Quote of the day

Both sides of the divide have their set of idiots and have their own set of followers who listen to them and believe them. It is just a question of which idiot is able to drum up a greater following of idiots. Signs are already showing.
In Math, for example, where India was supposed to be a leader, we collectively have fallen off the ladder (recent data on the number of children from different countries who perform brilliantly in Math Olympiads shows that there are none in the top 10 countries).

Children have started believing more on "WhatsApp University" education than they do on their teachers.

As I said, we just creating a bigger generation of idiots. Yes, we will be smart in creating businesses which are smarter extensions of "Dalali/brokering", the middleman expertise, but we will rarely see "things" created that can transform lives.

Unveiling the "Real Majority" of India

Unveiling the "Real Majority": Divya Dwivedi’s Critique of the Hindu Majority Narrative * In contemporary Indian discourse, the notion of a "Hindu majority" is often taken as an unassailable fact, with official statistics frequently citing approximately 80% of India’s population as Hindu. This framing shapes political campaigns, cultural narratives, and even national identity. However, philosopher and professor at IIT Delhi, Divya Dwivedi, challenges this narrative in her provocative and incisive work, arguing that the "Hindu majority" is a constructed myth that obscures the true social composition of India. For Dwivedi, the "real majority" comprises the lower-caste communities—historically marginalized and oppressed under the caste system—who form the numerical and social backbone of the nation. Her critique, developed in collaboration with philosopher Shaj Mohan, offers a radical rethinking of Indian society, exposing the mechanisms of power t...

Mallanna Unleashes TRP: A New Dawn for Marginalized Voices in Telangana's Power Game

On September 17, 2025, Chintapandu Naveen Kumar, popularly known as Teenmar Mallanna—a prominent Telugu journalist, YouTuber, and former Congress MLC—launched the Telangana Rajyadhikara Party (TRP) in Hyderabad at the Taj Krishna Hotel. The event, attended by Backward Classes (BC) intellectuals, former bureaucrats, and community leaders, marked a significant moment for marginalized groups in Telangana. Mallanna, suspended from Congress in March 2025 for anti-party activities (including criticizing and burning the state's caste survey report), positioned TRP as a dedicated platform for BCs, Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), minorities, and the economically weaker sections. The party's vision emphasizes "Samajika Telangana" (a socially just Telangana) free from fear, hunger, corruption, and prejudice, with a focus on inclusive development and responsible governance. Key highlights from the launch: Symbolism : The date coincided with Periyar Jayanti and V...

Nehru: Past, Present, and Future

  Based on a speech/talk in Telugu by Dr. Devaraju Maharaju  Some people say Nehru belongs to the past. Personally, I believe he belongs not only to the past but to the present and the future as well. Building a nation requires immense effort and sacrifice — and Nehru demonstrated both through his life. His life stands as an ideal not just for the older generation, but for today's youth and generations yet to come. I hold this belief firmly. He was a visionary, an atheist, a rationalist — but setting all of that aside, there is one thing that must be spoken of without fail: Scientific Temper . The man who coined the term "scientific temper" and gave it to the world was Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. This phrase is now used globally, and people must remember that it was Nehru who gave us those words. The Roots of Scientific Thought in India Did scientific temper begin with Nehru? Not quite. India was actually home to the world's earliest materialists. It was India tha...
