Canada’s Allegation Creates a Dissonance in the Post-G20 Narratives About India  https://thewire.in/diplomacy/india-canada-nijjar-modi  Nirupama Subramanian 21/Sep/2023

"What the Canadian allegation has done is to call out the paradox: abroad, the Modi government wants to be seen as Vishwaguru, a rules-abiding global leader who is a reliable partner of the West, and at home as a take-no-prisoners, tough-talking don, who can ghus ke fix all perceived enemies."  For Delhi, which wants to be seen rubbing shoulders at the high table with the G7 even as it claims the leadership of the “global south”, Canada’s allegation has created a dissonance in the post-G20 narratives about India, its influence and clout, its convening power, and its bridging capabilities. All this because India has worked hard to project itself as a land of 1.5 billion people that is not China.

It is not too well known that at the time, the CSIS wanted R&AW to sign off on a MoU listing do’s and don’ts for foreign intelligence operatives, which the Indian agency refused to do. Over the next few years, R&AW and IB did not post anyone in Canada. A semblance of Indian intelligence presence in Canada was maintained through the Bureau of Security in the Ministry of External Affairs, manned mainly by police officers. These officials are posted to missions abroad to manage the security of the diplomats. In Canada, in a decade crucial for India’s battle to save Punjab, they were tasked with part-time intelligence work too. This continued until matters were resolved in the mid-1990s,

Terry Glavin: After Trudeau alleges murder plot, Canada-India relations may be irreparable https://nationalpost.com/opinion/terry-glavin-after-trudeau-alleges-murder-plot-canada-india-relations-may-be-irreparable  Who are these 'credible allegations' coming from? Sep 19, 2023 In the column, in which he lights into Trudeau for “irreparably” damaging ties with India and handing Beijing a victory, Glavin suggests that the BJP was in touch with Ripudaman Malik, one of three main accused in the Kanishka bombing case.   in the background is what became largely a covert operation, a backchannel reconciliation effort between Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party and veteran Canadian Khalistanis who were growing weary of agitating for a separate Sikh state in India that India’s Sikhs want nothing to do with... but the Trudeau government bowed to a Khalistani-influenced group of gurudwara leaders and “obstructed the peace dialogue ..process,”

According to the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, Muslim girls face the temptation of apostasy because of the coeducation system, while claiming that it opposes coeducation and opposes women's education https://www.outlookindia.com/national/against-co-education-not-women-s-education-jamiat-ulema-e-hind-news-252228

Comment in WA by VC: 

What is the 'temptation of apostasy', according to them?

Just asking out of curiosity, while wondering whether only the women in coed institutions face this potentially dread fate, and no other genders?

What Can Cause Apostasy in the Church?

Causes of apostasy: persecution (Matthew 24:9-10); false teachers (Matthew 24:11); temptation (Luke 8:13); worldliness (2 Timothy 4:4); defective knowledge of Christ (1 John 2:19); moral lapse (Hebrews 6:4-6); forsaking worship and spiritual living (Hebrews 10:25-31); unbelief (Hebrews 3:12). - https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-terms/what-is-apostasy.html In the current context - The one question that I was asked by a padre in college to test apostasy was "do you pray?" Today the fear is not so much you relationship with God, but with the "organised religion". and in this case the fear that inside a co-ed school organised religion gets trumped by basic instincts of young girls. Whereas the entire campaign of name calling, boycott, and now citizenship is the cause for "apostasy". This was a speech by this guy in Jan 2023. I wonder what his thrust was yesterday.

The same article said.. "In August 2021, the Jamiat advocated setting up separate schools and colleges for women and girls and said non-Muslims should also refrain from opting for the co-education system for their daughters to "keep them away from immorality and misbehaviour".
 
At Sunday's meeting, an appeal was also made to all secular-minded people to unite and fight against the extremist and fascist forces at the political and social levels, instead of reacting emotionally. It called on people to make every effort to spread brotherhood, harmony, mutual tolerance, and justice in the country.

Dialogue: Kejriwal’s Ambition, Anna’s Betrayal https://hwnews.in/dialogue/dialogue-kejriwals-ambition-annas-betrayal/ by Sujit Nair July 1, 2023

Anna Hazare made demi-god by his team, says ex-blogger https://www.indiatoday.in/india/north/story/anna-hazare-demi-god-by-his-team-former-blogger-145545-2011-11-11
 Nov 12, 2011  the Gandhian's former blogger Raju Parulekar alleged that Team Anna members Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi, Prashant Bhushan and Manish Sisodia had "free reigns" and had free run in media by becoming "experts" on various subjects which gave them also the "stature of being virtuous and demi-gods". He sought answers from Hazare as to who "pressurised" him not to show the door to Bhushan from the Core team for his controversial comments on plebiscite in Kashmir, saying who will understand the legal loopholes in the bill and whether he was aware of the financial transactions of Kejriwal and Sisodia and their "ambitions".

On the controversial letter by Hazare on restructuring Team Anna which was made public by him, Parulekar said Hazare has cast aspersions on his honesty and integrity but he felt that it was not the Gandhian's words but those of somebody else, "dangerous, wicked, self-centered and in real-sense enemy of the people of country called India." "I have shown Annaji's handwritten and signed letter for re-structuring ?Team Anna? to the trio. They were shaken but remained arrogant. Kejriwal said, ?we ?Team Anna? have decided in Kosambi that the ?team? will remain so hence the letter is insignificant.? He went on to claim that to re-structure ?Team Anna? will harm Janlokpal issue. Annaji wrote on a piece of paper, ?how come re-structuring and Janlokpal bill issue is contradictory?? Annaji?s reaction was all the more explosive," he said.
