The flood of off-season vegetables and fruits in the market is a direct and clear indication that these vegetables are being grown using excessive amounts of growth regulators, pesticides, and fungicides, which are very harmful to health.

Neither the enforcement agencies are paying attention to this, nor are buyers thinking about from where these off-season crops are coming?
After RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s remark that any Hindu, regardless of caste, can rise to the organisation’s top leadership, the statement has triggered a wider debate on representation and internal change. Historically, most of the RSS chiefs have come from upper-caste backgrounds, with only one non-Brahmin leading the organisation so far. With the leadership chosen by nomination rather than a formal election, the key question is whether this message signals a real shift or remains largely symbolic. Is the RSS moving toward genuine social diversity in its highest leadership, or is the statement more about optics at a time when caste representation has become a major political issue ?
आर.एस.एस. प्रमुख मोहन भागवत के इस बयान कि कोई भी हिंदू, चाहे वह किसी भी जाति का हो, संगठन के सर्वोच्च नेतृत्व तक पहुंच सकता है, ने प्रतिनिधित्व और आंतरिक बदलाव को लेकर नई बहस छेड़ दी है। इतिहास पर नजर डालें तो अब तक संगठन के अधिकांश प्रमुख ऊंची जातियों से रहे हैं और केवल एक गैर-ब्राह्मण इस पद तक पहुंच पाया है। चूंकि शीर्ष नेतृत्व का चयन चुनाव के बजाय नामांकन से होता है, इसलिए बड़ा सवाल यह है कि क्या यह बयान वास्तविक बदलाव का संकेत है या केवल प्रतीकात्मक संदेश है। ऐसे समय में जब जातीय प्रतिनिधित्व बड़ा राजनीतिक मुद्दा बन चुका है, क्या आर.एस.एस. अपने शीर्ष नेतृत्व में सचमुच सामाजिक विविधता की ओर बढ़ रहा है, या यह केवल छवि सुधार की कोशिश है ?
Appointed as SOI president in 2024, Ranbir Singh Dhillon represents the Shiromani Akali Dal’s attempt to rebuild its youth base ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. But with Punjab’s young voters increasingly driven by concerns over jobs, migration, drugs, and economic opportunities rather than traditional student politics, the bigger question is whether organisational youth leadership can translate into real electoral influence. Can leaders like Ranbir Singh Dhillon mobilise a new generation for the Akali Dal, or will youth outreach remain limited to campus networks without a decisive impact on the 2027 political battlefield ?
