second presidential start, America has stopped government personnel By having romantic or sexual relations with Chinese citizens in China.
Danger for the nation can be internal and external, this limit is not only geographical, but also social. Therefore, boundaries are not only among countries but also among communities. Until 1967, when the US Supreme Court declared him unconstitutional, there were laws in many American states that prevents inter-contact marriage. Many states of India have raised legal obstacles for inter-caste and inter-religious marriage in recent times.
Federalism
How can the population-based delimitation of parliamentary constituencies help the BJP strengthen its electoral dominance by transferring political weight to its strongholds? Here are some numbers It makes sense.
