British Parliament

Labour and India~I

The British Labour Party, led by Keir Starmer, won a landslide victory in the General Elections held in July 2024 winning 412 out of a total of 650 seats in the House of Commons, thereby ending the 14-year long Conservative rule in Britain.

The turncoat’s day

The General Elections, slated to begin shortly, have begun to resemble a roadside circus, if not theatre of the absurd. Ignoring pressing problems facing the country like poverty, unemployment, inflation and climate change, politicians incessantly talk of issues long buried in history, and worse still, caste, creed and religion.

New Age Prophet~II

Historically, Rammohun discovered that the ancient Vedic period was a golden era but the subsequent distortions led to idolatry, multiplicity of divinity, child marriage, and prohibition of widow remarriage, sati, caste system and priesthood. He argued very convincingly that these widespread contemporary practices did not have roots in the Vedas and Upanishads and the task, therefore, was to restore the original tradition.
