When 15-year-old Jyoti Kumari took her ailing father on her bicycle and drove 1,200 kms over seven days, she didn’t know she would become a global celebrity.
Invoking Bengali pride has been one of the distinct traits of West Bengal’s politicians, whether it is to duck criticism on Covid or play the language card.
India’s Muslims are helping the poor with food and supplies, ignoring the vilification, hate and slander that targeted the community during Ramzan and months leading up to it.
It is often hard to defend Donald Trump, even when he has been wronged. But here's why Nancy Pelosi calling him 'morbidly obese' is also a major issue.
Social media platforms should be held accountable for hate speech, but demanding a TikTok ban proves that your anger is misplaced and your approach is myopic.

The writer has a great point. Sociey commends this young girl for the sacrifices she made during her struggle but will eventually land back at square one after all has been said and done cause the social system won’t conform for those living in poverty. Reminds me of the child stars of Slumdog Millionaire who are still living in the slums.
Every cloud has a silver lining. Remaining perpetually in a depressed victimhood mood will not take us anywhere. Covid will be with us for many years to come. Meanwhile, we will not stop living. All that is best in us humans will always be praised- covid or no-covid. These individuals are the new heroes and need all support & appreciation from everybody. World will also appreciate them as always happens & let us not be ashamed to give our heroes their rightful dues. There should be clear difference between living in Covid times & travelling down guilt lane.
I disagree with your point of being stuck in a victimhood.
If you are stuck in a quicksand you will need help to get unstuck. The individual who is stuck may never get themselves unstuck.
Let’s be our brothers and sisters keepers.
The world becomes more sweet.
