Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one.

Epitome of equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone .

I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...

Why do bookshop stories comfort us? Review of Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop

You often reach for gentle stories when life feels heavy. This long-form review looks at Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and its sequel as one continuous experience. It reflects on heartbreak, books, and belonging, while questioning the books’ depth, popularity, and emotional staying power. Comfort is guaranteed. Impact is debated. Why do we turn to quiet books when life feels unbearably loud? Have you noticed how, when everything feels too noisy, too demanding, and too sharp, you do not want fireworks from a book ? You want a chair by a window, a cup of tea gone slightly cold, and a story that does not ask much of you. That is usually when novels like Days at the Morisaki Bookshop find you, not the other way around. You reach for these books when your own thoughts feel cluttered. When ambition has tired you out. When grief does not announce itself loudly but sits beside you like an awkward guest who refuses to leave. Satoshi Yagisawa’s Morisaki Bookshop series arrives wrapped in...
