I.N.D.I.A. is merely a facelift project for the UPA

August 5, 2023

Interesting times we live in wherein PM Modi takes wacky and queerish swipes at the (purported) united opposition by juxtaposing the alliance, I.N.D.I.A., with acronyms such as PFI, SIMI, IM, and EIC and insinuating the ostensible parallels!

Authentic concepts of Shiva

March 15, 2023

Before reading the book, I thought it would be a general description of Bhagwan Shiva. As I started reading the book, it made my interest grow. This book was absolutely unlike any other as far as the content was concerned. But for such a deep subject, the language was too...

Mahua Moitra: The elite anarchist

February 10, 2022

It is also worth noting that this is not a one-off incident where Mahua has used gaumutra as a pejorative term to berate and affront Hindus. In Moitra’s Tweet, it is unnecessary to elucidate that the hate directed at Gaumutra reeks of hate for Hindus.Trinamool Congress (TMC) Lok Sabha MP...

What Surat’s POCSO trials teach us about justice delivery

December 24, 2021

It is with a heavy heart and a mixed bag of emotions we contemplate and deliberate upon the successful completion of two POCSO trials within a month’s time; mixed because, firstly, the heinous and monstrous crimes against minors ought not happen, and secondly, the lackadaisical pace and apathy of the...

UNTIL NEXT TIME: SUBAS GANTAYAT

June 25, 2021

Notwithstanding the exuberant, affable and amicable behaviour with a tint of sense of restlessness most of the times, inability to be in a particular place idly doing nothing and to constantly get vexed (on me) on almost everything as minuscule as a needle, nothing short of unadulterated, and sheer fatherly...
