— Dr. Satyawan Saurabh Whether you light a lamp or choose not to is a personal decision. Following a religious tradition, maintaining distance from it, or observing it in your own way is a matter of individual freedom in a democratic society. However, when personal preference or political disagreement reaches the point of publicly ridiculing a religious symbol or cultural tradition, the issue is no longer merely about a lamp. The question then becomes how much respect we show for the faith and cultural sentiments of others while expressing disagreement. The lamp has held a deeply significant place in Indian culture. The very essence of Diwali is associated with light, hope, and the triumph of light over darkness. The tradition of lighting lamps in homes, temples, and on various auspicious ...

A Metaphor for Understanding Power, Strategy and Society — Dr. Vinayak Ashok Luniya On a chessboard, there are 64 squares and a total of 32 pieces divided between two sides. At first glance, chess appears to be a game of kings, queens, rooks, bishops, knights and pawns moving across black and white squares. However, when viewed through the lens of politics, the same chessboard becomes an interesting metaphor for power, strategy, conflict, cooperation and the balance of power. The distinctive feature of chess is that no move exists in isolation. Every move contains the possibility of the next one. The position of one piece can change the strength or weakness of another, and sometimes even the smallest pawn can alter the direction of the entire game.

— Dr. Priyanka Saurabh (SDNA) Rapid urbanization in India is creating opportunities for economic growth, employment, and an improved standard of living. However, the scientific management of the solid waste generated alongside this growth remains a major challenge. Unplanned urban expansion, population growth, changing lifestyles, consumerism, and the increasing use of single-use products have increased both the quantity and diversity of waste in cities. In many cities, waste collection, transportation, and disposal still primarily follow the ‘collect-transport-dump’ model. As a result, open dumping, waste burning, water source contamination, foul odors, air pollution, and growing pressure on landfills have become widespread concerns. Therefore, India’s challenge is not merely to remove w...
