  The case for mandatory registration Transparency advocates argue that any organisation operating at this scale, with millions of members, real estate holdings, and significant social influence, should be subject to the same disclosure regime as registered societies, trusts, or NGOs: published accounts, named office-bearers, and disclosed funding sources. For the RSS, critics note that its "unincorporated body of individuals" status lets it avoid disclosure requirements that apply to its own affiliated trusts and to virtually every other organisation of comparable size and political reach in India, including, ironically, many of its own sister organisations that are registered. For the Tablighi Jamaat, the argument is less about political accountability and more about traceability: a formal registry of markaz, leadership, and funding could make it easier for governments to distinguish genuine preaching activity from the rare cases of infiltration or misuse that have fed ban...

By T. Chiranjeevulu IAS(Ret), Founder President BCIF( BC Intellectuals Forum) "Water – Funds – Jobs"… these were the slogans that gave life to the Telangana movement. "Jobs" is an issue tied to the lives of lakhs of Telangana youth. The perception that Telangana was denied its fair share of government jobs in united Andhra Pradesh was one of the strongest foundations of the movement. The argument that outsiders had taken over jobs meant for locals carried the Telangana movement from universities to villages. That is why, during the movement, political parties and movement leaders gave assurances like "When Telangana comes, every household will get a job," "We will fill all vacant posts," and "Telangana youth will get justice in employment." Thousands of students and unemployed youth believed these promises and joined the movement. Many set aside their education and career opportunities to fight for the formation of the state, sacrific...

 

Chuppala Nagesh Bhushan Courts have outlawed punitive demolitions and hate speech keeps rising anyway. A fact-check of a widely shared video, set against the data A video circulating in Hindi on social media, attributed to a speaker identified as “Irfan bhai,” makes a forceful argument: that demolitions of property in India disproportionately hit Muslims, that hate speech is concentrated in states run by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and that both have intensified around elections and after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in April 2025. This report checks those claims against independent reporting, court records and the datasets the video appears to draw on, then sets out the broader picture and the principal objections to it. The headline finding: most of the discrete factual claims in the video correspond closely to figures published in named, citable reports — chiefly by India Hate Lab (IHL), a project of the Washington-based Centre for the Study of Organised Hate (CSOH), ...

The Strategic Evolution of Dharmic Authority The history of ancient Indian jurisprudence is not a record of static devotion to a singular, immutable truth, but rather a sophisticated narrative of shifting legal hierarchies and the strategic evolution of authority. The transition from the ritualistic fixations of the Vedic age to the comprehensive social-legal codes of the  Smritis  represents a deliberate jurisprudential pivot. This was an essential maneuver designed to manage a vast "congeries of communities" under a unified Brahminical framework. The transition lies in the professional legitimacy of the Brahminical class. For this elite to maintain social order, they had to master the "art of circumlocution" to resolve the inherent "riddles" and textual contradictions within the sacred corpus. By developing complex hermeneutical stratagems, they ensured that the law remained a tool for social control, even when its foundational texts offered incohere...
