Development and political competitiveness go hand in hand. After winning a few seats in 2012 elections, PPI lost its footing in the 2017 elections with no win. If PPI invests in steps that can enrich deprived Muslim communities, work to strengthening their youth and providing them opportunities for growth; it can gather political momentum and have an equal footing with bigger political players in the state.

Heath, Vernier and Kumar have already established that there is a significant likelihood of Muslims opting for Muslim candidates; however those candidates should also carry a chance of winning. PPI needs to broaden its base of target population, i.e. not just focus on the backward communities, but also the urban middle class Muslims. As Staeheli mentions, “communities are rarely homogenous entities but are instead internally fractured by an array of contradictory identities and subjectivities.” New Delhi based journalist Mehran Zaidi, states that the main problems of UP’s urban Muslims remains job security and education opportunities, and nearly 32% of UP’s Muslims reside in urban areas. PPI can work towards adding its focus on goals which the larger Muslim population can connect to, thereby moderating its image from being a Deobandi offshoot party to a progressive one. This will attract larger interest and participation not just from the urban youth, but also from moderate Muslim leaders, promoting the cause of Muslims’ upliftment and working in cooperation with other communities. A cause like this will attract voices from other communities echoing concerns of developmental politics, enabling different groups to come together at a platform leading to an all-inclusive dialogue for UP’s progress. Schwedler highlights such an outcome as a type of “political moderation that has been triggered by the incentives for groups to
By her admission the women volunteers of the social welfare organizations were predominantly middle and upper-class. Deeb does not consider how women from other socio-economic groups pursue and engage in piety and modernity, and how they view “authenticated Islam.” As such Deeb’s description of an authenticated Islamic community in al-Dahiyya seems to represent the formulations provided by a privileged class of women. The absence of other socio-economic is coupled with a cursory description of the peripheries of the community. Less emphasis is placed on the inhabitants of al-Dahiyya who are marginalized and excluded from the enchanted modern. A greater study of how authenticated Islam is understood by member of other socio-economic classes and the more marginalized members of the community would have given a greater insight, not only into the development of the enchanted modern, but also the social dynamics which govern

To My Dearest Ernest, I write this to you, blushing and grinning at the prospect of us spending the rest of our lives with each other. While pondering your union with mamma, one of my dearest carriage men has just offered me a delectable dish of fresh scones with jam and a pot of English breakfast tea to bide my time. I sit here alone in this carriage with diary, pen and the urge to run back to you to be embellished with your words of love and the ritual of your proposal. However, during this moment of separation, I have some time to reflect. At this very moment instead showering me with promises of endless love and devotion I am under the assumption that you are being interrogated by mamma regarding our potential marriage.
“Demand more, Expect more, Achieve more.” A quote that I have cultivated as part of my academic and technical education in Greater Lawrence Technical School. As a senior in GLTS I have experienced life changing lessons that could only be taught in a school like this. The big stairs that greet us every morning accompanied by the joyous “Good Morning” given by our superintendent set a positive tone for our passion for learning. The way I see it is that by walking, sometimes even crawling these stairs every morning we are faced with a small task.
1. It is important to me in some cases. If the major details are presented as true and are not, I find it unethical. For example, "Mortenson’s claim to be building schools to battle Taliban recruitment in militant-thick parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan is false — just as was his claim to have been held hostage by Taliban fighters and his original claim of being rescued by villagers in Korphe," in my opinion, is unethical. However, if it is just small, insignificant details to make the telling of the story smoother, I do not have much of a problem with it.
into their home once they arrive at college. If a roof is leaking or the temperature is uncomfortable, they will not be able to concentrate on their academics, which could result in failure. Aside from the safe environment, the improvement of aesthetics could entice students to live on campus, increasing the revenue that would have been lost to outside companies. With enough recruitment and retention the project would pay for itself quickly.
