Patriarchy Is Not Just About Men—It’s About Power Without Righteousness

We often talk about patriarchy as a system that oppresses women and favors men. While this traditional understanding holds a large part of the truth, it is limited. The real problem runs much deeper—and unless we understand its root, we will keep fighting symptoms instead of the disease. Let’s take a journey to redefine patriarchy—not just through the lens of gender, but through the lens of justice and righteousness —and their absence. 🔹 Phase 1: Traditional Understanding of Patriarchy Patriarchy has long been understood as a social structure in which men dominate—economically, politically, religiously, and socially. This is absolutely true. This view sees patriarchy as: A system where men inherit power, and women are reduced to submissive caregivers. A culture that leads to female infanticide, lack of education, bride burning, dowry harassment, and the suppression of women’s voices. A world where gender roles are rigid, and women are often denied autonomy. Feminist movements arose t...

“What Went Wrong? The Fall of Women’s Status from Vedic India to Now”

India has always been known as the land where the feminine is divine. We worship Durga for strength, Lakshmi for prosperity, and Saraswati for wisdom. Our epics, the Ramayana and Mahabharata, show women with high dignity, respect, and influence — from Sita’s moral power to Draupadi’s voice in the Kaurava Sabha. They did not compromise.In the Vedic age, women like Gargi, Maitreyi, and Lopamudra were scholars and rishis. Education, freedom of choice, and dignity were their rights. So, what went wrong? How did a civilization that once celebrated women’s power fall into practices like dowry exploitation, child marriage, female foeticide, purdah/ghunghat, and even bride-burning? The answer lies in slavery, insecurity, and centuries of foreign domination. Women in Ancient India: A Golden Standard •Equal Education: Women studied the Vedas, debated philosophy, and participated in yajnas. •Learning Yudh Kala: In ancient times, Hindu women used to learn Yudh Kala, and participating in war was ...

When Evil Wears the Mask of Goodness: A Psychological Trap

🌑 The Origin of Evil’s Deception In the beginning, evil was rejected. It was ugly, selfish, and raw—too obvious to deceive anyone. It had no fans, no charm, and no admiration. But evil is not foolish—it is observant. It began watching the divine : •How it speaks. •How it behaves. •How it gives, forgives, and glows with authenticity. Evil was mesmerized by how the divine attracted people—not through force, but through love and righteousness. So evil decided to imitate . But it didn’t change its inner nature . It only wore the outer garments of goodness. Thus began the most dangerous illusion in human society: The imitation of goodness without the transformation of conscience. This is what we now call: Image Building . 🌍 Where This Illusion Exists Today We see it everywhere: •In homes , where toxic relatives pretend to be loving while manipulating. •In workplaces , where people act supportive but secretly sabotage others. •In politics , where leaders speak of justice but crave control...

Where Are the Roots of Corruption—and How Is It Similar to Addiction?

Let’s Explore the Truth When we talk about corruption in politics, education, or government offices, we often treat it as a problem at the top. But the real roots of corruption lie elsewhere—deep in our classrooms . Corruption doesn’t begin in a minister’s cabin or a government department. It begins in the exam hall—with a whisper, a hidden chit, or a stolen glance at a friend’s answer sheet. We casually call it “helping a friend.” HOW THE SEED IS SOWN It all starts with a distorted idea of smartness and kindness : •A student cheats and calls it clever. •A friend helps someone cheat and calls it loyalty. •A teacher looks away, thinking it's harmless. But this is the beginning of moral compromise. Children begin to internalize dangerous messages: •“Success matters more than honesty.” •“If everyone does it, it must be okay.” And slowly, the brain rewires. What once felt wrong now feels routine—and even justified. This is how the foundation of corruption is quietly laid, long before a...

🧠 When Love Becomes Control: From Selfishness to Narcissism in Society and Families

In everyday life, we often encounter people whose actions—though seemingly normal or even “caring”—feel disturbing, overbearing, and emotionally draining. They may be laughing, crying, or claiming to act for our welfare, yet somehow, their behavior leaves us exhausted, manipulated, and unheard. These people may not carry the clinical label of “narcissist,” but at the core of their actions lies one disturbing truth: It’s always about them. 🔹 The Selfish Personality: No Room for You A selfish person does not recognize boundaries. Their emotional world is centered on fulfilling their own needs, even if that means stepping over your mental space, decisions, or freedom. If they laugh, it’s to feel superior. If they cry, it’s to gain sympathy or regain control. If they help, it’s so they can later claim a favor or appear morally high. Even their so-called goodness is transactional—done not out of compassion, but to gain praise, power, or satisfaction. “Everything they do—whether it se...
