Discard EVMs or at least order 100% VVPAT verification for the coming 2024 general elections
The EVM technology per se is of questionable integrity, liable to hacking, as accepted in several countries similarly placed. The Commission’s continued insistence that the EVMs being used by it are 100% safe has no verifiable proof. Keeping this in view, the Commission should either discard EVMs altogether or at least agree to 100% verification with respect to the VVPAT count Without totalisers, EVMs do not permit the mixing of votes across different booths to ensure booth-wise secrecy. That will make it difficult for the Commission to avoid questionable sources that could impact the integrity of the electoral process in many ways. Does it not cast a shadow on the whole question about the integrity of BEL-supplied EVMs?

31 Years After Babri Mosque Demolition, Criminal Hindutva Perpetrators Rule India, Instead of Being Punished
[https://indianexpress.com/article/india/ram-mandir-bhumi-pujan-full-text-of-pm-narendra-modis-speech-in-ayodhya/]Name: Email:GOSWAMI TULSIDAS PUT IN BAD LIGHTAs generally happens with our PM, he resorted to lies regarding the destruction of Ram birth-place temple for building Babri Mosque too. According to his narrative, borrowed from the RSS shakhas, Ayodhya represented a continuous war between Hindus and Muslims over the Ram Temple for almost last five centuries. According to the Hindutva version Ram birth-place temple was destroyed during 1538-1539. Thus RAMCHARITMANAS written almost 37 years after the so called destruction of Ram birth-place temple should have mentioned this destruction. It is a different matter that despite all these findings the highest court of justice of India allowed construction of Ram Temple at the site of Babri Mosque.

Caste and Colonialism: Herbert Risley’s enduring influence on Bharatiya Society
His efforts significantly shaped the understanding and categorization of Bharatiya society, particularly in terms of caste and race. Here, he fundamentally restructured Bharatiya society around caste, attributing its creation to the interactions between invading Indo-Aryans and native Dravidians. His taxonomical classifications, especially in relation to caste, have left an enduring imprint on the comprehension of social structures in Bharat. As a result, the two races remained distinct, and the Indo-Aryans, to prevent racial miscegenation, devised the caste system. Colonial Census and the Imposition of CasteThe use of caste in colonial census started with the 1865 census of the Northwest Province (NWP) – a colonial-era administrative territory, parts of which overlap with modern-day UP.

To merge with God
December 06, 2023 05:25 am | Updated 05:25 am ISTNo human being is entirely good or totally bad. A comparative study of the siblings in the Ramayana and the Skanda Purana offers great insight into the latent hero and anti-hero traits. His sibling Simhamukha fails to dissuade him from waging war on Lord Murugan. Lord Murugan sees through Soorapadman’s shape-changing trickery and splits him into two, from which a rooster and peacock emerge. For the jiva to merge with the Lord, all three layers should be shed by a devotee, one after the other.

Allegations in a scathing report by US-based Hindenburg Research, which erased around $100 billion from the Adani Group’s market value earlier this year, were front and center as the International Development Finance Corp., or DFC, conducted a due diligence investigation of the conglomerate, an official from the US agency told Bloomberg.
