Column, Politics & SocialIndia, Indian Farmers suiciding, Mental Health, Suicide, Sushant Singh Rajput

Written by : Prarthona Saha Photo credit : shutterstock.com While researching about mental health, I came across a certain line several times, i.e. mental illness is more common than cancer, diabetes, or heart disease. And that got me thinking, I might know many people who have had physical diseases but how many of us actually know or have heard of someone suffering from mental illness? If it is this common, how come it is so unheard of? The stigma is real, especially in a country like India. Mental illness is still a taboo. The dichotomous nature of the Indian society…

EconomicsAAP, BJP, INC, Independent India, India, Jawaharlal Nehru, Mahatma Gandhi, Manhoman Singh, Narendra Modi, Sardar Patel

Written by : Pooja Sharma Photo credit : Shutterstock.com India had travelled a long way before we finally achieved independence. British had conquered India following the Battle of Plassey in 1757. The East India Company then ruled a more substantial part of India. The East India company invaded India and made it a colony with the aim of profit-making and exploitation.

Even though the Crown was based on utilitarian principles, it…

Written by : Dr. Anjan Chakrabarti Photo credit : Shutterstock.com With our independence, we emerged as a democratic, pluralist, federal, secular, and socialist country, or nation. The 42nd Amendment Act of Constitution added the words socialist and secular in 1976. However, in the last 72 years, the way Indian body polity changed substantially.

Abu- a personal account with a political bearing

Art & CultureAbu, Arshad Khan, Canada, Documentary, Gay, Homosexuality, Immigration, India, Indo-Pak, Islam, LGBT, LGBTQI, Pakistan

Written by: Shreya Seth Kolkata, India Film Review: Abu Country: Canada-Pakistan Director:Arshad Khan The camera is a beautiful device that succinctly captures and retains all that our restless vision and cramped memories cannot. However, it might seem to be losing its charm in a world that is predominantly obsessed with capturing everyday life, not with the intention to retain or revisit, perhaps to abide to a false sense of self- portrayal and self-validation. Amidst these changes, Arshad Khan's documentary 'Abu' comes as a refreshing take on personal life told primarily through a camera that is not a mere intruder or…

Written By: D P Satish New Delhi, India Photo: Shutterstock “India is not only our closest friend, it is our largest trading partner”. With those words, Maldives’ newly elected President Ibrahim Solih shut the door on a bitter past with its closest and biggest neighbor, promising to respect India’s “red lines” that his predecessor Abdulla Yameen had transgressed by his dalliance with China. Yameen was widely expected to win the September election since he had jailed or exiled his political rivals, suborned the judiciary and reportedly, packed the Election Commission with his supporters. As it turned out, he lost with…
