On 4th August, the Supreme Court of India took strong exception to remarks made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in December 2022, where he alleged that “Chinese soldiers are thrashing Indian Army personnel in Arunachal Pradesh.” This controversial statement was made during the "Bharat Jodo Yatra" on 16th December 2022, shortly after tensions flared between Indian and Chinese troops along the Arunachal Pradesh border.

In yet another fiery outburst that’s bound to deepen political and religious fault lines, NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) leader and four-time MLA Jitendra Awhad stirred controversy on Saturday, August 2, by launching a scathing attack on Sanatan Dharma. During a public interaction with the media, Awhad didn’t mince words in branding the Sanatan tradition as an outdated and harmful ideology that, according to him, has been detrimental to the very soul of the country.

The ongoing probe into the shocking allegations of mass burials in the temple town of Dharmasthala, Karnataka, seems to be revealing more confusion than clarity. As of now, the Special Investigation Team (SIT), assigned to investigate the claims, has not discovered any human remains of women at the sites mentioned by the sanitation worker who initially made the explosive allegations.

In a deeply shocking and violent episode at Srinagar Airport on July 26, 2025, a senior Army official has been accused of grievously assaulting four ground staff members of SpiceJet after he was asked to pay for carrying excess cabin luggage on flight SG 386 bound for Delhi.

The terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, 2025, has emerged as one of the deadliest hate-driven massacres India has seen since Pulwama. In a horrifying display of ideological violence, twenty-six civilians were executed, with all but one being Hindu. Terrorists reportedly forced their victims to recite the Kalma and checked for circumcision to identify non-Muslims, targeting them with calculated brutality.

As Bihar gears up for its Assembly elections slated for later in 2025, a fresh political controversy has surfaced. The electoral process has once again come under scrutiny, this time involving none other than the Rashtriya Janata Dal’s (RJD) key face and Chief Ministerial candidate, Tejashwi Yadav, son of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav.

The Congress party has once again ignited political tensions, this time with a term that is raising eyebrows and stirring sharp reactions—‘Sanatani terrorism’. Former Maharashtra Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan has drawn fire for using this phrase, especially in the wake of the acquittal of all seven accused in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case by a special NIA court. The fresh controversy signals Congress’ continuing pattern of allegedly vilifying Hindus after the earlier ‘Bhagwa terror’ narrative fell flat.

On Thursday, 31st July 2025, the Supreme Court of India made a significant announcement that could have long-term national implications. A three-judge bench comprising Justices Surya Kant, Dipankar Datta, and N Kotiswar Singh said that the Court would decide whether the Rohingyas living in India are to be regarded as refugees or illegal immigrants. The matter, which involves serious national and legal questions, will be heard over an extended three-day session.

In a fresh controversy, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has found himself at the center of criticism after making a provably false claim involving the late BJP stalwart Arun Jaitley. While attacking the electoral system of India and the contentious farm laws during the Congress Party’s Annual Legal Conclave in New Delhi, Rahul Gandhi narrated an incident that has left many baffled.

On Friday, 1st August, a flood of misleading posts took over social media platforms, especially X (formerly known as Twitter), falsely portraying a communal incident onboard an Indigo flight. The central claim? That a Hindu man had assaulted a Muslim co-passenger mid-flight. But what actually unfolded was far removed from this carefully crafted narrative.
