At 21, I have realised something uncomfortable: most young Indians have strong political opinions, but very few are willing to participate in politics itself. We debate passionately on social media. We criticise policies, question leaders, argue about nationalism, development, unemployment, and foreign affairs. We are informed, expressive, and sometimes even aggressive in our views. Yet […]
Did you know that Model United Nations (MUN) gives students benefits that go way beyond regular extracurricular activities? Yale, Harvard and other top Ivy League colleges value students with MUN experience. This advantage matters a lot in today’s competitive college admissions. MUN follows formal ‘Rules of Procedure’ to mirror the United Nations format. Students from […]
“सा fवद्या या fवमुक्तये।” Sā vidyā yā vimuktaye — That alone is knowledge which liberates. Growing up in the Indian schooling system is an experience just as tiring as it is unique. In any average private K-12 school of a tier 2 or tier 3 city, you will find forty students stuffed in an old […]
E Pluribus Unum– “out of many, one”- is the ideal on which this nation of law and liberty was founded. The United States of America is not merely a country defined by borders; it is an idea rooted in freedom, equality, opportunity, and the belief that individuals matter. The United States stands today as the […]
There was a time when ideas took time to travel. A thought had to be written, printed, read, discussed, challenged. In that delay, something important happened—thinking. The mind had space to hesitate, to doubt, to refine. Today, that space has collapsed. A thought appears on a screen and within seconds it becomes belief, identity, even […]
When Barack H. Obama walked up to the podium on January 20, 2009, the world paused. The United States had just elected its first African American president, and the sheer symbolism of that moment carried with it a sense of destiny. Obama’s cadence was steady, his tone uplifting, his vision hopeful. He represented something larger […]
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is often described globally as the world’s largest far-right Hindu organization, frequently accused of promoting the “saffronization” of Bharat and the exclusion of those perceived as “outsiders” from the land of Bharat Mata. Founded during the oppressive pre-independence era, the organization came into existence on the auspicious day of Vijay […]
Law in India is often understood through the lens of colonial codes, statutes, and constitutional doctrines. Yet the roots of Indian jurisprudence run far deeper, reaching into cultural and philosophical traditions that existed long before codified law. Justice in the ancient Indian tradition was envisioned holistically, with law, morality, and duty woven into the overarching […]
“Why am I a proud Indian?” This is a question every nationalist should ask themselves at least once in their life. Pride should not be blind, borrowed, or passed down without thought. True pride comes from understanding, from feeling, and from willingly accepting the values and responsibilities tied to an identity. If we, as nationalists, […]
“Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas”, “Garibi Hatao”, “India Shining”- these weren’t just catchy lines painted on campaign posters. They were promises. Hopes. Dreams that people held on to. Every time India went to vote, it wasn’t just pressing a button on an EVM; it was choosing a direction for the country. Take Indira Gandhi’s slogans, for […]
