In his farewell address on Wednesday, President Joe Biden warned that a dangerous concentration of power is emerging in America, with tech billionaires forming a new oligarchy that threatens democracy, basic rights, and fair opportunities. He echoed President Dwight Eisenhower's 1961 warning about a "military-industrial complex," highlighting the rising influence of figures like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who have accumulated immense wealth and power. Biden expressed concerns about the potential rise of a "tech-industrial complex," warning that it could endanger the country by fueling misinformation and weakening the free press. He emphasized the growing challenges posed by unchecked social media and the collapse of fact-checking mechanisms.

As Martin Luther King Jr. observed, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

These days, all you hear is one word- disenchantment

Indian politics is deeply rooted in kinship, caste, religion, and family networks- all of which favor political insiders.

When the rich get tax cuts and the poor get budget cuts, that's not economics- it's politics.

We created the economy and now suffer its consequences. We discovered fire, then built the wheel. We invented the computer, and it now controls us. We harnessed nuclear power, and it threatens us. We reached the moon, and now we aim for Mars. And now, we face the dangers of AI. Humanity’s greatest threat may be the very progress we’ve made.

We, people often see things in black and white, especially in research. They assume that only people who experience a problem can truly understand it. For example, only Dalits can write about Dalit issues, or only disabled people can understand disability. While lived experience is important, outsiders with empathy can also contribute meaningful insights.

where are today's songs of mausam? In an age where weather is measured in AQI, temperature graphs, and climate alerts, the romance of seasons has faded. "Fiza," once rich with meaning—from air to the entire environment—has disappeared from our songs.Love, once felt in the air, now flickers on screens, compressed into digital texts, emojis, and fleeting notifications.
Our era of climate anxiety might sing not of cool breezes and moonlit nights, but of smog-filled skies and rising heat: "Yeh raatein, yeh mausam, nadi ka kinara… yeh dhool aur dhuaan?"
As the seasons change—not just metaphorically but irreversibly—how will love adapt? Will it find new ways to breathe, beyond the numbers on a weather app?

When the state controls the economy, people often seek freedom elsewhere

The West is Changing- But Who Will Lead? Dm instagram.com/sociology_official

Sociology is not about controlling society- it is about noticing the patterns, forces, and relationships that were always shaping us.

In India and many other societies, boys are often favored over girls, particularly in nutrition, education, and healthcare.

America does not have a single, traditional culture. It was formed by people from different parts of the world who came together and built a new country.

Agree?

Far-right movements exploit public frustration, using race, religion, and nationalism as rallying points, further accelerating the decline of the West.
