These were the battles we thought we’d already fought. The slow recognition that caste is a plague upon Indian society. The hard-won right to choose your own partner.
Sanskar Bharati asks participants to send reels and memes on topics such as ‘Untouchability a curse’ and ‘Reservation’, in bid to 'encourage youth to do their bit for society'.
A bad turn in Venezuela would raise the same questions that have dogged the unlawful US strikes against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean: Why now, and why at all?
The concern is not that 2025’s rally was irrational, but that it may be difficult to repeat. Outlooks remain anchored to AI investment and growth without reigniting inflation.
If deal goes through, Greece will be 2nd foreign country to procure vehicle. Morocco was first; TATA Group has set up manufacturing unit there with minimum 30 percent indigenous content.
Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
You are trying to show bhajan rave are reason for castiesm…why can’t be out of your leftist agenda and you call yourself neutral. What type of journalism is this. This is thought process which is ending the secularism of this count6. This is hinduphobic. I’ve not completely read this bcz initial paras were enough.
Shekar Gupta sir , who is the editor in you organisation.
Her only problem is that Hindus are getting together in Bhajan concerts and embracing their religious + cultural identity devoid off other fault lines carefully created by the media , films and politics , that’s all
All this lecture is so that Hindus don’t unite and celebrate their identity , she will have different yardsticks for other religions ,
Not sure what the Bharatiya public should be doing instead, according to Ms Kaur.
Maybe fake western pop-psychology and astrology or Arabic “falakiyat” (a misleading term because it equates ज्योतिष = फलज्योतिष and is anyway riddled with pseudoscience), qawwali raves, metal rock, pop, jazz, western fad fashions that sexualise women (because “mera jism meri marzi”) or its converse “mera burqa meri marzi”, durbari adabo aadaab, and refined English (and increasingly American) tastes – except in food, *biryani fitratan Karachi ki (beef) biryani hoti hai* – symbolise smashing conservatism?
Bhajans and keertans; naaM and JaaP are intrinsic to Indian religions. Ms Kaur herself should know this as she bears a conservative name. In fact Bhajans are the furthest thing from conservative — it is the simplest yet expansive tool for the mind to declutter and clarify. But here she denigrates it ! So who is conservative ? Some of India’s greatest feminist heroes like Meera Bai and Lal Ded were soaked 24/7 in NaaM, JaaP and Bhajans. But guess Ms Kaur finds them conservative.
Good to see Gen Z getting to roots and happy life not to materialistic depressed lifestyle of west.
Also Gen Z not falling to propaganda of media in the name of opinions, liberalism, wokeism etc.,
Bhajan clubbing is nice. Caste based discrimination is wrong. The problem is that even now, the author and other liberals cannot discriminate between the two shows ,whats wrong with privileged liberals. Sadly liberalism does not have organic roots in our society.
i think this is a direct result of BJP’s cultural indoctrination that they have been doing since 12 years.

Utterly lamentable and heartbreaking to see these sort of regression.

Liberals lost the plot by defending stuff like Hijab & burkini.
And saying men, dressed up ones, can enter women’s toilet.
And the “goat” one being about a peaceful religion attacking all other religions.
