There is a general tendency for the older generation to look down on the younger. Gen Z may scroll and stream, but it also thinks, questions, and resists. From Ladakh to Nairobi, young voices have sta

Amid stench, pain, and silence, catholic nuns embody love in its purest form—serving the abandoned with grace that mirrors Christ's compassion. Their quiet devotion exposes the emptiness of hate and r

Akin to the movie 'The Mission,' our world today demands prophetic courage to defend the vulnerable, challenge injustice, and become "missionaries of hope." The Church's call is straightforward: every

From Bronx classrooms to Rome's newsrooms, a personal journey through perception and deception.

The Karur stampede that claimed 41 lives exposed the dark side of film-star worship in India. Admiration turning into blind devotion endangers lives, distorts reality, and weakens youth. Cinema, and b

From innovator to inmate, Sonam Wangchuk's journey mirrors India's uneasy relationship with dissent. Once hailed for transforming Ladakh's education and environment, he now sits behind bars under the

Teachers' laments echo through the classrooms. Grades have replaced growth, learning is business, and respect lies buried under parental demands and corporate pressure. We are raising hollow achievers

In classrooms turned pressure cookers, India's children chase ranks instead of dreams. Every exam season claims new victims while forgetting those from the previous season. When success is equated to

From temples to tech platforms, faith today has a price tag. Access to the sacred has become a service, and devotion has become a delivery model. It is time to ask—are we still praising, or merely pri

The shoe hurled at the Chief Justice was more than an act of rage. It was a symptom of a deeper rot. Caste arrogance, coupled with political immunity, made a mockery of the justice system. India's dem

Patience is passion tamed. Certainly, our patience is bound to achieve more than our force. A little patience should allow us to escape much mortification. What we usually forget is Time takes away as

When we stay away from gatherings of peace, are we making a quiet statement that peace is someone else's business? That compassion is an optional virtue? I hope I'm wrong. I hope our absence doesn't s

Rahul Gandhi's warning rings true: India's greatest danger is the assault on its democracy. With institutions captured, dissent criminalised, and elections manipulated, the world's largest democracy r

The so-called "Freedom of Religion Acts" across India betray their name. Instead of protecting conscience and choice, they criminalise faith itself. These are weaponised to persecute minorities and in

Ladakh's cry for justice echoes through the Himalayas—betrayed promises, broken agreements, and bullets fired at its own citizens. Ladakhis now fight to defend their dignity, identity, and right to se

"This book is all about 'being extraordinary' in every significant aspect of life, with the aid of 'ordinary' – down-to-earth – strategies, mind-tools and hands-on techniques. The 30 themes in this ma

I've seen this before — in Germany, in Spain, in many parts of the world. People there don't understand that vegetarianism for many Indians isn't a culinary fad but a sacred conviction. It's not about

The world today rewards arrogance, violence, and deceit, rewriting the Beatitudes for the powerful. Yet history shows that such triumphs are fleeting. True strength lies in respect, moderation, and co

Twenty-two years from now, in 2047, when India marks a hundred years of Independence, let future generations remember that Shri Bhagwant Mann Ji stood for freedom, not fear; for reason, not repression

Hatred and revenge, amplified by politics, technology, and mass media, are eroding democracies and poisoning societies from America to India. Unless citizens demand accountability and reject divisive

The Sangh Parivar's march to a Hindu Rashtra is neither accidental nor benign—it thrives on strife, thrives on mobs, and erodes the soul. To dismiss this as alarmism is to ignore a storm gathering on

Arunachal's youth turned faith into testimony, not coercion. By living dignity and service, they quietly dismantled a law born of cultural anxiety. Their stories show that evangelisation was never abo

By delaying the census and imposing a flawed Special Intensive Review in Bihar, the BJP is weaponising citizenship itself. Ordinary citizens now struggle to prove their very existence, while constitut

As Bengal and other parts of India, where Durga Puja is celebrated, prepare for the immersion of the goddess, the reflection continues to circulate not merely as a viral post, but more as a theologica

Please understand, the louder the noise, the less the truth. The calmer the tone, the greater the honesty. But then comes the real question: where do you tune in? Do you continue to feed on the off
