Standup comedian Munawar Faruqui, who was at the focal point of a significant debate in mid-2021 over his arrest during a show in Indore, has now been cautioned by the netizens over his impending visit in Mumbai after Saffron Think Tank, a Hindu Organization raised their voice and demanded cancellation of his Mumbai Shows.

Saffron Think Tank has made an appeal to stop Munawar Faruqui from performing the Talk Show which will enrage and hurt Hindu’s religious sentiments causing disruption in public peace.

When asked about who they are and what are their demands, Saffron Think Tank said “We are an organization named Saffron Think Tank, which is founded to demand Uniform Civil Code under One Nation One Law. We are writing to inform to you that Mr. Munawar Faruqui, a self-proclaimed comedian from Gujarat and an accused in an ongoing criminal case lodged in for his offensive speech against Hindu deities is visiting Mumbai on 29th and 30th of October for performing his Talk Show titled ‘Dongri to Nowhere’ (a name inspired from most wanted criminal Dawood Ibrahim’s biography Dongri to Dubai).

Munawar Faruqui’s recent tweet has also raised a lot of eyebrows, where he says “Dear Farmers, Indian Media ka attention chahiye toh Wheat nahi Weed ugaao!” In this he is asking farmers to grow weed (cannabis). Link attached below for reference.

Munawar Faruqui’s ongoing Criminal Case:

Munawar Faruqui had performed on 1st January 2021 in Indore (M.P). His show was immediately interrupted for having made an offensive statement and thereafter he was arrested by Madhya Pradesh Police during his talk show. He has been booked on charges under i) Section 295-A (Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs), Section 298 (Uttering words, etc with deliberate intent to wound the religious feelings of any person), Section 269 (Negligent act likely to spread infection of disease dangerous to life), Section 188 (Disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) and Section-34 of the Indian Penal Code.  

His bail was rejected by the concerned Magistrate and Sessions Court on the grounds of safeguarding public law and order. On appeal to Madhya Pradesh High court, his bail application was rejected because Uttar Pradesh Police had lodged a similar offense in Prayagraj against Farooqui. 

“Mr. Faruqui is presently released on bail. However, he is not acquitted of the charges. When there is an ongoing case against him for committing a crime of hateful speech against Hindu gods, we do not surmise that an opportunity to commit more crimes by Mr. Faruqui should be allowed” says Siddhant Mohite, Founder of Saffron Think Tank. 

Mr. Siddhant Mohite added, “Every citizen in India has specific fundamental duties and that the states must ensure peace and harmony amongst all religious groups by protecting them from negative forces. We have informed the Chief Minister, Governor, Home Minister of Maharashtra along with Mumbai Police Commissioner and all government authorities in a written complaint that this Talk Show ‘Dongri to Nowhere’ is planned propaganda to mock Hindu gods and goddesses as evident in previous programs of Munawar Faruqui. It is a serious matter of hate speech and hurting the religious sentiments of Hindus. Mr. Faruqui whilst not having any knowledge about the Hindu scriptures or Hindu dharma, is influencing a negative and offensive view of the most respected Hindu dharma, without any basis. There is enough proof and evidence of hurting religious sentiments by the lead of the show Munawar Faruqui. We have provided a compendium of all the offensive statements made by Munawar Faruqui in the garb of a ‘comic act’ in the link below” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfocyLQftgg

The transcript of his statements is provided below:

Faruqui says, “The song- ‘Mera piya ghar aaya, ohh Ram ji’, Ram ji doesn’t give a f*ck about your piya. Ram ji is like I’m myself not been to home in the last 14 years.” Faruqui quotes another popular Bollywood song- “Ek do teen…tera” starring Madhuri Dixit from the blockbuster movie-Tezaab to allege that Sita is suspicious of Madhuri having a soft corner for Lord Rama.

When we spoke to a few Hindu Organisations, they said “In light of the seriousness of matter we will cancel the Talk Show ‘Dongri to Nowhere’ and restrict such self-proclaimed comedians from insulting and hurting religious sentiments of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. 

Siddhant Mohite, Founder of Saffron Think Tank said “We hope to see a definitive positive step being taken by the Police Department in ensuring the protection of civil rights of people for the avoidance of any form of disruption of the public peace as a result of the Talk Show. Last month, his Gujarat Shows were cancelled too. It’s time for Mumbaikars to come forward now!”

The Hijab Controversy in Mumbai: A Deeper Dive

1134219 1 0208 Indian students hijab standard

The hijab controversy that unfolded at NG Acharya & DK Marathe College in Mumbai is a microcosm of a larger socio-political debate in India about religious freedom, women’s rights, and secularism in public spaces.

The Core Issue
At its heart, the dispute centered on the right of Muslim students to wear religious attire in a public educational institution. The college’s imposition of a uniform code, which prohibited hijabs, was seen by many as an infringement on the students’ religious freedom. The students, in turn, argued that the hijab was an essential part of their religious identity and should be accommodated.

Legal and Constitutional Implications
The case raises complex legal and constitutional questions about the balance between religious freedom and institutional regulations. Article 25 of the Indian Constitution guarantees the freedom to practice religion, while Article 14 ensures equality before the law. The question of whether a mandatory uniform policy infringes upon these rights became a central point of contention.

Wider Societal Impact
The hijab controversy ignited intense public discourse, with opinions sharply divided along religious and ideological lines. It highlighted the growing polarization in Indian society and the challenges of accommodating diverse religious and cultural practices within a secular framework. The case also brought attention to the experiences of Muslim women in India, their rights, and the challenges they face in balancing personal identity with societal expectations.

Aftermath and Implications
The Supreme Court’s stay on the hijab ban provided temporary relief to the affected students. However, the underlying issues remain unresolved. The case has set a precedent for similar disputes that may arise in other educational institutions. It has also underscored the need for a nuanced and balanced approach to addressing religious and cultural diversity in public spaces.

On August 15, 2024, Bharat marks its 78th Independence Day, a day of national pride and reflection on the country’s journey from colonial rule to a vision of a developed nation by 2047. This year’s theme, Viksit Bharat or Developed Bharat, symbolizes the government’s commitment to transforming Bharat into a developed nation by the time the country celebrates its 100th year of independence. Across the country, citizens will celebrate with flag hoisting, parades, and cultural events, honoring the spirit of freedom and the progress made since 1947.

Independence Day commemorates Bharat’s freedom from over 200 years of British rule, achieved on August 15, 1947. The struggle for independence, which began with the Revolt of 1857 and gained momentum under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi in the 1920s, culminated in the Indian Independence Bill being introduced in the British House of Commons on July 4, 1947, leading to Bharat becoming an independent nation.

As we celebrate this significant day, it is a moment to honor the sacrifices of our freedom fighters and renew our commitment to their vision for Bharat. Happy Independence Day to all, and may we continue to strive for a prosperous and developed nation. Jai Hind!

Environmental Damage at Silver Beach Marve: Subhash Constructions Facing Backlash

Published

Siddhant Mohite, Mumbai Uncensored:

A company named Subhash Constructions is responsible for the degradation of Silver Beach, Marve. Despite existing regulations aimed at safeguarding coastal ecosystems, this company has blatantly disregarded environmental norms, upsetting the delicate balance of nature.

81

Among the most concerning outcomes of this unchecked development is the unauthorized creation of a slope on the beach. This alteration of the natural landscape not only disrupts the beach’s aesthetic appeal but also poses considerable ecological risks. Additionally, reports of dead snakes found along the shoreline serve as a poignant reminder of the adverse impact of human intervention on local wildlife.

91

Local Citizens are demanding an FIR against the contractor and their associates for conducting work of a government contract in an unethical manner by making a ramp by using stones and soil instead of using metal sheets for machinery movement. Dumping of huge rocks and soil on the beach has also risked the environment, and this whole project will also cause sand erosion, a local source said.

71

Environmentalists have taken strong objections against the construction of a wall at Marve beach in suburban Mumbai, as they said that “This will further destroy the sandy beach, besides wasting taxpayers’ money to build a wall. Its actually foolish to construct such walls on beaches instead of coming up with eco-sustainable solutions.”

The situation at Silver Beach Marwe underscores the pressing need for stricter enforcement of environmental regulations and increased accountability from construction companies. Subhash Construction, in particular, must be held accountable for its role in the degradation of this coastal ecosystem.

Furthermore, the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority’s mandate against permanent constructions on beaches must be enforced without compromise. Failure to do so not only compromises the integrity of Silver Beach Marve but also establishes a hazardous precedent for coastal development projects throughout the region.

As concerned citizens, it is our collective responsibility to raise awareness about the environmental challenges facing Silver Beach Marve and advocate for sustainable solutions. Specifically, the dumping of stones on the seacoast and the absence of a required board of the ongoing tender on the beach must be addressed. Moreover, companies found violating environmental regulations, like Subhash Construction, should be blacklisted as government contractors. The explicit directive from the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority prohibiting permanent constructions on the beach must be emphasized and upheld.

Only through concerted action can we hope to preserve the natural beauty of our coastal heritage for the enjoyment of future generations.
