Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated.

Spill the Tea: The regret of not loving someone who loved you

Aarohi admits the regret no one talks about: not having feelings for the one person who loved her without conditions. Still close, still cared for, yet emotionally untouched, she now lives with regret and the fear that no one will ever show up like that again. Part of the Spill the Tea series, this story explores desire, guilt, and the cost of delayed regret. --- Aarohi arrived with her bag slung over one shoulder, rain still caught in the ends of her hair. She shook it out at the door, apologising for nothing in particular, and stepped inside like she already belonged to the space. “I didn’t want to catch you off guard,” she said when I opened the door. She stepped in and looked around the kitchen like she was orienting herself, even though she had been here before. “I brought nothing,” she said. “I’m sorry.” “That’s fine,” I said. “I already cooked.” “It smells nice,” she said. “What did you make?” Her eyes went to the counter. Pav bhaji. Masala idli. Everything covered, stil...
