Balapur Ganesh Laddu Shouldn’t Be Auctioned

The famous Balapur Ganesh Laddu fetched Rs 5.07 lakh in an auction held in the final stages of the Vinayaka Chathurdhi and Ganesh idols immersion today.

Mia Bibi Razi to Kya Karega (Strictly Male) Quazi

Muslim clerics have questioned the sanctity of a marriage of a Sunni couple under the Shariat law which was solomonised by a Shia women Quazi I used to think that at least in Muslims it doesn’t matter what the Quazi thinks, and that’s what the law also states (Muslim marriage is an agreement, not a sacrament). But, NO, it seems I was wrong: Muslim couples can marry sans a Male…
