The political climate of India in a nutshell

-
India,a collective sigh comes to mind when i bring up my country.
India,a country marred with political dissent,injustice and whatnot.
India,a land of indubitable diversity that had Mughals and The British Raj acquiring immeasurable wealth and spices among other things
India,my chests inevitably swells with pride owing to its richness but let us delve into the harsh political landscape that India provides to its citizens being the largest democracy with mistakes.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and this mine.
Right now,the current trend seems to be the right wing and the left wing ideologies that have spread forth to every nook and cranny and politics of populism seems to be the status quo.Politicizing news has been jput on a pedestal and coalitions are desperately clinging to power.Deftness when it boils down to political matters and blown out of proportion news coverage seems to be ruling the roost.
We have liberals,conformists,extremists and the most endearing term for Congress sycophants-"Chamchas"(insert GIGGLES).
Politicians spewing didactic lecture,brainwashing the public by springing up false hopes,galvanizing the people but to no avail?!If any systemic change needs to be brought in,it is now or never.
Firebrand revolutionaries and the common man alike wanting to bring about change from the grass root level onwards.India is a paradoxical land not just with regard to its distorted politics and fragmented class hierarchy but also due to its very confused multi party system.
False promises aside,you cant deny the passion with which our government servants operate
I am a budding journalist with a keen eye on the goings on of the world and a professional foodie, if that makes any sense. I have a slight interest in photography by dabbling in it and also would like to make the world a better place through the written word.

 Good morning my fellow readers. This post will be one that is of a dear diary moment and since I don't keep a diary i decided to write it here, a la my safe space. It talks about a loss that i recently faced. The loss of something that i held very dear to in my life. You might be thinking as to why I am out of my element for a while now, well that can  be attributed to my writer's block as well as the need to be more relatable and mellow, if that makes sense. Well here goes. After weeping profusely for 2 days straight since the incident occurred, this is merely my way of acknowledging my grief and speaking it out into existence. Since entrenching myself in the locales of a suburb called Nagarbhavi and failing to find friends my own age, my only companions here are the four legged cuties who are teeming like there's no tomorrow. One particular bond forged with this cute little white bundle of joy was enduring and pure, at least i hoped it would be.  It was merely happenstan

Quarantine diaries-part 2

 Well hello there folks.Here i am with another incoherent ramblings about my life under the throes of Covid19. With my 5th semester examinations and the grind coming to a close, i feel both hopeful as well as apprehensive of the future.  With my mother falling ill to looking after the daily monotony of the house to doing my day to day tasks, life has indeed hit a screeching halt. Coupled with writer's block wherein I'm unable to concoct and ideate topics to write about. Going out for rejuvenating walks seems to be the only saving grace. Learning new skills essential for our field seems to be getting pushed off for some reason( laziness aplenty).  With the 2nd wave engulfing mankind quicker and more deadlier than ever, it's time to take swift action to remedy the situation around us. The die has been cast. I have been two days into my holidays and already feel like a better man. More mature and more responsible if that makes sense. Like i'm ready to conquer the world. Da

The Ram Mandir legacy

Will this be untouched by outsiders once its constructed?! Ladies and Gentlemen, i put it to you. The historic Bhumi Pujan thats about to commence in a few short minutes at the heart of Ayodhya. Yes, its a very exciting and celebratory prospect for the vast majority of ardent religious Indians. the way the halls have been decked with such great pomp and fanfare is actually eclipsed by a great deal of controversies and rich historical significance. Will it last in the eyes of god? IS the Bhumi Pujan a new beginning for the history of RamJanmabhoomi? Are we ushering in a new era? 1) The location and name of RamJanmabhoomi: As the name suggest, the land is supposed to be postulated as the birthplace of Lord Ram from the Hindu mythology. So, it is only fitting to pay homage to the deity of Lord Ram by immortalizing a temple in his honour and name.   2) The Ayodhya dispute:In the bygone era, there were numerous temples built on this very favorable stretch of land nestled in Uttar Prade
