Was Foreign Rule a Dark Blessing?
India, Anger, and the Illusion of Peace Scroll through social media today and you will find an India that looks perpetually furious—angry Hindus, hate-filled politicians, wounded pride packaged as nationalism. Watching this daily spectacle, an uncomfortable question arises: Were the Mughal invasions and the British Empire a strange blessing in disguise—forces that kept India relativelyContinue reading “Was Foreign Rule a Dark Blessing?”
Was publishing a book part of my destiny?
I was seven years old in 1982 when my father—an engineer by profession who retired as a Divisional Engineer from Mumbai Telephones (MTNL), and an amateur astrologer known among friends and relatives for his startlingly accurate predictions—looked at my palm and said, “You will have a career that requires a lot of signing of documents.”Continue reading “Was publishing a book part of my destiny?”
Hey Ram or Why Ram?
Shivaism and Vaishnavism: Two Different Religions That Became “One” — The Untold Story of How Hinduism Was Constructed For most of India’s long history, Shivaites and Vaishnavites were never part of a single religious identity. They lived separately, worshipped differently, and in many eras actively opposed one another. The neat packaging of both groups underContinue reading “Hey Ram or Why Ram?”
The Moon: The Oldest Religion We All Still Follow
Across centuries, cultures, and continents, humanity disagreed on gods, scriptures, and rituals—but one celestial presence silently united us all: the Moon.

Hinduism: The Only Religion Whose Followers No Longer Know What It Means
Hinduism is perhaps the only religion whose followers are still passionately devoted yet strangely disconnected from the very structure of their own faith. Ask ten Hindus what Hinduism is, and you will receive twelve different answers. Everyone has their own custom-made variant, carefully shaped to suit their lifestyle, comfort, and convenience — and yet eachContinue reading “Hinduism: The Only Religion Whose Followers No Longer Know What It Means”
Why Sanskrit Faded: The Language of Gods That Humans Let Slip Away
For a country that proudly calls itself Hindu-majority, there’s a question we rarely dare to ask out loud: If Sanskrit is the language in which God communicated with Hindus, then how did it fade from everyday life? Why isn’t it the most spoken language in modern India? The answers are not mystical. They are painfullyContinue reading “Why Sanskrit Faded: The Language of Gods That Humans Let Slip Away”
My Prediction on Sheikh Hasina’s Fate
Sheikh Hasina may have been sentenced to death in absentia, but that doesn’t mean the sentence will ever be carried out. She’s outside Bangladesh, she isn’t in custody, and the verdict itself is tied up in political complexity. My prediction is simple: She will never be hanged. No matter how dramatic the headlines sound, herContinue reading “My Prediction on Sheikh Hasina’s Fate”
Every 10 Years, the Same Stimulus Feels Different
