Bike Taxi in Mumbai and other cities of India

Traffic and pollution are two big problems of urban India. Apart from local trains and buses, car taxis and auto rickshaws are big modes of public transport, but it increases traffic congestion and air pollution. Often a single person hires a car taxi or auto. Hence it is wastage of fuel, time, money and increase of pollution. Four and three wheelers often cannot enter narrow bye-lanes and drop passengers at main roads. Often car taxis and autos refused passengers for smaller distances. A bike taxi is a licensed form of transport in some advance countries like Iran, Thailand, and Cambodia and recently in USA. If central and state governments make rules and permit bike taxis for all big cities including Mumbai it will be of great help for single passengers and to ease the traffic congestion.

(6) Back packs and small luggage is not a problem.

Mahr - A gift, not a penalty

Whenever a matter of Talaq (divorced from Muslim husband) appears in news papers, most often it is mentioned that Mahr is an amount to be paid by man to his wife in case the marriage is terminated. This is absolutely wrong and a misunderstanding. Actually , as per the Islamic teachings in holy Quran and Hadith (sayings of prophet Muhammad), Mahr is the amount to be paid by the groom to the bride, at the time of marriage (Nikah) and it is nothing but a gift money which she can expend as per her wish. And it is obligatory on groom to pay it at the time of Nikah. It is a must condition of Marriage (Nikah),without which Nikah is incomplete. It is right of a Muslim woman. Also it should be a hefty amount not a petty sum but considerable to groom’s financial condition.It can be cash or kind. It can be an amount equal to one month’s salary of groom or some or several grammas of gold or silver or can be a residential home, a farm or a factory.
It is the beginning of financial empowerment of a newlywed Muslim bride which
gives her a sense of security and respect.
On the other hand bride or his parents have nothing to give any dowry,
hunda or any gift in cash or kind. Islam makes husband responsible for financial
obligations of a family. There is no concept of dowry in Islam. This practice can be
seen in Islamic countries like Arab world, Iran or Indonesia-Malaysia. There is a
need of reform for Muslims in Indo-Pak sub-continent, as per the Quranic teaching.
Due to ignorance of Islamic teaching in India, many Muslims also think that
Mahr is to be paid at the time of Talaq only; otherwise there is no need to pay it.
And somehow it is looked as a penalty or a compensation for Talaq (divorced from
husband side). Mahr has nothing to do with Talaq. Mahr is a gift, not a penalty.

Burqa protects a woman's modesty

Burqa is not a symbol of religion in Islam but a dress code to safeguard the women from eve teasing and protect her modesty. Also Qur’an does not make mandatory to cover face of a women, it is her choice. I don’t understand some people's view that burqa is against secularism, when it is not going to hurt sentiments of other religions.

Dress is a matter of personal choice. If wearing burqa in public is against the secularism then what about dress of nuns in Europe and rest of world which clearly distinguishes them as representatives of Christian faith.

How covering full body for a woman in society is against the equality of gender?
Did these people means less clothes give women more liberty and respect?

In India several highly educated Muslim women teaches in colleges, universities and wear burqa by their choice. No man forces her wife to wear burqa. If burqa is a problem by security angle then what about wearing helmet which is compulsory not only for men but also for women driving two wheelers?
