At Jantar Mantar, a protester’s warning about democracy reflects the July police clashes and the right to dissent

Pulwama: Satya Pal Malik’s aircraft and silence allegations, and what the investigations actually found

Did priests turn fear of God into a trade? What research says about religious authority and its origins

A Hindi reel argues that priests turned fear of hell, hope of heaven and offerings into a business. Historical and cross-cultural research supports examining fear, religious authority and material support—but not the claim that priesthood began as a single deliberate fraud.

Delhi’s July student protests on UK TV and Indian TV: What the contrasting coverage reveals

A July Instagram reel contrasted Sky News’ reporting on Delhi’s Cockroach movement with Indian TV.

The 2018 approval rule at the centre of claims that Modi weakened CBI independence

A reel attributed to former interim CBI chief M. Nageswara Rao alleges the Modi government changed the law to shield itself from future investigations. Section 17A really did place an approval barrier before certain corruption probes, and Supreme Court judges split over its validity in 2026. The claim about the government's motive remains unproven.

Why Indian citizens may fear the police while children in a US park approach an officer without hesitation

A reel shows an American officer welcoming children into his patrol car. For many in India, the contrast raises a harder question: why can approaching police feel risky rather than reassuring?
