Yogi Adityanath Names his Next Target to End Mafia Rule in Uttar Pradesh _ Sanjay Dixit

On April 15, alleged mafia-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother, Ashraf were killed while in police custody and in the presence of media persons. The police allege that three assailants shot them at close range. The entire incident took place on live television. Despite questions being raised on this custodial killing, there also appears to be public approval. Such “encounter” killings of alleged rapists or alleged gangsters are often celebrated by the public. In fact, Ahmed's son, Asad was killed in a so-called police encounter just a few days before the incident after which Uttar Pradesh's chief minister praised the police team. But what does this visible public acceptance of encounter killings tell us?  Sneha Richhariya speaks to Prakash Singh, ex-IPS Officer, who has also served as Director general of Police, Uttar Pradesh. He has also served in Assam and Border Security Force. Singh filed a public interest litigation in the Supreme Court seeking police reforms, in which a landmark verdict was delivered.

The usual suspects Owaisi, Arfa, Rana amongst others are on an outrage after encounter in Uttar Pradesh and they have asked if any Hindus will be encountered? Understandably so, because it is indeed a burnol moment for these rabid Islamists who have nothing but hatred against Hindus and will even support atrocious gangster/Don Atiq Ahmed, after all its all about Ummah.

Betel Leaf or “Paan” has been seen across all streets in contemporary India. Paan consumption has continued to be a post-meal ritual for several centuries. Mahoba in Uttar Pradesh is known for cultivating a unique variety of pan called “Desawari”. But extreme weather conditions induced by climate change and rising input costs are making betel cultivation unviable in Mahoba.In this episode, Sneha Richhariya travels to Mahoba, a city in Uttar Pradesh, known for Desi Pan cultivation, to know why the city which once had a flourishing trade of pan, is now struggling to keep the paan legacy alive. In 2021, Mahoba's Desawari pan variety was awarded a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, but farmers now fear its extinction. Why?

Age of Vice is the blockbuster new novel by the author Deepti Kapoor. It's a love story, wrapped inside a tale of capitalism run amok, wrapped inside a violent story of gangland politics. In nearly 600 pages, it transports readers from the badlands of eastern Uttar Pradesh to the five-star hotels and fabulous bungalows of New Delhi. To call this book a sensation would be the understatement of the year. Readers have snapped up copies, book editors have issued glowing reviews, and a television series is already in the works. Deepti Kapoor grew up in north India and worked for several years as a journalist in New Delhi. She's the author of a previous novel, A Bad Character, published in 2015. To talk more about Age of Vice and the inspiration behind it, Deepti joins Milan on the podcast this week. They discuss Deepti's journey from Delhi reporter to novelist, the research she conducted for the book, and the cynicism embedded in Indian politics. Plus, the two discuss the book's adaptation for the screen and the planned trilogy of books that is in the works. Ron Charles, “Deepti Kapoor's thriller ‘Age of Vice' starts 2023 with a bang,” Washington Post, December 29, 2022.Milan Vaishnav, When Crime Pays: Money and Muscle in Indian Politics (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2017).Josy Joseph, A Feast of Vultures: The Hidden Business of Democracy in India (New Delhi: HarperCollins India, 2016). Deepti Kapoor, “Driving in Greater Noida,” Granta, February 23, 2015.

It's Thursday, February 16th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Indian pastor remain in jail A pastor in northern India remains in jail three months after winning bail. Hindu extremists filed new false charges against him to keep him in prison. Last Tuesday, Pastor Vijay Masih spent his 100th day in jail. Masih leads an Evangelical Church of India congregation in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Under the state's anti-conversion laws, the pastor and nearly 50 other Christians in the area were arrested last April. Masih's wife, Preeti, told Morning Star News, “Police did not ask us anything. They have only heard one-sided complaints from the opposition party, and under pressure from them they have carried out arrests.”  Turkey earthquake death toll 41,000 The death toll from last Monday's 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Turkey and Syria has risen to over 41,000. Tens of thousands of people are still missing. Christian aid groups are on the ground helping with the relief effort. Samaritan's Purse deployed a 52-bed mobile medical facility to Antakya, historically known as Antioch, the area where believers were first called Christians, according to Acts 11:26. Among other services, the hospital will include two emergency operating rooms and a pharmacy. Following a February 9 airlift from Atlanta, their team quickly began raising the field hospital on property surrounding the 1,100-bed Hatay State Hospital, which was irreparably crippled and made unsafe by the earthquakes. The Samaritan's Purse team is urgently building on the open space of the adjoining parking area and preparing to receive patients at the mobile medical facility later this week. The loss of the region's key healthcare facility further compounds the desperation felt by communities who've experienced unimaginable loss, grief, and the destruction of all they had. Melanie Wubs, Medical Response Coordinator with Samaritan's Purse, asked for prayer as they meet the needs in Turkey. WUBS: “My name is Melanie Wubs, Medical Response Coordinator with Samaritan's Purse. I'm here in southeast Turkey where the effects of the earthquake this week have been devastating. Samaritan's Purse has been working with a partner here. “We've been requested by the Ministry of Health to set up an emergency field hospital in this spot where this 1,000-bed facility behind me has suffered severe infrastructure damage and is not functional. We ask for your prayers for the people here in Turkey and also for our team as we move quickly to meet the needs.” To make a donation to help Samaritan's Purse pay for the field hospital, the medical supplies, and the transportation to Turkey of the 75-member team, click on a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Polling on Christian nationalism The Public Religion Research Institute released a new survey on Americans' views of Christian nationalism. The study measured Christian nationalism by the degree of support for statements like “The U.S. government should declare America a Christian nation,” or “U.S. laws should be based on Christian values.” Ten percent of Americans agreed almost entirely with such statements; 19% agreed but not strongly; 39% disagreed; and 29% strongly disagreed. Evangelical Protestants were the most likely to agree with Christian nationalism, while Roman Catholics and mainline Protestants were among the least likely to agree. Psalm 33:12 says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom He has chosen as His heritage!” British church leaders reporting fellow Christians for anti-“gay” stand Church leaders in England are now reporting Christians to the police for opposing sexually perverted lifestyles. Last year, Christopher Cocksworth, a bishop in the Church of England, reported “offending” tweets made by Sam Margrave to authorities.  Margrave is an elected member of the Church of England's General Synod.  He won his election on a platform of standing for Biblical truth on life, death, sex, and marriage.  Police did open an investigation into Margrave, but have since closed the case.   He told The Daily Signal recently that church leaders are still trying to silence him: “There's a vocal minority that control the church and are using its resources to bully me into silence.” California fires teacher over her objection to fake pronouns Last month, a school district in California dismissed a Christian teacher who took issue with the school's gender policies. Jessica Tapia was a physical education teacher at the Jurupa Unified School District. She refused to allow biological males in girl's locker rooms. She also disagreed with the district's policy to not tell parents if their children wanted to pretend to be the opposite sex.  Tapia told Fox News she chose her faith over her job. TAPIA: “It was crazy to be in the position where I realized that I couldn't be a Christian and a teacher -- is what that felt like.” Matthew 6:24 says, “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” House Judiciary subpoenaed Big Tech executives Yesterday, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed chief executives of big tech companies. The companies include Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft.  Republican Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio chairs the committee. GOP House members are concerned the companies are suppressing the free speech of conservatives. Jordan's office said in a statement: “These subpoenas are the first step in holding Big Tech accountable.” South Carolina's Abolish Abortion February 25th rally And finally, the pro-life group Abolish Abortion South Carolina is announcing a rally at the state's capital of Columbia next week.  It will be held at the South Carolina Statehouse on Saturday, February 25 at 11:00 am. Speakers will include Republican Representative Rob Harris and Pastor Jeff Durbin. Love Life Ministries will lead a prayer-walk afterward. Harris has pre-filed a bill called the South Carolina Prenatal Equal Protection Act of 2023. The bill would protect all people, including unborn babies, beginning at conception, under the state's homicide laws.

Dans cet épisode Andréa Brusque vous fait découvrir une femme à la destinée extraordinaire.

Des souffrances abominables de son enfance, à son statut de reine des bandits, découvrez sa True Story. Une figure féminine saisissante Été 1980, Uttar Pradesh, Nord de l'Inde. La rivière sacrée du Gange scintille sous les derniers rayons du soleil. Les pêcheuses rentrent sans échanger un mot. Soudain, des bruits de moteur se font entendre au loin. Et moins d'une minute plus tard, dans un grand nuage de fumée, trois camionnettes se garent brusquement sur la place principale. L'instant d'après, une dernière silhouette émerge de l'un des véhicules. Ses bottes épaisses s'écrasent dans la poussière. C'est une femme, mais comme personne autour n'en a jamais vue. Sa bouche est crispée dans un rictus terrifiant. Ses petits yeux sombres sont plissés comme deux lames de rasoir. Aujourd'hui, justice sera faite. Mais sa justice, à elle, ne fait pas de prisonniers.  Pour découvrir d'autres récits passionnants, cliquez ci-dessous : Apollo 13, la mission spatiale américaine qui a failli tourner à la catastrophe Elon Musk, l'homme d'affaires de génie qui a fait de ses rêves une réalité Le diamant bleu de la couronne, le plus célèbre des joyaux maudits Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture : Elie Olivennes Voix : Andréa Brusque Production : Bababam (montage Célia Brondeau, Antoine Berry Roger) Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we focus the use of religious myths, icons and deities in Hindu nationalist politics in India. More specifically, we discuss the political invocation of Lord Parshuram, a deity in the Hindu pantheon who has, in recent years, become more visible as a mobilizing political symbol for the Hindu nationalist movement. But who is Lord Parshuram? Why has he now become politically salient? And what does his politicization tell us about Hindu nationalist politics in India today? We look for answers to these questions in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Goa, where Lord Parshuram has recently been a focal point for political contestation and conflict along caste and religious lines.
