In the Shadows of Raja: “Bou Buttu Bhuta” Redefines Odia Cinema with Spectral Allegory of Rural Struggle
Prerna Bhat 7/18/2025 11:48:23 PM
When Jagdish Mishra’s Bou Buttu Bhuta opened on 12 June 2025, coinciding with the vibrant Raja Parba festival in Odisha it did more than send audiences fleeing their seats in fright; it shattered box-office records, becoming the first Odia film to cross ₹10 crore in net collections and ultimately grossing over ₹15 crore on a modest ₹3 crore budget . Yet its commercial triumph is merely the prologue to a film that transcends genre conventions, weaving horror, folklore, and social commentary into a richly layered tapestry. At its heart is Buttu (Babushaan Mohanty), a humble fish farmer whose longing to escape economic hardship collides with the supernatural when he becomes host to the vengefu

The role of the Anganwadi worker has evolved in tandem
vijay Garg 7/18/2025 11:48:11 PM
Today, the numbers tell a radically different story. Over 13.96 lakh Anganwadi Centres are digitally mapped, tracking more than 10 crore beneficiaries in near real-time. Ninety-nine per cent of these are Aadhaar-authenticated, making nutrition governance more targeted, accountable, and responsive than ever before. More than 12 lakh smartphones and nearly 13.85 lakh growth monitoring devices are in the hands of frontline staff, transforming paper-bound posts into smart service points. A helpline (14408), launched in 2022, has registered a massive number of calls, largely from Anganwadi workers seeking tech support. That such a system now exists is itself a marker of transformation. Field wo

Mental rabies means distance from humans, closeness with dogs
Dr. Satyawan Saurabh7/18/2025 11:48:00 PM
We live in a time where people leave their mothers in old age homes but buy velvet beds for dogs. Where paying child’s fees is difficult but throwing an anniversary party for a pet is considered ‘cute’. This is the age where the direction of compassion has changed, not expanded. It is not bad to love animals and birds, but when this love turns into distance and neglect from humans, it is not a sign of mental balance but of mental confusion. Nowadays people say that dogs are the most loyal. True, but should we make loyalty so great that parents, siblings, old neighbours and needy society all become secondary? To what extent is it justified to disregard humanity in the name of loyalty? This

Today, Students must be Empowered to Choose not just what is “Safe,”
Vijay Garg 7/18/2025 11:47:49 PM
For decades, Indian students have been conditioned to believe that success lies at the end of a narrow academic tunnel—one that begins with Science in school and ends with Engineering or Medicine. While this formula has served past generations, the future demands something far broader, more nuanced, and reflective of the real world: a shift towards the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Commerce. Today, the world is no longer divided into rigid silos of Science versus Arts. The real problems we face—climate change, mental health crises, digital ethics, social inequality—require interdisciplinary thinking. These are challenges not of biology or physics alone, but of understanding human behavio
