India’s judiciary is collapsing under delays, inconsistency, and lost trust. We explore why a bold fusion of Civil Law, Common Law, and Dharmic principles is the only path to revive justice—and save India’s democracy from slow decay.
Pakistan’s generals thrive on chaos, using endless jihad to justify power while destroying their nation. Today we uncovers how fire, ruin, and perpetual conflict define Pakistan’s strategy, and why understanding this is key to India’s security and regional stability.
China’s new Harmony OS is gearing up to challenge Apple, Microsoft, and Google. While it may not dethrone these giants immediately, its arrival signals that non-US players are entering the operating system race. It reflects China’s ambition to reduce tech dependence on the West with its own options
Rules and rituals in any ancient temple are governed by Agama shastras (read about them here). Treatises which go into the energy consecrated and the geometry of the place. It is a place where energy is used – via prana prathistha (establishing the life force) – to deliver a certain ambiance and environment. Sabarimala is one such place. Some temples are off limits to men and some to women. Not because of any idea of discrimination, but because the Agama way of that place was so designed. It would work only for certain type of people and may cause harm at more subtler levels than physical to others.
If you think this discussion of consecrated energy is some hokey-pokey, then please refer to the experiments by William Tiller, the scientist at Stanford who experimented with using intention established by Buddhist Monks to change the pH value of water in the vicinity of a device “energized” by them. That is the most rudimentary level of consecration.
In the wake of the Supreme Court decision on Sabarimala, there is now an entire movement by those women who have no interest or link with the deity and the temple to go and enter it by force. Just to prove a point.
Libi CS is an atheist. She has no interest in Sabarimala or the deity. And where the whole pilgrimage was a special endeavor where the devotee would observe 45 days of certain Sadhana before setting forth to Sabarimala, now anyone and everyone is trying to enter the place, not out of devotion but out of arrogance and aim to insult.
“Friends, four of us are leaving to Sabarimala today, which includes atheists like me and two devotees. I am not going to Sabarimala because I have any wish to do so.”
She was blocked by the devotees of Lord Ayappa.
On the other hand, Kerala’s Finance minister is calling the protesting devotees of Lord Ayappa against what they feel is desecration of their place of devotion – as terrorists.
Arnab and Republic is god damn angry- for right reasons, a rarity indeed. But remember how many times you abused Kerala as terrorist/ IS hub and no harm befell your reporters. But now that you happen to be on opposite side of real terrorists, you got it. We will book them, sure.
The Kerala government has already done lathi-charge and injured and hit people – men and women while they protested – converting the place into a war zone.
There comes a time when one has to stand for the subtler aspects of life. Those that are not in everyone’s experience but have been the backbone of India’s spiritual history. Immense work has been done in this regard. By beings who were giants amongst humans.
That work is not easily accessible to all. Nor can it be demonstrated and shown to all. It is do with the journey within. It is imperative that those who – even due to tradition – uphold those principles dear so that one day more giants can spring up and share their work with the world can be heard.
Above the din of perfidious and uneducated (in tradition and spiritual ways) Supreme court of India and the many ideologically fanatical “activists”.
When the ceasefire occurred, to many in India it seemed like deja' vu. As if India had lost on the negotiating table, what it had won on the battlefield. Was it really so? Let us analyze.
The terror attack in Pahalgam was not just an assault on India — it was a global strategic move. China, Pakistan, Qatar, and Turkey are working together to bleed India and trap America. If India falls, America has no path left to contain China.
Pahalgam Attack was an Islamist terrorist attack targeting Hindus by Pakistan-backed terror group. It was blatant and terrible in its plan and execution. What happened and why? We evaluate.
