It’s not conversion. It’s ghar vapsi or a return to home. The RSS plans a mega event on December 25 in Aligarh where they claim some 15,000 people will “return” to the folds of Hinduism.
The very term “ghar vapsi” makes the idea of “conversion” fuzzy because it can be presented as returning to some kind of original state rather than a conversion to a different religion. It helps to separate – however expediently - ‘reconversion’ from the proselytizing of a missionary faith trying to increase its flock and presenting its religion as the Chosen One.
Indian film actor Kamaal R Khan has made the nation crazy with his out of the box opinions on the famous microblogging website Twitter. The 39 year old star is famous on Twitter, among Indian social media users, for his grim humor and interesting interaction with popular Bollywood actors.
The Ek Villain fame actor has been a part of many controversies, due to his social media posts, that set the entire cyber space ablaze. But, he did not let his enthusiasm levels go down and continues to rule the Twitter space with his epic Tweets.
Undettered by the backlash it is facing in Parliament, the Dharam Jagran Samiti, an offshoot of the RSS, is marching ahead to meet its target of 'converting' one lakh Muslims and one lakh Christians in a year.
To achieve this, the organisation is seeking massive funding from their well-wishers as the rate for conversion, according to this report, ranges from Rs 2 lakh for a Christian individual and Rs 5 lakh for a Muslim.
The 2014 Forbes India Celebrity 100 ranking in its third year has found a new leader. For the first time in its three-year run, Shah Rukh Khan has been unseated from the top slot by friend and peer Salman Khan. Reason: The star didn’t have a film release (barring a cameo) in the period considered for this list (October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2014). Consequently, he finds himself at No 3.
Salman Khan, meanwhile, has topped the charts, both in terms of revenues and fame – a first for a Forbes India celebrity list topper. Clearly, though controversy and court cases continue to dog the actor, his clout has only grown with his box office hits, TV appearances and his charitable trust Being Human.
...or rather does it really help a marriage? It's largely dependent on the mindset of the couple who are seeking help, say experts
Once upon a time marriage was a 'forever' commitment. Today, however, it's a completely different story with some marriages being as short lived as just a few days or months. Divorce is no longer an alien or feared word among couples. In fact, with the current escalating divorce rate, marriage and relationship counsellors are a busy lot, some often working overtime.
Firm union of the husband and wife is a necessary condition for a happy family life. Islam therefore, insists upon the subsistence of a marriage and prescribes that breach of marriage contract should be avoided.
Initially no marriage is contracted to be dissolved but in unfortunate circumstances the matrimonial contract is broken. One of the ways of such dissolution is by way of divorce . Under Muslim law the divorce may take place by the act of the parties themselves or by a decree of the court of law. However in whatever manner the divorce is effected it has not been regarded as a rule of life. In Islam, divorce is considered as an exception to the status of marriage. The Prophet declared that among the things which have been permitted by law, divorce is the worst.
It is a unique post office, and one of its main tasks is to deliver letters to God.
Located near the famed Hindu temple at the Sabarimala hills, the post office may perhaps be the only one in the country which doesn't work round the year. It comes alive when the peak pilgrimage season of the Ayyappa shrine begins on the first day of the Malayalam month in November, and the period ends towards the middle of January.
The post office is also open for 10 days during the Vishu season.
