Women had the right to choose their mate something we fail to see in the modern date. Our culture is great, but have we lost it to hate?
India’s culture is great and yet people berate,
They know nothing of our country and yet talk rubbish and sultry,
For this is the land of adoptions where women had the right to abortions.
Where Kamasutra was seen as a book of love and a sacred act and a treasure trove.
Women had the right to choose their mate something we fail to see in the modern date.
The love marriage of Shiva and Sati was celebrated and the live-in love of Radha Krishna was never isolated.
No caste or creed arose on the mainland And stories of LGBTQ were never banned.
Our architecture speaks of our glory but when did everything turn so gory?
Our land got infested with female foeticide and more “Is it really our country?” People believed no more,
Talks of the day are honour killing and love jihad even God wonders how his country got so mad!
We celebrate Kamala Harris and shun Sonia Gandhi and Nehru we condemn Akbar and paint his cities bleu.
We increase the religious and caste divide and follow the NIMBY syndrome we catch other faiths and compel them to sing “Om.”
The condition of women is worsening day by day and yet we lock our daughters and send our sons out to play,
In this scenario we are affected by floods and droughts simultaneously for the fury of Gods and Nature is no longer taking it radiantly,
COVID and Amphan are simple acts till date Nature will wipe us down with fury O human just wait,
This is a country where “unity in diversity” is the dream please do not make the citizens die and scream,
Let us make India as great as it was take it back not just to the Vedas, but to Indus valley as t’was,
My India is great and so are the people give them a second chance and do not make us beetles.
Let us live and thrive every day And help rebuild India much much greater than today!

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
