Can't give reservation based on religion: SC

IndiaTimes Monday, 9 December 2024
The Supreme Court is hearing the Bengal government's challenge against a Calcutta High Court decision quashing OBC status for 77 communities, mainly Muslim.

Muslim Ban 2.0? Trump’s 2025 Travel Ban Ditches the Protests - But Raises Bigger Questions [Video]

Muslim Ban 2.0? Trump’s 2025 Travel Ban Ditches the Protests - But Raises Bigger Questions

Donald Trump’s controversial travel ban is back - this time broader, more strategic, and without an expiration date. Dubbed by critics as "Muslim Ban 2.0," the 2025 version expands beyond Muslim-majority countries, citing visa overstay rates and political instability. Unlike the explosive protests seen in 2017, this round has sparked quieter concern but deeper legal and ethical questions. As the list of restricted nations grows, so do fears about religious profiling, global diplomacy, and the long-term impact on America’s immigrant identity. #TrumpTravelBan #MuslimBan #TravelBan2025 #TrumpBanReturns #USVisaBan #MuslimTravelBan #DonaldTrumpBan #BanControversy #ImmigrationBan #TrumpPolicy2025 #NoEntryBan #VisaRestrictions #TrumpMuslimBan #NewTravelBan #TrumpVsImmigrants Also Read US Issues Travel Ban For Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: Serena Hotel Peshawar Flagged As High-Risk :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-issues-travel-ban-for-khyber-pakhtunkhwa-serena-hotel-peshawar-flagged-as-high-risk-4000413.html?ref=DMDesc UN Security Council Lifts Travel Ban On Taliban Officials For Hajj Pilgrimage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/un-security-council-lifts-travel-ban-on-taliban-officials-for-hajj-pilgrimage-3846327.html?ref=DMDesc Sri Lanka crisis: SC bars ex PM Mahinda Rajapaksa, Basil from leaving country until July 28 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/sc-imposes-travel-ban-on-mahinda-rajapaksa-basil-3434186.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.336~GR.125~
