- Is there a pattern behind recent “controversial” films in India?
From The Kerala Story to The Kashmir Files, several films in recent years have sparked debates around propaganda, political messaging, and ideological influence. In this video, we investigate 10 such films and examine their alleged links to political figures, organizations, and networks.
We look at connections involving producers, directors, funding sources, and public endorsements—and ask: Is this just coincidence, or part of a larger pattern? Are some of these films directly linked to political actors associated with the BJP, RSS and Hindutva organisations?
This video is based on extensive research and publicly available statements, records, and reports.

- Can Nicobar Islands' Corals Survive Translocation? Coral Biologist Raises Doubts
- Date posted
- 4 days ago
- Description
- At a time when corals around the world are facing unprecedented threats from climate change, India’s plans to translocate big coral colonies in the Nicobar Islands for a mega development project has come under severe criticism. A comprehensive plan to translocate 16,150 coral colonies—as suggested by the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI)—enabled the Rs 92,000-crore project to get a go-ahead from the National Green Tribunal (NGT). The tribunal deemed that the plan by the ZSI had sufficient safeguards to give the mega port and township project a green light. However, Dr Bryan Wilson, a renowned coral biologist and Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, disagrees. In an exclusive interview with The Quint, Dr Wilson said the plan to translocate corals in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands—and the assumption that the environment will be exactly the same—is nothing short of "scientific madness".
Dr Wilson further questioned whether any independent scientific...

- The Beauty of the Pause: Understanding “Vaqfa” in Urdu Poetry
- Date posted
- 6 days ago
- Description
- After a short vaqfa, Urdunama returns with an episode on the very idea of pause. What does a simple break or interval mean in the language of Urdu verse?
Through lines by Mir Taqi Mir, Ahmad Mushtaq, and Aziz Bano Darab Wafa, we explore how pauses, silences, and brief halts often carry as much meaning as the words themselves. In poetry, the space between two phrases can deepen emotion, shape rhythm, and allow a thought to breathe.
This episode looks at how poets turn a vaqfa into metaphor which sometimes becomes a moment of rest, sometimes looks like a distance between longing and fulfilment, and sometimes it feels like the space where meaning emerges before the next line begins. Tune in.

- Description
- Eid was celebrated in Delhi’s Uttam Nagar amid threats from Hindutva organizations, with heavy police deployment in place as a precaution. The tension dates back to March 4, during Holi, when a dispute between a Hindu and a Muslim family escalated. Following this, Tarun Kumar Butolia was attacked with a cricket bat, iron rods, and stones, leading to his death and a spike in tensions in the area. In the aftermath, “protest gatherings” were held, bulldozer action was reported, and the situation deteriorated rapidly. Locals say social media further inflamed the issue, after which “outsiders” also joined the protests. Despite this, residents say they tried to celebrate Eid with peace and communal harmony, prioritizing togetherness over division.

- Can Nicobar Islands' Corals Survive Translocation? Coral Biologist Raises Doubts | The Quint
- Date posted

- Description
- At a time when corals around the world are facing unprecedented threats from climate change, India’s plans to translocate big coral colonies in the Nicobar Islands for a mega development project has come under severe criticism. A comprehensive plan to translocate 16,150 coral colonies—as suggested by the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI)—enabled the Rs 92,000-crore project to get a go-ahead from the National Green Tribunal (NGT). The tribunal deemed that the plan by the ZSI had sufficient safeguards to give the mega port and township project a green light. However, Dr Bryan Wilson, a renowned coral biologist and Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, disagrees. In an exclusive interview with The Quint, Dr Wilson said the plan to translocate corals in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands—and the assumption that the environment will be exactly the same—is nothing short of "scientific madness".
Dr Wilson further questioned whether any independent scientific...
