Let’s cut to the chase. The story just got stranger. The US Department of Justice released 3.5 million pages, thousands of photos, and hundreds of videos linked to Jeffrey Epstein. This happened because of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed by President Trump in 2025. Public pressure forced the hand. But here’s the catch: large chunks of the documents are blacked out.

As red flags grow fewer and May Day rallies lose their once-vibrant fervour across India and the world, the appeal of International Workers’ Day appears to be waning. What was once a powerful symbol of solidarity now struggles amid economic pragmatism and rising nationalist currents. This decline coincides with a stark reality: despite three decades of Liberalisation, Privatisation, and Globalisation (LPG) reforms and claims of economic upsurge, income disparities and inequalities in India have sharpened.

Chambal. Merely uttering the name once made the heart skip a beat. Straddling the borders of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan, the ravines of Chambal were no ordinary geographical feature. They resembled the torn chest of the earth itself, deep, twisting, mysterious. Even sunlight seemed hesitant to descend fully there, as if afraid it might never return.
