  The Kottankulangara SriDevi Temple's Chamayavilakku Annual Festival in Kerala's Kollam District has been making headlines for an unusual tradition that takes place during the festivities. Every year, on the seventh day of the festival, men dress up as women and take part in a grand procession that is an integral part of the celebrations. The tradition, known as 'Chamayavilakku,' has been in practice for over a century and is said to have originated from a belief that the goddess Devi, who is worshipped at the temple, prefers offerings from women. As a result, men dress up in traditional women's clothing and offer prayers and offerings to the goddess. The festival sees men of all ages, including young boys, participate in the procession dressed in colorful sarees, jewelry, and makeup. The participants also carry pots of rice on their heads, which are offered to the goddess as part of the rituals. The Chamayavilakku procession is not just a religious ritual but also

Uddhav Thackeray warns Rahul Gandhi against insulting Veer Savarkar

Image
  Uddhav Thackeray, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, recently warned Rahul Gandhi against insulting Veer Savarkar, a prominent leader of the Indian independence movement. Thackeray's warning came after Gandhi, who is the leader of the Indian National Congress party, made remarks critical of Savarkar's legacy. Savarkar, who lived from 1883 to 1966, was a proponent of Hindu nationalism and a leader of the Hindu Mahasabha party. He was also a vocal critic of the Indian independence movement led by Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress. Despite this, he is widely regarded as a hero by many in the Hindu nationalist movement, and his legacy is the subject of ongoing debate in India. Gandhi's comments about Savarkar came during a rally in Delhi, where he criticized the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for what he saw as their attempt to co-opt Savarkar's legacy for political gain. He called Savarkar a "traitor" who begged for mercy from the British whe

On this day, 3 years to Covid-19 lockdown India

Image
  In March 2020, India implemented one of the strictest lockdowns in the world in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The nationwide lockdown was imposed on March 25, 2020, and lasted for 68 days until May 31, 2020. It was later followed by several local lockdowns in different parts of the country. The lockdown was necessary to curb the spread of the virus and prevent the healthcare system from collapsing. However, it had a severe impact on the economy and the livelihoods of millions of people, particularly those in the informal sector. The lockdown was initially supposed to last for three weeks, but it was extended multiple times due to the rising number of Covid-19 cases. The government announced a series of measures to support vulnerable populations during the lockdown, such as providing free food rations and cash transfers. However, many people still faced significant difficulties, particularly those who were stranded in different parts of the country due to travel restrictions. As

Are AAP leaders Raghav Chadha and Parineeti Chopra dating each other

Image
  There have been rumors circulating on social media and certain news outlets that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Raghav Chadha and Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra are dating each other. However, there is no concrete evidence to suggest that this is true. While Raghav Chadha and Parineeti Chopra have been spotted together on a few occasions, there is no confirmation from either party that they are in a relationship. It is important to note that public figures often interact with each other for professional reasons, and it is not uncommon for them to be seen together in public. Moreover, it is unfair to speculate on the personal lives of public figures without concrete evidence. It is essential to respect their privacy and refrain from spreading baseless rumors that can harm their reputation. Both Raghav Chadha and Parineeti Chopra have busy schedules and professional commitments, and it is unlikely that they would publicly comment on such rumors. Therefore, it is best to treat these r

  Rahul Gandhi, the former president of the Indian National Congress, has been barred from serving in the Lok Sabha following his conviction in a criminal defamation case. The case was related to his statement about the Modi surname during the Lok Sabha election campaign in 2019. In his statement, Rahul Gandhi had allegedly accused the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its leader, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, of promoting the interests of a few industrialists who shared the Modi surname. The statement had sparked controversy and a criminal defamation case was filed against Rahul Gandhi by a BJP leader After a prolonged legal battle, Rahul Gandhi was convicted by a court in May 2019 and sentenced to a fine and a jail term. However, he was granted bail and the sentence was suspended pending an appeal. Despite the suspension of his sentence, Rahul Gandhi was barred from serving in the Lok Sabha as of the date of his conviction. The disqualification was based on the provisions of th

Image
 Mukesh Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries, has retained his position as the wealthiest person in Asia for the third year in a row.

Australia win by 21 runs, Seal series with 2-1

Image
  The third and final One Day International (ODI) match between India and Australia was a thrilling encounter that took place on the 2nd of December, 2020 at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, Australia. India had already lost the first two matches in the three-match series and was looking to avoid a whitewash. Australia won the toss and elected to bat first. They got off to a solid start with their opening batsmen, Aaron Finch and David Warner, adding 142 runs for the first wicket. Finch scored a century while Warner scored a half-century. Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne also chipped in with valuable contributions as Australia posted a mammoth total of 302 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in their allotted 50 overs. Chasing a target of 303 runs, India got off to a good start with their opening batsmen, Shikhar Dhawan, and Shubman Gill, adding 58 runs for the first wicket.

Hardik Pandya ends Steve Smith's misery as Australian captain goes back for a duck in IND vs AUS 3rd ODI

Image
  In the recent IND vs AUS 3rd ODI, Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya brought an end to Australian captain Steve Smith's misery by dismissing him for a duck. Smith had been struggling with the bat in the series so far, and his dismissal only added to his woes. Pandya bowled a short delivery that Smith tried to pull, but only managed to top-edge it to Indian wicketkeeper KL Rahul. The dismissal was a crucial moment in the game, as Smith is one of the best batsmen in the world and a key player for the Australian team. His early dismissal put pressure on the Australian middle-order, and they eventually crumbled under the Indian bowling attack, scoring a paltry total of 286 runs in their allotted 50 overs. Pandya's performance in the match was outstanding, as he not only took the wicket of Smith but also scored a quickfire 92 runs off just 76 balls. His all-round performance helped India secure a convincing victory in the match and take a 2-1 lead in the series. The Indian team will

Sisodia requests court to allow him carry these books in judicial custody

Image
Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister, Manish Sisodia, has requested a court to allow him to carry certain books in judicial custody. Sisodia, who is currently in judicial custody due to his alleged involvement in a riot case, has asked the court to allow him to carry books related to the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and social reformer BR Ambedkar. Sisodia's request is not without precedent. In the past, several prisoners have been allowed to carry books with them while in jail. The reasoning behind this is that reading can be an excellent way to pass the time and keep the mind occupied. Moreover, books can be a source of inspiration, education, and self-improvement. The books that Sisodia has requested to carry are particularly significant, given his background as a political leader. Mahatma Gandhi and BR Ambedkar are both revered figures in India, known for their contributions to India's independence movement and their social reform efforts. The teachings of Gandhi and Ambedkar a

Pro-Khalistan Twitter accounts blocked in India, Canadian lawmaker Jagmeet Singh’s included

Image
  Recently, Twitter has blocked several pro-Khalistan accounts in India, including the account of Canadian lawmaker Jagmeet Singh. The move has sparked controversy, with some supporting the blocking of these accounts, while others criticize it as an attack on free speech. Khalistan is a movement that seeks to create a separate Sikh state in the Punjab region of India. The movement has been active for decades and has sometimes resorted to violence to achieve its goals. The Indian government has designated Khalistan as a terrorist organization and has been cracking down on the movement's supporters. Twitter's decision to block the pro-Khalistan accounts came after the Indian government raised concerns about their content. The government accused the accounts of spreading propaganda and inciting violence. Twitter complied with the government's request to block the accounts, citing its policies on hate speech and violent extremism. However, the move was not without controversy.

This statement has gained significant attention in the media and political circles across the country. The term "TRP" refers to Television Rating Points, which are used to measure the popularity of TV shows and channels.

India's Epic Tricolour Reply To Khalistani Supporters In London

Image
On August 15, 2021, India celebrated its 75th Independence Day. The occasion was marked with great pride and joy across the country, as well as by Indian communities around the world. However, in London, a group of Khalistani supporters attempted to disrupt the festivities by hoisting a separate flag at the Indian High Commission. Khalistan is a separatist movement seeking an independent state for Sikhs in Punjab, India. Despite being outlawed by the Indian government, some Khalistani groups continue to operate in various parts of the world, including in the UK. In response to the provocative act, a group of Indian diaspora members in London came together to display a massive Indian tricolour flag. The flag, measuring 18 feet by 12 feet, was unfurled at the iconic Trafalgar Square in the heart of London. The gesture was meant to assert India's sovereignty and to send a strong message to the Khalistani supporters. The event, organized by the Overseas Friends of BJP (OFBJP) UK, was a

  Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida arrived in India on a two-day visit, marking his first overseas trip since taking office in October 2021. The visit is seen as an important step in strengthening the strategic partnership between the two countries.

Mamata Banerjee, Akhilesh Yadav Agree On New Front - Without Congress

Image
  In a surprising turn of events, Mamata Banerjee, the current Chief Minister of West Bengal, and Akhilesh Yadav, the former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, have agreed to form a new political front. The announcement was made after a meeting between the two leaders, who have both been vocal in their criticism of the ruling BJP government in India.

This move is seen as a significant departure from traditional political alliances in India, which have typically centered around the Congress party and its allies. The new front is being touted as a way to provide a strong opposition to the BJP government and to challenge its policies and actions.

China building border infrastructure at a hectic pace, no reduction in LAC troops: Indian Army chief

Image
  The Indian Army chief has recently expressed concern over China's continued efforts to build border infrastructure, despite ongoing talks between the two countries aimed at reducing tensions along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). According to the Indian Army chief, there has been no reduction in the number of Chinese troops stationed along the LAC, and China's infrastructure buildup along the border has been occurring at a "hectic pace". This development comes in the wake of a deadly clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley region of the LAC in June 2020, which resulted in the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers and an unknown number of Chinese troops. Since then, there have been several rounds of talks between the two countries to ease tensions and disengage their forces from the border areas. However, the Indian Army chief's recent statement suggests that progress on this front has been slow. China's efforts to build infrastructure along the

During his speech, he criticized the UK's democratic institutions, alleging that they are being manipulated by the current government to benefit a select few.

He quoted Indira Gandhi, who famously said, "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones at others."

BJP Won't Let Rahul Gandhi Speak In Parliament Without An Apology: Sources

Image
The Indian Parliament has been facing a deadlock as the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has refused to let Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi speak in the House without an apology.
