Pahalgam Attack : Bad Luck or Ignored Responsibility?

Image
On April 22, 2025 a very heartbreaking incident took place in Pahalgam,Kashmir. Five militant  fired at a group of tourists resulting in death of more than 26 individuals. These attackers targeted the victims on the basis of their religion. This incident is also one of the deadliest attacks on civilians in recent years.  What happened is not just sad it was something that should not have happened at all. This attack was completely a result of failure of the authority that was supposed to protect the people. After any such incident the government makes big promises about increasing the security and protecting the people but at last only the words remain. , It is very upsetting to think of what could have been done to prevent this attack only if the authority had done its job properly. They were clear science that more security was needed but of course nobody acted on it, and it's always the innocent people who have to suffer the consequences. And the government just expect as t...

Kunal Kamra Case: Understanding the Power of Speech

Image
Kunal kamra's recent performance has sparked some debates where he targeted Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde by referring to him as a gaddar (traitor) mocking Shinde's 2022 politician defection. Many of Shinde's supporters ransacked the habitat comedy club which was the venue of the performance and legal action against Kamra has also been taken. His jokes have led to a violent attack on the venue which completely showcased how a joke about a political humour can go wrong.  Although almost every comedian in his or her act often targets the political system, then why is it that he is being highlighted?  Are the citizens not even allowed to express themselves? should they just hold their mouths and say nothing? Yes, his jokes were harsh, but they were not intended to cause any harm. Humor is the best possible way to address any pressing issue but one must consider a fine line between comedy and targeting the system. The irony of this case is ho...

SIMPLICITY IN THE COUNTRYSIDE !

HI READERS! Yesterday we went to our first field visit and I'd like to share my experience about the same. We visited a nearby village and I got the chance to explore village life in depth. For someone like me who's grown up in city , it was a great privilege to experience the same.  Our venerated faculty members Mr. Vinod and Dr. Rahul Kumar guided us throughout our visit. We all eagerly left the campus, the weather was very humid but our excitement overtook it. We came across the Railway lines. I had never walked on railway tracks before yesterday and that experience was overwhelming. After continuous walking for a few minutes, we finally reached our destination; i.e Chaheru Village . Villages often provide us with a better social structure, and all of the people I met in the village were very hospitable.  It was hot and humid, and a very kind and generous lady offered us some drinks while we were interacting with her. She and her son together run a 'dhaba', offering ...
