CPI(ML) Liberation won 12 seats in Bihar despite relentless propaganda through terms such as ‘Naxalites’, ‘terrorist sympathisers’, ‘China-funded Maoists’, 'tukde-tukde gang'.
About 100 of 258 families who fled Mirchpur were given plots near Dhandoor village on 15 October. The new colony has been named after BJP's ideological icon Deendayal Upadhyaya.
BJP's image among Dalits has suffered a dent due to Adityanath's Thakurwaadi image while Congress has failed to go beyond tokenism. This could help Mayawati, but for Azad's rise.
Citing details from ThePrint article analysing two reports related to the Dalit scholarship 'scam', Sukhpal Singh Khaira said probe should be conducted by a sitting HC judge.
Attacking the Yogi Adithyanath govt over Hathras gang-rape case, Rahul Gandhi said the shameful truth is many Indians do not consider Dalits, Muslims and tribals to be human.
In an affidavit filed before Supreme Court, UP govt has requested for a probe to dispel ‘false narrative’ to ‘malign the image of the state government on social media’.
As part of the mission to be launched in October with special focus on yuva voters, JD(U) will showcase work done by Nitish Kumar for Dalits via booklets, conferences & meetings.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
PTC Industries is investing Rs 1,000 cr in 4 manufacturing plants in UP, has already started supplying titanium parts to BAE Systems for its M-777 howitzers that India also uses.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
Hurting religious sentiment is a misnomer. Please don’t throw bricks at me. What I say applies to ALL religions. Sentimentality is an emotional state disproportionate to the situation, and thus replaces extreme and generally unthinking feeling for normal ethical and intellectual judgment. Psychologically sentiment is an abnormal condition. While there can be a condition of religious sentiment, being abnormal it cannot be hurt but only aggravated. Being abnormal it is better for the society (all religions) to ignore such situations, especially any depiction in ANY art form – in print (Not The Print), screen or spoken. In time, the abnormality will all go away on its own.
Can India as a Nation, with its diversity, progress emotionally and evolve, if there are no debates on the pros and cons of ALL religions, beliefs and faiths?
Tail piece: Is religious freedom more empowering than freedom from religion? Does your religion restrict your thinking rather than free it?
your last paragraph has the bourgeoisie and the proletariat defined incorrectly, it’s actually the opposite, the bourgeoisie are the industrialists/royals/nobles and the proletariat are the working class.
Basically Tandav producers and script writers were looking to create controversy to gain publicity .
Well a stint in jail under current laws for purposefully creating disharmony will give them and their rabid SUPPORTERS in media a picture what free publicity with extra benefits means
“Besides, Kailash Kumar is also shown to be passive who never replies despite being humiliated multiple times. Such depiction of Dalit characters is common in Bollywood and is only getting pointed out now.”
“For example, in the web series, Sandhya Nigam realises in the end that her husband was ‘right’ about lower caste men.”
I wonder,
Even after 70+ yrs of Independence and all the education, Why SC,ST,OBC failed to form a Political Party to represent their cause and dominate country politics?
“Why SC,ST,OBC failed to form a Political Party to represent their cause and dominate country politics” — because SC, ST, OBC are just categories created by government, on ground, there are thousands of endogamous jaatis with each major jaati wanting to control power. Only a stupid would look at these thousand of endogamous, heterogenous groups through a binary lens of oppressor abd oppressed. Besides, there are caste based parties which have dominated state elections.
Guess this is what a PhD does to an otherwise sane human being. Overthinking on silly statements from irrelevant social dramas, movies etc. and converting it into this long dirge. Guess common sense is rare. Having just spent a part of my life reading this guess I am equally senseless.
Both Tandav and Mirzapur are examples of bad TV in all respects. Both are entirely lacking in any creative energy and are crude and stale imitations of 1980 Bollywood movies. I am surprised that Amazon backed these ventures.
Mr Raghu: Whilst you are absolutely entitled to your opinions, I guess, by the same token, Amazon is equally entitled to place its financial bets on whatever entertainment projects it feels might give it a return on investment. And the more the Hindutva monkeys scream about hurt feelings and so on, the more the publicity for the series.
Correct me if I am wrong Sir !
Now liberandus are twisting facts since their argument saying mocking Hindu god is all fine ,has no takers .Now they are trying to build a narrative that caste is the problem and trying devide Hindu
