And we were taught during Hindi class that understanding and knowing Urdu is very important
More than Hindi a barter language was built up as chaste and upper crust language
In reality Urdu was created in the brothels of Agra, Delhi, Lucknow and Allahabad for the mughal prince's and other ruling class children.
It still is a ******** language.

Chetak saar, I keep hearing from other sources that Sheikh Abdullah and Neverwho are related somehow, I haven't bothered to research the topic. So the bonhomie with Congress is natural. Maybe you have more on this connection, would like to hear from you.
There was gossip that Jawaharlal and Sheikh Abdullah were half-brothers.
A slight variation of the above: Rajiv & Farooq that have the same pedigree if you get my drift
The Congress has asked for a third seat from the Samajwadi Party for the bypolls in Uttar Pradesh as the party is unhappy with the two seats allocated to it, according to an India Today TV report.
Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had informally discussed the seat-sharing for upcoming bypolls during the swearing-in ceremony of Omar Abdullah as the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir in Srinagar on October 16, the report said citing sources.
Currently, the Samajwadi Party has offered Ghaziabad and Khair seats to Congress. However, Congress is still claiming the Phulpur seat, where the Samajwadi Party has announced its own candidate, it added.
Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Congress in-charge Avinash Pandey, Party Chief Ajay Rai, and Party Leader Aradhana Mishra are negotiating with the Akhilesh Yadav-led party. However, the Samajwadi Party is not planning to give more seats, the report said.
in UP, akal-less has paid him back in the same coin, but unlike dimwit in haryana, alal-less did not refuse to give him any seats but he left him with no choice in UP by giving him those seats that dimwit could never win in a thousand years
omar the abdoolah has buried the dimwit in cashmere
in maharashtra, he is getting his political butt handed to him in seat sharing talks and it may well be the onion's last hurrah and he wants to go out in a bang by enthroning his papa ki pari as the CM, and so he has pulled out all stops
his haughty familial arrogance and the deeply ingrained DNA based sense of entitlement has rubbed many of the indi alliance stalwarts the wrong way
and he has managed to marginalize his own biggest asset, mamamia mafia
dimwit is beginning to increasingly look like napoleon at waterloo
Bengaluru: BJP leader Tejasvi Surya on Friday said the Karnataka State Board of Waqfs has
claimed its ownership over 1,500 acres of ancestral land of farmers in Honvada village in
Vijayapura district in North Karnataka.
The Bengaluru South MP said that the farmers of Honvada village in Tikota Taluk were
served notices declaring their lands as Waqf property "with no evidence or explanation
provided".
In a statement, Surya alleged that Karnataka Waqf Minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan
directed the deputy commissioner and revenue officials to register lands in favour of the
Waqf Board within 15 days.
"In recent months, farmers from the Vijayapura district have been served
notices declaring their lands as waqf property, with no evidence or explanation
provided. The extent of these claims is staggering, with nearly 1,500 acres
claimed in a single village of Honvada," the BJP leader said.
He alleged, "Khan recently visited and directed the deputy commissioner and
revenue officials to register lands in favour of the Waqf Board within 15 days,
with the aim to circumventing the reforms being brought in by PM Narendra
Modi-led government through the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024."
Surya rued that this entire process is being executed in violation of the
principles natural justice, sidelining farmers while their land titles are being
changed to the Waqf Board's name in revenue records.
"India runs on the basis of the rule of law and the Constitution, not on Sharia or
instructions of Ministers like Zameer Ahmed Khan," he added.
The troubling actions by the Waqf Board were threatening the livelihoods and
rights of families who have tilled these lands for generations, the MP, who is
also Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha president said.
He slammed the Congress for drafting laws giving unbridled and unchecked
powers to the Waqf Board with the 1955 and 2013 Waqf Acts.
He stated that the Waqf law of 1955 and Amendment of 2013 provide the Waqf
Board unchecked power to claim any property as Waqf land.
He further said that any citizen affected by the Waqf Board's claims over his or
her land is forced to approach the Waqf Tribunal itself for settlement of the
issue instead of a civil court.
"The law further takes away the right of appeal of a citizen over his property by
making the decision of the tribunal final. By enacting such laws the Congress
has committed a betrayal to citizens across the country," he alleged.
a 1700 page EC Report का करारा 'थप्पड़' on the face of these congi clowns and perpetually sore losers
the multiple allegations of EVM manipulations made after every lost election are all being made specifically to safeguard the dimwit from getting directly blamed for the loss and shielding him from internal and external accusations of lack of leadership skills, hoping this still keeps his battered halo shiny. The congis are plagued by incompetent leadership, the mafia are all past their shelf lives and way past their sell by dates.
the dimwit also purposefully makes these very allegations and accusations during his frequent sojourns to videsh, thus laying grounds to absolve himself from any direct responsibility and accountability for the loss of election(s)
Surely, his puppet masters are not that naive so as to believe his constantly and conveniently trotted out face saving lies
This is a page right out of khujliwal's BIF playbook
For the first time any political party (congerss) in India has used the words: "We do not accept the results of these elections"
Refrain from baseless charges election after election: Poll body rebukes Congress
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has asked Congress and other political parties to avoid raising "unfounded and sensational complaints" at critical times, such as polling and counting days.
It seems that sour jalebis are not leaving Congress anytime soon. This time, it’s the Election Commission serving them a packet of sour jalebis. Known for blaming everything under the sun except Rahul Gandhi for its election defeats, Congress had previously pointed fingers at the Election Commission, accusing it of unfairly conducting the Haryana elections, which, they claim, led to their loss.
Congress alleged that there were irregularities in the Haryana elections and raised questions upon the fairness of the election upon which the Election Commission of India has come down heavily upon the party.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) strongly rejected Congress’ allegations of irregularities in the Haryana Assembly elections and called them baseless and devoid of facts.
during the times of a particular father son dynaaastic duo, there wasn't a single Hindu on the TTD board, and even the sacred prasad given to devotees was deliberately contaminated to humiliate an entire civilization
Biggest SAVAGE reply of day
TTD Chairman BR Naidu to Owaisi -
"Comparison b/w Waqf Board & Tirupati temple is baseless.
WAQF BOARD IS REAL ESTATE FIRM, AND TIRUMALA IS A TEMPLE."
Owaisi had said if TTD Board can appoint only Hindus in Tirupati Temple, how can #Modi Sarkar appoint Non-Mu$£ims on Waqf Board as per proposed amendment.
Note- Karnataka was a State with Surplus Budget under BJP Govt. Today, CONgress has brought down the state to this level. Sad!
...
It has become a standard cycle. BJP in power puts taxes and brings budget to surplus. Congress promises freebies and people vote it to power. Congress bankrupts state and people vote BJP to power. Repeat.
The BJP is experimenting with the cycle in Maharashtra
On the by-election in Palakkad, Kerala. Video with the English subtitles in the Twitter link. I know minorities voting for BJP is in very low percentage, but with proper awareness there could be a significant shift.
Kerala Christian: "I'm a Christian and have just voted for the BJP. There is no question of supporting the Congress and the Left because they support the Waqf. Today we can't sell or take loans on our properties because of Waqf claims. The BJP is the only party that supports the amendment. Most Christians now support the BJP. As for the bishop, he has said that we need not support the old parties. That is an indirect way of saying that it's okay to vote for the BJP."

I think Kerala religious demography is 55% Hindus, 25% Muslims and 20% Christians. So comparatively, there is not much called minorities the way we look at other states. The state is a leftist puzzle that is hard to decipher.

Manish ji,
some per$onal l@w b0ard is holding conclaves all over the country.
The slogan of “batenge to katenge” has resonated with quite a few , at least among the middle class. Powerful party’s attack on Shri Ram and his attempt to drive a wedge between Brahmins and others have not found much takers either. Jarange Patil failed to make an impact, much to my surprise.
Uddhav’s embrace of peacefuls has now made him irredeemable. Never thought I would see the day when local masjids would be asking their momins to vote for the Sena candidate. Sad that such a Jaichand would taint Thackrey clan.
Powerful will be 90 by the time next election rolls around. His legacy ends here hopefully.
I am surprised at the amount of concern people have for peacefuls. Even people who would think hindu muslim bhai bhai have realised that the other party is simply uninterested in looking beyond what the local mullah says.
Outstanding results in MH....80+% majority for NDA in this huge state. I hope they use it well over the next 5 years. A key player has been Devendra Farnavis with his organizational skills, plus Modi and Shah getting the RSS back into election efforts.
JH a little disappointing. It looks like the tribal vote has consolidated behind Soren this time. Perhaps the sympathy wave is lingering. Have to analyze the vote margins to see how close the contests were. But again, this pales in relation to the massive victory in MH.
Bypolls: overall NDA did very well, winning more than 60% of the seats in play. A few highlights...
In GJ the BJP picked up several more seats from the INC, and now has a remarkable 90% majority in the assembly.
Same in RJ, BJP picked up a bunch of seats from INDI parties.
In UP, NDA trounced INDI by 7-2 margin, and now commands a 72% majority in the assembly.
Overall, a good ending for the LS/VS elections of 2024.
This will give NDA excellent momentum heading into the parliament session starting Nov 25, and since 2025 is very light on state elections, it will be a year for the central and state goremints to work hard on governance.
There are only two assembly elections in 2025: DL (Feb) and BH (Oct/Nov). In DL, I think it is feasible to unseat AAP with proper planning and messaging, and hopefully a revamp of the DL BJP leadership. AAP can't be allowed to declare endless revdi/freebies - Kejriwal is already back to revdi promises, even though he is no longer the CM.

One interesting point: the “rickshawallah” alone has more seats than INC, NCP and Uddhav combined…
And as I have predicted a few times - the so-called "chaaNakya" has finally been revealed to be "chaaNakam" (Malayalam for gobar). He has brilliantly and cunningly come up with a paltry 10 seats and success rate of 12%...by far the worst performance of any of the 6 main parties in MH.
It will be interesting to see if it will be full-on BJP-led sarkar with Farnavis as CM, or whether it will be a "maratha samrajya" type arrangement with a maratha customarily installed as CM and "peshwa" farnavis running the show.
^^ Hard to follow all the political lingo of rickshawallah, chaaNakam with such fluid political situation.
Ever since supreme leader Modi ji has stopped the jumla of sabka saath sabka vikas things seem to have looking up. However, the schemes that benefited peaceful community have continued unabated and one will come back to bite Bharat.
I have a questions for more attuned experts for MH government. Will it be better than the last time? I remember there were lots of heartburn due to SS shenanigans last time leading to governance issues.

Sorry vimalji. The present MH CM is Eknathji Shinde. He is the head of Shiv Sena (Shinde) group and was an auto rickshaw driver and I believe also the office bearer of rickshaw driver union in Thane. A man who is quite in touch with grass roots unlike Uddhav.
Whether better or not is subjective. On one hand the government is going to be stable with this mandate - it is not dependent on Ajit Pawars shenanigans any more. On the other hand the sops announced such as ladki bahin scheme that gives 2000 to every woman of certain age group is a huge burden on the exchequer - the government has very little room for increasing revenue, so something has to give….
AAP orignially started this era of freebies with free electricity in Delhi, followed it up with similar strategy in Punjab. When cong lost the Punjab and then Karnataka polls were due, they took the leaf out of AAP, and announced 5 free schemes. That brought them back to power. They tried the same with 6 freebies in Telangana and got power for first time there. BJP resisted for a long time, but freebies wins polls. So they started the ladki bahin yojana and ladli beti yojana in MH and MP respectively. At least in MH, they are somewhat ok as they have limited ladki bahin scheme to those with les than Rs 2.5 L PA income. In KA, there is no such restriction and everyone can get all the freebies, with exchequer now facing a huge hole in finances.
Poor definitely need a helping hand, and no arguments there. If there are carefully crafted freebies for those really struggling, it is good. However if BJP also follows AAP and cong with unlimited no-restriction freebies to win elections, it will be disasterous. Hoep it doesn't come to that

If you look carefully modiji's entire election promise was based on freebies sans the usual 90% corruption. Unlike earlier govts Modiji delivers more effective freebies to the masses which turns into votes (except for the peacefuls). Sabka saatha sabka vikas is a call to government doles nothing else. Modi realized that the only way to win in India is not through India shining but India dining on freebies.
^^Poor interpretation. Empowerment schemes and freebie schemes are two different things. Sometimes the lines blur. The criteria are whether the scheme will enable a long term difference in people's life/capabilities, and whether the fiscal/budget implications have been properly addressed.
LANDSLIDE VICTORY LOADING FOR BJP ALLIANCE MAHAYUTI

Major impact of Ladki Bahin Yojana in Maharashtra, Unexpected results EXPECTED
It is foolish of the congis to blame the EVMs instead of gracefully accepting defeat. Their age old EVM narrative is crumbling but they don't seem to be aware of it, or they are wilfully ignoring it, hoping to fool all the people all the time
NO need for explanation, @pappu & his chamchas know they are lying & the people of India also know the congis are lying.
It should now be very obvious to the BIF that circus clowns like khujliwal, prashant Kishore, and dimwit are clearly out of their depth.
Let them have this privilege & satisfaction after every lost election. They suffer from the repeated loss of identity, deranged
denial of reality, and delusions of grandeur ... driven solely by the deeply ingrained sense of entitlement of the eyetaalian mafioso to whom no taint of blame or even accountability can ever be attached
the mandate which the maharashtra ppl wanted in 2019 was trampled over, so this time the ppl ensured that no one can leave and form a govt with the parties which the ppl don't want ......
@Karma is a female Canis lupus familiaris

POV: It’s 2019. NDA has won BIG. Fadnavis to come back as CM.
But right at that moment, Shiv Sena decides to leave. Suddenly, an election won by Fadnavis is a government lost to post-poll politics.
Uddhav Thackeray becomes CM in government with Congress and NCP.
A previously unthinkable alliance.
Had voters on either side even imagined this scenario?
Fast forward to 2024: NDA has won big again.
Fadnavis to come back as CM or deputy CM again.
But Shiv Sena is split in two and so is its partner NCP.
Uddhav Thackeray has lost his own party and so has his guiding light Sharad Pawar.
7/2 in UP to CM @myogiadityanath but more significantly BJP wrested 2 Muslim- dominated seats from @yadavakhilesh’s SP fief for the first time in over 30 years.
Extrapolating the NDA's assembly leads to the LS - they would have won 48-0. Just an interesting data point, as people clearly vote differently in Assembly vs. Lok Sabha (NDA swept Nanded in the Assembly elections, but lost the LS bypoll held simultaneously.)
Which leads me to question ONOE - Yuti would have lost both very badly, if LS and Assembly were held together in May.
