Some day, Pakistan may beat India, but the ‘greatest rivalry in the world’ tag is just hype now. No team with Pakistan’s current performance can be world-class. The truth is that Bangladesh has better pacers than Pakistan. The true cricket rivalry is India-Australia and that’s where India’s real test lies.
Conservatism rising across the world. It’s reshaping Western political and social landscape
Conservatism is rising across the world. In Germany, opposition leader Friedrich Merz’s victory signalled shift in politics. Far-right AfD has doubled its vote share, while liberals falter. This growing influence of white and Christian supremacy ideologies marks a concerning transformation, reshaping not just Germany’s but Western political and social landscape.
Russia-Ukraine war enters fourth year. Its uncertain future leaves global geopolitics in flux
As Russia-Ukraine war enters fourth year, there are no clear winners. Lakhs of young Russian men have been killed, maimed with little gain, except for Donbas, most of which it already had. Ukraine’s NATO ambitions remain unfulfilled. Western support is divided. The war’s uncertain future leaves global geopolitics in flux.
The AfD is not white and Christian supremacist. They are just anti-immigration. It is gross to portray them as spiritual descendants of Hitler and his Nazi party. The Western media houses led by the likes of BBC, NYT, CNN and others are indulging in this fear mongering and but in essence it is actually character assassination. The same was done to the RSS and Mr. Narendra Modi here in India. Now that the BJP is in power for over a decade, nobody feels that any rights have been trampled on or that Indian democracy is in danger. Certainly with the exception of Rahul Gandhi and his bunch of lackeys.
The Print must resist this temptation of depicting the European right-wing forces as white and Christian supremacist. Their only objection is to immigration. They do not wish outsiders to move to their nation and settle down there.
Don’t we too want the same in India? Are we willing to take in the Rohingya refugees from Myanmar? Or allow the illegal immigrant from Bangladesh?
If we don’t wish for such illegal immigration why do we expect the Europeans or the Americans to be okay with it? Protesting against illegal immigration is not the same as “white Christian supremacism”.
