Its purpose is to reorganize the number of parliamentary seats and constituency boundaries after every Census so that changes in population are properly reflected.Sat, 18 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55365/delimitation-controversyhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55329/nobel-for-warThe contemporary global order resembles a paradoxical circus. The self-appointed custodian of world peace often appears busiest conducting military operations. Consider the recent large-scale U.S. strikes on Venezuela and the reported capture of its sitting president during that operation — an event widely criticised by analysts as lacking justification under international law. Sat, 04 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55329/nobel-for-warhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55257/usa-great-or-marching-towards-isolationIn the Mahabharata, Duryodhana was not destroyed by a lack of resources. He had a full treasury, a formidable army, a sophisticated state apparatus, and the best elders of his era standing behind him. He was destroyed by a deeper deficit: the inability to subordinate ego to statecraft. His downfall wasn’t a sudden accident; it was a slow, willful conversion of power into provocation until war became his only remaining language.Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0600https://www.boloji.com/articles/55257/usa-great-or-marching-towards-isolationhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55246/the-invisible-toll-booth-of-global-tradeWho truly controls global trade — the nations that produce and consume, or the systems that merely record the transactions? When two sovereign countries trade with each other, who watches, who profits, and who decides the rules mid-game? Is monetary infrastructure neutral technology, or is it geopolitical power disguised as plumbing?

Whenever the discussions on Ambedkar, Gandhi and Marx came up, the moment, names of Ambedkar, Gandhi were touched, criticisms would rain down like hailstones, so I used to stay silent.

Both nations share democratic values, multicultural societies, and a common vision of global cooperation. However, in recent years, this relationship has gone through a tense phase due to political disagreements and certain controversial incidents. The most affected by this strain have been ordinary Indian citizens, students, and professionals building their lives in Canada through education and employment.

People talk endlessly about others but rarely stand before a mirror to examine their own corruption. It is astonishing how writers, artists, and those in positions of power silently accept corruption as if it were normal. Even more surprisingly, they innocently ask, “How is this corruption, exploitation, or oppression?” They do not understand it easily.Sat, 25 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55040/where-does-corruption-beginhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55019/american-double-game-awakens-indiaHave you ever wondered why the world’s oldest democracy alternates between embracing and sidelining the world’s largest?

The word education consists of “E” and “duco,” where “E” implies a movement from inward to outward and “duco” indicates developing or progressing. In Sanskrit, there are two words that stand for education: “Shiksha” (derived from "Shah,” meaning to “control or to discipline”) and “Vidya” (derived from "Vidh,” meaning to know).Sat, 03 Aug 2024 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/54412/health-of-educationhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/54391/handle-with-careI always feel that at every stage one has to learn, read, understand, and act to those whom you think you are close to you.

So, Islam means ‘peace, purity, submission, and obedience to the will of Almighty God”. It is a strictly monotheistic religion, and its adherents are known as Muslims.

He would always consider other party’s point of view and come up with solutions acceptable to all parties. Both in his legal and political work he brought different parties together for resolution of their problems. Ability to compromise comes only when one is very tolerant to other’s point of view and do not impose unilaterally his or majority’s point of view. This ability comes to an individual when he is internally secure and is also secure in the knowledge that the compromise solution leads towards general good of all the people.Mon, 02 Oct 2023 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/54018/relevance-of-mahatma-gandhi-todayhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/54011/relevance-of-the-gandhian-ideology-for-building-a-cultured-worldExcellent public leader, recipient of Kaisar-i-Hind, father of the nation and better known to all as Mahatma Gandhi is still alive in his visions and philosophies which relevance even at the present time is beyond discussion.  Gandhian thoughts prove its need of adoption all over the world.

But in reality what is the view of its residents as assets of this democracy? Does this democracy provide equal space to all? We might get its answer if we try to investigate the attitudes of the residents. Attitudes of ordinary people show a deep cynicism about politics ‘really works’ in India. Politicians play a large intermediary and translation role between the state and society. But their acts of gestures and postures tell the different truth. Politicians are viewed as ‘crooks, corrupt and self-seeking, unprincipled and devoid of ideological commitment and they are not concerned about their moral standard’, while there is regularly higher voter turnout.Sat, 24 Apr 2021 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/52486/mischievousness-in-vicious-cyclehttps://www.boloji.com/articles/52477/bio-political-strategy-and-management-of-the-indian-power-politicsIndian Politics has been turned into a family affair since long back.

But the basic interests of these two groups are same to play religious trump card for the purpose of the political gain in election for power and authority. The Religious trump card is being used to patronage one religious group whether Hindu or Muslim. Religious conflicts, communal violence and communal riots are the basic weapon to fulfill the very purpose of the political parties.Sat, 30 Jan 2021 00:00:00 -0600https://www.boloji.com/articles/52320/communal-maladyhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/52293/i-didnt-watch-the-inaugurationThu, 21 Jan 2021 00:00:00 -0600https://www.boloji.com/articles/52293/i-didnt-watch-the-inaugurationhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/52282/religious-irreligious-and-non-religious-or-secularAccording to the Constitution of India, it is a secular Nation which directs that it is a nation of commonness or oneness and it would not tolerate any religious dominance. None of the inhabitants would be treated by his/her religious background/identity. But does it not say inhabitants of this Nation should be secular? Unfortunately, perhaps very beginning of the declaration and enactment of its constitution, inhabitants are divided (in terms of religious faith) into two - religious and secular.

Yes. Super Star Rajinikant finally announced his inability to start a political outfit, manage and bring the state out from the clutches of the corrupt Dravidian parties. The reason? Yes. It is his deteriorating health conditions; he had undergone kidney transplant a few years back, he had fluctuating blood pressure and above all the never ending threat of pandemic Covid which can easily affect senior citizens as he is now seventy years old. He had to travel and meet lakhs and lakhs of public for electioneering which is impossible.
