Among northern India’s more unique communities are the Mirasis. The word ‘Mirasi’ comes from the Arabic ‘miras’ which means inheritance or heritage. And that more or less points towards their traditional occupation. They were the genealogists of yore who kept track of the family tree, its history and were called upon by their patrons to narrate these at family gatherings and functions. Tales of bravery by the warriors of the family, banal accounts of property transactions (especially useful in times of dispute) and the finer details of marriages and alliances — these and other snippets constituted the material that the Mirasis stored in their heads. These homegrown historians often rendered these accounts in song and hence, their skills as musicians were also in demand. In 1459, Bhai Mardana was born into one such Mirasi family in Rai Bhoi Di Talwandi (Talvandi Rai Bhoe in some accounts) now Nankana Sahib , in the Sheikhupura district of Pakistan . His parents were Bhai Badre and Bib

Mumbai:  NCP leader turned BJP Rajya Sabha MP Udayanraje Bhosale on Sunday said the issue of reservations for the Maratha community in Maharashtra was being delayed deliberately and asked people to seek answers from those responsible. Speaking to reporters, Bhosale said Maratha quota was overlooked even at the time of the implementation of the Mandal Commission report as the party which ruled the state during that period (in 1990) overlooked problems of the community. NCP chief Sharad Pawar was the Congress chief minister of Maharashtra at the time. "All communities, except Marathas, were given reservations under Mandal Commission. The people you trusted and voted for will pull you down," Bhosale said. He also hit out at the Uddhav Thackeray dispensation for "not taking the issue ahead" and claimed "the state government lawyer" missed a hearing of the quota issue in the Supreme Court, adding that the "community will react to such tactics".

After days of staging a protest at Delhi's Singhu and Tikri borders, farm leaders on Sunday demanded that the Centre must repeal the three new farm laws as they are "anti-farmer and pro-corporate", and that MSP should be guaranteed.

New Delhi: Amid ongoing protests by a section of farmers against new farm laws, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday asserted that these agriculture reforms have not only freed peasants from various shackles but have also bestowed on them new rights and opportunities.

New Delhi:  The Editors Guild of India has urged the Press Council of India to withdraw its "ominous-sounding" advisory cautioning against "unregulated circulation of the foreign content", saying it has disturbing implications. In a statement, the guild said it is perturbed by the "unprovoked" advisory issued by the Press Council of India on 25 November to the media. "Through this advisory, it appears that the Council, which swears by self-regulation of media and believes that any government interference would be destructive to press freedom, is lending its weight towards a step that could bring in some form of censorship and punitive actions against those organisations that publish content, which in its view is seen as 'not desirable'," the guild said. The advisory does not specify who will verify the content, on what criterion will it be verified, and most importantly, what does "unregulated circulation" even mean, the stat
