  Atrocities against Dalits in BJP-Ruled States Atrocities against Dalits (members of Scheduled Castes) remain a persistent issue in India, with official data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) showing a troubling rise in reported cases. Under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) governments at the center and in several states, critics, including opposition leaders and human rights organizations, have highlighted a pattern of increased violence, often linked to caste discrimination. BJP-ruled states like Uttar Pradesh (UP), Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh (MP), and Odisha consistently top the charts for such crimes. While the government attributes higher reporting to greater awareness and better enforcement of laws like the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (PoA Act), activists argue that the surge reflects systemic failures and a permissive environment for caste-based violence.

  FIR against the people who made bad remark on CJI Gavai of Supreme court   The controversy stems from remarks made by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Bhushan Ramkrishna (B.R.) Gavai on September 16, 2025, during a Supreme Court hearing on a petition seeking the reconstruction and reinstallation of a 7-foot idol of Lord Vishnu at the Javari Temple in Madhya Pradesh's Khajuraho (a UNESCO World Heritage site). CJI Gavai, heading the bench, dismissed the plea as a "publicity interest litigation" and remarked, "Go and ask the deity himself to do something.

The situation escalated on October 6, 202...

 T he Sanatan Dharma in Crisis in Indian Politics The term "Sanatan Crisis" (often spelled "Sanatana Crisis") has emerged in Indian political discourse to describe a series of escalating controversies, rhetorical battles, and social tensions surrounding Sanatana Dharma —the "eternal order" or traditional framework of Hinduism. It encapsulates debates over the role of Hindu identity in national politics, accusations of majoritarianism, and perceived existential threats to Hindu traditions from conversions, opposition rhetoric, and minority appeasement. While rooted in the 2023 remarks by Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin (who likened Sanatana Dharma to diseases like dengue and malaria, sparking nationwide outrage and Supreme Court petitions), the crisis has intensified in 2025 amid election cycles, communal polarization, and high-profile incidents. This has pitted the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayam...
