Aayushi's Unbiased Opinion

  It has been a while since I wrote something or simply sat down to blog. Life lately has been moving too fast — so much happening all at once that writing somehow took a backseat. But over the past few months, one question has repeatedly appeared in my DMs from students and young consultants stepping into this field: “How did you manage to come this far?” From the outside, the journey may look exciting, even glamorous. Election campaigns, war rooms, political meetings, travelling across states — it all sounds fascinating. But the reality behind Political PR and consultancy is far more layered, exhausting, and emotionally demanding than what appears on social media. And perhaps that is exactly why this story needs to be told. When UPSC Stops Being the Only Dream I still remember the year 2024. The JPSC examination process had put on hold, and uncertainty had quietly started consuming me. One day, my sister looked at me and said: “Mons, it’s been a while now. You need to find other ...

  Hindi literature, that perennial trailblazer, has long outpaced its temporal shackles, birthing works that probe the human soul with unflinching audacity. Dharamvir Bharti's Gunahon ka Devta (1949) , composed in the post-Independence ferment of the 1940s, stands as a luminous beacon in this tradition. Emerging from an era of Partition's scars and nascent nationalism , the novel daringly dismantles traditional idealism, injecting modernism's raw vitality into Hindi prose. Through the ill-fated love of Sudha and Chandar, Bharti crafts not merely a romance but a profound elegy to sacrifice, emotional fragility, and the inexorable grind of societal norms. At the narrative's throbbing heart lie Sudha and Chandar, archetypes of idealism clashing against reality's jagged edges. Sudha, the luminous daughter of a revered professor, embodies purity's quiet rebellion—her emotional vulnerability unfurls like a lotus in twilight, yearning for a love that transcends cast...

In a nation striving for equity in higher education, the UGC Regulation Act, 2026 promised protection against discrimination based on caste (SC, ST, OBC) and physical disability. By elevating the 2012 UGC Advisory into a binding mandate, the government aimed to foster inclusivity. Yet, this well-intentioned move has ignited fury, especially among general category students, exposing deep policy fractures. A regulation meant to unite has instead sown division.   Policy Loopholes: From Protection to Provocation Critics argue the Act's framework is riddled with oversights that undermine its noble goals. Chief among them: - Exclusion of General Category Students : The regulation glaringly omits safeguards for non-reserved categories, breeding resentment and accusations of reverse bias. - Vulnerability to Misuse : Absent mechanisms to curb false complaints—unlike robust provisions in dowry or harassment laws—this invites exploitation. - Questionable Oversight : Delegating enforcement to ...

  As the State of Bihar celebrates Chhath Puja—a festival deeply rooted in cultural and spiritual identity—it simultaneously finds itself immersed in the fervor of the 2025 assembly elections. With 243 constituencies, each carrying historical, spiritual, or patriotic significance, Bihar remains a complex electoral battleground. Among these, Begusarai district , with its four constituencies and industrial prominence, stands out as a region to watch. 📍 Begusarai: A Strategic Electoral Hub Begusarai is known for its urban settlements and industrial backbone, notably the Barauni Refinery , which contributes significantly to the region’s economy. Politically, it has been a paradox: despite a diverse caste composition, both the Member of Parliament and the sitting MLA hail from the NDA alliance . As a consultant with Indian Youth Congress (IYC) Bihar , I’ve joined the campaign efforts in Begusarai, where the stakes are high and the margins are thin. Begusarai Caste Composition (Appr...
