Savitribai Phule's Poem: And you yearn not for the same

 And you yearn not for the same,

You posses intellect but work not on the same,
How then can you be called a human being?
Birds, animals, monkeys, human beings too,
All go through life and death
But if you gain no knowledge about this,
How then can you be called a human being?

Indian Leaders Connections in Jeffrey Epstein's America Papers

  Indian Connections in  Jeffrey Epstein's  America Papers  The term "America papers" in this context likely refers to recently released documents from Jeffrey Epstein's emails, calendars, and communications, declassified by the U.S. House Oversight Committee in November 2025. These files, part of ongoing investigations into Epstein's network (the convicted sex offender who died in 2019), reveal his attempts at influence peddling among global elites, including Indian political and business figures. The disclosures have sparked a political row in India between the BJP (ruling party) and Congress (opposition), but they do not allege direct involvement in Epstein's crimes—only mentions of scheduled meetings, invitations, and brokered introductions.

Matadin Bhangi: A Dalit hero of 1857 Revolt

Image
  Matadin Bhangi was one of the Dalit heroes of 1857 Revolt who is seen as the one to have inspired the 1857 War of Independence and not Mangal Pandey that the elite history claims. The narrative for Matadin Bhangi published by D C Dinkar in “Swatantra Sangram Mein Achhuton Ka Yogdan” (1990) is given in the following words:  "There was a factory in Barrackpore where cartridges were manufactured. Many of the workers of this factory belonged to the untouchable communities. One day one of the workers felt thirsty. He asked a soldier for a mug of water. That soldier was Mangal Pandey. Mangal Pandey, a Brahmin, refused him water because the worker was an untouchable. This was very humiliating for the worker. He retaliated to the Brahmin soldier saying, “ Bara awa hai Brahaman ka beta. Jin kartuson ka tum upayog karat ho, unpar gaaye or suar ki charbi lagawal jaat hai, jinhe tum apan daatun se torkar banduk mein bharat ho. O samay tomhar jati aur dharam kahan jawat. Dhikkar tumhare ...
