Indian Muslim Bid Adieu to ‘Talaq-e-biddat’

Awaited verdict over instant Triple Talaq has been declared on Tuesday , 22 August 2017 which came up with historical decision of banning such practice in India and so from now Muslim men can not give divorce to their wives just by uttering Talaq for three times which was happening from past so many decades.

The very first petition which got so much limelight was filed by Shayra Bano back in 2015 who rose her voice because her husband wanted to call off the 15 years long marriage and he did so by opting the means of triple talaq later some other women also joined her, matter got lot of coverage into media which in turn created lot of pressure over people in power and thus within the time span of just 2 years we got verdict.

For this very case, Supreme court  had formed a panel of 5 male members who all were from different religions i.e Hinduism , Islam , Sikhism ,Christianity and Zoroastrianism . The verdict was not the result of full favor of side rather there was a division of views in the ratio of 3:2 in which 3 were in favor of verdict.

Thing which need to be known is that there were 3 types of divorce practiced in Islamic Community in India : Firstly ‘Talaq-e-ahsan’ in which husband pronounces the term talaq but then period of 90 days or 3 menstrual cycle is being given to rethink over the issue then secondly there is ‘Talaq-e- hasan’ in which husband pronounces Talaq for 3 times over 3 months with gap of one month each and lastly ‘Talaq-e-biddat’ in which husband pronounces talaq for 3 times in one go.

So as per the current verdict , the last case of divorce i.e ‘Talaq-e-biddat’ has came to an end in India which is already been banned in many of the Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia , Pakistan , Afghanistan , Iran ,Iraq etc many years as found wrong and sinful.

The torch bearer of the case ,Shayra Bano stated “This is a historic day for muslim women .No muslim women will have to go through the harassement that I suffered.I am happy that my 11 year old daughter will not have to face such regressive practice when she grows up”

As per the prime minister ,”Judgement of the Hon’ble SC on triple talaq is historic . It grants equality to Muslim women and is a powerful measure for women empowerment” it actually happen very rarely when the decision is being welcomed politically by the oppositions too but this time fortunately happened the same thing as Vice president of congress party stated “Welcome the Supreme Court decision setting aside instant triple talaq.I congratulate the women who fought for justice”

To say final goodbye to ‘Talaq-e-biddat’ was actually the need of the time as there were plenty of tales of woe and a lot many cases of domestic violences , harrasements and assaults which was being  recorded as held  against women of muslim communities due to this very form divorce .

Humanity diminishing: Case of Rohingya Muslims

The situation in Myanmar is really sensitive due to extreme violent fight between Rohingya, a Muslim minority community and Myanmar security force .It is also been reported that till now out of the population of 1.1 million Rohingya more than 1, 60,000 of the people have fled to Bangladesh and other neighboring countries.

Recent fight started when Rohingya Arakan Salvation army attacked over Myanmar Security Force and in response of it the “clearance operation” was initiated by state backed security force and Buddhist militia which lead to killing of around 400 people. As per the UN, around  75,000 Rohingya fled from Rakhine Region as it was being burnt badily.

Myanmar is actually a Buddhist dominant country in all terms be it language, religion or ethics and so in the country, Rohingya are living a very pathetic life as being denied of basic rights, employment, freedoms etc.  and such conditions make them the world’s most unsafe minority community. They also don’t have free access to whole country and so just reside in an isolated part of the country which is the North most part of Rakhine region which share its border with Bangladesh.

Such differences exist from years, over the argument, as according to Rohingya they have their past roots from the Myanmar only while as per the Burmese citizens they are the immigrants Bengalis who were brought by Britishors in country for cheap labor and farming related occupation and thus they should not be recognized as the ethnic minority so clashes are basically due to immigration related problem and not because of religion as from ages Burma serves as a home of various religions – Buddhism , Christianity as well as Muslim too.

Rohingya Muslims are also unable to satisfy the criteria laid by citizenship law of Myanmar as according to it either one should have his both the ancestors from Myanmar only from the time of its independence i.e 1948 or an individual’s past three generations spend their lives in the country and thus they are not been issued any sort of Myanmar’s citizenship.

 Before this year, in 2012 too one such incident came into scene as Rohingyas were attacked as some were alleged of raping a Buddhist girl which turned intense and lead to death of several people than in 2016 Rohingya attacked on border post and then Aung Sang Suu Kyi intensified its crackdown on Rohingya people and it was not mere attack but much more of it as several cases of rapes , molestations ,assaults were reported.

Presently situation is really unbalanced as even small children are not been spare, they are beheaded, many are losing their families, they don’t have place to live and food to eat, around 78% of them are much below than poverty line. As per recent report of 2 September 2017 of UN , 700 buildings were burnt in Rakhine region

TOILET: EK DUKADH VYATHA

It would be a matter of utmost joy and happiness for the country as well as for its people if the country tops among other countries in any specific field but what if ones country lead the world in open defecation ? We Indians aspire to see our Nation being the superpower in coming years to go but unable to tackle with the very basic problem which is of the sanitation.

70% of the households in India has no access to toilets and which include rural houses and urban slums and out of total population of 1.2 billion of people 60% still defecate in open and which leads to increase in pollution , infections ,diseases in high terms not only this but the situation is much more pathetic for women and girls who become easy victims of being raped in their way to fields.

And out of all the thing which is really shocking is, that according to studies it comes into notice that first sewage and drainage system in world was found in Indus Civilization of India only and also through certain researches it was found that in some of the cities of the same civilization, the people had their personal toilets which clearly shows that those people were really open-minded in their prospect and were not like these generations for whom building up of toilets , actually is not at all a basic necessity.

According to one of the reports of Indian Human Development Report, “In villages approx 2/3rd of the houses has no toilets"The reason being so clear i.e in rural India to make and to do the disposal of excreta is against of their culture and religious norms and above that for males going out for releasing waste is much more wholesome and relieving.

Government after analyzing the problem has done multiple efforts to come up with the required solutions for this issue and have built a huge number of toilets too but it is very unfortunate that still instead of supporting the cause people have renovate the toilets into store room , shops ,cattle keeper room and what not .Not only this but according to one of the surveys released in June 2017 , 40% of household with a working latrine still have at least one person who regularly defecate in the open, which again is a matter of shame and depicts that only toilets formation is not enough rather people’s mentality is also required to be changed by proper awareness.

Why not to take inspiration from the country like Bangladesh who on one hand in every terms is backward to us but still on another hand was able to cut off its rate of open defecation from 19% to 3% in just 2 years which could became possible by focusing fully on sanitation related programs.

Its not just the responsibility of Government rather commoners also need to work over this to eradicate this huge problem from our very country and just by preaching nothing can be achieved rather we have to work together on ground level in required direction to bring the required change

Hobby: Stress boaster

Hobbies are certain activities which are performed in one’s leisure time and provide you a feeling of deep relaxation. Hobby has direct association with your interests and the unique perception you carry. As it has links with our creative part and our field of interest and so ultimately it acts as a stress boaster and really helpful if performed at the time of mental tension.

As someone said,” Find three hobby you love. One to make money, one to keep you in shape and one to be creative” which clearly guide us to the conclusion that it is not must that one can have just one of the hobby rather there can be multiple hobbies that one can posses.

  Now in order to enjoy their profession and to work up to the fullest, people are choosing their hobby and fields related to the same as their source of earning for example if one has keen interest in writing or speaking related stuff then they are pursuing journalism as their carrier or if one possess liking for cooking then heading their carrier in the field of hotel management and as holding interest in the same so excelling a lot in their respective fields.

Hobby are the gateway to escape out of the boring and monotonous life as provides immense pleasure to one. It’s not limited to singing, dancing, writing or reading rather there are certain strange yet interesting hobbies too like gathering coins and currencies of different countries or to have a huge collection of unique stamps.

Hobbies help you to explore yourself properly and make you know yourself way better, also it is something which act as a great source in order to build up your self-confidence. It speaks a lot about you and your personality and that’s the reason that in maximum every interview it is being asked to tell about your hobbies.

It also act as a perfect way to pass ones leisure or free time as one by practicing it in the meantime can utilize it efficiently but nowadays due to lot of technological advancement people and specially youth is much more concentrated over gadgets and can always be seen busy in social networking sites and thus devote no time on building and polishing their hobbies and it is not cool or good in any terms as such all activities are just virtually entrapping them and in no terms allowing them to know themselves.

So acknowledging the importance of hobbies in the student’s life ,several prestigious schools and colleges organize certain hobby development and polishing sessions after study hours and make students indulge in the same in order to make them grow and prosper in every possible positive way.

And so in context of youth it’s high time that their parents and they themselves after properly analyzing the very importance of such activities in life should take considerable steps in order to devote their time for the same.

Dressing Sense: Art of grooming personality

As it is said that, if you meet any new person then at that case, your first impression plays a prominent role as it would be responsible for the notions which a person would form about you and accordingly going to shape your relations. So if we talk about the ‘first impression’ in that case the foremost thing which is being consider by any other person is one’s sense of dressing as it possess the power to tell volumes about individual’s character or personality and in that case one should always have an enticing one. But than it should also be taken in consideration that one should not wear something because that is lot into trend or just because every second person is wearing the same because again we all are different as per our body compositions, weight, height, complexion or the religion, customs or traditions we follow and so only after analyzing all the factors, one should choose their attire which should be in accordance of one’s unique and original identity and fits one best as for instance Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India has his unique style of wearing Nehru coat over Kurta Pyjama which clearly suits him and make him look different from other political leaders.

Clothes you wear also tell about the mood one is carrying or the sort of person an individual is. As if someone is wearing certain sparkling dress with lot of makeup then it would clearly portray that, that girl is extrovert and love partying. The color one choses is also have its own prominent significance as if someone is wearing certain dull clothes than it would make you feel that either he is upset or going through certain down phase of life on the contrary to it if someone is carrying certain bright color attire than it would somewhere transfers positivity to you and make you feel jolly too.

As per Mark Twain, a well-known personality from the field of literature, “Clothe makes a man” relating its meaning with the professional world then it is well known that we all are living in a visually oriented world means the way we are going to present ourselves the same will decide our growth rate as clothes also tell the psychology you have, the discipline you carry, the dedication you possess and what not and so it is also a deciding factor about the place you are going to hold in certain organization. Its importance can be evaluated on the basis that even colleges and universities have subject known as soft skills development where one is taught how to speak and dress well in an interview or during work in the office as it is rightly said “A man is known by the way he address and dress”

So if from many days you are planning to develop your personality and unable to decide where to start bringing change from in that case the answer is very clear and simple i.e. just begin from your wardrobe.  Devote quality time in order to find what you actually are and what you desire to be portray as. It’s actually well proven fact that if yours dressing sense is perfect than it provides enormous confidence to you which in every term helps you to groom and develop your personality in best way possible.
