Hyma Sagi – NRI lady leaving for India to join politics on her own terms

Last updated on: April 18, 2012 at 12:23 am By Desh Kapoor

There are many people who want to do something for India. They want to go back. But very few can. Of those, still few can go back to dedicate their lives to something larger than themselves. Very few people in this world can indeed be driven by their passion. I have been lucky to know one such lady – Hyma Sagi or Hyma Praveen. Praveen and Hyma have been my friends for last 3 years. They are an amazing couple.... Read more

Volunteering, the way it was meant to be

Last updated on: April 16, 2012 at 10:07 pm By Desh Kapoor

We had trekked all the way to Kedarnath and back and after a day’s travel, with our legs in pain, we landed in Uttarkashi. We gathered for dinner, and while we all went after food, we saw this one unhappy traveller start his long and high pitched cribbing session with a Swami sitting with him listening intently with complete empathy. Basically, this guy wanted attention. More attention that he thought he was getting. So, at 9.30 pm he started off... Read more

Varna, Caste System, and Skin Color: Shallow understanding and Dubious arguments

Last updated on: November 1, 2022 at 3:53 pm By Desh Kapoor

There is a sad problem with those who consider themselves “Hindus” in India and those who comment on the larger history of the Hindus. Personally, I don’t like this term because it boxes India’s historical ethos into a box. Indians prior to religious invasions were “Dharma” oriented. So Dharmic. Religion is a restrictive concept. “In the ancient scriptures, epics, or folk tales, the good character is always portrayed as being fair in complexion, suggesting that the fair are fair dealing...

Blame the Rape Victim courtesy Delhi Police

Last updated on: April 6, 2012 at 11:32 pm By Desh Kapoor

In a recent investigation by NDTV and Tehelka into the rapes in Delhi and how the law enforcement handles and looks at them, there was a stunning revelation: Most senior cops are hostile to the victims and blame them for their own rape. In a two-week long investigation, Abhishek Bhalla and G Vishnu spoke to more than 30 senior cops in the Delhi-NCR region. More than half had shockingly ugly views on rape victims. This is the face of law... Read more

Last updated on: April 6, 2012 at 2:31 pm By Desh Kapoor

Sometimes you find that news these days tests one’s sanity. Here are two pieces of news that made me wonder a bit: Lady Gaga gets an Osho tattoo: The pop diva Lady Gaga is now playing around with things profound. So as an extension of that, she thinks Osho tattoo may be a rather cool thing to adorn her body. After this news, I tried to read about the life and controversies surrounding Osho.

Happiness:Our right and our obligation

Last updated on: March 29, 2012 at 5:31 am By jessicafick

S.V.Divvaakar When we say that God made us all equal, what does it really mean? Does it mean that He meant for all of us to have the same things in the same measure? Perhaps, He meant for all of us to be able to attain Happiness despite all our surroundings and circumstances. What then is this Happiness? I tried out a number of descriptions, even queried a few people I know can talk sense, particularly after a couple of... Read more

Western Hindu: What does Hinduism mean to me

Last updated on: March 28, 2012 at 5:30 pm By jessicafick

Sometime back, I had a series of discussions with people who weren’t born Hindus but now have embraced Hinduism. I wanted to ask them about their experience and reasons for taking such a journey. Here is a discussion with Tāṇḍava Nadesan, who runs a blog Western Hindu, which I am sure you will profit from. 1. How did you know for the first time that you were a “Hindu”? What did it mean? This is a very difficult question to... Read more
