A clearly visible and imminent risk is hovering over India. The country will have to be very careful about threat perception from Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) conspiracy. In the same manner that Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi and ISIS terrorists are wiping out Shias in Iraq, the ISIS wants to repeat the horror in India too. The Indian Muslims have dismissed Al-Bagdadi’s appeal, but there is an apprehension that with the lure of money some people may get involved in the conspiracy or some mercenaries may get involved and carry out a plan to stoke violence in the country. An apprehension is also being expressed that the ISIS will make every attempt to ignite violence between Shias and Sunnis in the country. Chauthi Duniya is in the possession of some mind blowing information which makes it imperative for the Government to be especially alert on the occasion of Muharram, due shortly, and focus on the security of Shia religious leaders....

The latest decision of the ruling Congress-NCP led state government to grant 16 per cent reservation quota to the Maratha community in education and jobs on the premise of their being socially and educationally backward, has stirred a hornet's nest. Besides, the government has also accorded five per cent reservation quota for the Muslim community. Coming as it does, just months before the Assembly elections, it is quite clear that the decision is aimed at wooing the sizeable and politically powerful Maratha community to its side. NCP chief Sharad Pawar was blunt and brazen enough to admit it that the decision was poll-oriented when he remarked that “we are not Sadhus or Saints” and added that the decision would certainly pay electoral dividends to the ruling alliance....
