The LGBTQ+ community—Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and many other identities—represents the diversity of human experience. Gender and sexuality are not rigid categories; they exist on a wide spectrum. Yet, despite their natural presence across cultures and history, LGBTQ+ individuals have often been pushed to the margins, silenced, or criminalized.

Why is Special Intensive Revision (SIR) crucial for India's future growth? SIR, which stands for Special Intensive Revision, is a special campaign under which the Election Commission thoroughly verifies, corrects, and updates the electoral rolls (voter list) of a state or a region.

Indian Media in Crisis : When Telling the Truth Becomes a Life-Threatening Act The Indian media landscape stands today at one of its most fragile and combustible moments since independence. Once celebrated as a fearless pillar of democracy, capable of challenging the most powerful institutions in the country, the media has increasingly come under political, economic, and criminal pressures that have altered not only its functioning but also its fundamental character. The decl

When silence becomes normal, injustice becomes tradition." Durgapur, a village in Bihar, silently carries this reality every single day. It is not just a rural village, but a mirror of political failure. It looks peaceful from the outside, but this peace is not harmony, it is the result of long-term neglect. It is a village with partial resources secured for the upper class. People’s voices have been neglected. The hierarchy here is not only social, it is political. The dista

The poor air quality of the capital has now become a new normal for the citizens and the Delhiites. New Delhi's air quality has perpetually been poor to very poor with each passing season. Delhi's air pollution is a dual threat, simultaneously a health crisis and a climate issue, as greenhouse gases are not only pollutants but also contribute to the climate crisis. The Health Crisis: Delhi's air consistently records dangerously high levels of pollutants such as particulate ma

The US–Pakistan relations have always been an episode of LOVE and Hate, demand and supply, and being used and abused. According to Anatol Lieven, the author of the book PAKISTAN: A HARD COUNTRY, “The US–Pakistan relations that have developed with ups and downs over the last six and a half decades can probably be best characterized as a security (or military) related form of clientelism, a relationship of dependence based on a reciprocal exchange of favours between two people,

The Constitution as a Synthesis of Competing Visions The Assembly did not choose one vision over another but engineered a constitutional system that incorporated these tensions productively. The framework proposed by Alladi Krishnaswamy Iyer , which balanced strong state power with robust individual rights, is a prime example. His advocacy for "reasonable restrictions" on Fundamental Rights was not merely a legal technicality; it was a profound recognition that the state's d

This article revisits the Constituent Assembly Debates to uncover how India’s framers imagined both the nation and its Constitution. Moving beyond a simple legal history, it analyzes key speeches by Nehru, Ambedkar, Patel, Hansa Mehta, Frank Anthony and others to show how they grappled with two intertwined challenges: holding together a deeply diverse country, and dismantling entrenched social hierarchies of caste, class, gender and community.

Gender inequality, though often discussed in modern terms, has deep historical and evolutionary roots. In early human societies, life was nomadic and survival-driven. Without formal laws or organized governance, roles developed naturally based on biological differences. Men, being physically stronger, engaged in hunting, fighting, and protecting the group, while women—due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, and childcare—remained near the shelter, gathering food and nurturing young

"Rare Earth Minerals"— are not the very newest terms in the world of geopolitics and media, but they remain at the root of all the major economies. Almost 30 years ago, China's former leader Deng Xiaoping, famously stated, "The Middle East has oil; China has rare earths," highlighting China's vast reserves of these strategic minerals and kickstart a long-term strategy to dominate the global rare earth industry. But why do these minerals hold such significance? In reality, the

Young people are the undeniable backbone and promise of any nation. Considering the political conditions today, their active engagement is a crucial ingredient for democratic growth and the building of inclusive, future-focused policies. Since political frameworks profoundly determine our living conditions, political awareness, knowledge, and participation are non-negotiable. Yet, despite their immense potential, many youths remain disengaged or skeptical about the political

As the world approaches COP30, expectations are high for a summit that must deliver more than rhetoric and photo opportunities. The urgency of the climate crisis demands concrete commitments and credible follow-through. For COP30 to mark a true turning point, it must confront several critical challenges head-on.

Cricket is not just a game for India; it is an emotion that unites the nation irrespective of language, social class, and cultural disparities, often described as a religion. However, this emotion is seen through a male lens. But after decades of immense struggle and incremental progress, the Indian cricket team finally claimed their first ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup on 2 November 2025 by defeating South Africa at Navi Mumbai. In doing so, the team not only brought the Worl

In Bihar, time is once again proving to be the greatest game-changer. As the 2025 assembly elections draw near, the political atmosphere in the state has reached a boiling point—not just due to the usual pre-election hustle, but thanks to the recently passed Waqf Amendment Bill. This piece of legislation, rushed through Parliament during late-night sessions, has set off a chain reaction of debates, realignments, and fractures, positioning Bihar as the epicenter of a political
