Babri, triple talaq: All India Muslim Personal Law Board still regressive

The educated middle class of Muslims has not had the courage to speak out and persuade the community to put enough pressure to initiate relevant reforms, despite their discomfiture with the AIMPLB

On February 10-11, 2018, the 26th plenary session of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, comprising the ulema, took place in Hyderabad. There were two stated agendas: the Babri Masjid and triple talaq.

Just before this meet, one of the members of the board, Salman Nadvi, had already entered into some kind of negotiations with Shri Shri Ravi Shankar, reportedly for some kind of out-of-court settlement. Informed observers from the community are under the impression that Nadvi is emulating Zafar Sareshwala in becoming close to the prime minister. This impression has been building for a while now.
