Religious Extremism : A curse

Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a group of people who believed that they were the chosen ones. They believed that their religion was the only true religion and that everyone else was wrong. At first, they kept to themselves, praying and studying their holy texts. But over time, they became more and more extreme in their beliefs. They began to see the world as black and white, good and evil, us and them. They started to preach their message of intolerance and hate to anyone who would listen. They told their followers that anyone who did not believe as they did was a threat to their way of life. The followers of this extremist group became more and more fanatical. They stopped talking to people who did not share their beliefs. They shunned family members and friends who did not agree with them. They began to see violence as a legitimate means of promoting their cause. They targeted people who were different from them, people of other religions, races, and cultures. They saw these people as enemies of their faith and believed that they needed to be eliminated. As their extremism grew, so did their power. They gained more and more followers, and their influence spread throughout the land. They began to take control of the government and the media, using their power to promote their message of hate. But their success was short-lived. Their extremism had made them blind to the world around them. They could not see the harm they were causing or the damage they were doing to their own people. Eventually, their violent ways caught up with them. The people they had persecuted rose up against them. They fought back with all their might, and the extremists were defeated. The lesson of this story is clear: extremism is dangerous. It blinds us to the world around us, and it can lead to violence and destruction. We must be careful not to let our beliefs become so extreme that they harm others. We must learn to respect and tolerate people who are different from us, and we must work to build bridges between our communities, not walls. *This is AI written Article

It’s Time for Semi-Rural Urbanization

  Don’t Welcome the Rat Race: It’s Time for Semi-Rural Urbanization   Having traveled across Maharashtra, I’ve seen it all—the bustling streets of Mumbai, the semi-urban chaos of mid-sized towns, and the forgotten corners of rural villages. There’s one glaring pattern: we are building an unsustainable future. Our cities are suffocating, and our villages are simmering with problems that could explode any moment.   Ravindra Ambekar with Dr Rajendra Singh inspecting water crisis  Just last week, Mumbai made headlines again for its pollution crisis. The air quality index (AQI) touched hazardous levels in several areas, making it almost impossible to breathe. Roads choked with vehicles, unchecked construction, and industrial pollution make this city—once known for its charm—one of the least livable urban centers in India. Yet, people continue flocking here, escaping rural struggles, only to sign up for life in a toxic gas chamber.   The Hidden Crises of Rural M...

Fragile Economy and Collapsed Morals: The State of Indian Media

Launching a web or digital news media platform in today's landscape mirrors the past fervor for starting evening newspapers. For many, it stems from sheer passion, occasionally supported by local political figures or funded personally. Mainstream media often excludes certain voices, either due to owner directives or political alignments, and these marginalized voices become the foundation of alternative media. Take MaxMaharashtra, for instance. The sentiment surrounding it is, “Jisaka koi nahi Usaka MaxMaharashtra." This encapsulates the role of alternative media: to serve those neglected by mainstream platforms. Running such media requires money, but more critically, it requires an unwavering passion. When individuals driven by a burning desire for change come together, the experiment of alternative media can thrive. Without this passion, financial woes can erode their influence over time. The economics of digital media revolve around online advertisements, aggregator platfor...
