Dystopian anxiety is dominating discussions about the future, leaving younger generations paralysed by despair. But research scientist and philosopher Samuel McKee argues we are being too pessimistic, and placing too much blame on technology. The real barrier to a brighter future is not a failure of science, but of the humanities. Just as the Apollo missions once united society and sparked a wave of innovation, today's breakthroughs must be translated into compelling cultural narratives. Filmmakers, writers and educators must champion visions of a solvable future, and we should all become futurists. Tap here to read more. iai.tv/articles/our-c…

Hindutva’s boycott calls seek the economic erasure of India’s Muslims

The boycott of Muslim livelihoods in contemporary India closely mirrors the boycott of Jewish businesses in Nazi Germany. This was one of the first markers of the genocide that was to follow, writes Harsh Mander. Read more: scroll.in/article/109518…

Book stalls run by Left parties have been vandalised, burnt and removed across the state during the festival. Left leaders blame BJP workers for the attacks, and accuse a section of the police of using a narrow Calcutta HC order to clear stalls statewide. “A section of the police administration is misinterpreting the high court ruling to remove CPI(M) book stalls,” the CPI(M) said.

Kolkata won my heart with its vibrant culture and incredible food. But my visit left me thinking: Why can’t Eastern India unite culturally and economically like the South?

Odisha, West Bengal and Assam together have a population of over 18 crore. Imagine the possibilities if we respected each other’s languages, exchanged cultures, co-produced films, dubbed movies and built stronger business corridors connecting Bhubaneswar, Kolkata and Guwahati. But Eastern unity needs one fundamental ingredient mutual respect for each other’s languages. Why should an Odia and a Bengali need Hindi to communicate?

Indian National Congress and the Co-constitution of Political Hinduism: A Historical Reassessment

K Khan, T Altaf - The Regional Tribune, 2026
Identity politics is not the exclusive preserve of conservative religious movements; secular institutions deploy it equally to secure their own rule. This article examines the historical relationship between the Indian National Congress and proponents of Saffron Political Hinduism, arguing that Congress’s alliances, rhetoric, and policy choices during the colonial and post-colonial periods contributed significantly to the rise of Hindu nationalism in India. Its short-term political gains from associations with Hindu revivalist organisations came at a long-term cost to Indian pluralism, contributing to communal violence, unstable secularism, and the mainstreaming of Hindutva as a governing ideology.

The article explores the relationship between Congress and Sangh/Hindutva proponents, highlighting the party’s use of Hindu ideological symbolism and tolerance of violence involving Hindu hardline groups. It examines the ideological connections between swarajya and purna swarajya, arguing that both contributed, in different ways, to the development of Hindu Rashtra ideology. It analyses Congress’s use of language politics, particularly Hindi, to build political support through communal appeasement. The discussion considers the “Hindu Raj” that Congress sought to sustain through divide-and-rule policies, which also enabled radical Hindu ideologies to flourish within mainstream political Hinduism. Two case studies examine Congress’s accountability for communal violence in modern India, focusing on Gandhi’s assassination and the violence at Ayodhya.

Finally, the article considers the enduring consequences of this political history, arguing that divide-and-rule strategies contributed to the construction of a Hindu state. It challenges conventional interpretations of the Two-Nation Theory by tracing Hindu nationalist origins to an ideological framework distinguishing between “Hindus and Others,” highlighting tensions between secular political claims and religious nationalism in India.
