Can’t English be considered an indigenous Indian language, asks Supreme Court

Published by Parlour News

The Supreme Court on Tuesday (July 14, 2026) questioned the categorising of English as a “non-native language” by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in the three-language scheme, teaming the tongue spoken in India for over 300 years and used for official communication in at least five States with others like German, Spanish, Arabic, and French. “Can India consider English as an indigenous Indian language,” Justice Joymalya Bagchi, part of a three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, asked. The latest circular issued by the CBSE on July 10 differentiates between ‘Bharatiya Bhashas’ like Hindi, Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, etc. from the ‘non-native’ languages. The three-language scheme, which is under dispute, requires Class 9 students to study at least two languages “native to India”. Justice Bagchi said the term ‘native’ used by the CBSE was loaded with colonial meaning. “What does this word ‘native’ mean? Can it be understood as indigenous Indian language,” Justice Bagchi asked. The judge pointed out that neither the Constitution nor the statute books use the term …

Why is Amavasya considered a highly auspicious astrological event, according to an enlightened master

Why is Amavasya considered a highly auspicious astrological event, according to an enlightened master

Published by Parlour News

The New Moon or Amavasya has held a special place in spiritual traditions. While many people see it as simply a lunar phase where the moon disappears from the night sky, ancient yogic teachings viewed it as something much deeper. It was believed to be a period of inner silence, heightened awareness, and spiritual transformation. A representative image of the Full Moon. (Unsplash) According to HH Guruji Sundar of Aathman Awareness Centre, “It’s a rare cosmic condition where subtle energies affecting the mind and consciousness experience a major shift”. Amavasya is not merely the absence of moonlight. It is a unique cosmic state in which a human being’s inner energies become more receptive to spiritual growth. Why does Amavasya hold spiritual significance? In Hindu traditions and many ancient spiritual systems, Amavasya has long been considered an auspicious time to begin something new. Since the moon begins its waxing journey after complete darkness, it symbolises renewal, growth, and fresh possibilities. However, HH Guruji Sundar explains that the significance goes beyond rituals and symbolism. Ancient yogis believed …

Bastar close to being considered Naxal-free, possibility of revival extremely remote: IGP

Published by Parlour News

Inspector General of Police (Bastar Range) P. Sundarraj  | Photo Credit: File Photo Inspector General of Police (Bastar Range) P. Sundarraj on Monday said Bastar today stands “very close to being considered Naxal-free” and the likelihood of a large-scale revival of the Maoist movement appears “extremely remote”. The statement came on the eve of the Centre’s deadline to eliminate Maoism in the country. Mr. Sundarraj said Bastar has historically been considered the strategic nucleus of the Maoist movement. Chhattisgarh Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma recently said “96% of Bastar is free from Maoism and only 30 to 40 active cadres remain”. There has been an escalation in anti-Naxal operations in Bastar since January 2024, resulting in 500 Maoist cadres being killed as of March 29 this year. They included top cadres such as the secretary general of the CPI (Maoist), Basavaraju, who was killed in May last year. “Of the 24 individuals who constituted the central committee and the politburo in 2024, only one politburo member remains active. Another senior leader, Ganapathy, has remained inactive …

5 min readKochiUpdated: Mar 30, 2026 06:28 PM IST Actors donning the director’s hat isn’t a recent phenomenon in Indian cinema. From Guru Dutt, Raj Kapoor, Aparna Sen, Kamal Haasan, and Revathy to Aamir Khan, Nandita Das, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ajay Devgn, Seema Pahwa, Farhan Akhtar, Naseeruddin Shah, and R Madhavan, the list is long. The scene is no different in the Malayalam film industry either, where noted actors like Sheela, Madhu, Pratap Pothen, Sreenivasan, Venu Nagavally, Cochin Haneefa, Madhupal, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Vineeth Sreenivasan and Mohanlal, among many others, have tried their hands at filmmaking. In fact, even Mammootty once considered becoming a director, though not solely because of his fascination with filmmaking. Before becoming the megastar he is today, there was a phase in Mammootty’s career when pretty much everyone, including him, was certain his days in the film industry were numbered. During the mid-1980s, his movies, including good ones, bombed one after another, to the point where most people concluded that he would only get supporting roles going forward — and that, too, …
