The Taj Story & Resurgence of a Myth, the ideological engineering of a Brahmanical narrative of pseudo-history
Tejo Mahalay & Mina Bazar: P. N. Oak’s Pseudohistory demeaning both Muslims & Rajputs, is both Communal and Casteist; P. N.

The Politics of Processions: How the Sanatan Ekta Padyatra amplified hate speech in plain sight
CJP Team -
As the Sanatan Ekta Padyatra traversed 422 village panchayats across three states, it carried not merely religious symbolism but explicit political messaging. Calls for a Hindu Rashtra, vilification of Muslim communities, and assertions of majoritarian dominance raise serious questions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita’s provisions on promoting enmity, inciting violence, and disturbing public tranquillity. Yet, as the aftermath shows, ranging from protests in Datia to a clash in Vrindavan, the legal system’s response has been fragmented and cautious. This report interrogates that legal vacuum, situating the padyatra within established precedents of hate-speech jurisprudence and the enduring gap between statutory safeguards and ground-level enforcement.

Delimitation: A false solution driven by centralised power
Before asking what dangers delimitation poses, we must first examine a more fundamental issue: what are the existing problems, and will delimitation actually solve them? The real crisis in Indian governance today is not a shortage of representatives; it is the over-centralisation of power.

Congress and Karnataka’s Muslims: Loyalty without Representation
In an era where majoritarian politics is openly dismissive of Muslim concerns, the Congress still benefits from being seen as the lesser evil. But “lesser evil” is not a sustainable political identity. For a party that speaks the language of diversity and inclusion, Karnataka’s record on Muslim representation - particularly in Parliament - stands as an uncomfortable indictment.
