In a country where historical wounds run deep and memories of invasion and destruction are still alive in public consciousness, some radical groups continue to glorify Islamic invaders who, by all accounts, came to India not as saints, but as marauding aggressors. The glorification of such figures—tyrants like Aurangzeb and Tipu Sultan—is not just academic revisionism; it’s an affront to the millions of Hindus who trace their ancestry to the victims of these very invasions.

Love jihad cases keep popping up all over India, even though the government has brought in tough laws to stop them. Sadly, people still get tricked by those who hide their true selves when it comes to choosing a life partner. Despite all the efforts to raise awareness and enforce strict rules, these incidents just don’t seem to go away. The latest heart-wrenching story comes from Kushinagar, a district in Uttar Pradesh, where a Muslim man cleverly changed his name to pull a Hindu girl into his trap. He spun a web of love around her, got her to marry him, and then turned her life into a nightmare by exploiting her in the worst ways imaginable.

On Sunday, the Delhi Police shared some big news that left everyone talking—they had taken down a dangerous sex trafficking racket right in the heart of Paharganj. This wasn’t a small operation either; it happened after a carefully planned raid on Thursday that ended up saving 23 people, including three young girls who weren’t even adults yet. Alongside the rescues, they nabbed seven men who were allegedly running this dark and illegal business.

In the rugged hills of Afghanistan and the shadowed corners of Pakistan, a practice as old as it is heartbreaking continues to scar the lives of countless young boys. It’s called bacha bazi—translated simply as “boy play”—and it’s a custom that turns innocence into a commodity for the powerful. Imagine a boy, barely a teenager, dressed in bright women’s clothes, his face painted with makeup, dancing for a room full of men who cheer and leer. What follows is often worse: exploitation, abuse, and a lifetime of pain.

On March 17th, a terrible incident shook the city of Nagpur in Maharashtra, showing the true colors of a Muslim mob that launched a vicious, preplanned attack. In the Bhhaladarpura area, "a Muslim mob molested a woman police officer in the Bhhaladarpura area of Nagpur, Maharashtra, and attempted to disrobe her during the violence by the mob over Hindus demanding the removal of Aurangzeb’s tomb." This wasn’t just a random outburst—it was a calculated move by troublemakers who couldn’t stand Hindus raising their voices for justice. The brave Hindus were simply asking for the removal of Aurangzeb’s tomb, a symbol of oppression from history, when this chaos erupted. The authorities didn’t sit idle; "an FIR has been filed against the rioters at Ganeshpeth police station," making it clear that such lawlessness won’t be tolerated.

In the busy city of Agra, located in Uttar Pradesh, a disturbing event unfolded that has left the local community shaken. On Saturday, March 8th, the Agra police arrested four young men for troubling a group of school girls who were simply standing outside their school in the Rakabganj area. The incident might have gone unnoticed if it weren’t for the CCTV cameras that caught it all on tape.

The troubling news of rape and forced religious conversion seems to be a growing shadow over Rajasthan lately. Just when people were trying to make sense of the incidents reported in Beawar, Bhilwara’s Kotwali area, and Bijaynagar, yet another heartbreaking case has come to light—this time from Pratap Nagar. In this latest incident, a group of Muslim individuals is accused of gangraping a Hindu minor, leaving the community shocked and angry once again. The details paint a grim picture of a young girl trapped in a nightmare, with no easy way out.

India's cricket team delivered a stunning performance on March 10, defeating New Zealand in the final and securing the prestigious Champions Trophy title. Across the country, jubilant fans took to the streets, celebrating a moment of national pride. However, while millions of Indians rejoiced, the victory appeared to have enraged certain groups. The pattern was once again evident—whenever India triumphs, certain elements within society refuse to acknowledge the glory and instead resort to hostility.

In the quiet village of Sodaladoodha, nestled in Gangadtalai, Banswara, Rajasthan, a powerful wave of change is sweeping through. A church, once a symbol of Christian influence, is being transformed back into a Hindu temple dedicated to the mighty Bhagwan Bhairavji. This isn’t just a random shift—"the Church used to be a temple around 125 years ago", a sacred Hindu space that was taken over by foreign beliefs long ago. Now, it’s being reclaimed. The driving force behind this glorious return is Gautam Garasiya, the church’s former pastor, who, along with 80 Christian families, has chosen to embrace Hinduism again through “ghar wapsi”—a beautiful homecoming to their ancestral faith. Under the inspiring Bharat Mata Mandir Project, this church will proudly stand as a temple once more on March 9, 2025.
