Mental health is the forgotten child of sustainability, and it’s about time we gave it the attention it deserves. Imagine this: we’ve achieved all the Sustainable Development Goals, created a […]
Rahul Gandhi, the Congress party’s golden boy and self-proclaimed messiah of the people, has yet again graced us with his profound wisdom. In his latest address, Gandhi spoke about ‘Shakti’ in Hinduism. The devout Shiv bhakt probably didn’t know that Shakti in Hinduism is Nari and the power of women. While his intentions may have […]
