||| PURBAJA SMARANE |||

MoKatha today takes up a noble practice humankind follows that is remembering ancestors. Different people observe it in different ways. It is an integral part of its culture for the practice links past generation to future and proves time flows through generations and so the humankind gets the solace of continuity that each hopes for the world and for the days to come. The practice that culminates at Ashi Ghat in Varanashi is a moment that destiny scripts and the script keeps flowing on ever flowing stream of pious Ganga that keeps assuring the beauty of life that past bestows upon to the present and the future on grateful remembrance of ancestors that has made inheritance today blissful.
Alas at times this practice gets entangles in itself disguise making the flow polluted for everybody's alarm. Now the time has come to make Ganga clean for it required than the rituals need modification without a loss of inheritance ....
Today's column (30th Nov. 2016) on Nirvaya takes up the issue for your judgement and observations !

Defining Feminism ....

Could be true with the liberty ladies had in Vaidic age, still ladies in our land have assumed a secluded living with social disadvantages with utter silent disgust. The liberation as feminism today reveals is radical, and so brings in conflict in Indian society considering every society has a basic norm that is honoured though a dynamic society adopts self-correction that is gradual. Radical feminism that primarily visible with affluent group in India damps the movement instead of energising it. It's time to define feminism in our context and invigorate the movement in positive direction. Today MoKatha column on "Naribada ra Paribhasha Khoja" on Nirvaya news paper takes up the issue ...
