PLURAL LAWS FOR PLURAL SOCIETYOn the question of Common Civil Code (CCC),one feels that the judiciary has not created a conducive atmosphere for its enactment. Rather it continues to give a gratuitous suggestion about its necessity. It is this attitude which has made the minorities, particularly Muslims and Christians worry.In a plural society like India only plural laws can give a strong feeling of nationality. Ours is a country of people belonging to different faiths and cultures and of course they must have the laws of their respective choice....

Posted on 08:18 by vikash gupta

Gujral's remark that he has never consulted any palmist or astrologer so far (The Hindu, Jan. 4) must have brought some cheer to the people, often informed of the superstitious beliefs and practices of our Ministers and politicians by the press, television and radio. If the rulers and political leaders of our country are wise, we can find solutions to many of the ills of our society.The press would do well to publish more and more reports of this sort to create a scientific temper among the people,...

Muslims, Tamil Literature and Islam
Posted on 01:39 by vikash gupta
Muslims, Tamil Literature and IslamI read with interest the article "Indian Muslims: Colouring of Local Culture" by Mr. F.A.A. Rahmancy in the February 23 - March 1 issue of One Nation Chronicle. His attempt to bring the similarities of Hindus and Muslims in literature, music, customs, and habits etc. into focus is , of course, laudable. But I feel that certain remarks like Mughal kings had court dancers (many of them were Muslims) and they performed Indian dances, are like saying that we can see people of different religious groups drinking and...
