Court said ED, in proceeding with case, went against its own usual practice of basing its probes on CBI’s FIRs & charge sheets even as the latter remained wary about case’s viability.
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.
From 2 lakh weekly visitors to Rs 250 crore annual donations, Khatu Shyam temple in Rajasthan's Sikar draws massive crowds and investment, with govt pumping Rs 350+ crore into infrastructure.
For many first-generation educated Indians, tele-caller jobs are the easiest to get – even if it means being paid pittance for day-long calls about loans, phones, modelling.
Many of today's achievers in diverse fields like politics, media, sports, cinema, technology, high finance, business, NGOs, are much younger than before and nobody's complaining.
In a seminal work, former military officers Lt. Gen. D.S. Hooda & Lt. Col. Pavithran Rajan put forth a framework to approach cognitive warfare, called Socio-Technical-Cognitive Battlespace.
India, China and Russia share more contradictions than congruence. Each has a different worldview, as also a different adversary. The rude fact is that BRICS is the most irrelevant of all such groupings.
Many assume that India has a single “culture.” It’s not. Earlier also people from different regions were following their own culture, but the homogenising groups with their own idea of “Indian culture” never recognised it. May of these advocates of “Indian culture” were the “sanskaris” who were going around condemning young couples holding hands
The point is the original author Karanjeet Kaur did not diagnose what cultural notes make one conservative. Gen Z doesn’t have the material resources for self expression like millennial and Gen X. As the old saying goes “don’t kill a mockingbird” – yet we should see the ground level impact of it. Many “trad” Gen Z will have a girlfriend of the opposite caste whose parents are not allowing for marriage; many liberal Gen Z also follow orthodox rules within their private lives. This contradiction will only turn to nuance as Gen Z gets older – the original author only participates in killing the mockingbird for now.

Also yes “Sainik Farm aunties” was the absolute limit of depravity. Completely loaded with sub-zero substance, brimming with stigma.
I have a by-now oft-used phrase for this situation – I am happy to have ‘granny hobbies’ or sound like ‘auntie’. My grannies and aunts were among the wisest people, so, as I say when someone terms me one, ‘Taken as a compliment!’
