Must say social norms relating to love and marriage are shit in India in the modern age.
I recently posted about how girls feel on their first night (Suhaagraat) after an arranged marriage, especially when they barely know the man.
And here's my point: In arranged marriages, many men expect physical intimacy on the very first night without understanding emotional comfort.
Most women prefer intimacy only when there is mutual trust, understanding and consent. How can a girl feel comfortable being physically intimate with a complete stranger?
Unfortunately, many girls from rural backgrounds feel they have no choice and accept it, thinking, "What other option do I have?" But being forced by social expectations to share your body with someone you're not comfortable with can make you feel less like a wife and more like a sex slave.
Marriage is not a licence to demand sex. Consent and emotional connection should always come first.

People with zero qualifications to lecture on Shastras should stay away from them. Baba Ramdev is better off doing Yoga than blabbering on things that he has no expertise in.
And please spare us with this parikshiptawaad nonsense.

Wtf is wrong with you @makemytripcare ? I cannot find any option to cancel my flight booking from Delhi to London. I opted for Visa Guarentee Claim and I cannot use it because I cant cancel my flight. Your IVR is absolutely useless and ridiculous. What am I supposed to do?

This is what mischief looks like. Nitpicking sections from texts without context.
What this chap is not telling you is that in the succeeding chapters, Brahma reminds Rama that he Vishnu himself and Rama concedes that he did the drama to prevent wordly chatter about Sita. 1/n
No rituals.
Most Bengalis would beat the shit out of this বোকাচোদা.
I hope that Durga Puja goes back to no-rituals, no-sanatani, pro-secular & pro-themes era from next year onwards.
The first ever fearless & Sanatani Durga Puja turned out to be the most inauspicious one in history.
Please, no more. Let us celebrate our daughter in our own way.

Idiots like this fellow are one of the prime reasons why regional mistrust and fractures exists in India.
Knowing nothing about Bengal or it's culture but lecturing on it.
PS. Rarely anyone in the North Indian belt can match Bengal's Durga Puja in Ritual Purity and Complexity.
Bengalis pretend to be shakta and say maa Durga is their daughter but many (most) bengalis donot do Durga puja at home but visit pandals.
North Indians do puja in home , big or small every one keeps kalash and invokes the goddess in home
Who has more closeness to mother?

Government doing as much peak chutiyapa as it can.
Seems like a real case of Vinash Kale Viparita Buddhi 🙃.
From Prof Biswajit Dhar, a resident of Chittaranjan Park: Yesterday (Saturday 17 October) evening, about 20 CRPF jawans armed with lathis marched into the B Block Puja Pandal in CR Park at 11.30 pm, when large number of people were celebrating the festival with family and friends. The Puja Committee members strongly protested against this intrusion and chased them out. I took this video when they were outside the main gate. Several of us lent our voices in support of the Puja Committee members arguing that any police interference in our most important festival was just not acceptable. Durga Puja is not a festival for only the Bengalis, but all other communities also get together to enjoy themselves. This is what I have seen for as long I can remember. Why then were paramilitary forces sent to spoil the atmosphere in such a festival? Should we now expect intimidation by the paramilitary forces whenever we congregate? We must demand answers before it is too late.

Can a policy with the right intent still fail in the classroom?
Our 47th edition of Policy Mandala explores why the real challenge isn't the policy's intent, it is its implementation.

The scenario is not looking good for the government. Many familiar supporters are mounting public criticism. People in my circle who have never posted a single political content are expressing their rage.
I don't see where and how a course correction is possible from here now. – at Delhi, India

Are Cash Transfers merely a political gimmick or is there more to it. Read in this week's Policy Mandala.

The government has taken way more than it can chew. And serves them right, making an incompetent man serve as the Minister of Education, allowing him to fail on all counts and then having the audacity to stand by him. – at Noida, India

A very pertinent piece as Delhi sets to revamp its pollution mitigation policy. Do give it a read.
Why does Delhi keep choking every winter despite decades of policies, court orders, and emergency action plans?
Is the problem pollution or the way we govern it?
