Satluj: A Saint, A Super Cop and A Human Rights Activist

The movie Satluj has been facing delays for the last three years. The CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) changed its title several times. Originally, it was titled Ghallughara, then Punjab 95, and finally Satluj. The CBFC asked for 127 cuts, but the makers did not agree. Eventually, the movie was released on Zee5, but after two days it was taken down in India. However, people are still watching pirated copies by downloading them from the internet. Once a movie is released, no one can completely stop people from watching it in this high-tech world. The government says that it could pose a risk to national security, not because of the movie itself, but because some people might use it to influence the people of Punjab, negatively affect the state, or incite unrest among viewers. It is now being screened in gurdwaras across the country, while others argue that it presents the truth and serves the national interest. At the same time, Batwara has also yet to be released, and with the Punjab Assembly elections scheduled for 2027, many people are questioning the timing of these developments and asking who stands to benefit. As the political decisions are often driven not by national or anti-national interests but by self-interest. Time will tell how these events shape public opinion.

Alluri Sitarama Raju: The Rebel Who Took on the British Empire

Today, on July 4, we commemorate the birth anniversary of Alluri Sitarama Raju, one of the most revered figures in India’s freedom struggle. Born in 1897, Raju became a symbol of courage, resilience, and unyielding resistance against British colonial rule. His leadership of the Rampa Rebellion (1922-1924) and his incredible bravery in guerrilla warfare tactics made him a legendary hero, particularly among the tribal communities of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

To The Fourth of July: 250th Independence Day (United States of America)

On the Fourth of July, 2026, the United States celebrates the 250th Independence Day, commemorating the day in 1776 when the Thirteen American Colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, boldly declaring themselves free from British rule after years of taxation without representation and their struggle for self-governance. This historic day became a symbol of liberty, equality, and the right of people to determine their own destiny.

Chalo Amarnath: The Pilgrimage to the Holy Cave

The Amarnath Yatra, one of the holiest pilgrimages in India, has begun, drawing lakhs of devotees from around the world. This sacred journey offers more than just a religious experience; it is a pilgrimage that connects one to the essence of immortality, divinity, and the cosmic bond between Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.

Celebrating Anuj Dhar’s Birthday as National Truth-Seeking Day

Today, July 1st, marks the birthday of one of India’s most fearless truth-seekers – Anuj Dhar, the journalist, author, and researcher whose life has been dedicated to unearthing some of the most controversial and hidden truths of modern Indian history. On this special occasion, let us propose that Anuj Dhar’s birthday be celebrated as National Truth-Seeking Day — a day to honor all those who risk everything to uncover the facts buried by time, bureaucracy, and political interests.

LAGAAN: At the present time in India

On this day, 15 June 2001, one of the greatest films in Indian cinema was released. It has been twenty-five years since Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India first graced the screen, yet the film continues to live in the hearts of people across generations. More than just a movie, Lagaan became an emotion — a philosophy, and for many, a mirror through which they still see India, society, and even themselves.

John F. Kennedy: Why Independent Leaders Often Make Powerful Systems Uncomfortable

On the birth anniversary of John F. Kennedy (JFK), the world remembers not merely a former American president, but a leader whose life continues to provoke admiration, debate, and unanswered questions. Even decades after his death, JFK remains one of the most discussed political figures in modern history. Perhaps this is because he represented something people across nations still long for — leadership that appears sincere, people-centric, and unafraid to think independently.

Bakrid: The Real Meaning of Sacrifice Beyond the Animal

India is a country of many religions, traditions, and cultures. Hindus and Muslims have lived together for centuries, sharing joys, struggles, languages, and values. Festivals should not only be celebrated as rituals but also understood for the lessons they teach humanity. Bakrid, also known as Eid al-Adha, is one such festival that carries deep meaning about sacrifice, faith, survival, charity, and brotherhood.

Vinayak Damodar Savarkar: The Revolutionary Who Dreamed of a United India

Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, popularly known as Veer Savarkar, a name that continues to inspire admiration, debate, curiosity, and controversy in equal measure. Yet before political labels, ideological battles, and modern interpretations, there existed a young man who lived in a period of fear, humiliation, and colonial oppression—a man who belonged to a generation that saw India not as a secure independent nation but as a wounded civilization struggling to breathe under foreign rule. On his birth anniversary, beyond the arguments and slogans, perhaps the most important thing is to understand the intensity of that era and the emotional fire that shaped people like Savarkar. Many in today’s generation may find it difficult to imagine what it meant to grow up in a country where freedom was absent, where speaking openly against rulers could mean imprisonment, exile, or death, and where even dreaming of independence required extraordinary courage.

Rachel Carson: The Woman Who Gave Nature a Voice

On 27 May, let us remember one of the most influential environmental thinkers of the twentieth century — Rachel Carson. More than a scientist, Carson was a writer, conservationist, and visionary who changed how humanity understands its relationship with nature. At a time when industrial progress was celebrated without question, she courageously warned that human actions were damaging the natural world in dangerous and irreversible ways.

Today, as climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss, and ecological crises dominate global conversations, Rachel Carson’s ideas feel more relevant than ever.

Richard Alpert to Ram Dass: A Journey from Mind to Soul

The transformation of Ram Dass is one of the most profound spiritual journeys of the modern era. It is the story of a man who had everything the Western world could offer—education, status, success—and yet felt something essential was missing. That absence became the doorway to a life devoted to truth, love, and service.

Make Every Hour An Earth Hour

Dear Humans of Planet Earth,

You are the most intelligent beings to ever exist on this planet. You have the power to think, to create, to innovate, and to change the course of the future. So why is it that you are unable to protect the very Earth that gives you life?

Today, the world observes Earth Hour — a moment where millions switch off their lights for one hour. It is meant to symbolize awareness, unity, and responsibility toward our planet.

But let us ask honestly:

Is one hour enough?

The One Freedom No One Can Take Away

On March 26, we remember Viktor E. Frankl, whose timeless words remind humanity of a truth that no power can erase: “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” This idea, central to his book Man’s Search for Meaning, is not just a philosophical thought—it is a moral compass for navigating life, especially in today’s complex and often controlled world..

Right To Recall Party Foundation Day

25 March marks the foundation day of the Right to Recall Party (RRP), a political movement in India that seeks to fundamentally transform the nature of democracy by restoring real power to the citizens. Established on 25 March 2019, the party represents not just a political organization, but a continuation of a long-standing effort to bring enforceable, citizen-centric laws into the Indian governance system.

The foundation day is not merely a symbolic anniversary. It is a reminder of a larger idea — that democracy must evolve beyond periodic elections and must ensure continuous accountability of those in power.

A Letter to the Youth: Inquilab Zindabad

Popularized by Bhagat Singh, it was never meant to be just a cry of defiance. It is a call to awaken your mind, to question injustice, and to take responsibility for shaping a better society.
