Swara Bhasker wants you to judge Jauhar through the comfort of 2026 while forgetting the horror of a medieval siege. You cannot discuss the choices of Rajput women while erasing the circumstances that forced those choices. Context matters. Especially when history is inconvenient. Read on: https://zurl.co/Rp5vT

इस वार्ता में प्रचण्ड प्रवीर बताते हैं कि भरतमुनि का रस सिद्धान्त केवल भारतीय नाट्य परम्परा को नहीं, बल्कि Chaplin, Kurosawa, Hitchcock से लेकर Bicycle Thieves तक विश्व सिनेमा की महान कृतियों को समझने की एक गहरी दृष्टि देता है। 600+ फिल्मों का अध्ययन, भारतीय सौन्दर्यशास्त्र की दृष्टि से।

A country’s laws cannot become negotiable depending on who demands an exception. China sets its rules and expects everyone to follow them. No appeasement, no bending the rules to please particular communities. Others could learn something from this.

A submerged harbour-like structure off Poompuhar is only one piece of a much bigger story involving Indian merchants in Mesopotamia, ancient trade routes, gold, migration and ideas that travelled across civilizations.
How much of the ancient world was connected to India through the sea? For more fascinating insights, watch this talk by maritime historian Nick Collins: https://youtu.be/NjpsPI1tetc

The response to our Bahraich reel was overwhelming, so here is another chapter many of us were never taught. From Suheldev at Bahraich to Maharaja Marthanda Varma at Colachel, there is a larger story hiding in plain sight. We learnt who came to conquer India. We heard far less about the Indians who stopped them.
In this reel, Dr. Vikram Sampath recounts how the Dutch were comprehensively defeated at Colachel in 1741, dealing a devastating blow to their ambitions in Kerala. More such lesser known chapters coming your way. #SangamTalks #HistoryAwareness

When asked why he wanted to join the Army, Captain Vikram Batra said he wanted to win the Param Vir Chakra. He went on to capture Point 4875, fought till his last breath and gave Bharat a line that still echoes decades later, “Yeh Dil Maange More.”
Some men chase glory. Some become the reason a nation remembers what courage looks like. Remembering Captain Vikram Batra on his birth anniversary. #VikramBatra #KargilHero

A terrorist gets arrested and expensive legal teams appear. Who brings them, and more importantly, who pays them? Harinder Singh Sikka names Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind and says the answer isn’t hidden in some secret file. “उनका charter पढ़िए।”

Long before social media turned debate into performance, Nyaya Shastra had already classified it. Vada seeks truth. Jalpa seeks victory. Vitanda attacks without offering a position.

वीर वही नहीं जो युद्ध जीत ले।
जो सत्य पर अडिग रहे, धर्म निभाए, त्याग करे और कठिन परिस्थिति में भी अपने कर्तव्य से पीछे न हटे, वह भी वीर है।
प्रचण्ड प्रवीर समझाते हैं कि नाट्यशास्त्र में वीर रस के तीन रूप हैं। दानवीर, धर्मवीर और युद्धवीर।

Heartbreaking! Chinmoy Krishna Das breaks down before Shri Krishna as he is taken back to jail after a brief parole to see his deceased mother. A son denied even the space to grieve in peace. One last darshan. One shattered goodbye. Then back behind bars. And all this while he continues to suffer for raising his voice for Hindus in Bangladesh.

May Shri Krishna give him the strength to endure what no grieving son should have to.

A nation connected to its Dharma cannot be broken.
Swami Vivekananda’s words hit harder today than ever.
