A jump in about and we saw it about 20000 cases added to that list because they were saying that they were expanding the ways that doctors are able to diagnose kovan 19 so what china has been doing since january is using this one type of test this nucleic acid test to test for covert 19 and there were some complaints about this test people said that it mainly it took too long for us to receive a result about 2 to 3 days and so the what they did last week is that they expanded it and said that doctors can clinically diagnosed patients using things like c. T. Scans and lung x. Rays so what theyve done now is they seem to have reversed that decision and gone back to using just this nucleic acid test to confirm cases of chrono virus patients and one of the reasons is that because having this number they saying using the clinically diagnosed method was pushing down the mortality rate it was giving a skewed a skewed version of the mortality rate maybe giving people the impression that this disease was not as deadly as it actually is so now theyve changed that and the numbers are down the Chinese Government is saying its continuing to say that this is there is a downward trend in this corona virus and that its looking good because weve seen as you mention about 394 cases over the last 24 hours which is the 1st time weve actually seen a number below 1000 when it comes to new cases reported on a day to day basis which is good and at the same time were seeing more cases of patients who have been cured of the krona virus 2 elderly people who are on board a cruise ship that had been quarantined in japan for 14 days have now died from the virus those were the 1st steps on the passenger liner which was the highest number of cases after Mainland China.

Org. Board her. My name is artist taseer im a writer and a columnist. In this the 2nd of 2 films im traveling through india the country i grew up in. I want to see for myself the changes taking place amid a rising tide of him look for a hindu 1st politics these ideas which place hindus above people of other faiths stem from the very top leadership in this land of 1300000000 people. I started my journey in the holy city of our and i see in northern india. This is a deeply religious country in the middle of a battle for her soul and it is no surprise that it was this place that the hindu nationalist leader in the ranger mode he chose this election battleground republic sing its powerful symbolism in a new time. Behind this image of a religiously diverse nation india faces a new mini crisis. And minorities including 200000000. 00 muslims fear an underlying current of violence more brutality and death at the hands of hindu linus the hardliners claim injustices against him whos from muslim rule in sentrys past justifies their drive to return india to a golden age as they see it and a nation where hindus come 1st hindu is making up to get back the birthplace is off his ancestors and these films ive been asking whether these ideas come from. Following independence in 1947 which was closely intertwined with the bloody episode of partition some people had thought that the politics of division was finally a thing of the past in the newly created secular state of india all would be equal before the law but here the word secular would come to have a particularly indian meaning. Secular in india merely meant a the existence of a profusion of religions all of which were allowed and encouraged by the state to flourish. But over the past few decades a series of events occurred that threaten the very fabric of indias secular identity it set that then tiny b. G. P. Political party on course to become the ruling power they are today on the 6th of december 1902 a crowd of 850000 militants supporters of the pro hindu r. S. S. Descended on the barbary mosque in the northern town of a on the reputed birthplace of the hindu god rom i was standing next to the mosque when this crowd started increasing the gate broke down and the huge rush of people inside beyond the control of the of it i shouted down was a Young Journalist and a key witness to the events that were to unfold. What they started doing was breaking the barricade that was thematic getting all around and with the fury that could be even that was visible they walked in in within. Half an hour you saw dozens of people at the mosque. With its pro hindu agenda the r. S. S. Had long been agitating to destroy the 16th century mosque built by the mogul ruler barber and reclaimed the sacred ground for him booze for them the existence of the mosque was a long standing move when you saw this thing come down what did you see what. I thought about the the social and political back i said well there now this is a divide that theyve created in the country they are taking us back to 147 when india was divided. In the riots that followed between muslims and hindus some 2000 people were killed for Indian Muslims these events meant much more than just the loss of a defunct building. Businesses and i. Dentity it was not be the mosque was not so it was not the mosque that was important for the of that identity so do you feel that that the new politics had been born absolutely to like a new politics of division of division began. This was a division that would change the face of indian politics one that pushed many among the 80 percent hindu majority to support the b j p at that time a relatively obscure political party. Truly astonishing to hear sherrod story because it makes so clear how the stage was set for this Political Drama to play out in which a defunct mosque became the vessel of religious passions. This hindu reawakening was underlined by a long running t. V. Adaptation of the hindu epic the ra milan for years record numbers of indians were grouped by the series that chronicled the life of lord rum and tapped into a deep sense of pride and nostalgia among him. Its really amazing for me to see because i grew up on the t. V. Serial its the ra milan and it was played to india in the eightys to great passion and large audiences and now and it has a kind of an edge to it because we have large audiences again were in a stone quarry where the stones are being prepared for a future ram temple where the mosque had been demolished. For 28 years lawyers forth over the rights and wrongs of building a temple to lord ram on the site of the barbary mosque in the meantime the stones for the new temple because with the confidence that the situation in favor of building the long awaited temple would surely come. All those words are political to tell way of i dont know much how to get by but our thoughts are well mighty monday at the door mom. America much more than monarchy at our place or value only because if we didnt in the navy to get political. We get the locals that. Is new sneaking up here who is making up to get back out birthplaces of his ancestors. Kenny in do can go and make use temples in jerusalem no can i go room and build exam temple or hindu temple there no can i go to maka and build a temple there no i will not be allowed. Why we are considered different when the case of your dad comes. It is the but face of arda. What were seeing is the construction of partitions in hearts and minds of millions of people across the country i think a good clean in a direction which is potentially catastrophic. Same to the idea of india that the leadership of the represented was that india would be a country where people dont matter which god you worship or if you were shipped. What language you would be in if you be an equal citizen that was elected the same true cornerstone of all 14 stood for many of us believe that the issue was resolved for ever but it was not the beauty of it have succeeded in uniting. All communities into believing that theres a common enemy which is the muslim world the also has the backing of the largest Civil Society organization in the world. Which is which is the which is deeply connected to the ideology of indiscipline this is. The campaign to get back the sides of the barbary mosque for the hindus had been running for years. But the act that made it possible came from a completely unexpected event one that played into a negative narrative about muslims and secularism promoted by the r. S. S. In 96 and otherwise obscure family dispute involving a muslim couple that became known as the charbonneau case reached the Supreme Court in delhi. The has been claimed he divorced his wife islamic lee by saying they were to lock on 3 occasions. Are if Muhammad Khan was a cabinet minister at the time clock just repeat it thrice and its all over and now we have cause for the Court Advocate divorce when you had not divorce had on the day you had devoted. Under him to secular law the court refused to recognize the triple telarc islamic divorce he was ordered to pay his wife maintenance Congress Party pm and member of the narrow gandhi did misty rajiv gandhi initially supported the judgment his 1st instinct was the right one which was to back the Supreme Court decision that granted this poor old lady alimony and to encourage his cabinet minutes out of moment can you spoken to to sister in parliament and to say so with some courage and lehmanns. The personal low board which represented muslims claim the award was against islamic law angry clerics demonstrated outside parliament. The stand of the parcel board was that these judgement is against islam this is interference in the slum called therefore it must be rajiv gandhi buckled under the protest of conservative clerics he went back on his decision and passed a bill that reversed the Supreme Court ruling the case would now be judged under muslim personal law in tightening the wife just 3 months maintenance seeing this is an assault on womens rights progressive muslims and many hindus were appalled company came under attack from both sides. Rajiv gandhi did the worst mistake of his life by extending to these conservative elements and overturning the Supreme Court judgement and taking away her date to maintenance indian politics took a turn from that point davies and was dead the language which was the spoke threatening language our excited by limited meeting of the parts of a low board open call was given to brag but the leads of all those m. P. s who defied reports and if it is which was. A keen and again repeatedly how Supreme Court. Will smash the Supreme Court may just pieces. There was a discourse about appeasement to muslims the idea that people are going to work for muslims. Many hindus were angered at what they saw as the state caving in to muslim demands. For years the pro hindu r. S. S. Had agitated to access to the barbary mosque in new york here. To placate them rajiv gandhi ordered the site to be open for him to prat. A decision that has had deadly consequences ever since. On february 27th 2002 a train was set alight just outside go dressed asian in the Western State of gujarat. 58 hindu pilgrims were burnt to death theyd been returning home from the barbary mosque in new york here. There was an outcry and mobs of hindu hardliners took to the streets. Panic a start. Again as i just get their window but they havent heard our good idea or hindu or go clear tone john pull her to her instead of handing the dead to their families the bodies were transported nearly 200 kilometers to the town of under about to be paraded through the streets you can tell yourself alan low act on the just because a lot out there are just for gases and nature kendall btselem i dont get a lot out what role then. Got done many other how the mileage is going up it took me to tell you any suggest that he got his days conditioned and i. Know. The reading 58. 00 charged corpses through the streets was always likely to provoke further violence. Permission for the reportedly came from the then chief minister of. The ring through modi himself. In the ensuing riots over a 1000 were killed 3 quarters of them muslims. In 1902 when the mosque was demolished india changed for the worse. The issue of the charbonneau. Be emotive and important. The riots in. The sequence of events. That charted the path and lead the foundation for the ease of hindu supremacist politics and late to the emergence of this leader in the mood. For long hours the good dr state authorities stood by as rioting took place prompting allegations of state complicity. Saying forget i was a young Police Constable his unit was kept in active as people were massacred in the run up by p. M. S. Police or they can also has a thing public the cigar was your body of. One point the tanita well generally that or a matter of degree but that because you get out there that. No. But. We will need to get.

Advice would be needed and now so were going to maybe go away. For legit complicity in allowing the mob violence and killings to go unchecked during their more the was barred from visiting the us a ban that lasted for 10 years. Indias top court has ruled that a disputed religious site be given to hindus for the construction of a temple and you hardliners destroyed a 16th century mosque in 1992 spot hall riots that killed at least 2000 people. I find myself wondering how far do these events ive loved about on this journey represents an attempt at a historical record are we witnessing a weakening of the secular character of modern and do that set of rules on which the newly founded country was established. Can be. Invented in there without taking into account tragedies of more mundane how much weve tried to sanitize i dont think the people in the muslims of today should be blamed for what i have to do if i received their list particularly trying. To see that it didnt happen gets peoples backs its not evil securitisation its the reactions. This. All by pretending that it was all a happy family only long it wasnt because of a troubled history. If the muslim were to accept that yes we are muslims and we shall remain muslim but our ancestors the same as yours i would say 99 percent of the problems with the muslims and below because of the way they are portrayed is the descendants of the murders of the looters and butchers and rapists the making common cause with people who broke the law on temple the christian or temple the kashi we shall not temple 40000 other temples but its true that they are converted. I think where was born here for 2 months a backlash you might call it and the need for a strong leader combined with the need to assert what they thought was the hindu identity and by implication the best latent. People are coming back to the word the people are thinking to come back to their troops they are filling that. Right v connect with their roots and their roots does not lie in. Identity is connected with. Whether i have converted to islam my true identity was before the islam we are not proud of identify oneself with baba they were they made us. The hindu for our view of the past might sound great if you happen to be a hindu but where does this leave the non hindus naseer room became acutely aware of the challenges facing her muslim daughter growing up in increasingly pro hindu surroundings shes written a book about saad says i kept waiting for my teacher to react in school the class me. I was silent i didnt respond and i just kept sitting there i didnt really know what to do. What is it like now to grow up as a muslim child in india take you through one story in your book the boys called house and they they come and call him to go to this Birthday Party and then a few minutes later he comes back home the boy refused to let him maintain his house and said that he cannot share the cake with you you cannot eat together. My parents dont want you at my house and the mother said i did. Was your experience growing up in india what when you say look at yourself in context of these stories what was it like for you i grew up in a different india i think it was also because of the larger narrative i doubt if we can even see the same country and. You know all we had that one National Television channel to the ocean whic
