Love in the times of Narendra Modi - Photoblog

By
Artists are born to do wonders and the CAFE is created to draw all such poets, journalist, musicians, writers scholars and photographers to give a push to resistance in most effective and creative way. This was the first few which crossed my ear from some corner of shiny creamy coloured hall.

Don't get confused I am just sharing my worthy Sunday evening experience from inaugural session of Centre for Art and Free Expression (CAfE). The metal gate of the creative institution opens in a Muslim populated area, taking inspiration from the Harlem Renaissance.


Bilal Zaidi, host of the event describe the initiative as, Inspired by the Harlem Renaissance that took place in the city of New York in the 1930s, the Centre of Art and Free Expression aims to be a cultural centre that... draws Muslims and other marginalised writers, artists, musicians, photographers, poets, and scholars. It's a safe space where they could freely express their talents.


 The place was packed with highly diverse audience. People joining event were of all ages and from different professions apart from artists. Event began with the multilingual poet Amy Singh and carried by Sabika Abbas Naqvi and Janab Arif Naqvi. The mic was open so several seasonal poet took the platform and gave left impressive impression over audience.







Photographs are yet best way to explore unspoken. let's rejoice some candid together.

Goodbye Letter to his (Che Guevara) Children

By
If you read this letter one day, it will mean that I am no longer alive. You will hardly remember me, and the smallest among you will have entirely forgotten me. Your father was a man who acted as he thought best and who has been absolutely faithful to his convictions.  Grow up into good revolutionaries. Study hard to master technique, which gives you mastery over nature. Remember that it is the Revolution which is important and that each of us, taken in isolation, is worth nothing.  Above all be sensitive, in the deepest areas of yourselves, to any injustice committed against whoever it may be anywhere in the world. Yours always, my children. I hope to see you again. A big strong kiss from Daddy. Click here for the source

UP Elections 2017: A drift towards soft Hindutva

By
As the results started showing clear mandate to BJP in Uttar Pradesh poll, different versions of narratives against the previous predictions started flowing on social media sites. The defeat of BJP was almost assumed before the exit poll declaration but unlike Bihar, most of the exit polls turned true and remained close to the exact result. In fact, for the first time, BJP crossed the massive 300 figure and fourth time since independence any party in UP has managed to surpass this magical number. It’s really interesting to convey, for all the three time, ‘historical mandate’ to the particular party was emotionally driven. India National Congress become victorious for two and Janta Party for once. The history of UP electoral politics has been unstable for most of the time and there are very few chief ministers who successfully completed their tenure of five years. Akhilesh and Mayawati are one of them. Coming to the statistics of UP verdict, Samajwadi-Congress alliance sum-up ...

Communal Riots and their Cure by Bhagat Singh

By
भारत वर्ष की दशा इस समय बड़ी दयनीय है। एक धर्म के अनुयायी दूसरे धर्म के अनुयायियों के जानी दुश्मन हैं। अब तो एक धर्म का होना ही दूसरे धर्म का कट्टर शत्रु होना है। यदि इस बात का अभी यकीन न हो तो लाहौर के ताजा दंगे ही देख लें। किस प्रकार मुसलमानों ने निर्दोष सिखों, हिन्दुओं को मारा है और किस प्रकार सिखों ने भी वश चलते कोई कसर नहीं छोड़ी है। यह मार-काट इसलिए नहीं की गयी कि फलाँ आदमी दोषी है, वरन इसलिए कि फलाँ आदमी हिन्दू है या सिख है या मुसलमान है। बस किसी व्यक्ति का सिख या हिन्दू होना मुसलमानों द्वारा मारे जाने के लिए काफी था और इसी तरह किसी व्यक्ति का मुसलमान होना ही उसकी जान लेने के लिए पर्याप्त तर्क था। जब स्थिति ऐसी हो तो हिन्दुस्तान का ईश्वर ही मालिक है। ऐसी स्थिति में हिन्दुस्तान का भविष्य बहुत अन्धकारमय नजर आता है। इन ‘धर्मों’ ने हिन्दुस्तान का बेड़ा गर्क कर दिया है। और अभी पता नहीं कि यह धार्मिक दंगे भारतवर्ष का पीछा कब छोड़ेंगे। इन दंगों ने संसार की नजरों में भारत को बदनाम कर दिया है। और हमने देखा है कि इस अन्धविश्वास के बहाव में सभी बह जाते हैं। कोई बिरला ही हिन्दू, मुसलम...
