April 2023 Archive: What We Covered This Month
April brought a mixed bag of short articles that dig into history, social quirks, and everyday legal questions. Whether you’re curious about why Spain set up missions in California or how to stay calm when someone shouts hate at India, we’ve got a quick read for you.
History & Culture Highlights
We kicked off the month with a look at Spanish colonization. The piece on "Why did Spain establish missions and presidios in California?" explains that the Spanish wanted to spread Catholicism, protect trade routes, and keep rivals like Russia at bay. It’s a neat snapshot of how a few forts changed an entire region.
Next up, we asked a cultural question: "Why do some Indians hate Indian Americans (ABCDs)?" The answer points to differences in lifestyle, perceived privilege, and a clash of values between those who grew up in India and those raised abroad. It’s a simple way to see why the debate matters.
We also explored marriage attitudes in "Do Indian men prefer marrying foreigners too? Why or why not?" The article breaks down the mix of curiosity, status symbols, and family pressure that shape these choices. It’s not a one‑size answer, but it gives you a feel for the social vibe.
Current Issues & Opinions
If you’ve ever wondered about handling hate, our "How to deal with people who hate India and Indians openly?" guide suggests staying calm, asking why, and maybe sharing facts instead of matching anger. It’s a practical tip sheet for heated moments.
Legal queries got their turn too. In "What if I did a hit and run but came back to give information?" we explain that even if you return and give details, you can still face charges, though the act may soften the penalty. The key takeaway: stay at the scene and cooperate.
Political opinions surfaced with "Do you think Narendra Modi is a weak Prime Minister?" The piece lists achievements like GST and welfare schemes, then balances them with criticisms about poverty, inequality, and corruption. It reads like a quick debate starter.
For media fans, there’s a short guide on where to find the editorial page in the Times of India. It’s tucked in the Opinion section, hosting pieces on everything from politics to pop culture.
Finally, a nod to the judiciary with "To speak truth to power is duty of all: D Y Chandrachud?" The article reminds us that speaking up is a civic duty, encouraging readers to stay vigilant against injustice.
