The base of CAA-NRC-NPR protests remains confined to groups that were already opposed to BJP - Muslims, liberal middle-class, Leftists and dissenting students.
IIT Kanpur sets up a panel to decide if 'Hum Dekhenge' is anti-India. Whether it is Modi, Indira or Zia, the best time for poetry is the worst of times.
For Dalits, Bhima Koregaon wasn't just a battle between British and Peshwas but a reclamation of their prestige following centuries of caste discrimination.
Modi govt's claim that everything – CAA, NRC, Internet shutdowns, police excesses – is a 'domestic' issue and therefore of no concern to the outside world is simply not credible.
The primary ground on which the CAA is being challenged is its ostensible violation and abuse of the ‘right to equality’ enshrined in the Indian Constitution.
CAA protests were not just organic, but a sharp message from India's youth that they won't take Modi government's divisive politics lying down: Shashi Tharoor
If I have to spend my entire life in jail in this fight to save India's Constitution, then I will, writes Bhim Army chief in his exclusive letter to ThePrint.
This is the transcript of Ep 1830 of Cut the Clutter, where Shekhar Gupta explains why strategic petroleum reserves are a national necessity & how India compares with China, US & Japan.
Tracked and wheeled variants, built in collaboration with Tata Advanced Systems and Bharat Forge, carry 30mm turrets, cross water using hydro jets, and are 65% indigenous.
American objectives are unmet. They neither have muscle nor motivation to resume the war. As for Iran, the regime didn’t just survive, it’s now led by more radical individuals.
The author is concerned the masses are naively imagining that it has ended? He feels compelled to caution them against becoming sanguine so early!
Pardon me. I too can’t immediately recall who has been feeding the imagination of the masses about invasions, re-occupations, blood-thirsty retributions, and immediate, iron-handed reprisals.
Mr. Jerry Rao, like most who have similarly graduated from India’s public-funded elite institutions, always behaves as if that one credential gained long time back granted to him for perpetuity…with no further need ever for right effort by him…soaring intellectual and moral superiority, and temporal entitlements, which others cannot question.
Hence, the regular writings from him laden with uncured philosophical concoctions, silly narratives of ostensibly personal ideological struggles, and disjointed historical references; all to eulogize either himself or the fetid regimen which he considers favourable.
This guy was banished to Citibank ME or somewhere because of his irregularities that got uncovered in Citibank’s major scam of 1992. He has made his share of loot in the recent governments of the ruling party through ventures that exploited dubious govt. missions.
He represents the slimy, unctuous crony capitalism which is the mirror image of the hypocritical, self-righteous, “socialist” credo that justified the license raj.
Worse, he does not know to call it a day.
Even at this crucial juncture, is there a grain of honest self-introspection, and sincere analysis in this latest flagellation of us by him?
Note how conveniently he credits all of the little that is imaginably good, even if insubstantial or unsubstantiated, to those in power whom he favours. While implying that the rot which has unabatedly continued even under those very them is despite them, and not because of them.
But, the certainity he will surely be having is that only they can do what must be done. Which is to set straight the rest of us. For which they need more time, and use more force.
