From Triveni Sangam to Supreme Court: The Two Sides of Modern Bharat

By Aryan Prem Rana, VRIGHTPATH

Bharat Varsh is hosting the world’s largest religious gathering, where over 570 million devotees have participated in the sacred bathing rituals at the Triveni Sangam and other ghats. It is the world's largest spiritual congregation, bringing together seekers, saints, and common people to purify themselves through rituals, discussions, and spiritual experiences. हिंदी में पढ़िए

On the other hand, it is deeply unfortunate that the recent controversy involving comedian Samay Raina and YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, has escalated into a nationwide legal battle. The matter has reached the Supreme Court of India and even drawn attention in Parliament. The controversy stems from remarks made by Allahbadia during an episode of Raina’s YouTube show India’s Got Latent, which have led to multiple legal cases being filed against him across the country.

Earlier this week, Allahbadia appeared before the Supreme Court seeking the consolidation of the multiple FIRs filed against him. While granting him interim bail, the Court reprimanded him for his comments, signaling the gravity of the matter.

Legal Proceedings Against Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia, and Others

The FIR That Started It All

The controversy erupted after a clip featuring Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks went viral on social media. On February 10, an FIR was filed in Guwahati, Assam, against Allahbadia, Raina, and others, including content creators Apoorva Makhija, YouTuber Ashish Chanchalani, and comedian Jaspreet Singh. The charges include “promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit and vulgar discussions,” as confirmed by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

Legal Sections Invoked

The Guwahati Crime Branch registered a case under various sections, including:

o Sections 79, 95, 294, and 296 of BNS 2023

o Section 67 of the IT Act, 2000

o Sections 4 and 7 of the Cinematograph Act, 1952

o Sections 4 and 6 of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986

Multiple Cases Filed Across India

Apart from Assam, the show’s organizers and participants face legal action in Mumbai under relevant sections of the IT Act. The Mumbai Cyber Cell has reportedly filed cases against 30-40 individuals, including guests from previous episodes. Jaipur police have also lodged a case.

Supreme Court’s Intervention

The Supreme Court, while granting interim bail to Ranveer Allahbadia, expressed strong disapproval of his remarks. The Court halted the filing of any new FIRs against him but directed him to submit his passport and refrain from leaving the country without prior approval. Additionally, he has been ordered to temporarily stop posting content.

Maharashtra Cyber Cell’s Summons to Samay Raina

On February 17, the Maharashtra Cyber Cell denied Raina’s request to record his statement virtually, as he is currently in the United States. He was asked to appear physically the next day but failed to do so. Authorities have stated that fresh summons will be issued against him.

Ranveer Allahbadia’s Upcoming Appearance:

Despite the ongoing investigation, Ranveer Allahbadia is scheduled to appear before the Maharashtra Cyber Cell on February 24, as per news agency ANI.

Summoning of Other Public Figures:

The controversy has widened, dragging more individuals into legal scrutiny. Actor Rakhi Sawant has been summoned by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell to record her statement on February 27 as she had appeared in multiple episodes of India’s Got Latent.

National Commission for Women’s (NCW) Action:

The NCW issued fresh summons to Allahbadia, Raina, and others after they failed to appear for a prior hearing on February 17. As per ANI reports:

o March 6: Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Makhija, Ashish Chanchalani, Tushar Poojari, and Saurabh Bothra must appear.

o March 11: Samay Raina, Jaspreet Singh, and Balraj Ghai have been summoned.

Apologies and Public Reactions:

Ranveer Allahbadia has publicly apologized twice, admitting his lack of judgment in making the controversial remarks. However, he also revealed that he has been receiving death threats and that unknown individuals have visited his mother’s clinic, pretending to be patients.

Content Removal and Future Compliance:

In response to the controversy, Samay Raina has deleted all episodes of India’s Got Latent from YouTube. He has also assured full cooperation with investigative agencies.

The Farah Khan Holi Controversy

A new controversy has erupted involving director and writer Farah Khan, who has faced backlash over her remarks about the Hindu festival Holi. A police complaint has been filed against her for calling Holi a “festival of chhapris” during an episode of her culinary show Celebrity MasterChef 2025.

Legal and Public Reactions

• The term used by Farah Khan in the context of Holi celebrations has been widely condemned as derogatory and offensive. Critics argue that such remarks, made under the guise of freedom of expression, hurt religious sentiments and misuse the rights granted under Article 19 of the Indian Constitution.

• Legal experts and social commentators have emphasized that celebrities and leaders must exercise caution in their public statements. The growing sentiment in Modern Bharat is that such offenses will not be taken lightly and individuals responsible will be held accountable by the law.

• The case against Khan adds to the ongoing debate over the boundaries of free speech, particularly when it comes to religious and cultural sensitivities.

No One Should Be Spared for Inappropriate Language, Behavior, and Public Conduct

It is deeply concerning to see Ranveer Allahbadia, who has meticulously built an image as a popular spiritual influencer, align himself with such a program and engage in inappropriate speech. Spiritual figures are revered by millions as role models of good conduct, moral integrity, and upholders of Sanatana Dharma principles.

Ranveer Allahbadia At a BAAR!

These controversies highlight a crucial debate on public behavior, responsible speech, and the limits of free expression. While creative content often thrives on challenging norms, it must do so within the legal and ethical boundaries of society. The ongoing legal proceedings will set a significant precedent for how such cases are addressed in India.

As the case progresses, it will be crucial to see how the legal system balances free speech, accountability, and the preservation of public decency. Regardless of their influence, no one should be above the consequences of inappropriate language, behavior, or public conduct.

What a Good Person Gives, and What a Bad Person Takes Away — The Mirror of Life

By VRIGHTPATH – An Eternal Knowledge Platform to Bridge Your Karma Gaps In life, we meet two kinds of people — the good and the bad.

Understanding what a good person gives us, and what a bad person silently takes away, is essential for living a meaningful life. ( हिंदी में पढ़ें ) What Does a Good Person Give?

Shravan: A Month of Ecological Wisdom, Spiritual Alignment & Shared Compassion

By Ayesha Rana, Co-Founder, VRIGHT PATH In India, the month of Shravan —associated with Lord Shiva —is revered as a sacred period of fasting, prayer, and spiritual discipline. But there’s a reason why this month does not begin on the same date everywhere. More importantly, there is a far deeper logic to its observance than simply abstaining from meat or alcohol. ( Hindi ) Why Does Shravan Start on Different Dates Across India? India follows two distinct lunar calendar systems : Amanta system (month ends with Amavasya) — followed in South & West India (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra, Telangana, etc.) Purnimanta system (month ends with Purnima) — followed in North & Central India (UP, Bihar, MP, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, etc.) This causes a one-month difference , so while Shravan in North India has started on July 10 , in the South, it will start from 25 July 2025. Shravan Is More Than Abstinence: It's Ecol...

Shraddha Paksha: Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science

By Ayesha Aryan Rana , Co-Founder, VRIGHT Path Why a Millennia-Old Ritual Still Matters Today Every year, as Shraddha Paksha (Pitru Paksha) approaches, debates resurface. Many intellectuals, scientists, and modern skeptics dismiss it as blind faith—“just another ritual created by Brahmins.” Some even call it outdated in a world driven by science, data, and rationalism. But if you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more to this ritual than feeding crows, making rice-ball offerings ( pinda-dana ), or chanting mantras for departed souls—pause. Because the truth is, Shraddha Paksha is not superstition. It is science, psychology, ecology, and spirituality—woven together in ways our ancestors intuited long before laboratories validated the same principles. ( Hindi ) Five Truths Sanatana Dharma Knew Before Science Did 1. Everything Is Energy: “Sarvam Khalvidam Brahma” The Upanishads declared thousands of years ago that all existence is one vibratin...

By VRIGHTPATH – An Eternal Knowledge Platform to Bridge Your Karma Gaps On June 12, 2025, tragedy struck as Air India Flight AI-171 , a Boeing 787-8 en route from Ahmedabad to London, crashed shortly after takeoff, resulting in the loss of 270 plus lives, including those living at the fatal accident site. Read in Hindi The event left the nation shocked, not only because of the magnitude of loss but also due to the mysterious alignments surrounding the incident — both numerological and astrological. Among those who met with this illfate was former Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani , who had twice cancelled his flight ticket , reportedly influenced by personal beliefs in his “lucky number 1206.” Ironically, this same number appeared in the license plate of a two-wheeler involved in the crash zone — an uncanny reminder that numbers alone aren’t always enough when facing decisions tied to fate.

In hour of triumph...

Indian cricket fraternity have hailed the team`s elevation to the top of the Test rankings but warned Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his men that staying at the summit is always tougher than reaching there. India beat Sri Lanka by an innings and 24 runs to clinch the three match series 2-0 and top the ICC rankings for the first time since its 2003 inception. Former captain Sunil Gavaskar led the tribute but also reminded the contributions of former captains Sourav Ganguly and Anil Kumble in making the side a formidable outfit. "Players like Sourav Ganguly and Anil Kumble made a lot of contribution. They are the guys who moulded the team. Their teammates imbibed fighting qualities from the Gangulys and Kumbles," Gavaskar said. Individually, Gavaskar reckoned, Sachin Tendulkar would cherish the feat more than anyone else.

169 Cape Town Test vs South Africa 1997

India were yet again in a familiar situation on an away tour; the South African bowlers had blown away the fragile top-order and at 58-5 the story looked more than just grim. The vistors were shot out for 100 and 66 in the first Test at Kingsmead, Durban, and a repeat looked well on cards. This until Azhar joined Sachin Tendulkar at the crease. Both the batsmen took on the bowlers and turned the firing the other way. While Azhar played at his carefree best, Sachin was more compact but no less grand.

Respect Sanatan Culture: 10 Things Every Sanatani Must Know

By VRight Path ॐ गं गणपतये नमः In today’s fast-paced and globalized world, it's easy to unknowingly adopt words, habits, and concepts that may contradict the values of our timeless Sanatan Dharma. It’s important for every follower of this ancient tradition to understand and preserve the depth and dignity of our culture. Here are some essential points that every Sanatani should know and remember: 1. Say “Bhagwan Ram” or “Bhagwan Krishna” – Not “Lord” Ask yourself: Were Bhagwan Ram or Bhagwan Krishna ever members of England’s “House of Lords”? Then why use the title “Lord”? The English term does not carry the same spiritual reverence as the word “Bhagwan,” which signifies divinity and supreme consciousness in Sanatan Dharma. Let’s use our own respectful expressions: Bhagwan Shri Ram , Bhagwan Shri Krishna . 2. Avoid Saying “RIP” The phrase Rest In Peace (RIP) originates from burial customs and assumes the soul rests at one place. ...
