The first-ever far-Right Freedom Party’s win in Austria marks a tectonic shift in Europe’s politics. Given its old history, this is sure to send ripples. It comes after the recent rise of the Right-wing parties in Germany. Immigration is a lightning rod across the continent. Politics of fear is thriving.
Israel has set aside domestic politics. It is united for the war
Netanyahu’s friend-turned-foe Gideon Sa’ar is now in his security cabinet, like other opponents. Ex-PM Naftali Bennett has worn the uniform and joined the soldiers.

If India bosses world cricket, Green Park’s failure to ready outfield a national shame
If India bosses world cricket and BCCI is its almighty engine, Green Park’s failure to ready outfield on a non-rainy day is a national shame. Leaky covers, paucity of modern sport’s drainage and drying aids show BCCI erred in giving a game to Kanpur. It isn’t Test-ready and deserves blacklisting.
The Print seems to have become a part of the Left-liberal gang. Else, how can one justify terming the Austrian conservatives as far-Right thugs and hooligans?

This is ridiculous. One expects much better standards from Shekhar Gupta’s “unhyphenated journalism”.
Not politics of fear but politics of common sense. Everything needs a balance. Excessive pampering of one kind will ultimately lead to a reaction from the other kind.
A group of people wishing to preserve their culture, heritage and society from illegal immigrants is not something to be criticized. It is something to be supported and admired.
Labelling someone as far-Right or a Nazi or a Hitler is gross.
Why should it be a crime to seek to preserve and promote your own culture, language and religion in your own country?
