A Sikh Captain America? Why religious diversity matters in the comics universe.

Representation of non-Abrahamic religions and spiritual traditions, particularly in the mainstream comics universe, is minimal. Even when they are portrayed in comics, their presentation, as Singh and others in the field point out, is often inauthentic and sometimes negative. Recently, however, comic book writers and academics who study the intersection of religion and comics observe a renaissance of sorts, which they say is happening because people close to these faith traditions are telling these stories with a reverence and sincerity that resonate with a wider audience. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Singh's journey to make that connection began after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, triggered anti-Sikh hate incidents. Having faced hate and exclusion throughout his life, he decided to spread his message of kindness and inclusion by capitalizing on the appeal of comics and superheroes — an area where he found Sikh representation to be 'virtually zero.' Advertisement He suited up as Captain Sikh America in Manhattan for the first time in summer 2013 — one year after a self-proclaimed white supremacist opened fire inside a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, killing six and injuring four others. Advertisement New York's reaction to Captain Sikh America was joyous. 'Strangers came up and hugged me,' Singh said. 'Police officers wanted photos with me. A couple wanted me to be part of their wedding ceremony. I felt I had a certain privilege I'd never had before.' In 2016, Singh gave up his full-time job to travel around the country to schools, government agencies and corporations to share his story and educate youth about his culture and faith. He doesn't speak directly about religion but rather the core values of Sikhism. 'I talk about equality, justice and about the universal light being present in every speck of creation,' he said. Marvel's Black Panther heralded better representation for Africana religions in the U.S., according to Yvonne Chireau, a professor of religion at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. However what is seen in Black Panther or other comics is a synthesis of different African religions and cultural practices, she said. For example, one page might talk about the Orishas, divine spirits that play a key role in the Yoruba faith of West Africa, while another might feature Egyptian gods. One of the first superheroes with African religious roots, Chireau said, was Brother Voodoo, created in the 1970s by Marvel publisher Stan Lee, writer Len Wein and artist John Romita. He was the first Haitian superhero. The turn of the last century was a time of revival for Black-centric comics, she said, adding that immigration from African and Caribbean countries, including Haiti, led to increased understanding of religious practices originating in those places. 'It's definitely gotten a lot better and much more authentic because the people who are telling these stories care about those religious practices,' she said. Advertisement Brooklyn-born Haitian American comic book writer Greg Anderson Elysée said he didn't learn about African and Caribbean religious traditions until he was a teenager. Elysée was raised Catholic, but he now considers himself agnostic. For the past decade, he's written comics about Is'nana, the son of Anansi the Spider, the god of wisdom, knowledge and mischief in the Akan religion of West Africa. What drives his vision and his creativity, Elysée said, is the need to see more Black mythology, deities and spirituality showcased with the same level of respect as European fairy tales and Greek mythology. 'When I went looking for anything on African spirituality in the bookstore, I found it in the occult section as opposed to the religion or mythology section,' he said. Common depictions of African faith as voodoo and witchcraft are colonialist narratives aimed at demonizing Indigenous spiritual practices, he added. 'When I started going to ceremonies and rituals, I saw how much power there is in it. When we know who we are — whether you believe in the religion or not — it fills you with joy, a purpose and a sense of being.' Elysée is excited and relieved by the reaction to his work. 'While this is entertainment, you also don't want to offend those who believe in it and truly get so much power from it,' he said. 'Some of my portrayals of these religions in my comics may not be 100% authentic, but there is a level of research and respect that goes into every piece of it.' Zen Buddhism has informed much of John Porcellino's work. For over three decades, he has produced and self-published King-Cat Comics and Stories, a largely autobiographical mini-comic series. Porcellino was drawn to Buddhism in his 20s after what he describes as a period of intense mental suffering and health problems. Advertisement As a punk rock fan, Porcellino saw commonalities between punk and Zen because 'they are both concerned with the essence of things rather than appearances.' Both are ways of life — simple yet nuanced. He gave the example of a wordless story titled 'October,' featured in King-Cat's 30th issue, that shows him as a high school student walking home one night from school. When he gets home, his mom asks him to take the dog outside; as he steps out, he sees the stars. 'It's the experience of being in everyday, mundane life ... and then suddenly breaking through to some kind of transcendence,' he said. Porcellino views these comics as a healing presence in his life. 'They are an important part of my spiritual practice,' he said. 'Any time I have a major crisis in my life, my first reaction is to sit down and start making comics and put my focus into that. It just helps ground me.' Teresa Robeson, who wrote a graphic novel about the 14th Dalai Lama, said that even though her mother was Catholic and raised her in the faith, her grandmother was Buddhist. She grew up in Hong Kong, with memories of relatives praying to Buddhist gods, taking in the fragrance of burning incense and the sound of Buddhist chants. Though she practices neither Catholicism nor Buddhism at this time, Robeson jumped at the opportunity to tell the story of the Dalai Lama in graphic novel form because the book focused on a pivotal moment in the spiritual leader's life, when he fled Tibet for India after the Chinese occupation. Advertisement Robeson liked the idea of representing a religion and culture that do not get much attention in media. 'Children's books are like mirrors and windows for kids,' she said. 'It's helpful especially for children of immigrants who don't often see themselves in mainstream literature. They don't see anyone who looks like them or prays like them. At the same time, it also helps kids who are not Asian or Buddhist to learn something about those communities.' Amar Chitra Katha was a comic book company started by the late Anant Pai in Mumbai in 1967 as a way to teach Indian children about their own mythology and culture. The first title was 'Krishna,' an important god in Hinduism and protagonist of the Bhagavad Gita, one of the religion's main sacred texts. Pai was an engineer turned comic books seller who used varied marketing techniques, including walking around with planks, nails and hammers in his bag so he could build shelves for bookstores that refused to display his comics because they lacked shelf space, said Reena I. Puri, the company's executive editor and a 35-year veteran of the business. Pai started with Hindu mythology and gods but soon expanded to other faiths, releasing a globally successful comic titled 'Jesus Christ' and others about Buddha, Sikh gurus and Mahavira, who founded Jainism. Later came secular comics about historical figures and folktales. But religion remains the mainstay of Amar Chitra Katha, and books that teach children about faith, history and culture are also the most popular in the diaspora, Puri said. Advertisement 'Most recently we've also portrayed (Indigenous) religions and have gathered folktales relating to these traditions from all over India,' she said. Amar Chitra Katha comics faced criticism in the past for their portrayal of gods as fair-skinned and 'asuras' — often the antagonists to the gods — as dark-skinned with demonic facial features. But that has changed, Puri said. 'We've educated ourselves and realized that our ancient texts were not as racist or colorist as we may be today,' she said. 'We're correcting those misconceptions now.' British comic book writer Mike Carey is known for his 2000-2006 DC Comics series 'Lucifer,' which depicts the titular character's adventures on Earth, in Heaven and in various realms after abandoning Hell. Carey counts himself an atheist who went to Sunday school only 'for the fun, stories and chocolate.' Carey portrayed Lucifer as the 'son of God, but as a rebellious disobedient son who wants to find himself as distinct from his father.' He has also explored pagan themes, particularly what he called the 'weird interface between British folklore and British religious traditions.' Carey delved into the concepts of faith, God and morality in a series titled 'My Faith in Frankie,' which tells the story of a teenager with a personal god called Jeriven who gets jealous of her boyfriend. Even though many of his comics and novels explore religion and ethics, Carey said, he has never 'felt any temptation whatsoever to believe.' 'I've become more and more entrenched in that position, because organized religions are like any organization that sustain themselves, amass power, wealth and authority,' he said. 'So I've never really grappled with religious issues. What I do sometimes is explore, play with and tease out moral issues that were important and meaningful to me.' ___

What Is IPTV Service? Everything You Need to Know in 2025

In today's rapidly evolving virtual world, traditional TV viewing is transforming. One of the key technologies using this variation is IPTV or Internet Protocol Television. If you've been curious about what IPTV is, how it works, and why it's gaining so much traction in 2025, you've come to the right place. This comprehensive manual will break down everything you need to know about Iptv service, from its basics to its future trends. IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television. Unlike conventional cable or satellite TV, which delivers content via radio waves or satellites, IPTV provides television programming through Internet Protocol (IP) networks. Positioned, IPTV utilizes your broadband internet connection to stream live TV channels, on-demand films, and various multimedia content directly to your device. At its core, IPTV works by converting video content into data packets and sending these packets through an IP network, typically your home internet. Here's a simplified breakdown: Content Acquisition: TV indicates that movies, TV shows, and other content are accumulated from numerous assets, such as studios, broadcasters, or live events. Encoding and Compression: This content material is compressed into virtual formats (which include MPEG or H.264) to lessen size without dropping quality. Content Delivery: The virtual streams are dispatched through IP networks using protocols such as HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) or Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP). User Access: You receive this movement for your device through an IPTV app, a smart TV, or an IPTV set-top box. Playback: The video player for your device decodes the move and performs it efficiently. The key distinction is that IPTV allows you to watch live TV or video-on-demand via internet streaming instead of traditional broadcast methods. In 2025, IPTV services come in various forms tailored to different needs: Live IPTV: Streaming of live TV channels in real-time, similar to traditional broadcast but delivered over the internet. Video on Demand (VOD): Access to movies and shows whenever you want, like Netflix or Hulu. Time-Shifted TV: Allows viewers to pause, rewind, or watch live TV after it has aired. Catch-Up TV: Allows users to watch shows that aired earlier, typically within a specified time window. Many IPTV providers offer a combination of these options, providing users with a comprehensive entertainment package. IPTV has skyrocketed in popularity recently for several reasons: With IPTV, viewers aren't restricted by broadcast schedules. You can watch what you want, when you want, on any device—be it a smartphone, tablet, smart TV, or computer. IPTV services often provide access to thousands of live channels worldwide, as well as an extensive library of on-demand content. This variety surpasses what traditional cable packages offer, especially for niche or international channels. Since IPTV operates over existing internet infrastructure, it often costs less than traditional cable or satellite subscriptions. Many providers offer affordable plans or even free content funded by ads or freemium models. Thanks to faster broadband speeds and improved compression technologies, IPTV streams in high definition (HD), 4K, or even 8K resolution, delivering crystal-clear pictures and sound. One of IPTV's most significant advantages is device versatility. You can enjoy IPTV on: Smart TVs: Many smart TVs come with built-in IPTV apps or support third-party apps. Streaming Devices: Devices like Amazon Fire Stick, Roku, Apple TV, or Google Chromecast can run IPTV apps. Computers and Laptops: Using dedicated software or web browsers. Smartphones and Tablets: Most IPTV providers offer mobile apps compatible with iOS and Android devices. Set-Top Boxes: Some users prefer IPTV set-top boxes, which connect to your TV and provide a dedicated IPTV interface. While IPTV technology itself is legal and widely used by major broadcasters and telecommunications companies, the legal status of the content being streamed depends on the specific content being streamed. Licensed IPTV services that distribute authorized content are entirely legitimate. However, some IPTV services offer unauthorized access to copyrighted material at a lower cost or for free, which is illegal and could lead to penalties. It's crucial to use reputable IPTV providers to avoid legal troubles and ensure a safe, high-quality viewing experience. Choosing an IPTV service can be overwhelming, given the numerous options available. Here are key factors to consider: Content Selection: Check if the service offers your favorite channels, movies, and shows. Streaming Quality: Look for providers that support HD or 4K streaming with minimal buffering. Device Compatibility: Ensure the service is compatible with your preferred devices. User Interface: A clean and easy-to-navigate interface enhances your viewing experience. Customer Support: Reliable customer service can help resolve any issues quickly. Subscription Plans: Compare pricing models and any available free trial offers before committing. Reviews and Reputation: Read user reviews and expert opinions to ensure credibility. As we move further into 2025, IPTV technology is poised to become even more sophisticated. Here are some trends to watch: Artificial intelligence will play a bigger role in tailoring content recommendations based on your viewing habits, making it easier to discover new favorites. IPTV platforms will incorporate more interactive features, such as real-time polls, shopping through TV, and social media integration, turning passive viewers into active participants. Cloud-based DVR options allow users to record and store shows online, making them accessible anytime from any device. With 5G becoming widespread, IPTV streaming will be faster and more reliable, even on mobile devices. Edge computing will reduce latency, thereby improving the quality of live streaming. IPTV providers will expand international content offerings, catering to global audiences with diverse tastes and languages. The answer is a resounding yes. IPTV is revolutionizing how we consume television by combining the power of the internet with multimedia entertainment. Its flexibility, affordability, and superior quality make it an attractive alternative to traditional TV services. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Mindy Kaling reveals why she took a step back from acting

Mindy Kaling stepped away from acting for a bit, but now, she's ready to run point on screen. The 45-year-old starred as Kelly Kapoor in the NBC sitcom 'The Office' for eight seasons from 2005 to 2013. From there, Kaling garnered a slew of iconic roles including her own show 'The Mindy Project' which aired a six season run from 2012 to 2017. After starting her own production company called Kaling International in 2012, she spearheaded the comedy 'Never Have I Ever' which was a Netflix hit for four seasons before ending in 2023. Advertisement 7 Mindy Kaling poses on Instagram. Instagram Now, the 'Inside Out' vet is explaining why she stepped back from the screen. 'A show literally about an Indian American family in Southern California, and if I wasn't on that—what's wrong with me?' Kaling told The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday. 'I think there is a part of me that feels a little superstitious. I'm like, 'these seem to have gone well and I'm not in them so maybe I'll wait.' ' Advertisement These days, the actress is ready to get back in front of the camera. 7 Mindy Kaling's Netflix series, 'Never Have I Ever.' ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection 'I miss it,' admitted Kaling. 'I would like to write or co-create a show for me to act in soon.' Although the 'Late Night' alum didn't elaborate on what kind of project she sees herself in, she did note she'd love to act and direct it. Advertisement As Kaling put it, doing both is 'unbelievably fun and it's so efficient.' The last time she did so was on 'The Mindy Project.' 7 Mindy Kaling in 'Late Night.' ©Amazon/Courtesy Everett Collection / Everett Collection 'I would love to do that again,' she went on. 'That's the thing that maybe in the next couple of years, when I launch a couple of other things that are earlier in the pipeline, that would be something that would be fun to do again.' Kaling's latest co-creation was the Netflix sports comedy 'Running Point' – which debuted in February and starred Kate Hudson, Brenda Song, Chet Hanks, Max Greenfield, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur and Justin Theroux.

'Here's my thing. I have worked on many different platforms and it's not just about the money, but more often than not, the money represents real enthusiasm,' she shared. 'Sometimes it doesn't; sometimes I've done stuff for less money because the people seem so excited, like on the Zoom after the pitch.' 'The problem is that people are switching their jobs quickly that for me, I don't think there's been an instance where the person I sold a show, to that team has stayed intact for two years. Executives are moving constantly up and so to me, I never get too married to a creative team.' 7 'Inside Out' starring: Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, Bill Hader as Fear Mindy Kaling as Disgust and Amy Poheler as Joy. ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection When it came to working with Kaling on 'Running Point,' the show's star had nothing but praise for the mom-of-two.

And she's just not only so brilliant, but so trusting … she puts the best team together.' Advertisement 'And she was pregnant,' the singer expressed. 'We had a script, like our first table read. She's on Zoom. She then has the baby and is sending notes, like an hour after she has the baby. I was like, 'Isn't Mindy literally in labor?' She is a powerhouse and delivers what she says she's going to deliver.' 7 Kate Hudson and Mindy Kaling. mindykaling/Instagram 7 Mindy Kaling announced her desire to get back to acting.
