RELIGION CAN NEVER REFORM MANKIND BECAUSE RELIGION IS SLAVERY  - ROBERT GREEN IGNERSOLL  To begin with, her mother was a Devadasi… She never knew the meaning of this word, and her mother wouldn’t break words about it. She would always ask who was her father but all she would get as a reply was silence.  She was always bullied in the village and none of her peers would mingle with her, even her mother never spent time with her. It was as though the whole village had outcast her. Sometimes she used to sit in the field all alone with tears brooking down and there was only one question running in her thoughts. Why? She did get her answer eventually when she attained her puberty.It was her time to become a Devadasi. The Devadasi System Devadasis are women who are given or offered to the temple at a very young age, to the service of god, but they are actually enslaved in the name of tradition and religion. Even though it is a social evil, the olden days we...

Not all of us can do great things but we can do small things with great love -Mother Teresa   Love is such a beautiful emotion and it is abundant in the nature. It is the only thing which we can share without any limit, yet we cage it within our great minds, rather than setting it free by our little hearts. Why does true love, only exist in novels and films and why not in the reality? Why do we always expect to be loved, when we don’t love others?   What does love really mean? Why is it so complicated? Or is it? Love-Space-Time Continuum Love is infinite, it stretches across space and time, and binds us together in an unending loop of humanity. Some say love is just a chemical reaction. Yes, indeed but it is no lesser than a chemical reaction occurring in a nuke.  Love is more precious than it seems and holds a greater purpose, but it has turned into an illusion in the minds of the millennials, they tend to think that true love is being in relationship with a p...

ANY FOOL CAN KNOW, THE POINT IS TO UNDERSTAND  - ALBERT EINSTEIN  Whenever there is a question. “What is education?” there came a universal answer, that it is a process of acquisition of knowledge. Then there comes another question “what is knowledge?” and it is nothing but understanding something. So, in a nutshell education and knowledge are the same side of a coin. But is it? We would have come across this situation where people used to ask us what is your ambition? some of us would have quoted to be an engineer and some to be a doctor but have we ever said “I want to become a knowledgeable person? “  THE CHAIN   Our modern society has monetized everything, in which knowledge is not an exception. The commercialized concept of knowledge is what we call education and these educational institutions are privatized training centers cum marketing agencies, where students are its customers. The only goal of these institutions is...

  Every flower which blooms is plucked. Every flower is let to bloom just to be plucked.   WOMEN , have always been subjected to constant suffering. May it be patriarchy or may it be sexual harassment, they undergo psychological stress everyday and it is to such an extent that those sufferings have become a part of their life. Especially in our Indian society where mensuration is considered as impure, an exposing bra strap is thought to be against the cultural norm, a woman embracing her sexuality is considered as a sin. An Indian woman is caged behind the bars of religion and its insensitive traditions. While, one religion bounds women with cultural stereotypes another religion performs the so-called purity acts of brutality in the name of tradition. Female Genital Mutilation is one such tradition…  BLED THROUGH AGES   FGM is basically an unethical and a non-clinical method of removing or partial nicking of clitoris and other...

“THE GREATNESS OF HUMANITY IS NOT IN BEING HUMAN,  BUT IN BEING HUMANE “– Mahatma Gandhi. Being humane is something which only lies in protest boards and long-lost quotes. Humanity has been under regression for a great period of time, making us more animalistic. Every now and then we hear news about brutal incidents across the globe. Recently, George Floyd’s death shook the world for its gravity of brutality. The worst part of these incidents is that, it is committed by the ones who are supposed to stop this very act of crime. The Police, under the name of authority has been committing vicious crimes upon innocent civilians, just to quench their simple urge of ego.   There have been many police brutality cases recorded in India as well. A recent death of a father and son has triggered a spark among the people of this particular town called Sathankulam, because it was not just a death… but a   cold-blooded murder by the Khakis.  ...
