With the state now aligned with the national ruling party, the demand is shifting from ‘protection of culture’ to ‘proportion of power.’ And it is facing a peculiar reservation paradox.
ThePrint prides itself on its exacting editorial standards. Each article goes through a thorough, detailed vetting and different levels of gatekeeping.
If women’s participation expands while party ecosystems remain exempt from enforceable anti-harassment duties, we will be inviting new entrants into unsafe spaces.
The recent partnership between entrepreneur Arif Habib and the Fauji Foundation is a direct consequence of the military’s ascendency to political power.
Whatever the criticism against their tenures may be, Begum Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina kept the hope of democracy alive in Bangladesh. Today, the country stands at a crossroads.
India did achieve its military objectives, but whether it met its broader strategic aims remains debatable. These aims could be framed around 3Ds: Destroy, Deter, and Deny.
The US and Israel’s assassinations of Iranian leadership ended up bestowing martyrdom on those killed. Shias saw the deaths as a continuity of martyrdom from the Battle of Karbala.
India’s fast-growing data centre sector may strain state electricity networks; Central Electricity Authority has urged Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu to boost capacity.
Theaterisation, which aims to divide the forces into three theatres with specific areas of responsibility, will become the single most far-reaching reform that the Indian military has witnessed since independence.
China patiently invested capital, skill and technology in coal gasification. Unlike it, we won’t move from words to action. As crude prices decline, we lose interest.
In Tamilnadu, there is an underground movement that is trying to bring a culture which normalizes ‘Beef eating is okay. But pork eating is dirty and only low class/caste people eat pork’. The government is also appearing to be falling in this trap even though traditionally pork has been eaten widely in Tamilnadu. Tamilnadu should learn from the situation in Mumbai before matters go too far.
It is sad that this piece has invoked paranoia and far fetched conspiracy theories peddled by the far-right. Having grown up in the city, I have seen such unsaid rules segregate people. I have also seen prejudices drive a wedge between people.
The author is pointing out how Mumbaikars must look in the mirror. It is valid. Prejudices exist on all sides of the divide. Perhaps populace needs to be moved away from the respective far-right.
ThePrint has outdone itself again—crying about “vegetarian supremacy” in Mumbai, as if food preference is now a hate crime. This laughable piece is nothing but another elite liberal tantrum dressed up as journalism, throwing around words like “bigotry” to shame Hindus for choosing how and with whom they want to live. Welcome to India, where you can mock Hindu traditions freely but dare not speak a word about real segregation practiced by minority ghettos. The hypocrisy stinks more than the meat they’re so desperate to normalize in every corner.
Let’s be honest—this isn’t about food or housing. It’s about dismantling Hindu identity, brick by brick, culture by culture. The same people who romanticize “halal-only” zones, demand special laws for specific communities, and celebrate ethnic enclaves in the name of diversity, suddenly cry foul when Hindu societies set basic preferences. It’s selective outrage at its absolute worst—an industry built on vilifying the majority and glorifying victimhood politics.
This isn’t journalism; it’s soft Hinduphobic propaganda meant to guilt and gaslight the Hindu middle class into surrendering its way of life. These leftist elites wouldn’t dare call out Islamic or Christian exclusivity, but they foam at the mouth when a Hindu draws a boundary. Enough. Tired of this relentless anti-Hindu spin machine. We don’t need lectures on tolerance from the same crowd that spits venom at Sanatan Dharma while bending over backwards to appease every other group.
How is it that just putting a gate and employing a security sudenly makes that portion eligible for enforcing all kinds of discrimination? Who gives them the right to enforce their prejudice outside the walls of their own flats?
In any other civilised country, people who enforce such “rules” would be thrown in jail for discrimination.
But then…!

Can someone explain how once an inclusive city reached to the current state of an exclusive city?
Mumbai is rich – uber rich. Neither educated nor sophisticated.
