Where is Ms Shabana Azmi, Ms Arundhati Roy, Ms Teesta Setalwad, the star anchors on various channels, Natl Women's Commission etc etc? I worry for "God's own country": She needs better protection against Kerala's Taliban. Also reminded me of this article by Kanchan Gupta titled, "Kerala's slide into radical Islamism" from which these concluding lines: "It is ...a laughable sight to watch Malayalees trying to navigate crowded streets in Kochi wearing white Arab gelabayas, the loose kaftan like dress that along with the kafeyah — or ‘Arab rumal’ — has become a symbol of trans-national radical Islam, their ‘Arab Pardha’ clad wives and daughters in tow. But it is not a laughable matter. Increasingly, we are witnessing a shifting of loyalties from Malabar to Manipur. Faith in India is being transplanted by belief in Arabia. This should alarm those who believe in the Indian nation as a secular entity."

Thanks for the link Indian…There is no post on “Islamization of India” but if I come across more instances/examples etc, I may consideropening one…
In the meantime, if you cannot find a link to something, this thread may be the most appropriate:

@Shantanu, I hope this is the right thread! This link may have a place under Islamilization of India which I couldn’t find here

More than 100 Hindu girl students of Stree Adhyapan Mandir, Opposite Gandhi Ashram, offered namaz on September 9 after a day long roza. However, the girls were denied permission for celebrating Ganesh ustav. The girls aged between 16 and 17 are students of Primary Teacher Course (PTC) and were living at Somnath Girls Hostel of the institute. All girls were invited for the namaz, but many refused to join them.
Though the girls were not used to Muslim religious practice, one of students Swati Patel claimed that she had learned how to offer namaz from her Muslim teacher and the clerk Anees. The girls of the institute wanted to celebrate Ganesh Utsav. But, principal outrightly denied them the permission saying that it was a waste of time and the girls may lose focus on their studies.
