  Navigating the Political Landscape: My Journey Through Bihar and Beyond As a political consultant, the ground is where the real work happens. No matter the circumstances, staying immersed in the field is a necessity, not just a professional obligation but a deep-seated passion. The constant exposure to different states, varying dynamics, and the intricate parameters that shape election campaigns keeps me engaged, challenged, and, most importantly, inspired. Over the years, I have traveled across multiple states, witnessing firsthand the distinct urban, suburban, and rural assemblies that define India's democratic framework. Every constituency tells a unique story, reflecting the aspirations, struggles, and transformation of its people. However, Bihar holds a special place in my heart. It is my home state, and the emotional connection runs deep. My father, born and raised in Bihar, always longed to return. His perspective shaped my understanding of the region, but my campaign jour...

Plato: A Feminist Ideologue or an Antagonist to Feminism?

  Plato: A Feminist Ideologue or an Antagonist to Feminism? Plato, one of the most influential philosophers in Western thought, has been the subject of extensive analysis and debate. His works, particularly "The Republic," have been scrutinized for their views on various social and political issues, including gender equality. The question of whether Plato can be considered a feminist or an antagonist to feminism is complex and multifaceted. This blog aims to explore Plato's ideology concerning gender equality, examining his views on women's roles in society and their implications for feminist thought. Plato's Views on Gender Equality In "The Republic," Plato presents a radical vision of an ideal state where women and men are given equal opportunities to participate in all aspects of society, including governance and military service. He argues that women possess the same natural abilities as men and should, therefore, be afforded the same education and o...

"Phoenix of the Heart: Rising from the Ashes"

"Phoenix of the Heart: Rising from the Ashes"  A little girl, radiant and fair,  Her beauty was unnoticed, she bore despair.  Humiliated, ignored, and cruelly spurned,  In a world where her value was never earned. Average in looks,  but her mind held might,  A determination to study,  to grasp what's right.  Time flew by, the golden shadow waned,  Emerging from humiliation,  she sought love unfeigned. A soul disturbed, craving warmth's embrace,  Unaware of the fire she was about to face.  Those who professed love,  deceit in their guise, Tore her to pieces, with their sweet lies. Betrayed and broken,  in darkness, she lay,  Her heart was in fragments,  night swallowed day.  Yet one dawn,  she gathered the shards of her spirit,  Resolved to rebuild, bit by bit. Over and over, she faced the pain,  Her courage shattered, only to rise again.  Fear lost its grip,  no longer a chain,...

Legacy Of Leadership: Remembering The Stalwart of Bihar

Legacy Of Leadership: Remembering The Stalwart of Bihar  Growing up with my grandfather, I always had apprehensions about my roots in Bihar, a state then known for its corruption and autocracy. I disliked being called a Bihari, and in my family, it was extremely difficult for girls to have equal rights as boys. However, my mother stood up for us, ensuring we received equal educational opportunities. This shaped my negative perception of Bihar. Last month, I joined as a political consultant and met my reporting manager, who belongs to one of Bihar's greatest political families. He was offended by my negative image of Bihar and introduced me to a new perspective—one of intellect, heritage, and inclusivity. He emphasized that no state is perfect, and Bihar, like any other, holds space for everyone regardless of race, language, or region. Through his lens, I learned about the legendary politician and freedom fighter, the late Shri Muneshwar Prasad Singh, a great leader of the Mahnar co...

Women in Political consulting: A Transformative Journey over the last 15 years

-
Image
Over the past 15 years, the field of political consulting has experienced a profound transformation, marked by the increasing presence and influence of women. Traditionally dominated by men, political consulting posed significant barriers to entry for women, who often struggled against entrenched stereotypes and limited opportunities for advancement. However, today, women are not only participating in this competitive field, but they are also leading, innovating, and reshaping political strategies with their unique skills and perspectives. A critical factor in this shift has been the growing acknowledgment of the distinctive value that women bring to political consulting. Women have proven adept at strategic thinking, communication, and relationship-building—skills that are essential for the success of modern political campaigns.  According to scholar Christina Wolbrecht , ''women’s ability to create inclusive messaging and foster grassroots engagement has enriched campaign str...

A Warrior's Plea

-
Image
 I'm ready, Dad, for duty's call,  No fear, no doubt, I stand so tall.  You've taught me well, to serve and fight, To be courageous, bold, and bright.  So be proud of me, though tears may fall, For I serve my country, answering the call. Thirty-six hours, I stood my ground, But exhaustion's weight began to pound. In the seminar, my eyes did close, A darkness crept, a chilling dose.  I cried for you, my guiding star, To shield me from the terrors near. I fought with all my might, I swear, But darkness conquered, the despairing air. They tore my skin, my sight they took,  The precious gift you gave, forsook. You'll find me broken, Dad, I know,  But let no sorrow in your heart grow. I battled till the end, with all my might,  Now seek justice, Dad, with all your might. Not for lessons, not for gain,  But justice pure, to ease my pain.  No lessons for girls or boys, I plead, Just justice, Dad, a righteous deed.
