BRS leader K.T. Rama Rao has accused Congress govt of spending Rs 200 cr on the international Miss World pageant 'while crops are wilting, farmers are ending their lives'.
Last edition of the beauty pageant held in India, in 1996, was opposed by groups including BJP & rocked by protests. But organisers have laid ground for very different approach this time.
Miss America, Miss World, and Miss Universe pageants have drilled rigid beauty ideals into the collective psyche of women and men, generation after generation.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
