Prime Time With Ravish Kumar | क्या ज़ुल्म के ख़िलाफ़ बोलना देशभक्ति नहीं? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-YfvNgyqpY Nov 22, 2022 : इन दिनों क़तर (Qatar) में फुटबॉल का विश्व कप चल रहा है. ईरान की टीम के खिलाड़ियों ने कुछ ऐसा किया है, जिससे हम देशभक्ति के पहलुओं को समझ सकते हैं. देशभक्ति एकतरफा नहीं होती है कि आप जिस देश में पैदा होते हैं, जिसके नागरिक हैं, उसे हर हाल में प्यार ही करते रहेंगे, हर हाल का मतलब आप पर या आपके नागरिकों पर ज़ुल्म होता रहे और आप प्यार करने का नाटक करते रहेंगे. उस ज़ुल्म के ख़िलाफ़ बोलना भी देशभक्ति है.

A 22-year-old Iranian woman named Mahsa Amini was beaten to death by the ‘Morality Police’ in Iran for wearing hijab improperly. Iranian media reported that Amini died in hospital after suffering a heart attack after she was arrested for her improper hijab but her death ignited a series of protests that the Iranian regime is struggling to control.
Since Mahsa Amini’s death, protests have been raging across Iran with women showing up in public without a hijab and challenging the Iranian regime.

Cricket Nationalism: Reinventing a tougher ‘Tebbit Test’? https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/sarkari-thoughts/cricket-nationalism-reinventing-a-tougher-tebbit-test/ November 24, 2021,Dr. Subhradipta Sarkar On the fateful day of October 24, 2021, Pakistan defeated India in the ICC T20 World Cup – the first and only time in the history of the ICC World Cups. Social media exploded with emotions. It appeared that Pakistan had won a war against India! There were sporadic celebrations cheering Pakistan’s victory. That was enough for the Indian State to come down heavily on the ‘Pakistani supporters’ – charging them under various criminal law provisions including causing public mischief, disturbing public peace, promoting enmity among groups, sedition, and terrorism. Students were suspended from colleges and teachers were dismissed from services. So much so that three Kashmiri medical students in Agra struggled to find legal representation in the court of law for their ‘anti-national’ act. Predictably, all the accused are Muslims.
