In today's world, superpowers distrust each other, but instead of relying solely on old tactics like espionage, deception, and direct attacks, they have introduced new strategies under the guise of "national security." This often involves targeting a specific community—one that had previously been persecuted by both crusaders and communists. Europe, already embroiled in hatred, further complicated matters by establishing Israel, a nation whose people had long been supported by this same community. Now, to justify their actions, the powers that be create scapegoats, labeling them as terrorists. The internet, once a symbol of freedom, has been reshaped by these superpowers to monitor and control, turning it into a tool for data domination. This new era of "data monarchy" has become the weapon of choice, leaving little space for true freedom in the world.
India shines with festivals — Navratri, Dussehra, Eid, Christmas, Onam — they bring joy and togetherness. But somewhere in the noise, days that once shaped our conscience — Gandhi Jayanti, Ambedkar Jayanti, Constitution Day, Human Rights Day — quietly fade away. Festivals are beautiful, but they are not the whole story. A society is not judged by how loud it celebrates, but by how fair, just, and humane it remains. If we only remember rituals and forget values like equality, truth, and dignity, then celebration becomes shallow. Let’s celebrate festivals with joy, but also give space to the days that remind us why we are human. Both are needed — colors for the eyes, and values for the soul.
