Technology, Social Media & Illusions Social media rewards noise, not intelligence On social media, the loudest person wins—not the wisest. A man shouting half-truths in a 30-second video gets a million views. A woman who spent 10 years mastering her craft gets ignored because she speaks calmly and refuses to...
Once upon a time, cinema was art. Then it became entertainment. Now, it’s a blood sport—with a box-office counter. When Animal released last year, many thought we had hit rock bottom. Extreme violence. Toxic masculinity packaged as “alpha male energy.” Torture scenes defended as “raw realism.” Apparently, that wasn’t the...
This is not a foreign affairs issue anymore. This is a moral test for India. When a neighbouring country burns and minorities bleed, silence is not diplomacy. It is delay. And delay always has a price. Bangladesh today is not just unstable. It is unsafe for its weakest citizens. And...
Why Arnab’s sudden questions matter — and why Ravish never needed permission For nearly a decade, Indian prime-time news followed a predictable script. You could mute the TV and still know who the villain was, who the hero was, and who would never be questioned. Then, suddenly, something changed. The...
For years, Indian prime-time news has followed an unspoken rule: power speaks, anchors echo. Among them, Arnab Goswami stood out—not as a neutral observer, but as the most aggressive and unapologetic defender of the ruling establishment. Since the launch of Republic TV, his editorial positioning has been widely perceived as...
From the day India woke up as a free nation, one thing has remained stubbornly unchanged: politicians change parties, but the system never changes. Congress ruled. BJP ruled. Coalitions came and went. Communists ruled states. Regional parties rose like meteors. Yet one question keeps hanging in the air like Delhi...
For years, Arnab Goswami was seen as the loudest shield of the Modi–BJP ecosystem on prime-time television. Mistakes were ignored, failures were reframed, and uncomfortable questions were redirected — usually towards the opposition, history, or imaginary enemies. If the government slipped, the studio lights somehow dimmed. Now suddenly, in the...
When Congress fell in 2014 and the BJP stormed into power, India didn’t just change governments. It changed how truth is manufactured. The TV remote slowly stopped being a device for information and became a political weapon. Today, in November 2025, the question isn’t “Which channel is telling the truth?”...
For years, South India’s film industry has complained about piracy eating away at their revenue — but most people assumed it was just a few Telegram channels, a few shady websites, or a few jobless college kids ripping camprints. Then came Immadi Ravi. And his arrest has ripped the mask...
Let’s not sugarcoat this — Indians abroad are no longer universally loved. The golden halo that once crowned the “well-behaved Indian engineer, doctor, or IT genius” in foreign lands is cracking. Once called model immigrants, now they’re increasingly being seen as problem settlers. Yes, you heard that right. From New...
