But I thought democracy was already dead in India…

NEW | The Assembly election in Bengal suggests India is moving from a flawed democracy towards a Russian-style managed democracy, where elections are increasingly engineered to favour the ruling party. Debasish Roy Chowdhury (@Planet_Deb) ✍️ frontline.thehindu.com/politics/manag…

Yes! It should be.
Everytime a state’s population increases more than 25-30 Million, it should be automatically split.
Jasveer Singh@jasveer10
UP should be split into multiple states. Managing 250 million people under one Chief Minister is basically like managing a country, almost equivalent to the population of the US. When Someone says - I’m from UP and the first question should actually be: ‘UP East or UP West?’😄 Because those two feel like completely different worlds pretending to be one state. The way people speak in Noida, Ghaziabad, Meerut side feels completely different from Gorakhpur, Ballia, Azamgarh side. The language changes, slang changes, vibe changes, everything.

So religion is not separate from culture. In fact, religion evolves from culture.
Religion is culture that became sacred, systematized, inherited, and institutionalized.

but their deeper ritual universe is still recognizably connected. Birth, marriage, death, sacred time, pilgrimage, karma, dharma, family rites, ancestor memory, etc. are not minor details. They are the architecture of civilization and culture.

If you think culture begins with kebabs and ends with coke studio, by that standard, half the world becomes culturally identical after dinner and a good playlist. But culture isn’t a menu card at all posh South Delhi restaurant!

Only those who reduce culture to biryani, vocabulary, Bollywood songs, and pre-Partition nostalgia believe in this BS. Culture is not just food and accent. Culture is also how a child is named, how marriage is solemnized, how the dead are treated, +

@Waraich_PS Someone wise said BJO is fighting Punjab,nit to win but to stop congress from winning.. then take over their base.
English
In Punjab, Congress is the original Hindu party. Before AAP, Akalis were the Sikh party. Small swing vote used to decide the winner.
AAP destroyed all those permutations and combinations. Disenchantment with AAP and anti BJP sentiment means advantage Congress…
Abhinav Katyal@ASKatyal
There's no depth in any of these analysis. Its already known that BJP vote overlaps with INC pan state. BJP can grow mostly at the expense of INC. If INC wins next election, BJP growth will be delayed for long. Voter has to be convinced that INC is going down for BJP to rise.

what festivals define the year, what gods or scriptures are invoked, what family law applies, and what moral universe people inhabit.
No North Indian would feel closer to a Pakistani on any of these markers.

Fun fact: the cultural distance between North and South India is actually greater than that between North India and Pakistan.

The central premise of India’s so-called secularism debate is hilariously unsecular: that only a Muslim can represent a Muslim. That is opposite of secularism.
A hill the Indian Republic would gladly die on is communal electorates which @ShekharGupta subtly hints at.

Muslim voters no longer matter to BJP. Only a new Hindu-led coalition can challenge the Modi-Shah BJP… #NationalInterest Illustration by Shruti Naithani @Shruu_art theprint.in/national-inter…

Office of the governor is a part of the basic structure of the Indian Constitution. Any mischief with the office would need a new constituent assembly. Are you ready to have that debate?
Supriya Shrinate@SupriyaShrinate
The time has come for a serious debate on the relevance of Governors in states. Why should the country continue to bear the burden of BJP puppets in Raj Bhavans - whose sole aim is to push the BJP’s partisan agenda, harass the opposition, and undermine the people’s mandate?

Red herring! Jana gana mana too invokes an “adhinayak” and a “bhagya vidhata”. Depending on one’s politics, it could either be twisted to mean king George V, or as Tagore himself clarified: the divine charioteer holding the reins of India’s desitiny.
Who’s the divine charioteer?
Asaduddin Owaisi@asadowaisi
Vande Mataram is an ode to a goddess. It cannot be treated on par with the national anthem. Jana Gana Mana celebrates India and its people, not a particular religion. Religion ≠ nation. The man who wrote Vande Mataram was sympathetic to the British Raj and despised Muslims. Netaji Bose, Gandhi, Nehru, and Tagore all rejected it. The Preamble to the Constitution of India begins with “We, the People” — not “Bharat Maa”. It promises “liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship”. The very first provision of the Constitution, Article 1, describes “India, that is Bharat” as a Union of States. In the Constituent Assembly, some members wanted the Preamble to begin in the name of a goddess; they specifically invoked Vande Mataram. Others wanted it to begin “In the name of God” and to replace “its citizens” with “her citizens”. All these amendments were defeated. India, that is Bharat, is its people. The nation is not a goddess; it does not run in the name of a god or goddess, and it does not belong to one god or goddess. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/cabinet-…
