They Only See Caste, Not the Religion

 They Only See Caste, Not the Religion In India’s deeply stratified society, caste often overshadows every other identity—even religion. The recent lynching of Hariom, a 38-year-old Dalit man in Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh, is a brutal reminder of this truth. Hariom, who reportedly had Down syndrome, was falsely accused of theft while walking to his in-laws’ home. A mob surrounded him, beat him with belts and sticks, and hurled casteist slurs. In a viral video, he can be heard faintly saying “Rahul Gandhi,” hoping for help, while his attackers laughed and invoked political slogans. His religion didn’t protect him. His disability didn’t soften them. His caste sealed his fate. This tragedy is not an isolated case. According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), over 50,000 crimes against Scheduled Castes (Dalits) were reported in 2022 alone. Uttar Pradesh accounted for nearly 25% of these cases. These crimes range from murder and rape to public humiliation and social boycotts. W...

When the Fourth Pillar Becomes the Lever: Media’s Role in Undermining Democratic Independence

 When the Fourth Pillar Becomes the Lever: Media’s Role in Undermining Democratic Independence   By Parminder Singh Bhamba  India’s democracy was built on four foundational pillars: the Legislature, Executive, Judiciary, and Media. Each was intended to function autonomously, creating a system of checks and balances that safeguards the public interest. Yet today, this architecture is being reshaped—not through reform, but through influence. The media, once the vigilant watchdog of democracy, has transformed into a lever that tilts the remaining pillars toward the convenience of those in power. This shift is neither accidental nor benign; it is strategic, systemic, and deeply consequential. The Legislature , envisioned as a forum for debate and representation, now operates under increasing executive pressure. Parliamentary procedures are streamlined to fast-track bills with minimal scrutiny, opposition voices are routinely sidelined, and sessions often resemble ceremon...

$100,000 H-1B Visa Fee: A Punishing Blow to Indian Talent and a Mirror to Foreign Policy Failure

In a stunning and deeply troubling development, the United States has announced a new $100,000 annual fee on H-1B visa petitions for foreign workers entering the country, effective September 21, 2025. This policy, signed into effect by President Donald Trump, has triggered panic across India’s professional class and exposed the glaring failures of India’s foreign policy. For decades, Indian talent has been the backbone of the H-1B program, contributing over 70% of its skilled workforce. From software engineers and doctors to researchers and educators, Indian professionals have powered American innovation and filled critical gaps in its economy. Now, they are being priced out, penalized, and pushed aside — not because of merit, but because of nationality. The implications are devastating. Middle-class aspirants who have spent years preparing for U.S. opportunities now face an insurmountable financial barrier. Families are being torn apart, with H-1B holders currently abroad scrambling t...

"Faith - Law - Custody " understanding the sandeep singh case.

Sandeep Singh, also known as Sunny, was arrested for the killing of Sudhir Suri, a controversial leader of Shiv Sena (Taksali), on November 4, 2022. Many in the Sikh community believe Sandeep acted out of deep emotional and religious pain, as Sudhir Suri had repeatedly insulted Sikhism and spoken disrespectfully about Sikh Gurus. Videos of Suri’s offensive remarks had circulated online, causing widespread anger. For Sandeep, this was not just a crime—it was a reaction to what he saw as a direct attack on his faith. After his arrest, Sandeep was kept in Patiala Jail. On September 10, 2025, he reportedly attacked three retired police officers inside the jail—two of whom had been convicted for killing Sikh youths in fake encounters. This incident triggered what his family describes as brutal retaliation. From September 10 onward, Sandeep was allegedly beaten severely by jail officials. His brother and legal counsel claimed he was tortured physically and mentally, denied medical care, and ...

Bangladesh and Nepal: A Coordinated Crisis in South Asia?

In the span of just over a year, two South Asian nations—Bangladesh and Nepal—have witnessed youth-led uprisings that toppled long-standing governments. The similarities between these movements are too precise to ignore, prompting analysts to ask: Is this a coordinated crisis? And is it being shaped by forces beyond the region? In Bangladesh, the spark came in July 2024 when students protested a 30% civil service quota reserved for descendants of 1971 war veterans. What began as a demand for fairness quickly escalated into a nationwide movement against nepotism and authoritarianism. The group Students Against Discrimination mobilized thousands, and the digital symbol of resistance—a red profile picture—spread like wildfire. Within weeks, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned, and Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus was appointed interim leader. The military stepped in to stabilize the transition. Fast forward to Nepal, September 2025. A government ban on 26 social media platforms triggered o...
