Mar 15, 2025 5:00 PM SSTIdeasidentitybyIsmat AraAs an Indian Muslim, I have learned to say many words in whispers. The thought recently struck me when my husband and I were at a McDonald’s in Thailand that casually offered beef burgers to customers. The word “beef” felt oddly jarring to me. Unlike in India, beef is just another ingredient: unremarkable, uncontroversial, undeserving of a national debate. It had been a long time since I’d even heard the word beef spoken freely.

Ismat Ara·Follow2 min read·--19 December, 2024(3 PM, Hotel Room, Agra)The Taj Mahal is less than five kilometers away. I know this because Google Maps tells me so. It also tells me that an auto ride will take 13 minutes and cost 79 rupees. It tells me the entry fee, the visiting hours, and that sunset today is at 5:28 PM, which is apparently the best time to be there. But here I am, in my hotel room, scrolling through food delivery apps. I can see the Taj in my mind.

The Madigas of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are elated over a historic victory. The community’s three-decade struggle for reservation, led by the Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS), came to fruition on August 1 when the Supreme Court ruled in favour of subcategorisation of the Scheduled Castes (SCs). The judgment, which establishes that SCs are not a homogeneous unit, will pave the way for a carve-out within the current 15 per cent quota for SCs in the Telugu-speaking States.

"NO DOWRY means NO GROOM": KCC was supposed to grow wheat and sugarcane, not fund desperate dowry demands. But in rural India, money goes where the emergency is. Time for @FinMinIndia & @AgriGoI to fix the cracks. Credit meant for crops must not become crisis funds. @narendramodi
