Reality of the Cities


For the last few months, I’ve been staying in Delhi and working in Gurgaon. What I’ve seen and felt is a strange mix of hypocrisy and mediocrity.


India is a land of diversity—mixed, divided, yet vibrant. But in its cities, the divide feels much sharper. On one side, there are the poor, pushed further into poverty. On the other, the rich, living in their own bubble, not caring much about the struggles outside. Each class has its own problems, but the gap between them is painfully visible.


What makes it worse is the failure of administration. The social ecosystem has not been maintained with justice. Everyone pays taxes in different forms, yet the condition of the cities tells another story.


Step into a gully, a remote lane, or the backside of any city, and you’ll see the truth—pathetic living conditions, broken infrastructure, no sense of hygiene or sanitation. At night, many people sleep in rickshaws, on footpaths, or under flyovers. Nobody cares. Nobody shows this reality.


Bollywood sells dreams. Sometimes it shows bits of real life, but mostly it projects the world of the rich. The everyday struggles of the common man remain hidden.


Floods, earthquakes, communal tensions, political propaganda—all these keep hitting the people. But beyond all that, it is the living conditions and collapsing economy that silently crush lives. And the worst part? The ones who suffer most are the ones who don’t have a voice.


This is my experience. This is the reality of our cities.

India's Communal Harmony and Media Landscape

Recent developments in India have raised significant concerns regarding communal harmony, the role of law enforcement, and the dissemination of misinformation. Below is an overview of these issues, supported by recent news and reports, to inform and educate the public on these critical matters: 1. Supreme Court's Stance on Mosque Demolition Petitions The Supreme Court of India has addressed petitions concerning the demolition of mosques, emphasizing the importance of adhering to legal procedures and maintaining communal harmony. In 2019, while awarding disputed land to Hindu groups, the Court declared the demolition of the Babri Masjid as an illegal act. This stance underscores the judiciary's commitment to upholding the rule of law and protecting religious structures. 2. Communal Riots and Allegations of Police Bias Recent communal riots in states like Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh have raised concerns about police impartiality. Reports suggest that law enforcement agencies have b...

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.

Public Departments!!

We have so many departments reigned by the government. Unfortunately the needed won't get the fruits from those big trees. But the system got corrupted and the elected members [ministers/politicians] only gets the benefits. So what the electors want to do? NEXT IS WHAT??? Simply NEXT IS REVOLUTION - SOCIAL REFORMATION We don't have a Gandhiji or Ambedkar to come and protest against the socio-economic evils The real agitation is nothing, but the people must aware of all these evils also the IPC, Indian Penal Code. People must know what all are their social rights. We have the building blocks as men and women, but the building, the society is not yet complted its work..!!
