VS Ramachandran is popularly known in American intellectual circles as a “latter-day Marco Polo.” He was also in Newsweek’s list of “100 Most Prominent People to Watch in the 21st Century.”
Pakistan's SSG team was not adequately provisioned for the inclement weather. If it managed to consolidate its position, the story of Siachen would have been different.

This special edition of Cut The Clutter, straight from the Siliguri corridor, details the strategic importance of the narrow strip of land in West Bengal, and how it’s a vital link connecting the Northeast to the rest of India.
American objectives are unmet. They neither have muscle nor motivation to resume the war. As for Iran, the regime didn’t just survive, it’s now led by more radical individuals.
This opinion piece is a textbook example of agenda-driven journalism masquerading as cultural criticism. The author uses Deepak Chopra’s indefensible emails as a convenient excuse to launch a sweeping attack on Hindu spiritual figures and traditions—while conspicuously ignoring comparable or worse scandals across other religious communities.
Let’s be clear: Chopra’s comments were reprehensible, and he deserves scrutiny. But notice how quickly the author pivots from one individual’s misconduct to indicting an entire “guru-industrial complex,” dragging in Rajneesh and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to paint all Eastern spiritual teachers with the same brush. This is intellectual laziness at best, deliberate malice at worst.
Where is this same energy when Catholic priests, bishops, and cardinals are convicted of systemic child abuse spanning decades? Where are the searing op-eds about the “Church-industrial complex”? Where is the outrage over documented cases of sexual abuse in madrasas by Islamic clerics? These aren’t hypotheticals—they’re well-documented scandals involving thousands of victims. Yet they receive no mention here.
The author’s closing line—”God is a construct but the system that insulates men like Deepak Chopra is very real”—reveals her true agenda. This isn’t about accountability or protecting victims. It’s about using one man’s failures to delegitimize Hindu spirituality itself, while conveniently ignoring that systems protecting predatory religious figures exist across ALL traditions.
If your concern is genuine—if you truly care about holding spiritual authorities accountable—then apply that standard consistently. Critique abuse wherever it occurs, not just when it allows you to take potshots at Sanatana Dharma. Otherwise, this isn’t journalism. It’s selective outrage in service of prejudice.
Chopra may have responded inadequately, but at least he responded. Show me the mullahs and bishops who’ve shown similar accountability. I’ll wait.
**Disclaimer or not, publishing myopic hit pieces like this on a media platform doesn’t make them legitimate analysis—it just amplifies bias.**

Feel free to adjust the tone or emphasis as needed.
I agree that Chopra is a fake who translated indian Vedic texts pretending to be original that were a revelation for the West.
But we can’t paint the whole clan black . There are genuine spiritual teachers from India who have a universal holistic wellbeing approach and are helping uplift humanity – I know at least 2 – Sadhguru and Amma (pls research them yourself and perhaps take one of the programs with Isha to make up your mind) . Thank you !
Once again….
