Fasting or Feasting
What is needed is to reclaim Ramadan, consciously and conscientiously and to shred away the false accretions attached to it to realise its spirit and to wake up to its true call.
In the Cycle of Scams
The concerned must ask themselves as to why they have normalised this cycle of despair for students here? What would it take for concerned institutions to respect the sanctity of hard work? When will these authorities and institutions work with the spirit of honesty towards making employability realisable for the deserving?

The Case for Handicrafts
What is culture and civilization but a fabric made of the warp and woof of these socio-economic mores, cultural continuities and the signatures of indigenous and vernacular goods. As the threads loosen, one after the other, the fabric of culture will clove asunder without much attention
The Case for Mother Tongue

Aping the West
When nations and cultures copied other people blindly, not were they only scolded by contemporary seers, but this blind aping hastened their decline and evaporated their traces from the world.
Administrative Apathy
The change in ethical outlook and moral attitude isn’t enough when speaking about changes in administrative workings and when a systemic change is aimed at. This invariably directs our attention to the administrative reforms themselves and the presence of self-correcting mechanisms within the system itself
