Removal of the Congress president from Jallianwala Bagh trust is part of a larger trend of the ruling party’s attempts to distort history and mythicise lies.
Communities, which have been left relatively powerless while state and markets have expanded, can lead to mass resentment and rage, writes economist Raghuram Rajan.
While 5G tech will benefit network carriers to keep costs down and prices high, it'll be years before its full potential is realised -- by businesses & industries.
A noticeable effect of smoking is premature aging. Studies indicate that the skin biopsy of a 40-year-old heavy smoker can resemble that of a 70-year-old non-smoker.

How come Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey and Sri Lanka remain constitutional, democratic and stable despite Islam and Buddhism respectively, but Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar don’t?
Mr Tharoor, your opinion above mentions that in April 1950, Dr BR Ambedkar moves the bill in Lok Sabha and the Jalliawala trust was converted into National Statutory trust. Therefore, ex-officio trustee should be President of the ruling party, it can be BJP, Congress or any other party in power during that time. The Congress Party’s contribution to freedom struggle have been sufficiently rewarded with 49 years of rule. Change is the essence of life and in this context, an amendment in the Parent act is required.
I understand difficult for Congress politician to comprehend, still entangled in monarchical system of their own making.
Why only the president of a Trust, Shashi? Let’s make your boss the president for life of India! And why stop only for this Janam, shashi> Let’s make your employer the Emperor of India for eternity.

I like the phrase “mind-boggling pettiness” that is ascribed to Modi government in this article. Well, if the leader of this government, Mr Modi himself could be described by any other epithet, his government on which he has a vice-like tight control couldn’t have won such a non-complimentary label.
The aptness of this phrase has been demonstrated time and again in the past five years — in Modi government’s interference with Delhi government, for example; selection of FTII chairman, etc. The present Jalianwala Bagh case only once again demonstrates Mr Modi’s hatred for the Congress and his desperate wish to erase its name from the books of history. Mr Modi had come to power at the centre for the first time, and he has liked the power so much that he is willing to go to any length to ensure his stay there, as the recent incidents of Pulwama and its aftermath have indicated. And if his wish is fulfilled in the coming elections, tinkering and even rewriting of some chapters of history is a certainty. Let’s hope that does not happen!
Entitlement!!! That is the problem!! The Congress believes that only a Gandhi, irrespective whether he is qualified, irrespective whether he or she can speak a sentence in any language without someone prompting and irrespective whether they truelly be Indian, can be the president of the party. And that now extends to all institutions of this country.
The Congress stopped being the Congress which had played a significant role along with others like Subhash Chandra Bose in the freedom movement when MK Gandhi overruled the election which actually put forward Sardar Patel to be the first Prime Minister. Instead MK Gandhi nomimated Nehru over Sardar Patel. That was the end of the old congress.
Now the congress is nothing but of the Gandhi’s, by the Gandhis and for the Gandhis. Essentially a Family Mafia and why should we hand over our national institions to this Family mafia.
Mr Tharror is increasingly becoming the High Priest of Evangelical Toadism.
‘Eminent historians’ from communist stable peddled whitewashed and falsified history according to Mr Arun Shourie. Jallainwala bagh trust is past its expiry date for politicians, stop flogging the dead horse for political gains.
The other word for ‘intellectual’ in India is communist buffoon.

Poor fellow is really trying very hard to somehow get into Raga’s notice for a plum post. But, every single thing has failed.
