I started using Sanatana Dharma to stop Sangh Parivar groups from twisting my words as an attack on Hindu beliefs: Thirumavalavan

While Sports Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin’s recent comments about “eradicating Sanatana Dharma” have snowballed into a political controversy, it was VCK founder Thol. Thirumavalavan who had enshrined Sanatana Dharma in the lexicon of Tamil Nadu’s political discourse over the past five years.

The BJP May End up Tying Itself in Knots By Attacking Udhayanidhi Stalin

'Dalits kept as cleaners': Brahmins dominate Sulabh toilets' top managerial positions

'Dalits kept as cleaners': Brahmins dominate Sulabh toilets' top managerial positions

The founder of Sulabh International, Dr Bindeshwar Pathak, is said to have brought 'revolution' to the toilet system in India by introducing the concept of 'paid toilet' system. However, Sulabh International actually became the biggest beneficiary of the hypocrisy of a society which refuses to pay honourably to a community which is enslaved. Community people continue to work as manual scavengers.

Marriage equality: Why queer unions should deviate from Brahmanical traditions

The 'ideal' hetero-structure of marriages in India is embedded in Brahmanical traditions and caste endogamy. In order to not replicate this character of marriage, the philosophy underlying Hindu queer unions must be a radical deviation from the former.

Modi Govt Unveils Controversial New Criminal Bills: 'Sedition' Law to Change But in Name Only

Although Amit Shah said sedition law has been 'repealed', it appears only the word 'sedition' may have been dropped, for the law remains and, in many ways, has been made more draconian.

How Majoritarian Policies in UP & Maharashtra Sent Meat Industries Into Decline, Ended Thousands Of Jobs

Curbs on the meat trade—from infrastructure requirements to a flood of paperwork—tightened cow-slaughter laws, vigilante attacks and arrests, including under the draconian National Security Act, have hit livelihoods of thousands, including butchers, meat-sellers, workers and traders, the majority Muslim, according to the findings of a six-month study conducted in five cities in UP and Maharashtra, India’s two largest meat-exporting states, during 2021 and 2022.

Upper castes are one of the few (if not the only) group in India driven primarily by ideology and identity when it comes to voting choices, writes Shoaib Daniyal (article from March 2022).
