India is gradually moving toward a model where development is not simply delivered to women, but is rather designed and driven by them. Indian women are innovators and community leaders.
As the legal debate continues over the Aravalli hills, emerging archaeological evidence from the Delhi-Faridabad region offers a powerful reminder of what truly is at stake.
The ruling party at the Centre has to keep quiet about Nagaland’s thoughts on Vande Mataram if it wants to enjoy power in the state that will go to polls in early 2028.
In the romcoms of the 2000s, the central tension was whether someone would fall in love. In the 2020s, the tension often feels like whether the systems we depend on will remain stable.
The kids these days reject TMI. Welcome to emotional minimalism: Share less, reveal slowly, and only when the relationship can withstand public scrutiny.
Central to China's growth model was the property sector — housing construction, land sales, and real estate investment. The consequences of that dependency are now becoming evident.
After dominating India’s crude imports since 2023, Russian supplies slowed amid US sanctions, but a 30-day ‘waiver’ amid West Asia tensions could now push flows back towards 2 mbpd.
Trump has ushered in the age of humiliation. His method is to push around America’s friends rudely and publicly. He knows none of them can afford to fight back.
Have been an avid reader of The Print and respected DK’s balanced analysis of politics.
However, this article has changed that for good.
DK is quite obviously sympathetic to Mamata Banerjee and TMC. The hooliganism and vandalism unleashed by TMC cadres is a regular feature of West Bengal politics. Hundreds of Congress and BJP workers have been murdered, lynched and raped by these criminals after the general elections – both in 2019 as well as 2024. Instead of sympathising with the victims of such egregious political violence, DK chooses to paint this fact as mere fantasy or hogwash by the BJP. It clearly indicates that DK believes that political violence is something that is conjured up by the Congress/BJP after every election in Bengal and that the TMC cadres have nothing to do with it. Also, the murders and rapes are just lies spread by Congress/BJP IT cells.
Add to it the absolutely disgusting editorial equating the RG Kar incident with Ram Rahim’s parole and specious arguments by the editor accusing the BJP of ‘hypocrisy’thereby exculpating TMC/Mamata of any wrongdoing and the picture becomes quite clear.
The Print needs to introspect if this is what is referred to as ‘unhyphenated journalism’.
The Print is showing it’s true colours. Under the garb of “unhyphenated journalism”, it is defending the indefensible. Only so because West Bengal is an Opposition ruled state. Had it been a BJP ruled state, the stance would have been markedly different.
Also, one cannot really forget the utterly distasteful editorial equating this horrific incident with Baba Ram Rahim’s parole, effectively downplaying the severity of the crime.
DK used to provide balanced analysis. Here, he comes across as a true Shekhar Gupta protege – biased, partisan, spineless.
DK’s attempt at dragging the BJP into this issue seems to have fallen flat. The arguments presented are specious. However, The Print’s earlier editorial linking the Kolkata horror with Ram Rahim’s parole gave us readers a vital clue regarding how the incident in Kolkata is being interpreted/viewed at The Print.
That editorial put the blame on the BJP and accused it of politicising the issue.
Mr. Shekhar Gupta’s soft corner for the TMC and it’s brand of politics is well known. The Print’s coverage of Bengal over the last year clearly shows that he and his team of reporters are ardent admirers of Ms. Mamata Banerjee and her government.
The Print also tried to defend the indefensible acts of the Mamata administration. For example, Mr. Gupta published an editorial equating the Kolkata tragedy with the parole of Mr. Ram Rahim and blamed the BJP for being “hypocritical” and “politicising” the Kolkata issue. That editorial was egregious to say the least and would be remembered by us readers as a black mark on The Print’s editorial values and integrity.
So much for his oft-quoted “unhyphenated journalism”.
Even in this article, one can sense Mr. Singh’s sympathy for Ms. Mamata Banerjee and his discomfort at her being hauled over the coals for being in cahoots with all kinds of shady characters.
The unfortunate reality of today’s Bengal is that the TMC is deeply involved in every illegal and corrupt practice in the state and draws it’s power from the criminal and anti-social elements of Bengal society.
CMs run tight ships. State police and intelligence reporting to them. When the complete facts were placed before her, she should have visualised what lay ahead. That such powerful forces are constantly arrayed against her part of the decision making matrix. She should have ordered a professional investigation and prosecution. We can only speculate why she sought to protect, cover up. A grievous error of political judgment.
