Nandan

 Reservation policies in India were created as a ladder toward social equality, especially for marginalized communities. However, upper-caste groups have long tried to misinterpret and undermine this system due to a sense of superiority. These groups have even spread fake data, stirred up protests, and created misleading narratives to challenge reservation. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar introduced reservation with the goal of ensuring equal opportunity, but right-wing politics often complicates this, especially with tactics that intimidate and isolate minority groups by twisting religious interpretations and enforcing discrimination.



This deep-rooted social division affects all levels of Indian society, including local governance. In many villages and Panchayats, caste-based power struggles continue to prevent true representation and access to resources for marginalized groups. The Tamil movie Nandhan highlights this issue, portraying the reality of caste oppression and slavery still present in many rural areas. The film reveals how, despite legal protections, many marginalized communities still face oppression, limited by a system that resists genuine equality

 Person A: Hey, I've been hearing some concerning things about your recent actions. There are rumors that you've been spreading false narratives and deceiving the society. Can you explain what's going on? Person B (Cheater): Oh, come on, those are just rumors. You know how people love to talk. 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...

Collective Efforts for a Better Society

 Social security and social responsibility represent a shared commitment to improving life for all, fostering a culture of unity and empathy. In this pursuit, an honest and just understanding of our society is vital. However, if we succumb to divisive influences, embrace hate, or become vehicles for propaganda, our collective efforts will be in vain. In our quest for a more harmonious world, let us remember that nurturing cohesiveness and empathy is essential. These values, coupled with an unwavering commitment to truth and justice, form the cornerstone of a just and equitable society. Conversely, embracing divisive narratives, false information, and hate-mongering only serves to undermine the very foundations of social security and responsibility. Ultimately, the path to a better future for all lies in our collective choice – to stand for unity, truth, and empathy or to be swayed by division, falsehoods, and hatred. The choice is ours, and it will determine the success of our shar...

Editorial - The Guardian

      B ecoming the world’s most populous nation allows India to burnish its credentials as a global economic and political heavyweight. With a population that is much younger than those of China, the US and the EU, there will be renewed interest in India’s potential to be a beacon of liberal values. The west is eager to draw a democratic giant into its orbit. China and India will together account for about half of all global growth this year. But India risks emulating its bigger northern neighbour’s economic ascent under tight political control by a dominant authoritarian party. Hindu nationalism in India is writing an epitaph for the country’s experiment with multi-ethnic secular democracy. 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 ...
