I'm a Bihari, and the whole damn country knows we Biharis stick to our caste like glue in politics—no matter how backward we stay, no matter how much they beat us down everywhere we go. We won't ditch caste. It's our bloody heritage! Society was built on caste lines, and we'll never abandon it. Let me kick this blog off with a brutal example. Picture a godforsaken area with just three people—each hogging 33.33% of the census pie. Then one bails for whatever reason, no replacement shows up, and now the two leftovers? Boom, 50% share. Can anyone with half a brain twist those numbers to scream "their dominance exploded"? Hell no! That's exactly how Bihar's government stats expose our rotten mess. Since the 1990s, Biharis have fled like rats—to every corner of India and the world. Anyone with a shot ditched this sinking ship. The so-called "drop" in upper castes? Pure migration math, idiots! And it's not just them—any upwardly mobile bastard,...

I firmly believe that a strong opposition and its stance on national issues form the first essential condition for democracy's success. Without a mature opposition, no democracy in the world can survive. India experienced this during Indira Gandhi's regime when she declared a national Emergency. It was the opposition of that time that resisted it, mobilized public opinion against it, and ultimately forced her out of power. However, that opposition's unity was short-lived. Lacking any long-term policy vision, it fell prey to the same flaws as Congress, making the non-Congress government experiment brief. The reason? Those who formed the first non-Congress government had emerged from Congress's own legacy, with no fundamental ideological differences beyond splitting off to create new parties. Whatever the cause, Congress regained power. Broadly speaking—barring a few intermittent years—Congress dominated from the mid-20th century through the first two decades of the 21st....

भारत का वर्णन विष्णु पुराण (२.३.१)इस प्रकार करता है उत्तरं यत् समुद्रस्य हिमाद्रेश्चैव दक्षिणम्। वर्षं तद् भारतं नाम भारती यत्र सन्ततिः। अर्थात समुद्र के उत्तर में और हिमालय के दक्षिण में जो देश है उसे भारत कहते हैं तथा उसकी संतानों (नागरिकों) को भारती कहते हैं। भारत नाम के संदर्भ भारत के प्राचीन ग्रंथों मे निर्विवाद रूप से मिलते है। इसका वर्णन भारत एक: नाम अनेक के रूप मे किया जा सकता है।   ऋग्वैदिक संदर्भ -   जन॑स्य गो॒पा अ॑जनिष्ट॒ जागृ॑विर॒ग्निः सु॒दक्ष॑: सुवि॒ताय॒ नव्य॑से ।  घृ॒तप्र॑तीको बृह॒ता दि॑वि॒स्पृशा॑ द्यु॒मद्वि भा॑ति भर॒तेभ्यः॒ शुचि॑ :       ऋग्वेद 5/11/1 वि॒श्वामि॑त्रस्य रक्षति॒ ब्रह्म॒दं भार॑तं॒ जन॑म्                 ऋग्वेद 3/53/12 व्यष्टिं व्यानशे येऽयं भरतानां                    शतपथ ब्राह्मण   (13/5/4/11) ऋग्वेद में हिमालय और मुजावंत पर्वत उत्तर में स्थित बताया है। ऋग्वेद के नदी सूक्त में 21 नदियों का उल्लेख है, जिनमें पूर्व में गं...

स्रोत - http://sardarpatel.nvli.in/media/2169   for the map Indida before and after partition  Dr. Manmohan Singh, as Finance Minister, delivered his first budget speech on July 24, 1991, famously concluding with Victor Hugo's quote: “No power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come.” This moment marked the launch of India's liberalization reforms, dismantling the Nehruvian socialist model that had stifled growth for decades. [ youtube ]​ [ indiabudget.gov ]​ 1991 Economic Reforms India's economy in the early 1990s faced a severe crisis, with foreign reserves barely covering two weeks of imports, soaring fiscal deficits around 8-10% of GDP, and peak import duties exceeding 300% alongside personal income tax rates up to 98%. The Nehruvian framework—characterized by heavy state control, the "License Raj," and import substitution—collapsed after 50 years, prompting Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao's Congress government to usher in deregulation, privatiza...

The Congress governance model, as a political theory, can be whimsically pictured as a party carrying a handy bag stuffed with assorted "biscuits"—think women's biscuits, Bhumihar biscuits, Rajput biscuits, Dalit biscuits, government employee biscuits, civil society biscuits, and so on, with the list endlessly expandable as needed. The Congress political executive would glide along at the top, overseeing a well-oiled machinery below. Periodically, they'd drop a suitable biscuit to appease immediate public demands. The masses would gratefully munch away, while the Congress machinery—led by a compliant media—would chorus its praises, securing the party's rule. Traditional Views on Government In conventional political science, governments are often viewed as all-powerful institutions, prompting most interpretations of rights to be framed in opposition to state authority—be it fundamental rights or universal human rights categories. It's widely held that governmen...

Cyber’ is originated from ‘Cybernetics’ which was coined in the the magnum opus of Norman Weiner. In the said book a link between human and animal was explored. But definitely it was the Cold War which gifted internet i.e cyberspace to the world [1] . In response to Russia’s successful launch of SPUTNIK in the space, US declared the launch of ARPANET which was assigned to develop rules of communication i.e. protocols for communication. However, internet gained popularity from 1996 with launching for the public. At that moment of time internet was young and its structure was simple consisting of just three layers: -server, network and client. Each had its own security component. Then user have to simply make few click over the hyperlinks. But today’s internet world is inexorable networked world and far more complex, which are shaping our daily lives through different ways. Almost everything can be done online. Since most of of our activities are being performed by internet and the Gov...

भारत की राजनीति मे बिहार को हमेशा एक ‘राजनीति की प्रयोगशाला’ के रूप मे देखा जाता है. हम कह सह सकते हैं की राजनीति मे जो हुआ है यहाँ पर, वही होगा (दुहराया जायगा) कहीं पर और राजनीति में वैविध्य/असमंजस इतना की महारानी वेब सीरीज का डायलॉग याद या जाता है जिसके अनुसार  जब-जब आपको लगता है कि आप बिहार को समझ गए हैं, बिहार कुछ ऐसा कर देता है की आपको झटका लग जाता है और आप फिर से फिर से बिहार को समझने लगते है। बिहार और बिहारी को समझने का सूत्र वाक्य है यह । अगर आप बिहार के इतिहास को पढ़ेंगे और उसे देखने समझने बिहार जाएंगे तो कुछ नहीं पाएंगे। संभव है की आप खुद इतिहास बन जाएं। तभी तेजस्वी ने सच कहा था की दिल्ली वाले बिहार को नहीं समझते हैं । बिहार की चुनाव राजनीति को समझने के लिए मंडल, कमंडल और गठबंधन तो है ही नीतीश कुमार का कुर्सी कुमार बंद जाना भी स्वयं में एक संस्था है जिसे समझना भी उतना ही जरूरी है जितना का राजनीति के अन्य पक्ष।  नीतीश बाबू अवसरवादी राजनीति का सबसे महत्वपूर्ण और शायद आजादी के बाद का सबसे जटिल चरित्र है। उनके द्वारा किए गए राजनीतिक प्रयोगों को इस चित्र की मदद से आसानी स...

Now that the Twitter Files have been made public, it seems appropriate to scrutinize the liberal claim that this group's freedom of expression is in danger, a narrative they continue to lament. In today's context, anyone asserting that democracy is under threat likely lacks knowledge of history or current realities, or they are still worshipping Marx's principles, which view totalitarian rule as the sole path to the economic salvation of the proletariat. Except for North Korea, all countries worldwide abandoned Marx's economic interpretation—which promised a utopian egalitarian society—by the 1980s and 1990s, leaving behind only the stubborn grip on power by a single party. influencewatch +1 Marxist Legacy and Power Retention The duplicitous, undemocratic propaganda propagated by the Congress party in India and the Chinese Communist Party worldwide can be understood in this light; it amounts to nothing less than a betrayal of the people. The MoU signed between Congres...
