When the Monsoon Crossed the Roof of the World! For the first time in recorded history, India’s monsoon clouds crossed the Himalayas and touched Tibet—the frozen desert, the roof of the world. This year, the Himalayas drank deep. Landslides surged. Fragile slopes soaked and crumbled. Debris flowed into rivers. And rivers, the lifelines of civilization, remembered their ancient paths. A river moves like culture—guided by gravity, shaped by need, destined for the sea. But when rainfall shifts, rivers vanish like Saraswati, or return with fury. Forgotten streams reclaim their names. Geography becomes unfamiliar. If Himalayan rains continue, North India’s map will redraw itself. Nalas will become rivers. Fields, homes, and cities in their path will be swept away. We must find the old riverbeds before they find us. Technology can guide us, but wisdom lies in yielding. Time and river cannot be stopped. Holding their hand is our only survival.

A Muslim organization has formally appealed to the Prime Minister of India to confer the Bharat Ratna—the country’s highest civilian honor—on Dr. K.B. Hedgewar, the founder of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The group emphasized Hedgewar’s contributions to national unity and discipline, stating that his legacy transcends communal boundaries. They argued that recognizing him would promote harmony and acknowledge historical figures who shaped India’s civic ethos. The organization also expressed its commitment to national integration and praised Hedgewar’s vision for a strong, self-reliant India. This unusual endorsement from a Muslim group has sparked discussion across political and social circles, given the RSS’s complex relationship with minority communities.

A Statement That Shook Bengal’s Political Ground! Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury’s recent remark—suggesting that Muslims in Murshidabad might soon demand it be declared “Extended Bangladesh”—has ignited a firestorm. With a Muslim population nearing 70% in the district, his words have stirred anxieties and polarized discourse. Critics call it reckless, warning it could deepen communal fault lines. Supporters argue he’s voicing a long-ignored demographic reality. But beyond political camps, the statement raises urgent questions: How do we speak of identity without inciting division? Can demographic shifts be discussed without invoking fear? In a region already sensitive to cross-border narratives, such rhetoric demands caution. Bengal’s history is one of coexistence and complexity. To reduce it to percentages and predictions is to risk unraveling its social fabric. Leaders must choose words that build bridges—not borders—especially when the nation listens.

Between Outrage and Order: The Limits of Public Reaction. When a CRPF constable slapped Kangana Ranaut, many hailed it as righteous anger. But when lawyer Kishor Rakesh hurled a shoe at the Chief Justice, the same public recoiled. Why the double standard? Both acts stemmed from perceived insult—one to personal dignity, the other to religious faith. Yet institutions demand restraint. The judiciary, especially, must uphold dignity and avoid sarcasm on sacred matters. In Sanatan Sanskriti, karma ensures that actions—whether of judges or citizens—carry consequence. But dharma demands balance. Public figures must speak with care, and citizens must protest with decorum. Anger may be justified, but its expression defines its legitimacy. When outrage turns physical, it risks undermining the very values it seeks to defend. Justice and faith both deserve reverence—not retaliation. The line between protest and provocation must remain sacred.

The Constitution’s Guardians or Gatekeepers of Privilege? India’s higher judiciary claims to be the sole interpreter and protector of the Constitution. Yet, the collegium system—used to appoint judges—finds no mention in the Constitution itself. While judges scrutinize the qualifications of peons to commissioners, their own selection remains opaque. Ironically, the Chief Justice ranks sixth in constitutional protocol, yet lectures presidents and prime ministers. Most judges hail from judicial dynasties, raising questions of nepotism. Meanwhile, when 11 judges refused to hear a mafia case, and the 12th granted bail without argument, it was “bulldozer justice” that restored public faith. The same Constitution that judges cite was defended not in courtrooms, but on the streets. The silence around judicial privilege is louder than their verdicts. Isn’t it time the protectors of the law were held to its spirit?
