Delhi high court upholds Army officer's termination for refusing to attend religious parade
Representative image NEW DELHI: Delhi high court has upheld the 2017 termination of an Army officer who refused to participate in regimental weekly religious parades on the grounds that he belonged to the Christian faith. Samuel Kamalesan had challenged his dismissal without pension and gratuity, and sought reinstatement in service. In a May 30 order, a division bench of Justice Navin Chawla and Justice Shalinder Kaur said: "Our armed forces comprise personnel of all religions, castes, creeds, regions and faiths, whose sole motto is to safeguard the country from external aggressions... They are united by their uniform rather than divided by their religion, caste or region. " 'Kamalesan's behaviour was against secular norms of Army' Kamalesan was commissioned in Army in March 2017 as a lieutenant in the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, which comprises three squadrons of Sikh, Jat and Rajput personnel. He was made the troop leader of Squadron B, which comprises Sikh personnel. In his plea, Kamalesan stated that his regiment maintained only a mandir and a gurdwara for its religious needs and parades, and not a sarv dharm sthal, which would serve persons of all faiths. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like "허리협착증" 통증으로 걷기 힘들 때 비수술 보존 치료로 회복 가능! ort02a 지금 문의 Undo He noted that there was no church on the premises. The bench observed that while regiments in the armed forces may historically bear names associated with religion or region, it does not undermine the secular ethos of the institution or of personnel posted in these regiments. "There are also war cries which, to an outsider, may sound religious in nature; however, they serve a purely motivational function, intended to foster solidarity and unity among the troops. At the same time, the armed forces also give due respect to the religious beliefs of their personnel," the bench noted. HC observed that Kamalesan kept his religion above a lawful command from his superior, which was clearly an act of indiscipline. "While, to a civilian, it may appear harsh and even sound far-fetched, the standard of discipline required for the armed forces is different," it said. The bench stated the termination order specifically noted that Kamalesan's undisciplined behaviour was against all secular norms of Indian Army and adversely affected the traditional camaraderie between officers and troops of the regiment. Noting that Army organised several counselling sessions for Kamalesan, the court concluded that the decision of termination was taken after careful consideration of the specific circumstances of the case and potential consequences of different courses of action.

Mira Rajput, the lifestyle maven and Shahid Kapoor's wife, added another feather in her hat as the founder of a wellness company and adorned a gorgeous look for its launch event. The diva wore a stunning off-shoulder maxi dress for the event and looked every inch ravishing. Rajput curated the dress from the LA-based luxury brand Simkhai with a price tag of Rs 57,300. Let's dissect how she styled her stunning outfit. Mira Rajput was papped donning a whimsical dress and looked like a fairytale princess. The maxi dress boasted a unique tailoring that made it look surreal. Starting from the sleeves, the dress featured an off-the-shoulder pattern with the strap draping around her back. The cupped style featured a ruched pattern that cascaded into a plain fabric, cinched at her bodice. The body-hugging knitted fabric at the midriff defined Mira's waist, giving her a vintage, Victorian fashion form. The skirt cascaded from the waist in a dreamy form as the pleated fabric defined the twirl of the skirt. The soft pleating of the jersey dress beautifully enhanced its movement, allowing it to twirl playfully with each step. The monochromatic white maxi dress gave a statuesque appeal to Rajput's form, accentuating her graceful charisma. Mira Rajput's gold-girly aesthetic Going for a Cleopatra vibe and gold-girly aesthetic, Mrs. Kapoor styled her dress with everything golden. The fashionista wore long, chunky golden earrings, stylishly elevating her understated yet striking silhouette. She wore a stack of wavy bracelets that added to her dress's fairytale aura. She further flung on a metal watch with an oval dial, aligning with her newest CEO-core avatar. Another gilded element in Mira's OOTN was her strapped heels in gilded hue. The sleek footwear peeked through her flowy dress with every moment. For her makeup, the beauty maven kept it subtle yet gorgeous, with a glowy base and blushed-up cheeks. Adhering to her signature look, she applied soft, winged eyeliner with voluminous mascara, accentuating her eyes. The diva rounded up her glam with simple nude lipstick. Rajput side-swept her hair with the wavy tresses framing her face gorgeously. Mira Rajput Kapoor's white dress look was equal parts glamorous and effortlessly stylish, serving as a noteworthy fashion moment.

Know How Mughal & Rajput Architecture Blend In Chennai City's Monuments
The major South Indian cultural center of Tamil Nadu which includes Chennai is best known for its traditional Dravidian temples with its colonial-period architecture and its contemporary skyline. The busy city contains hidden monuments that present a remarkable architectural fusion where Mughal and Rajput traditions peacefully unite with traditional South Indian elements. A diverse architectural heritage developed as centuries passed due to cultural trading and population shifts which can be seen throughout Chennai's structural framework. 1. Chepauk Palace The Chepauk Palace stands as the most remarkable blend of architectural styles in Chennai because Muhammad Ali Khan Wallajah built it during the late 18th century. The Nawabs used this building for living purposes while its architectural design combined European elements with both Islamic and Hindu forms. The Mughal features present in this structure include large arched gateway and cusped arches as well as domed structures. The structure displays Rajput design elements through its decorative patterns as well as lattice screens together with its symmetric layout and proportional architecture features. 2. Amir Mahal The Royapettah area holds Amir Mahal as a second monument that features visual elements of both Mughal and Rajput architectural styles. Indian Muslim architectural elements blend with local adjustments to create this structure which was previously used as a summer residence by Arcot Nawabs before their rule ended. The building in its exterior shows typical Mughal scalloped arches as well as interior stucco decorations alongside Rajput floral motifs. The courtyards of Amir Mahal incorporate Indian residential veranda design that matches traditional Tamil dwellings as well as Rajput palace architecture. The Arcot royal family descendant Prince Mohammed Abdul Ali now resides in this building which exemplifies both historical significance and present-day heritage of intercultural construction concepts. 3. Dargahs and Mosques The city of Chennai demonstrates Rajput and Mughal architectural influences in numerous mosques as well as dargahs. The Thousand Lights Mosque in Anna Salai shows Mughal architectural features through its minarets and domes but its exterior showcases Rajput elements with intricate stone decorations and geometric designs. In the same vein the Wallajah Big Mosque draws inspiration from Persian and Mughal and Tamil traditions by integrating a tall dome that blends with arched entrances decorated with refined lattice work. The religious buildings showcase the way Islamic architecture merged with native practices by using local materials and building methods while continuing to show elements from northern Indian styles. 4. Artistic and Cultural Significance These architectural findings show that artistic traditions maintain a free movement between separate regions together with how human creativity can adjust to new environments. These structural buildings served as platforms for community communication because they combined northern Indian design conventions with regional building traditions and thus generated mutual recognition of cultural diversity. Wrapping Up A large number of significant historical monuments encounter preservation issues today. The construction practices and environmental conditions of urbanization and pollution together with structural abandonment have adversely affected Chepauk Palace and Amir Mahal. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) together with other organizations works actively to protect these sites while initiating restoration projects. An awareness campaign combined with community participation will sustain the heritage architecture of Chennai so its future generations can continue to understand its rich historical designs.
