Article 28 enforces a dangerous silence in state-funded classrooms, creating a profound cultural vacuum that harms both Hindus and Muslims alike. By banning any objective discussion on faith/philosophy, the state effectively pushes spiritual education into dark, underground corners.

• For Hindu youths, this total absence of structured teaching detaches them from their original roots, leaving them entirely ignorant of profound philosophical heritages like the Vedas or Advaita Vedanta. They behave like atheists, easily made to feel ashamed of a heritage they do not understand.
• For Muslim youths, this restriction ensures that their primary exposure to faith occurs completely outside public scrutiny, stripped of any neutral or historical context. Meanwhile,

Article 30 exacerbates this lopsided dynamic by allowing minority institutions to provide religious instruction in private.

For Muslim/Christian children, this unchecked autonomy risks isolating them within insular environments, where radical elements can weaponise theology behind closed doors without state oversight. Lacking exposure to a broader, comparative framework, these kids are left vulnerable to early-stage indoctrination. This constitutional asymmetry creates a critical hazard: it strips the majority of a core binding faith necessary to withstand external pressures, while simultaneously leaving minority youth exposed to unmonitored doctrinal extremes. Bringing comparative religion into the classroom is the only viable solution.

To the younger generation who may not remember the decades before 2014, it is important to understand that much of the loud, ostentatiously righteous criticism directed at Prime Minister Modi during our current economic woes (primarily due to US aggression against Iran) is deeply agenda-driven. The rupee has seen a slight fall, but such fluctuations are expected at this time and this is the price we pay for our image of a "rising power", so we naturally do not enjoy the protection or backing of countries like USA or China.

Economic pressure during geopolitical crises is expected.

But get this, what truly worries investors is India’s historical lack of sufficiently large Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) facilities for a nation of its enormous scale.

That failure did not begin recently. It is an absolute disgrace that India did not establish robust strategic oil reserves decades ago. The oil shocks of the 1970s should have served as a permanent warning to every Indian government. Yet the Congress leadership remained asleep to the danger, refusing to prioritise long-term national security and economic resilience. For generations, they governed with short-term political calculations rather than strategic foresight.

When corruption scandals exploded before the 2014 election, the sudden talk of underground oil reservoirs was political damage control, not vision. The idea itself originated during the Vajpayee era, but meaningful construction only accelerated after 2014, exposing decades of delay, negligence, and empty promises.

• In the 2026 World Press Freedom Index released by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), India ranks 157th out of 180 countries, placing it in the "very serious" category. India ranks below Pakistan and Bangladesh!
• In the 2025 World Happiness Report, India ranked 118th out of 147 countries, improving from 126th in previous years but still placing below nations in crisis, including Palestine (108th) and Ukraine (111th).

There are countless such places.
