Who was Adolf Hitler?
The dictator of Germany. The perpetrator of harsh Nazi practices. Sadistic. Cruel. Evil.
The closest he comes to being known as a positive character is as the author of Mein Kampf.
Well, the Hitler we know is largely what the United States would like us to believe.
Here is what we never knew:
Adolf Hitler strengthened the economy and put...

Intimate Partner Violence is a very real and very current problem that is plaguing the society, however, it seems that not many people have knowledge about it.

Breakfast Babble: ED’s own little space on the inter-webs where we gather to discuss ideas and get pumped up for the day. We judge things too. Sometimes. Always. Whatever, call it catharsis and join in people.
Terrorism is an unnecessary evil haunting the mankind today. Keeping aside the relevant issue of growth of ISIS which results in senseless and radical killing,...
On 26th June 1975, when Indira Gandhi announced on All India Radio (AIR), to the general public, the proclamation of Emergency on the grounds of internal disturbance, little did she knew that even after 42 years her decision would be deeply condoned and she would be termed as authoritative and an unsuccessful Prime Minister.
The period of Emergency has been...
Fake Friendly Fridays is a section where we invite the current entertainment source of the country for a no-holds-barred interview with ED Times. We make sure they remember this interview, even though they never gave it as this is purely an imaginative piece. (Oh, how we wish this wasn’t!)
Still didn't get it? Well, yeah, this interview is fake. I...
We all love sparkling makeup: women love to wear it and men love to see it on women. However, all that sparkle comes at the cost of illegal child labourers employed (?) in unethical mica mining.
Sixty (60) percent of the world's mica comes from India where it is illegally mined by children in the states of Jharkhand and Bihar....
These days it seems as if even the slightest bit of contention or problem can result in a full out riot.
However, the residents of Premnagar Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh have shown that not everything needs to be made into a, us against them, kind of thing.
The issue at hand here was the loudspeakers of 7 mosques that were being...
Travelling is anyway not an easy task however pleasurable it might be. And it is definitely not as easy as movies and TV shows make it out to be.
Do you know how much planning and work goes into taking even a 3-day trip?
It is definitely not as easy as a pie as many just packing your bags and booking...
Gone are those days when purchasing a two-wheeler insurance policy meant approaching the insurance agent and then buying the policy suggested to you even if it did not have all those features which you were looking for.
It is the internet era where you can buy an insurance policy for your two-wheeler with a few mouse clicks. Buying two-wheeler insurance...
The age old debate: do you have to move out as soon as you reach an age it is acceptable to do so, or is it okay to stay in the family home? Both styles of living have their pros and their cons.
A few of each can be found below.

QuoraED is an ED content original where we pick up a trending topic from Quora and spin a story around it. The stories written by the general public are easier to relate back to them.
*drumrolls*
Scots are good at taking a joke - everyone knows that. And maybe this is what Gordon Ramsay expects of people.
He does not belong to...
ED brings you a brand new ED Original Series: When Even Winners Faced Defeat, where you get a lesser known narrative of inspirational people and the setbacks that came along their path.
So the next time you think that subject you didn’t get good marks in, or that person who didn’t like your picture on Facebook, and want to give up...
The Many Worlds interpretation and the Butterfly Effect proves the fact that there are simultaneous worlds out there which have been created out of a choice of ours and that we have the power to alter our present by going back to the past.
To take a very simple example, all of us had a choice to choose between commerce...
Stand-up comedians with quality content and a dynamic stage presence are rare.
And with comedy being a heated topic in India (albeit ironically), it's almost like a shot in the dark from a blind horse's back when you expect to find brilliant stand-up comedians in our country.
But hey, our job is to find the diamonds in the rough for you...
India has had a truckload of global icons in the past few years, be it the stars originating from here and making it in big in Hollywood or the ones who carry an Indian heritage regardless of being born and brought up in the West.
We've had various actors and actresses who have represented our country in the West and...
Ever since the fateful years of the 1940s, when religious, ideological and political differences split India into two tumultuous halves, the subcontinent has not known lasting peace. These two halves have warred over and over again as Pakistan and India have been at each other's throats.
And now, the warfare has shifted from the physical type to the mental type....
You’ve seen the numerous fairness ads on TV. Countless times, in fact. So much so that the inherent racism hidden behind the repetitive nonsense doesn’t phase us anymore; because we’ve grown up with these advertisements.
And when we are exposed to a certain kind of behaviour for a long enough time, it becomes an ordinary everyday part of our life....
You might have read the name 'Justice Karnan' in newspapers more often than you realise. If you aren't an avid reader, you definitely heard someone talk about him, especially after his arrest yesterday.
Here's an ED special Demystifier around the 'Justice Karnan Saga' and what the entire hullabaloo is about.
Who Is C. S. Karnan?

Sorry is one word but it has the power to end even a war.
Alright, not to get too poetic or philosophical about it, but the word ‘sorry’ is very powerful in that it shows in one word, how bad one feels about their actions and that
Apparently, certain people have figured out exactly how influential and powerful this word can...
Menstruation is an extremely touchy subject in India and the question of menstrual waste disposal and hygiene is hardly ever discussed. All of us (yes, even us women) seem to think it is a topic best kept hidden because, hey 'the red in sindoor is sanskaari but not the red in menstrual blood'.
The magnitude of the problem:
The majority of...
For a long time, I heard my friends talk about Diggin. After so much build up, I really had very high expectations from this place. Sadly, it didn't live up to my expectations.
Let's analyse the good and the bad in this article or as we like to call them: the Woohs and the Mehs.
Before that, for those of you...
The current transfer window is going to be a blockbuster. With Greizmann signing a contract at Athletico Madrid, it has resulted in a domino effect which is bound to upset the transfer plans of many clubs. This is possibly going to be a blockbuster transfer window if the valuations are anything to go by.
