Aayushi's Unbiased Opinion

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...

  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, 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"  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,...
