Vivo Z1 Pro Summary

Vivo's new Z1 Pro is aimed at millenials who are highly critical of specifications and features, and who prefer buying phones online. It has plenty of selling points including a large, crisp, notchless screen with a punch-hole for the front camera. This is also the first phone in India to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 processor, which gives it a performance advantage at its price level, especially for gaming. There's a 5000mAh battery with support for quick charging, and three rear cameras. There are three variants: 4GB RAM with 64GB storage, 6GB RAM with 64GB storage, and 6GB RAM with 128GB storage. You can also choose between the shiny Sonic Blue and Sonic Black finishes.

The Vivo Z1 Pro puts up a strong showing in terms of its display, cameras, processor, and battery. We enjoyed using it for everyday tasks as well as entertainment. One slight damper is that Vivo's Funtouch OS takes a bit of getting used to, and has a lot of bloat. 

Some people might find this phone too bulky and heavy, but it's priced very well and offers great value even compared to other heavyweights in its segment.

Sena Exits Government; NCP, Congress Meetings On Maharashtra: 10 Points

Here's your ten-point cheatsheet on this big story:

• "Shiv Sena's side is the truth. Why stay in the government in Delhi in such a false environment? That is why I am resigning as Union Minister," Arvind Sawant tweeted, declaring that he would soon address the media on his decision. Mr Sawant is Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises.
• The Shiv Sena was on Sunday invited by Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari to indicate "willingness and ability" to form government in the state after the BJP said it would not stake claim to power. It needs the support of Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Congress to do so.
  
  
  
  
• The NCP had asked the Sena to quit the NDA for any such possibility to come in play. The party has reportedly called a meeting of its MLAs today after the rapid developments since Sunday.
• Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray is expected to reach out to Sharad Pawar today. Uddhav Thackeray is tipped to be Chief Minister, with an NCP deputy, in a formula that has been in circulation over the weekend.
• "If the Shiv Sena wants to insult the mandate of the people and form government with the support of the NCP and Congress, they have our best wishes," the BJP said yesterday after informing the Governor that it would not stake claim to power "The mandate of the people was for the Shiv Sena-BJP combine. We cannot form the government on our own," Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrakant Patil said after meeting the Governor.
• The Sena called a late night meeting of the top leaders to discuss the governor's invite Sena's Sanjay Raut said the state will have a Sena Chief Minister "at any cost". Without spelling anything out, the NCP said it would "support a stable government".
• "If the Sena wants the support of the Congress and NCP they must first announce that they are ending ties with the BJP and they are out of the NDA. Their ministers need to quit the council of ministers," NCP's Nawab Malik said on Monday, adding that there was no proposal from the Sena so far.
• In an editorial in Saamana, the party mouthpiece, the Sena last week said: "With 54 MLAs of NCP, 44 Cong MLAs and few independents, we can reach majority. The Sena can present its own Chief Minister and for that, three parties with independent ideology should form policies which are acceptable to all" But after a meeting with Sharad Pawar, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi ruled out the possibility of aligning with the Shiv Sena. Congress leaders of Maharashtra are likely to make another attempt at persuading their leadership to agree to support the Sena.
• The Congress Working Committee, the party's top decision-making body, is meeting to discuss whether the party will back a Sena-NCP government and if so, if it should provide outside support.
• Caretaker Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis resigned on Friday. On Saturday, as the term of the Maharashtra legislative assembly ended without any resolution, Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari invited the BJP to form government. The BJP and the Sena, long-term allies for more than 25 years, won a majority together in last month's Maharashtra elections. The BJP won 105 seats and the Sena 56, which placed them comfortably ahead of the majority mark of 145 in the 288-member assembly, However, the Sena refused to form government with the BJP without an agreement, in writing, that it would have the chief minister's post for half the term and an equal share in ministries, in what it called a "50:50" deal discussed with BJP chief Amit Shah. As Devendra Fadnavis denied any such deal, the Sena's attacks on the BJP became more and more vitriolic.

What is the Babri Masjid case all about?

What is it?

At the core of the nearly 70-year-old Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute is the belief that Lord Ram was born 9,00,000 years ago in the Treta Yuga, in a room located under what was the central dome of the Babri Masjid. The masjid was built on the orders of Mughal emperor Babur in the 16th century and occupied 1,482.5 square yards before its demolition by kar sevaks on December 6, 1992.

On September 30, 2010, a three-judge Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court upheld the Hindu belief, reasoning that the “world knows” where Ram’s birthplace is. It ordered a partition of the site occupied by the Babri Masjid equally among the U.P. Sunni Central Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla, the deity.

In May 2011, on appeals by the Sunni Waqf Board and other parties, the Supreme Court stayed the judgment, calling it a “leap of faith.” The stay ensured status quo, which meant that a lone priest would continue to worship in the makeshift temple built at the site — a custom legitimised in the Ayodhya Act of 1993. The ban continued on any mode of activity on the 67 acres acquired by the Centre following the Supreme Court orders of March 13 and 14, 2002.

The Supreme Court on December 5, 2017 fixed February 8, 2018 as the date for hearing the civil appeals in the title dispute. It commenced the final hearing in the dispute on that date, a day before the 25th anniversary of the demolition of the medieval-era structure.

The case banks mostly on documents written in languages as varied as Persian and Arabic, dating back to the 16th century.

How did it come about?

The idols of Ram Lalla were placed “surreptitiously” under the central dome of the Babri Masjid in 1949. The next year, Gopal Simla Visharad filed the first suit in the Faizabad civil court for rights to perform puja to Ram Lalla. Paramahansa Ramachandra Das filed a suit for continuation of puja and keeping idols in the structure.

In 1959, the Nirmohi Akhara filed a third suit, seeking a direction to hand over charge of the disputed site. The U.P. Sunni Central Wakf Board filed the fourth suit in 1961 for declaration and possession and a fifth was filed in 1989 in the name of Ram Lalla Virajman for declaration and possession.

In 1986, the district court ordered the removal of locks and opening of the site for Hindu worshippers. In 1991, the Uttar Pradesh government acquired land around the structure for the convenience of devotees coming for Ram Lalla darshan. In 1993, the Centre took over 67 acres around the area and sought the Supreme Court’s opinion on whether there existed a Hindu place of worship before the structure was built. In 1994, the litigation reached the Lucknow Bench. The suits were heard from 1996 till September 2010.

Why does it matter?

The Supreme Court’s decision will be a deciding factor in the backdrop of the movement for building a Ram temple at the disputed site gaining momentum. The Ram temple was a major promise in the BJP manifesto. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court, in April 2017, decided to revive the criminal conspiracy charges against senior BJP leaders, including L.K. Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharti, in the Babri Masjid demolition cases.

What next?

Just days before the commencement of the final hearing in the dispute in the Supreme Court, U.P. Central Shia Waqf Board chairman Syed Waseem Rizvi informed the court about a settlement reached between the Board and “non-Muslim stakeholders” for building a Ram temple at the disputed site. The Board said it would bear the expenses and construct a mosque in Lucknow. Rizvi has earlier claimed the Babri Masjid was a Shia waqf (endowment), and termed the Sunnis, who had been at the frontline of the title dispute, as “hardliners.”

The so-called settlement may face resistance from the Sunni faction in court. Though the Supreme Court has leaned in favour of an out-of-court settlement, this Sunni-Shia rift may compel it to adjudicate the dispute
