Vijeta Dahiya's Film Legacy: From Politics to Independent Cinema Vijeta Dahiya, the former spokesperson for the Chief Justice of India (CJP), has transitioned from a brief political career to becoming a filmmaker, aiming to leave a lasting legacy through cinema. His Haryanvi drama Dararein explores the complexities of family dynamics during a property division, reflecting broader societal issues in rural Haryana. Dahiya, a political researcher, author, and filmmaker, is now focused on creating sustainable models for India’s independent cinema industry. The film Dararein, released in 2021, centers on three brothers dividing their family’s assets, with the eldest brother grappling with the emotional and practical implications of the split. The story highlights generational tensions, with the eldest brother’s lifelong dedication to his family contrasting against the younger brother’s perceived selfishness. Dahiya described the film as a universal narrative, noting that many families face similar conflicts over property and responsibilities. The film is available for streaming on platforms like STAGE, Chaupal, and Tata Play Binge. Dahiya’s journey into filmmaking began after leaving a career in politics and academia. He graduated with an engineering degree from Delhi Technological University and worked as an assistant at the Ministry of External Affairs before moving to Mumbai. Despite initial struggles in acting, he shifted to behind-the-camera work, eventually directing Dararein. The production faced challenges, including actors juggling other jobs and filming primarily on weekends. The film’s authenticity stemmed from its non-actor cast, whose real-life experiences mirrored the characters’ struggles. Beyond Dararein, Dahiya has contributed to other media projects.#mumbai #chief_justice_of_india #vijeta_dahiya #delhi_technological_university #mohd_mohsin
Cockroach Janta Party Mobilizes for Delhi Protest Amid Education System Criticisms The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a Gen Z-led movement, is set to hold a protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on June 6, following claims of receiving permission from Delhi Police. The demonstration, scheduled to begin at 10 am, aims to address alleged lapses in the education system, including controversies surrounding the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and irregularities in the CBSE's on-screen marking (OSM) system used for evaluating Class 12 board exams. The party’s spokesperson, Vijeta Dahiya, stated that the protest is expected to attract “a few hundred people,” though the scale remains uncertain. Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of CJP, arrived in Delhi on Saturday to oversee the event. He urged supporters to maintain discipline and ensure the protest remains peaceful, emphasizing the need for “love and peace” in the movement. Dipke, a 30-year-old journalist from Maharashtra, has built the party into a significant online presence, with its Instagram account amassing over 22 million followers—more than double the Bharatiya Janata Party’s 9 million and surpassing the Congress party’s 13 million. The party’s growth stems from its origins as a satirical response to remarks by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, who referred to certain individuals as “cockroaches” and “parasites” during a court hearing. Over time, it evolved into an organized campaign with a clear focus on education reform. The protest’s demands center on accountability, justice, and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. CJP distributed pamphlets at the protest site, highlighting that a petition calling for Pradhan’s resignation had garnered over 8 lakh signatures.#sonam_wangchuk #dharmendra_pradhan #cockroach_janta_party #abhijeet_dipke #vijeta_dahiya
