Lost land of secularism

The failure to halt the Babri demolition and the subsequent temple construction, while upholding the principles of secularism, demonstrates a political strategy laced with divisive tactics. Let us mobilize our social commitment to unite against the rise of divisive forces and safeguard our democratic values.

In the pursuit of harmony, it falls upon the collective conscience of society to safeguard social stability, for institutions merely serve as conduits to either amplify or silence voices. The mantle of responsibility now rests firmly with the populace, as the highest judicial authorities, in a rare press conference, conveyed that it is the wisdom and will of the people that should guide the course of our collective destiny.

It's important to express your concerns about communal tensions and the importance of unity in a diverse society. Promoting dialogue, understanding, and peaceful coexistence can be ways to address such issues and work towards a more harmonious society.

Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) has weakened institutions meant to keep the state both transparent and accountable. Information is censored, civil society hounded and protests suppressed. It is absurd that opposition leaders have been targeted to the ...

I'm just sharing alternative viewpoints and shedding light on hidden truths that the mainstream doesn't want you to know. Person A: Alternative viewpoints are one thing, but there's a fine line between that and spreading outright false information. I've seen evidence that suggests you've been manipulating facts to fit your narrative. Why would you do that? Person B: Look, the truth isn't always black and white. Sometimes you have to bend the facts a little to get people to see the bigger picture. The society has been blinded for too long by the established norms. I'm just trying to wake them up and make them question things. Person A: I understand the impor...
