Bhagalpur a nascent of Anti-Caste Movement.

  Bhagalpur the name which most people remember as the place where Sultan Khan (Gangs of Wasseypur [Film]) was murdered is not as pale as it seems.  Derived from Bhagdatpuram meaning ‘city of good luck’ and once known as the center of trade, education, and politics and often called as the “Silk City” on account of its production of Tussar silk fabrics has lost its charm due to the continued Industrialization, Migration, and blood-smitten riots.  As portrayed in an old Bhojpuri song quoted in G. A. Grierson’s Book the Bihar Peasant Life which says, Bhagalpur ke Bhagelia, Kahalgaun ke thug, Patna Ka diwalia, tino namjad, Sune Pawe Chhaprahiya, tino ke ture rag. This means the Bhagelia of Bhagalpur, Thugs of Kahagaun, and the Bankrupts of Patna are all famous sharpers but if a man of chhapra hears this, he will beat them all. But unlike the present circumstances or what is portrayed by the Colonial Era Socialists, Bhagalpur has one of the richest cultural lega...

Why Burqa/Niqab system is nothing but misogyny at it's peak

A woman covered with a black cloth all around her body standing under the scorching sun perplexing with sweat and heat all under the name of religion. Clothes have always been a controversial part f or women per se be i t the gut-wrenching corsets f or an hourglass  f igure or padded bustles f or a draped back, women have always been subjugated by attires to intens i f y their sexual attributes f or their male counterparts while they are busy doing cha rades with their crook ed nose and bloated bellies. Burqa in another sense was born out of necessity rather than misogyny. Saudi Arab i a being the origin of Islam was an area prone to high temperatures exceeding almost 53 degr ees , so a cloth covering the f ace and body was an ideal way to protect from heat and sand dust, but what f ollows was nothing more than a derogatory slap to all ...

Covid 19 Experience

-
Image
  On the 3rd of April 2015 when American business magnate and philanthropist Bill Gates gave his speech on the topic “The next outbreak? We’re not ready” at a Ted talk event stating that if anything that will kill over 10 million people in the next few decades, it most likely to be a highly infectious virus, I along with the majority of world population believed that this might be an extreme exaggeration of a third world problem but who knew that a science geek could be the Nostradamus of 21st century.  A single virus strain could be the reason behind the death of 2.61 million people caused only because of a single bowl of bat soup. While the world was grieve stricken by chaos, India seemed to be in a safe zone, until the first case of covid 19 was reported in Uttarakhand.         Often referred to as the "Devabhumi" (literally "Land of the Gods") due to numerous Hindu temples and pilgrimage centres found throughout the state, Uttarakhand seems...

Thoughts on Farm Bill

-

  Farm bills 2020 are segregated in 3 forms 1.                 THE FARMERS’ PRODUCE TRADE AND COMMERCE (PROMOTION AND FACILITATION) BILL, 2020 2.                 THE FARMERS (EMPOWERMENT AND PROTECTION) AGREEMENT ON PRICE ASSURANCE AND FARM SERVICES ACT, 2020 3.                 THE ESSENTIAL COMMODITIES (AMENDMENT) ORDINANCE, 2020 I’ll not explain these bills because people with more expertise in these issues have already discussed it in youtube videos and newspaper Articles. I’ll just mention the issue which I found a bit wrong perhaps polarised in these bills. I will also mention the chapters under which I found these issues so that you can consult it and correct me if I am wrong. . Now under Chapter 2 section 4 (1) its written 4.     ...

Importance of women's contribution in making India a great nation?

-
Image
  Sarojini Naidu and Rani Lakshmibai, unfortunately, these are the only names of female freedom fighters who fought and died for the freedom of our country. The bravery and valor of freedom fighters like  Sucheta Kriplani, Lakshmi Sahgal, and Aruna Asaf Ali to name a few often remain unheard and unnoticed just like a caged nightingale singing a melody in the closed bars of the patriarchal mindset. It’s not that we lack female freedom fighters or founding “Mothers” of our nation per se but the perception surrounding female-centric individuals has always been questionable.   GD Anderson rightly said that “Feminism isn’t about making women stronger. Women are already strong; it’s about changing the way the world perceives that strength”. From amounting to more than 20% of Indian GDP to being the CEO of various MNCs to even women like Vandi Verma who will be driving NASA’s Perseverance rover. But I often find that laying out examples of successful women is an insult to ...
