The Hoysala temples are known for evolving a distinct style that is ornate with temple architecture following a stellate plan built on a raised platform. The material used in temple construction is choloritic schist which is also known as soapstone that are soft and amiable to carving.

Why is the Khalistan movement continuing in Canada?
Five Important Takeaway Points
🔸It is important to note here that not all Canadian Sikhs are Khalistan supporters, and for most in the Sikh diaspora, Khalistan is not a “hot” issue.
🔸Canadian leaders do not want to lose Sikh votes but they wrongly think the loud minority of Khalistanis are all Sikhs of Canada. (votebank politics)
🔸The support for Khalistan within the diaspora is because of its lack of connection to the ground realities of Punjab. The diaspora comprises people “who chose to leave”, including those who left during the 1980s, when the movement was at its peak and the Indian state was extremely hard on Khalistani separatists, with a lot of extra-judicial arrests and killings. The memories of those times have kept the movement alive among these people, even though the ground realities of Punjab are very different today.
🔸However, even within the diaspora, support has dwindled over the years. There is a small minority that is clinging to the past, and that small minority remains significant not because of popular support, but rather because they are trying to keep up their political influence with various political parties both from the left and the right. They can rally supporters en masse who will vote for the politicians who can sing their song. As a new generation of Sikhs grows up in foreign shores with little personal memory of India, the movement is likely to further dwindle.
🔸Today, the Khalistan movement is not about popular support … it is about geo-politics. Countries like China and Pakistan can well tolerate, subsidise and assist in various ways the Khalistan movement on the basis that it is making trouble for their enemies in India.”

Statue-in-cage is very unfortunate. People may agree or disagree with Priyar's ideas and actions. But putting his bust in a jail in order to save it from mutilation or defacement is tragic.

Quintessential dalit literature. It started in 1970s-80s in Marathi and soon in Tamil. By 1990s they were translated in English. I have heard that, by 2000s, such books have also started to appear in Hindi.
I had read a handful of such autobiographies back in 1999-2004 when I was growing up in a school in Pune.
However, I came from urban, educated, upper caste and middle class background. Nobody around me spoke about it, I never saw, and it was as if it didn't exist.
Only when I came out that part of my life did I start noticing it around.
Even to read such books require daring. To live them, one cannot imagine.

Would you prefer me sharing such excerpts from the books for value addition also? Or should I stick to earlier pattern of History and Culture related questions, MCQs, newspapers items?
