Far-right movements are political groups or ideologies that support extreme nationalism, authoritarianism, and traditionalist values. They often oppose immigration, diversity, and liberal democratic principles, believing in a strong, centralized state that enforces strict laws and cultural uniformity.
Some far-right movements also promote conspiracy theories, reject globalization, and sometimes glorify a past era that they see as better than the present. In extreme cases, they may be linked to racism, xenophobia, or even violence. Examples include neo-Nazi groups in Germany, white nationalist movements in the U.S., and ultra-nationalist parties in Europe.

Feminism has enabled progress, yet systemic struggles remain.

Human exceptionalism is the belief that humans are distinctively superior and qualitatively different from other animals, with a special role on Earth, and often implying a moral or ontological boundary between humans and nature.

Renaming as Symbolic Resistance and Identity Assertion
The act of renaming the "Americano" coffee to "Canadiano" in response to U.S. trade tariffs reflects a form of symbolic resistance, where language is used to express political dissent. This mirrors historical instances like the U.S. renaming "French fries" to "freedom fries" during tensions with France, showing how everyday cultural symbols become politicized. Such renaming is not just about protest but also about reinforcing national identity in response to perceived economic or political threats.
From a sociological perspective, this practice aligns with cultural nationalism, where communities emphasize their distinct identity through symbolic acts. It also relates to social identity theory, as nations distinguish themselves from others by reshaping cultural markers. While these changes may seem minor, they can influence collective consciousness, shaping public discourse and reinforcing political narratives. This example highlights how language, consumer behavior, and geopolitics intersect, demonstrating that even everyday choices-like the name of a coffee-can become powerful tools for expressing solidarity and resistance.

History shows that Western countries support their allies only as long as it benefits them. When their priorities change, they often abandon those allies.
As Karl Marx said, "History repeats itself- first as a tragedy, then as a farce."

Trump's ego-driven leadership will damage global stability and that India must prepare to fend for itself.

West Bengal reported 109 caste atrocity cases in 2022, far lower than 12,287 in Uttar Pradesh, but low stats don’t mean high equality. Dalit invisibility, underreporting, and normalized discrimination persist due to historical class-based politics and lack of caste mobilization. Structural barriers, symbolic exclusion, and institutional neglect continue, making caste oppression less visible but deeply rooted.

Dalit Invisibility!!!

Imagine walking into a classroom where everyone’s voice seems to matter-except yours. The teacher’s gaze glides past you during discussions, your name is never called to answer, and your contributions are quietly overlooked. No harsh words, no outright exclusion- just subtle discrimination, weaving silence around you like an invisible wall.

History shows that when one war enters a temporary ceasefire, another conflict often flares up elsewhere. This could be due to shifting geopolitical priorities, strategic moves by major powers, or even unintended coincidences.

Vinod Kumar Shukla Wins 59th Jnanpith Award for His Literary Simplicity and Sensitivity
Renowned Hindi writer Vinod Kumar Shukla has been named the recipient of the 59th Jnanpith Award, India’s highest literary honor. The 88-year-old author, known for his simple yet profound storytelling, is the first winner from Chhattisgarh and the 12th Hindi writer to receive the award.
Shukla’s notable works include Naukar Ki Kameez, which explores professional hierarchies, and Khilega Toh Dekhenge, a novel about a teacher in a village with eccentric residents. His writing is celebrated for capturing the lives of ordinary people and their struggles with deep humanism.
Despite his literary achievements, Shukla expressed regret over the vast amount of writing he still wishes to complete. He failed Hindi in school, which unexpectedly led him to literature. His journey was influenced by Hindi writer Gajanan Madhav Muktibodh, who encouraged him early on.
Shukla’s poetry revolutionized Hindi literature by focusing on language and emotions rather than political or social commentary. His works, such as Deewar Mein Ek Khidki Rehti Thi and the poem Sab Kuch Hona Bacha Rahega, highlight hope, love, and the beauty of ordinary lives.

India should learn from history, acknowledging both its dark and inspiring chapters rather than erasing it.

It was about power, not just faith.

The viral Facebook post by Kerala’s Chief Secretary, Sarada Muraleedharan, highlighted this issue when someone compared her tenure to being “as black as her husband’s was white.


Colorism in India is closely tied to caste and historical biases. From childhood, people are conditioned to associate fairness with attractiveness, intelligence, and success. This bias extends into media representation, beauty standards, and job opportunities. Society’s to embrace all forms of beauty and dismantle long-standing prejudices. The real change must start with children, ensuring they grow up free from biases about skin color and other discriminatory hierarchies.
