I would like to share with the readers of Radiance a few paragraphs of an article titled, “Is a plan underway to foment communal conflicts?” by a veteran independent journalist Mr. Subhash Gatade published in the News Trail Daily, Bengaluru, dated May 11, 2025. I reproduce hereunder paragraphs of the said article as it is.
“I am told Hindutva activists have a plan of creating trouble. They have got a number of them dressed as Muslims and looking like Muslims who are to create trouble with the Hindu by attacking them. The result of this kind of trouble amongst the Hindus and Muslims will be to create a conflagration”. (Similarly read the Extracts of a letter, written by Dr. Rajendra Prasad on March 14, 1948, cited in Nehru-Patel; Agreement within Differences, Select Documents and Correspondence, edited by Neerja Singh, Page 43)
How Hindutva activists plan to foment communal trouble?
It was the year 1948 and Dr. Rajendra Prasad, who later became the first President of India, wrote a letter to the first Home Minister of independent India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, about the plan of Hindutva activists to foment trouble in the newly independent country. As per reports that he had received from different sources, Prasad wrote how these Hindutva supremacists get dressed up as Muslims and ‘looking like Muslims’ create trouble with Hindus by attacking them.”
I leave it to the learned readers of Radiance to draw the conclusions from above and to form their own opinion.

Let SC Take Stringent Action against Misuse of Power
The speed and alacrity shown by the Haryana police to arrest the professor of Ashoka University Ali Khan Mahmudabad portends to the growing tendency especially in the BJP-ruled states to crush the voices if there is even a semblance of dissent. That the authorities did not bother to properly understand the messages posted by him on social media which were actually laced with patriotic fervour is annoying.
It is high time the Supreme Court of India takes stringent action against the officials who are resorting to misuse of power.

Annual Struggle
Many students in villages still walk several kilometres just to reach their examination centres. This yearly struggle is rarely talked about but deeply affects their motivation and performance. While cities enjoy well-connected centres and transportation, village students face fatigue, lack of restrooms, and time loss, all before they enter the exam hall. For a country that dreams of educational equality, this gap is unacceptable.
The Government must seriously consider setting up more local exam centres or providing free transport options. Talent doesn’t only live in cities; it deserves equal support everywhere.
