Temples, Identity, and the Politics of Opposition. The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams’ (TTD) decision to build 5,000 temples in Dalit localities—funded not by taxpayer money but by its own corpus—has sparked sharp criticism from Andhra Pradesh Congress chief Y.S. Sharmila. Her labeling of the initiative as “RSS ideology” reveals not just policy disagreement but a deeper discomfort with the cultural reclamation it represents.The project, backed by CM Chandrababu Naidu, aims to reconnect Dalit communities with their spiritual heritage. Yet, opposition voices seem more concerned about the political implications of a spiritually awakened electorate. When temples become symbols of dignity and inclusion, they challenge decades of vote-bank politics rooted in alienation.
This isn’t just temple construction—it’s cultural restoration. And perhaps that’s what unsettles those who’ve long profited from division. The awakening has begun. It won’t be reversed.

Mahayuti’s Cracks Ahead of Local Polls. As Maharashtra’s local body elections approach, internal rifts within the Mahayuti alliance are surfacing. Once united under the banner of BJP, Shinde’s Shiv Sena, and Ajit Pawar’s NCP faction, the alliance now faces public infighting—Dhankekar vs. Mohol, Naik vs. Shinde, Kulkarni vs. Patil. In Thane, Naik’s Janata Darbar irked Shinde loyalists, sparking accusations of parallel power centers. In Pune, Dhankekar’s relentless allegations against Mohol—from passport controversies to alleged misuse of a builder’s vehicle—have intensified tensions.While leaders claim unity, the ground reality suggests strategic one-upmanship. These clashes raise questions: is this mere electoral posturing or deeper factionalism? With Mahayuti’s strongholds now contested from within, the alliance’s coherence is under strain. The opposition watches closely, as Mahayuti’s internal battles may reshape the electoral battlefield.

Diplomacy, Deception, and the Oil Dilemma. Donald Trump recently claimed in a press conference that Prime Minister Modi assured him India would gradually reduce oil imports from Russia. Rahul Gandhi seized on this, alleging that India was bowing to U.S. pressure—implying Modi fears Trump. Yet, within two days, Trump imposed harsh sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil companies. If Modi had truly agreed to reduce imports, sanctions would’ve been unnecessary.This contradiction exposes both Trump and Gandhi: one exaggerating diplomatic leverage, the other amplifying it for political gain. The reality? India didn’t yield, prompting Trump’s punitive action. Neither leader will admit this, as it undermines their narrative. In geopolitics, truth often gets buried beneath strategic posturing. But the sequence of events speaks louder than their words—and reveals the fragile dance between diplomacy, defiance, and deception.

Cow Dung: From Mockery to Global Demand. While cow dung and urine are often ridiculed on Indian social media, the global market tells a different story. India has exported ₹300 crore worth of cow dung to 11 countries, including Kuwait, the U.S., China, Brazil, and Australia. Surprisingly, Kuwait tops the list, followed by America and China. Even German Ambassador Dr. Philipp Ackermann recently referred to cow urine as a “diplomatic tool.” The German Development Bank has funded women in Andhra Pradesh to use dung and urine for improving soil fertility.Ironically, we forget that our ancestors lived in mud homes, where dung was used to coat walls and floors, and cow urine was sprinkled for purification. It caused no discomfort then. Today, while the world embraces its utility, we indulge in mockery—forgetting that tradition and sustainability often walk hand in hand.

The image shows Rahul Gandhi paying tribute to former Congress president Sitaram Kesri—a poignant reminder of a forgotten chapter in Congress history. Kesri, the party’s last non-Gandhi president, was once humiliated and ousted from office, reportedly locked in a bathroom while Sonia Gandhi took over leadership. His political career ended in obscurity, symbolizing the decline of inner-party democracy. Today, Rahul Gandhi’s tribute appears less about respect and more about political convenience, as elections approach in Bihar, Kesri’s home state. The Congress leadership seems to remember its loyal workers only when votes are at stake. True homage to Kesri would mean restoring dignity, openness, and democracy within the party—values that once defined the Congress but are now lost in its dynastic shadows.
