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.

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.

The Rise of Nazi Germany (1930s),
The gradual erosion of democratic institutions in Germany under Adolf Hitler was met with little sustained resistance.
