Which Caste Does Nitin Nabin Belong To? Know the Population of This Community in Bihar

Patna (Bihar):BJP’s newly appointed national president Nitin Nabin has recently come into the national spotlight, prompting widespread public curiosity about his background, education, family life, and social identity. Due to the “Sinha” title in his name, many people mistakenly assume that he belongs to the Rajput (Singh) community. However, contrary to this common belief, Nitin Nabin actually hails from the Kayastha caste, a traditionally influential community in Bihar. According to Bihar’s recent caste survey, the Kayastha community constitutes only about 0.6 percent of the state’s total population. Despite its relatively small чис strength, the community has historically played a prominent role in the intellectual, administrative, and political life of the state. Nitin Nabin’s rise ...

“Who Will Decide If I Am a Shankaracharya — the President?” Swami Avimukteshwaranand Hits Back at Magh Mela Notice

Prayagraj: Jyotish Peeth Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati has strongly reacted to a notice issued by the Magh Mela administration questioning his use of the title “Shankaracharya.” Calling the move unjustified and beyond administrative authority, he asserted that only Shankaracharyas themselves can determine who holds the title — not the state government, not the Chief Minister, and not even the President of India. Speaking to the media, Swami Avimukteshwaranand said, “When the Shankaracharyas of Dwarka and Sringeri themselves acknowledge me as a Shankaracharya and have taken the holy dip with me, what more proof is needed? Will the administration decide whether I am a Shankaracharya? Will the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister decide? Or will the President of India? Even the...
