Season of Yellow



Photographer Raghubir Singh once said that India knows colour through intuition. Colour in India is more than just visual aesthetics, it has its own seasons, its own symbolism and sociology. Each colour tells a complex story.

Yellow: Every colour has its symbolism and sociology. We look at the stories linked to the colour of Spring in India At the Dargah of Nizamuddin Auliya in Delhi, spring is celebrated with everyone wearing yellow and carrying mustard pots. The yellow stone of Jaisalmer is the yellow gold for the people of the town. The yellow 'odhni' worn by the women of Rajasthan signify that they are mothers of new born sons. Yellow was the colour of sacrifice. Bhagat Singh would say 'mera rang de basanti chola'. Yellow is the colour of haldi, used prominently in traditions across India

Delhi gangrape: 'Godman' Asaram blames braveheart




Self-proclaimed godman Asaram Bapu has kicked up a controversy after holding the Delhi braveheart herself responsible for the barbaric sexual assault on her by a group of six men. He said, "Only five to six people are not the culprits. The victim is as guilty as her rapists. She should have called the culprits brothers and begged before them to stop. This could have saved her dignity and life. Can one hand clap? I don't think so."
BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad, "Sorry! It is not acceptable. Asaram Bapu's statement on Delhi braveheart is regrettable and deeply disturbing, unfortunate. He should introspect and immediately withdraw his statement."
