  • p.14: Turning to India, the other "beneficiary" of the Aryan model of history and the Oriental Renaissance—where a similar imbrication of "science" and politics acted as a powerful catalytic agent in the formation of a nationalist consciousness, particularly in enabling the colonized to articulate claims for equality and parity with the colonizers—the essay concludes by exploring how this model, via the notion of an autochtonous Aryan-Hindu culture overlaid and corrupted by an invading Islam, contributed to the growth of a right-wing exclusve Hindu nationalism to this day.

At any rate, she was often associated with shakti in the collective Indian imagination. Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, then a Jana Sangh leader, compared her to Durga when she declared war on Pakistan in 1971 and led India to victory.

  • called a regional radical outfit
  • The DGP, however, said Amit Jani alias Amit Agrawal, son of Lakhi Chand, resident of 331, Shiv Shakti Nagar, Brahmapuri in Meerut has criminal antecedents.
  • The vandals, masquerading as photographers struck at around 1 p.m. and sped away on motorbikes even before the personnel of the special security force — set up by Ms. Mayawati in her last regime to guard the BSP monuments — could react to the incident.
  • In 2011,he formed the UP Navnirman Sena,purportedly to counter the anti-north Indian campaign by the Shiv Sena in Maharashtra. He has a website,www.amitjani.in,where the SP election symbol,cycle,is prominently displayed.
  • Although Samajwadi Party spokesperson Rajendra Choudhary said he knew nothing about Amit Jani,president of the little-known Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena that vandalised BSP president Mayawati’s statue today,he is a member of the ruling party,and his Facebook account has his photos with SP president Mulayam Singh,PWD Minister Shivpal Yadav and other SP leaders.
  • Also, he has seven criminal cases registered against him in Meerut,Jyotiba Phule Nagar (JP Nagar) and Dehradun on charges including theft, dacoity, robbery and attempt to murder.
  • Sources said Jani was once associated with the Indian National Lok Dal of Om Prakash Chautala. Later, he came close to SP MLC SP MLC from Meerut Sarojini Agarwal and became part of SP in 2010.
  • The police found two rucksacks, one hammer, and some handbills of UP Navnirman Sena from the spot. The handbill said the SP had promised to destroy Mayawati's statues but was not doing so now.
  • The prime accused in the Mayawati statue vandalisation case, Amit Jani and two of his accomplices, Rajendra Singh alias Ferrari and Qasim Ali have been remanded in 14-day judicial custody by a trial court here on Saturday.
  • Mr. Jani told reporters that he had no regrets for the incident.
  • UPNS on December 28 had said that they will not let a temple dedicated to Godse be constructed in the district.
  • The ‘Jansamvad’ rally, organised by the Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena at Rohat, was attended by those of 20 villages in Meerut district.
  • The controversy over the Hindu Mahasabha’s plan to build a temple for Nathuram Godse, the assassin of Mahatma Gandhi, took a new turn on Sunday when thousands of villagers resolved at a rally here that they would not allow the temple to come up.
  • The Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena today said it would oppose the bail plea of Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha leader Kamlesh Tiwari, arrested for his alleged derogatory remarks against the Muslim community.
  • Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha leader Tiwari was arrested in Lucknow on December 2, two days after he made the alleged derogatory remarks against the Muslim community which led to massive protests here and various other regions of the country.
  • Jani said his outfit does not differentiate between people like AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and Tiwari, claiming that both of them are trying to divide the society by speaking against each other's religion.
  • This is the story of Amit Jani, a young Samajwadi Party leader, who shot to infamy in July 2012 when he vandalised Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati’s statue in Lucknow and brazenly took responsibility for the act.
  • Mr Jani, who also claimed to head the Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena, was back in the news recently when he dared the Owaisi brothers to enter Uttar Pradesh.
  • However, he sent shockwaves last week when he was seen celebrating the 60th birthday of Ms Mayawati in Muzaffarnagar with a cake and songs and dance.
  • Jani, who is getting ready for the by-elections from Muzaffarnagar Sadar seat, said that he would not allow communal forces to form government in the state.
  • "I am still against building statues of political leaders. But I respect Mayawati on a personal level," he said.
  • Amit Jani,who was in the news after damaging Mayawati’s statue,too arrived for the meeting,but was not allowed entry in the party office. His supporters,who wore red caps,paraded a donkey and raised slogans against Mayawati.
  • Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena chief Amit Jani on Monday claimed he received threats from a person "associated with Hurriyat Conference" for speaking against JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar.
  • he had earlier warned JNU Students' Union president Kanhaiya to leave Delhi by March 31 and also planned to hold a 'mahapanchayat' at Jantar Mantar on March 27.
  • "During my Delhi trip on Saturday and Sunday, a person, who said he was speaking from Dubai and is associated with Hurriyat Conference, called me and said I'd be bombed if I did anything against Kanhaiya on March 27 or any other day," he said.

Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016

edit
  • However, defending the amendments, a senior Minister told The Hindu, “The principle is victimhood. How can a Muslim claim he has been victimised in these countries?” But what if a Muslim is victimised? The answer is, “He can always seek asylum in India.”
  • A senior Home Ministry official said it planned to replace the term “religious minorities” with “discriminated religious minorities” after parliamentarians criticised the plan to allow all religious communities into India, except Muslims.
  • Muslim sects like Shias and Ahmediyas also face persecution in Sunni-dominated Pakistan but the Act doesn’t have provision for them.

  • p.86: After all this, the standard story-line is simple: India’s generous gift spread to all corners of the world. Arab mathematicians picked up numerals from India and transmitted them to Europe. Buddhist monks from India took the Hindu numerals, complete with place-value and the symbol for zero, with them to China. Because the decimal numerals with a zero were so much more convenient than any other numeral system for actually manipulating numbers, the entire world discarded their old numbers and adopted the Hindu-Arabic numerals. Thanks to us, the world learned how to count.
