Thus, the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS) was established in Kolkata on July 29, 1876.Sat, 22 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55665/hail-to-pioneers-the-legacy-of-iacshttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55658/gender-justiceB.S. Ramulu mounts a direct challenge to progressive movements that treat gender oppression as a secondary issue - one that can wait until after a decisive class or caste victory. In his analysis, control over women’s sexuality, bodies, and reproductive choices constitutes the primary mechanism through which caste endogamy and intergenerational property concentration are maintained.Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55658/gender-justicehttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55655/licence-to-kill-permission-to-feedWelcome to the Republic of Selective Compassion. Here, apparently, killing can be an industry. Selling flesh can be commerce. Buying meat can be personal choice. But feeding the hungry? Ah! Now we need a committee meeting. Now we need WhatsApp messages. Now we need security guards. Now somebody must summon the secretary of the Residents Welfare Association. Because nothing threatens civilization quite like a bowl of rice placed before a hungry dog.Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55655/licence-to-kill-permission-to-feedhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55654/gen-zs-grammar-of-politicsPolitics has always been a language of power, persuasion and participation. But today, that language is undergoing a dramatic transformation. The arrival of Gen Z-the generation born into the internet, smartphones and social media-has altered not merely how politics is communicated, but also how political ideas are formed, challenged and circulated. The generation gap in politics is therefore no longer simply about age; it is increasingly about language, technology, values and modes of engagement.Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55654/gen-zs-grammar-of-politicshttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55636/centre-state-relations-under-strainIndia’s Constitution gives the Union strong powers, but it does not establish a unitary system.

Even today, when people are asked (both men and women) what an ideal wife should be like, many will answer: 'She should be like Sita.”'But if someone asks me what an ideal woman should be like – my answer will be: Sita.

A civilisation is ultimately judged by a deeper measure: how it treated knowledge, how it responded to dissent, and how much freedom it allowed its institutions of learning. Fortresses crumble, armies disappear and empires dissolve. Knowledge, however, survives generations. It is precisely for this reason that every authoritarian system seeking permanence comes to view questioning minds as a threat.Sun, 02 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55604/when-power-fears-knowledgehttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55595/sanatana-dharma-and-modern-politicsIndian Sanatana Dharma is far more than a set of ritualistic practices; it is a profound philosophy designed to regulate human life and maintain social equilibrium. To ensure social well-being and a natural, unhindered transition of leadership, the ancient sages formulated the 'Chaturashrama Dharmas' (Brahmacharya, Grihastha, Vanaprastha, and Sannyasa). In modern times, the public and private sectors strictly implement retirement between the ages of 60 and 65, creating space for youth. Yet, in the political arena—which shapes the destiny of the nation, this principle is conspicuously absent.Sat, 01 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55595/sanatana-dharma-and-modern-politicshttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55594/the-day-compassion-became-suspiciousFor years, feeding stray dogs in public spaces was widely seen not merely as an emotional act, but as an extension of constitutional morality under Article 51A(g) of the Constitution of India, which calls upon every citizen 'to have compassion for living creatures.' Courts across India, including earlier judicial observations and guidelines, repeatedly emphasized that animal feeders could not be arbitrarily harassed and that coexistence between humans and animals had to be maintained through balance, regulation, and civic responsibility.Fri, 31 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55594/the-day-compassion-became-suspicioushttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55585/a-street-dogs-letter-to-the-republicSat, 25 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55585/a-street-dogs-letter-to-the-republichttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55572/aging-parents-and-the-decline-of-joint-familiesThe Indian joint family system used to be the backbone of society. It was more than just a living arrangement; it was a network of love, security, and shared responsibility. Grandparents, parents, children, uncles, aunts, and cousins lived together, providing emotional support at every stage of life. Today, however, this tradition is slowly fading, giving rise to nuclear families and a new challenge—the increasing loneliness of aging parents. Rapid urbanization, job opportunities, and globalization have changed family dynamics.Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55572/aging-parents-and-the-decline-of-joint-familieshttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55570/justice-delayed-justice-unknownHow many Indians who entered a police station, tribunal, consumer forum, family court, labor court, civil court, high court, or the Supreme Court actually received justice?

Yet, quietly, this country has also created another great doctrine. It is not found in the Constitution. It is not written in the Vedas. It is absent from every law book.

Extraordinary accomplishments were recognised as something special. But today, the situation has changed completely.

Abandoned horses pull overloaded carts. Injured cows wander on highways with plastic in their stomachs. Puppies are discarded in sacks. Cats are poisoned because they are considered a nuisance. Pet animals are abandoned when they become old, sick, or inconvenient.Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55550/the-court-of-compassionhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55543/insights-from-gandhian-philosophyMahatma Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence (Ahimsa) remains a cornerstone for contemporary peacebuilding and conflict resolution strategies. Rooted in the pursuit of truth (Satyagraha), Ahimsa transcends mere passive resistance, embodying active love, empathy, and moral force. This paper explores the foundational principles of Gandhian non-violence, its applications in historical and modern conflict scenarios, and its enduring relevance amid global challenges like ethnic strife and climate-induced disputes.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55543/insights-from-gandhian-philosophyhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55542/compassion-by-permissionA society that tolerates smoking, drinking, littering, noise pollution, and environmental destruction but becomes agitated by someone feeding a hungry animal needs serious introspection. The issue is not merely about dogs. It is about the shrinking boundaries of human empathy. The hungry dog does not know municipal boundaries. The bird does not understand residential associations. The injured animal does not recognize property lines. Only humans have mastered the art of drawing invisible borders around their compassion.Sat, 04 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55542/compassion-by-permissionhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55540/the-constitution-government-schoolsIndia proudly describes itself as a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic. This is not merely a constitutional declaration in the Preamble; it is a guiding principle that every institution of the State, especially the public education system, is expected to uphold. Against this backdrop, the recent judgment of the Chhattisgarh High Court, holding that students in government schools cannot be compelled to recite Hindu prayers, is far more than a decision concerning a single school. It is a timely reaffirmation of the constitutional values of freedom of conscience, religious liberty, and secular education.Sat, 04 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55540/the-constitution-government-schoolshttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55538/pension-without-serviceWhy should a person receive multiple pensions merely because he or she held multiple elected offices?

However, when people lack the ability to respond to opposing views through reason and debate, some individuals and organized groups choose obscenity as their weapon. What is happening today on social media platforms has reached a dangerous level. Instead of arguments, there are abuses; instead of evidence, there are false accusations; instead of discussions, there are threats; and instead of democratic dialogue, there is character assassination.

On one side, modern medicine has undoubtedly improved human life expectancy, reduced deaths from infectious diseases, and developed advanced technologies capable of saving millions of lives. On the other side, the same healthcare system is increasingly facing criticism for transforming itself into a massive profit-driven corporate industry.

Now in the twenty-first century we are seeing that advent of AI is transforming the way wars are being fought.

That framing is shallow. The real issue is whether a privately owned but publicly licensed entertainment venue may lawfully convert entry into a captive-consumer environment and then leverage that captivity to control food choice, impose medical exclusionary conditions, and extract supercompetitive prices for basic consumables. In Indian law as it currently stands, the answer is uncomfortable: the Supreme Court has held that, in the absence of a statutory restraint, a theater owner may prohibit outside food as part of its conditions of entry.
