Symbolic photo Jharkhand Spirit, Deepak Mishra :  Recently, I witnessed something that left me deeply concerned. A five-year-old girl from my relative’s family had been watching videos on a mobile phone for almost four continuous hours. What surprised me even more was that her parents did not say a single word to stop her or even try to interrupt her. When it was time for her to go to school, she began making excuses and refused to go. After having lunch, instead of studying or playing, she once again picked up the mobile and started watching reels endlessly. An old lady of the house, noticing all this, softly remarked that this habit could spoil the child and that it was not good for her future. To my surprise, instead of understanding the concern, the parents defended their child, saying, “She is a modern-era baby and is learning a lot of things from mobile.” I chose to remain silent at that moment because I knew they wouldn’t understand what is truly happening. But deep insi...

View of Madhuban Shikharjee Jharkhand Spirit, Deepak Mishra :  Even as half of September has passed, Madhuban Shikharjee continues to be drenched by incessant rainfall. The continuous downpour is not only troubling the thousands of pilgrims who come here with faith and devotion but also affecting the daily lives and livelihoods of local residents. Madhuban, located at the foothills of Parasnath Hill in Jharkhand, holds immense spiritual significance for followers of Jain Dharma. It is believed to be the place where 20 out of 24 revered Tirthankaras attained salvation (moksha). Because of this, the town attracts thousands of Jain devotees from across the country and abroad every year, especially for the sacred hill yatra and other religious rituals. However, this year has been exceptionally challenging. Locals say that the rains have been relentless since 16 May, and even now, in mid-September, there is no sign of respite. The unceasing showers have made it difficult for pilgri...
