    The Cultural Trauma of Dhurandhar: Why ‘Arfa Khanum’ Can’t Reconcile with the New Reality

    The hysterical backlash against Dhurandhar has nothing to do with “politics” or even “Pakistan-bashing.” It’s a full-blown cultural trauma for a particular generation of commentators—the ones personified by the classic ‘Arfa Khanum’ archetype. She’s not critiquing a movie. She’s mourning. Mourning the sudden, violent death of the comforting moral universe that Bollywood spent decades constructing,…

    BLA is Getting Bolder and Fighting Harder for Baloch Independence Than Ever Before!

    Pakistan’s a rotting mess, and the world’s sniffing the decay. They paraded the Champions Trophy in February 2025—India bolted, calling it a “security dumpster,” and got a sickening “told you so” when a Karachi mosque blew apart mid-tournament, blood staining prayers. Then, March 11 hit: the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) hijacked the Jaffar Express, trapping…

    The White House Showdown: Trump, Zelensky, and the New Cold War

    The argument between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House wasn’t just a diplomatic clash—it was a brutal unveiling of America’s ugliest foreign policy tactics.

    Avrodh- The siege within Season 2; Fact or Fiction?

    Avrodh season 2 The siege within; is just another, Hindu hyper-nationalist, Jingoistic, Pakistan Bashing, fictional propaganda series acting as a government PSA while lacking any sort of human touch. Is exactly what I was reading in every other review published online; I am quite certain, you would have also read the same. I finally got…

    Kichcha Sudeep contradicts his own statement on Hindi not being the National Language!

    Kichcha Sudeep racked up an age old controversy through one of his interviews. He said “Hindi is no more a National Language; Movies like KGF are getting Pan India response, so, which should be a National Language?” I still fail to dig out rational behind his statement. If we go by his logic, he might…
