Ethics Cannot Be Bought
A journalist’s duty is to truth, not theatrics. When one sits before the camera and knowingly erases false ink only to replace it with false words, the betrayal is not just personal—it is civic. Money, gifts, and promotions may follow, but ethics remain beyond purchase. Integrity is not a commodity; it is a birthright of conscience or a discipline cultivated through maturity. To invoke democracy and the Constitution while weaponizing “freedom of expression” against the very people it is meant to protect is hypocrisy of the highest order. Citizens are no longer blind; they see how unethical news channels corrode democracy from within. As a voter and a Marathi citizen, I feel ashamed that journalism, once a pillar of truth, is now reduced to a marketplace of lies.

UGC Regulations 2026 and the Politics of Protest
The introduction of UGC Regulations 2026 has sparked heated debate across social media. Predictably, blame has been directed at Prime Minister Modi, reflecting a broader trend where every national issue is laid at his doorstep. Yet, the reality is that UGC, like thousands of government institutions, drafts its own rules, subject to government approval. The new framework is an improvement over the 2012 regulations, but gaps remain—particularly the exclusion of general category representation in Equity Committees and the absence of penalties for false complaints. These shortcomings deserve correction, and given the government’s track record of listening to citizens, reforms are likely. Much of the outrage, however, appears less organic and more agenda-driven, amplified by upcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh. Amid propaganda and caste-based rhetoric, vigilance and balanced judgment are essential.

The Pattern of Manufactured Outrage
Every election season, a familiar script unfolds. Issues are not discovered organically but manufactured by loyal operatives within the system, designed to provoke Hindus and fracture BJP’s voter base. The topics may change, but the pattern remains constant—committed supporters are baited into dissent, and floating voters follow suit. This cycle of outrage thrives only under BJP governments; when opposition parties rule, dissenting voices vanish, silenced by fear of police action or intimidation from ruling loyalists. The selective courage of critics reveals the agenda: protest is not about principle but about weakening one party. Citizens must recognize this recurring strategy and resist manipulation. Outrage without accountability is not democracy—it is propaganda. The challenge lies in discerning genuine grievances from orchestrated narratives meant to destabilize political unity.

Kerala’s Shifting Political Ground
The recent municipal elections in Maharashtra exposed the collapse of Congress, NCP, and other so‑called secular parties, while AIMIM and Islamic parties gained ground. The ripple effects are visible in Kerala, where Hindus once aligned with communists but are now turning toward the BJP. Once, ABVP activists faced brutal violence in campuses; today, ABVP candidates are winning unopposed, signaling a dramatic shift. The secular mask of Congress and communists is being torn apart by public sentiment. A key factor is Vinod Tawde, whose successful election management in Bihar now extends to Kerala. ABVP represents Hindu Gen Z, energizing students with a new ideological fervor. Rumors that a Congress government would hand the Home Ministry to the Muslim League have only intensified the mood. BJP’s voice resonates strongly, and a political surprise seems possible.

Why Davos Matters for Maharashtra
Critics scoff when Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis signs MoUs with Indian companies at Davos, arguing such agreements could be inked in Mumbai. This logic betrays a shallow grasp of global economics. Davos is not just a venue—it is a world stage where CEOs, investors, banks, and governments converge. Signing an MoU here signals seriousness, reassuring international stakeholders that projects will move forward with credibility. The pace of capital mobilization accelerates as global funds and partners engage directly. Moreover, Davos partnerships extend beyond investment to technology, ESG, supply chains, and research—dimensions difficult to replicate at a local table. The global media coverage amplifies visibility, enhancing the reputation of the state, companies, and shareholders alike. Far from being symbolic, Davos MoUs are strategic levers positioning Maharashtra in the global economy.
