The launch of Rakhshanda Jalil’s ‘Love in the Time of Hate: In the Mirror of Urdu’ brought forth a conversation between poetry, politics, and prejudice.
The Oxfam-Newslaundry report shows how upper castes dominate Indian newsrooms. But journalists like Rajat Sharma, Sudhir Chaudhary and Rahul Kanwal have also emerged as influencers on digital space.
Palwankar Baloo was the greatest Indian cricketer of his time who deserves to be remembered and celebrated for shining through oppressive caste prejudices.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
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.
