At the rate our population is surging, we will, by 2027, surpass china to become the most populated nation in the world with a projected population of about 1.5 billion. This clearly shows that India suffers from a major population explosion

The image of Pakistan in the world is much akin to that of Congress in India. The only difference being that unlike Pakistan, Congress doesn’t lack in party funds. It cannot be denied that whether by Prime Minister Narendra Modi or on its own, Pakistan is now set on the path to a tragic end

A community of folk theatre artistes, the Bhands, travel from village to village in colourful outfits carrying the dhol, nagara and the sornai (a wooden flute). Their skits use lampoons, music and dance, to bring up problematic issues in politics, society and in religion.

The recent death of a two-year-old male tiger in the Panna Tiger Reserve, the most critical tiger habitat in the country, raises hard hitting questions. Is the reserve running out of space for the growing number of tigers? And, what happens if the Ken-Betwa river linking project submerges a major portion of the core area of the Tiger Reserve?

Jaipur has an old tradition of flying kites on Makar Sankranti. It is said that Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh loved the tradition of kite flying and brought it to Jaipur. Special kites made of cloth that were called ‘Tukkal’ were made for the royals who used to fly them from the palace terrace. Kite-flying later became a community event on Sakrant.
