It is time for a new social contract | Opinion
There were no joyous celebrations in the ranks of those who had made the construction of a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya their life's foremost mission. Nor was there a mood of absolute dejection among those who felt terribly let down. The restraint may have been occasioned by the decision of the Narendra Modi government and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), not to mention the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, to downplay its achievement. Perhaps the real celebrations will take place the day the mandir is finally built and opened for worship. There was some heartburn in the ranks of the secular intelligentsia that had resolutely opposed the Ayodhya movement and done its utmost to impede the movement politically and in the courts. However, apart from the decision of a section of the Muslim community to file a review petition — which can, at best, delay the inevitable — the proclamation of a funeral service for Indian secularism evoked very little response. People digested the verdict, expressed their happiness or scepticism in private, and then moved on with their lives. So placid was the response that a casual observer would, indeed, have been mystified that this was the dispute that had turned India upside down. Maybe the reactions — both celebratory and angry — have merely been bottled up and need a small trigger to explode. However, if the muted public reaction stands the test of time, it would suggest that the end of the Ayodhya dispute could be the signal for moving beyond the communal-secular schism. The tendency in India very often is to let things quietly evolve in the hope that society — like the market in economic thinking — will somehow manage to achieve a prudent balance. Society, however, does not operate in a vacuum. Despite its understated nature and away from the glare of shrieking TV channels, there are silent interventions that will shape the course of the future. First, it is quite clear that the Supreme Court verdict has met the demand for the construction of a Ram temple on the site of a pre-existing temple. In the context of the gradual evolution of a distinctive 'Hindu' vote bank beginning from the election of 1991 and culminating in the absolute majority for the BJP in 2014 and 2019, the Ayodhya verdict could be — and has been — interpreted as a triumph of Hindu nationhood. The process may well get another fillip if the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill is passed in Parliament. There have been some regressive facets of this shifting nature of the Indian 'self' in the political domain. The most striking of this is the unfortunate incidents of lynchings over beef and the intolerance of intercommunity marriages. These have bred a sense of insecurity among the Muslim minority. Second, while the Muslim community has, by and large, accepted the Ayodhya verdict with equanimity, there is concern over lynchings and the erosion of Muslim representation in the political sphere. The more farsighted Muslim leadership has recognised that some of the Hindu reaction is a consequence of the impression that secularism was used as a fig leaf to impose a Muslim veto. In addition, the rise of Islamic terrorism all over the world has disoriented Muslim communities and resulted in the radicalisation of a small section of its youth. The net consequence of all these developments is that a mood of nervous sullenness has overtaken the community. While there is now a discernible middle class in the Muslim community, its strategic influence in the community is still tenuous. Indian Muslims, as a whole, are still excessively influenced by a religious orthodoxy that remain suspicious of modernity. Along with ghettoisation, India's Muslims seem insufficiently integrated into the mainstream. Religious distinctiveness has also resulted in social and political distinctiveness. The gulf between the Hindus and Muslims has, it would seem, increased over the past few decades. Communal amity isn't only measured in terms of sectarian clashes. There are other indicators that cannot be measured statistically, but emerge from anecdotal evidence and social perceptions. This is unfortunate. While Indian development will always be stymied and distorted if the majority community is out of sync with the prevailing ethos of the governing elite, the same will be the case if the largest minority feels distanced from the aspirations of the majority. The problem cannot be resolved overnight or with electoral verdicts. What is needed is a sustained conversation at different levels of society between members of the two communities, regardless of whether or not they flaunt their religious identity as being paramount.

KL Rahul goes down the ground Roger Federer will be proud of that cross batted shot from KL Rahul. KL Rahul goes down the ground for four runs. That was short from Cottrell and Rahul backed away to give himself time and whack it away straight back past the bowler Rahul-First 33 balls: 59Last 16 balls: 18 India 187/2 with three overs to go. Massive Over 6 1 4 6 4 1= 22 runs of the over and Virat Kohli is cutting loose. It's raining boundaries and sixes at the Wankhede! The cheers are only getting louder for Kohli and Co. IND- 173/2 after 15 ovs WI miss run out chance That was a close shave as KL Rahul was nowhere near the picture after Holder's throw to the non-striker's end. Kohli rushed to the striker's end while Rahul was not keen on a run, then gives up trying to cross. But Holder misses a direct hit. Wry smile from Rahul. SIXXXXX SIX! Aggression from Virat Kohli and he spoils what was turning out to be a great final over for Walsh Jr. A six over long on for the Indian captain. The 150 comes up for the hosts. IND- 151/2 (14) IND on the back seat Just 10 runs off last 2 overs and India have lost 2 wickets. Could there be a loss in momentum now? WICKET! Pant Without even settling in Pant attempts to go big but ends up finding Holder at long-off! Rishabh Pant is gone for a duck. Pollard picks up the wicket at a ground he knows well. India have lost 2 wickets in quick time. Virat Kohli has walked in. 138/2 in 12.2 overs
Was a big call to send an under pressure Rishabh Pant to bat.

WICKET! Rohit Sharma Gone! Rohit Sharma is gone against the run of play for 71 off 34! Williams provides the breakthrough at last. Spectacular Innings From Rohit Comes To An End With a Superb Catch. Maybe the break in play with Lewis getting injured helped the Windies. That was a lethal Innings by HITMAN at his Home Ground in front of his wife and kid. IND- 136/1 after 12 setTimeout(function(){(function(id){var embedTag=document.getElementById(id).children[0]; if(embedTag){var width=embedTag.offsetWidth; var height=embedTag.offsetHeight; embedTag.height=document.body.offsetWidth * (height/width); embedTag.width=document.body.offsetWidth;}})("embed-quint-brightcove-iframe-tag-4");},1000); Evin Lewis stretchered off West Indies' bowlers may have been under the pump, but their fielders have been top notch. Evin Lewis has jarred his knee, trying to prevent another brutal square cut from Rahul. He's being stretchered off. Awful news for West Indies. Another big over for IND 6 0 1 4 4 1 = 16 runs again of this over. IND 132/0 after 11 overs, Rohit is on 70 while Rahul is giving him company on 61. Meanwhile, this is also the highest opening partnership for India vs WI bettering the 123 by Rohit & Dhawan in Lucknow last year. How good is Rohit tonight? Rohit has looked absolutely sublime so far. He's played only 4.3% false shots - the lowest of his 23 fifty-plus scores in T20Is for the first 50 runs. Only once has he reached the landmark quicker of these 23 knocks.

Rohit Sharma dealing in sixes in Mumbai Six of the fourth ball of the 7th over. Pierre overpitched one, he was down on one knee and out came a powerful slog sweep over mid-wicket. The fifth ball is another SIX as he lofts Pierre over the top. He is not done yet and its a four again. Pierre has lost it. Rohit reaches out and sensibly guides the ball wide of point, knowing there's no sweeper on the off-side. 21 runs off it, the best over the innings IND 81-0 after 7 overs India is on fire KL Rahul is going the distance 5.1 - FOUR 5.2 - SIX 5.3 - FOUR

Evin Lewis's brilliance at the boundary line robbed Rohit of another six. The Indian opener scores another boundary from the over. A huge over for India, 14 from it. IND - 58/0 after 5 overs Rahul takes charge Four runs off the first four balls and then KL Rahul hits Jason Holder towards mid-wicket followed by a six over deep backward point.

CAB clears Parliament test, Opposition to knock Supreme Court door
The decision to make the Bill a law came after the Upper House rejected motions by Opposition leaders to send it to a select committee. The Opposition is now planning to challenge the Bill in the Supreme Court, with many of them even arguing it won't stand judicial scrutiny. As protests raged in Assam and other parts of the Northeast, the Bill was passed with 125 voting in favour of the motion and 99 against it. The Bill sailed through the Upper House, where the Centre is short of a majority, with the support of the BJD, YSRCP and the TDP. The Shiv Sena opposed the Bill in the Upper House but walked out at the time of voting. The Sena had voted in its favour in the Lok Sabha. Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticised the Sena's U-turn, wondering if power makes people change overnight. While Shah said the passage of the Bill would bring a new dawn for thousands of refugees, the Opposition said it would be a dark and long night for those left out. "We have included six religions. There is no appreciation. The only focus is on Muslims.... Are Muslims in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan minorities? Will it be secularism only if Muslims are included? As per your definition, only if Muslims come, then it will be secularism," Shah said, adding that in the past five years, over 500 Muslims have been accorded Indian citizenship. Asserting that Muslims need not fear, Shah said: "This bill will not hurt the sentiments of any community. I want to assure the Muslims that there will be no injustice to them. This Bill is not about snatching anybody's rights." Several MPs from the Northeast, including from the BJP, highlighted the protests against the Bill and urged the government to allay the fears of the agitators. Ripun Bora, Congress MP from Assam, said the law would undermine the claim of Indian Hindus in his state. "Assam is burning. Northeast is burning. By the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, you are going to force our Indian Hindu people to become foreigners. This is only for political polarisation." Slamming the Bill, senior Congress leader P Chidamabaram said, "What we are doing here is wrecking the Constitution from within. Hopefully, the judiciary will strike it down and save India and the idea of India." Trinamool MP Derek O'Brien compared the Bill to the laws passed in Nazi Germany and made an emotional appeal to the conscience of JD(U) and BJD members. DMK's Tiruchi Siva asked why the Centre had cherry-picked only three countries and ignored Hindu minorities in Bhutan, Myanmar and Sri Lanka. "There is a sense of apprehension among Muslims who are living under fear." Calling it a sad day, BSP's S C Mishra said the Bill was against the Preamble of the Constitution.

Beauty now just Photoshop deep
Cut to present times: The recent advertisement of Veet hair removal cream for men, starring Bollywood's current heartthrob Kartik Aaryan, has got netizens talking angrily about the perils of trying to achieve the 'perfect' look. While the product itself doesn't seem problematic, the advertisement featuring Kartik, who's shown with excessively photoshopped six-pack abs, does. Now, the actor is being slammed for letting the filmmakers use excessive Photoshop on him and, thus, for promoting toxic masculinity. Popular Instagram account @Dietsabya, who's known for exposing fake designs and rip-offs in the world of fashion and calling out celebrities for supporting problematic narratives, wrote, 'By popular demand, @kartikaaryan did @veetindia put you on the #Gandi #diet? #beautyplus #lol #dietsabya #photoshop #fake #abs.' In the video, one can actually notice the excessive Photoshop, which has been used on Kartik's body. One of the user with the handle, @the_official_nilesh_garg, commented on the post saying, '"Dear Veet, please tell me how to put on those fake abs because my crush likes guys with abs. Please? (Sic)' ... DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt. Publisher: Deccan Chronicle
