Shiv Aroor's take on whether the controversy over Diljit Dosanjh's Satluj reflects lingering discomfort with revisiting Punjab's insurgency-era wounds, raising the question of whether confronting difficult chapters of history strengthens democracy more than keeping them out of public view.
Just days after its digital release, Diljit Dosanjh-starrer Satluj-originally titled Punjab 95-has been taken down from an OTT platform, reigniting a debate over censorship, artistic freedom and national interest. The film, based on activist Jaswant Singh Khalra's efforts to uncover alleged disappearances during Punjab's insurgency era, had already faced years of certification hurdles and proposed cuts. While sources cite concerns that parts of the film could be misused to promote an anti-India narrative, political parties and filmmakers are questioning the decision. Is the controversy surrounding Satluj justified, or is an important chapter of history being kept from public view?
A month after the Ram Temple donation theft controversy erupted, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has accepted the resignations of General Secretary Champat Rai and trustee Anil Mishra, while appointing Krishna Mohan as interim General Secretary. But even as the Trust moved to change the guard, it strongly defended Champat Rai's role, praising his "maturity and magnanimity" and asserting that all donated valuables remain safe. Is the Trust taking genuine corrective action, or is this a clean-up exercise that stops short of fixing accountability?
They added that the team also safely brought out a 72-year-old elderly woman, describing the rescue as an exemplary display of duty and commitment.
