For men, sex never really comes free. Strip away the fantasies, the Tinder swipes, the bar hookups, the arranged marriages, the dramatic affairs, or even the spiritual promises of celibacy — and you’ll still find one constant: a price tag. It may not always be money. But it is always something. Sometimes, it’s emotional currency. A manContinue reading “For Men, Sex Always Comes at a Price”

While the self-proclaimed crusaders of Hindu Rashtra are busy globe-trotting, beating drums, basking in political glory, and celebrating life well into their 70s, one can’t help but ask — did they forget to read the very scriptures they claim to defend?

I’m not sure when it happened exactly. Maybe it was when the first Internet user discovered WhatsApp forwards. Or perhaps it was when Instagram reels started comparing Indian streets with Swiss footpaths. But somewhere between the first Facebook post and the thousandth “Swachh Bharat” selfie, Indians suddenly became cleanliness conscious.

India, the world’s largest democracy, is preparing for yet another monumental election. Streets are decorated, speeches are written, alliances are brokered, and voters are mobilized. But there’s a bitter irony playing out silently — while Indian citizens run from office to office to prove their nationality, infiltrators live comfortably within the system, armed with all the documentsContinue reading “The Great Indian Irony: Citizens Must Prove Their Identity, Not the Infiltrators”

For centuries, it has been widely accepted in the Indian cultural psyche that Sita was born in Janakpur, a serene town in present-day Nepal. Devotees across the subcontinent honor Janakpur as her birthplace, and the connection is embraced without resistance. But here’s a question we rarely ask: What if Ram — yes, Lord Ram himself — was alsoContinue reading “What If Ram Was Born in Nepal Too? A Thought That Could Shake Indian Politics”

My culture and dietary choices are defined by my ancestors who dwelled in this part of the world — not by any North Indian, politically motivated Sanatani. It needs to be said, clearly and unapologetically. I come from a land where tradition was not written in books, but lived in everyday acts. Where faith wasn’tContinue reading “My Culture is Not Yours to Define”

Every now and then, someone on social media posts a sensational claim like: “Muslim men marrying four wives and having multiple children is the reason their population is growing rapidly.” But does this really hold up to basic logic or even elementary mathematics? Let’s take a step back from the noise and do some simpleContinue reading “Does Polygamy Lead to Population Explosion? Let’s Do the Math.”
