We must condemn any disrespect toward our President, but the incident involving Droupadi Murmu and Mamata Banerjee raises many questions, some of them uncomfortable.
While some Indians were spewing hatred, the government of Dubai got on with the job. The city coped with the crisis magnificently because of the quality of its leadership.
This decision is so damaging to the government that efforts will be made to ensure that it does not stand. The prosecution has said that it will file an appeal in the high court.
The largest number of victims of identity-based abuse in India are Muslims. In this case, the abuse comes from people at the top, and nobody is willing to do anything about it.
In tactical terms, the shirtless protest was worse than a self-goal. Suddenly, the fiascos of the AI Summit were forgotten, and the Youth Congress’s disruption became the issue.
New Delhi is too scared of Trump to lie about stopping the purchase of Russian oil, but too embarrassed to admit it to Indian citizens, so ministers give evasive answers.
From Deen Dayal Upadhyay's mysterious death and Madhavrao Scindia's plane crash to the Gandhi family assassinations, so much of what happens in politics has little to do with calculations and much more to do with fate.
Consider Asha Bhosle and Kishore Kumar’s duet ‘Chhod Do Aanchal’. The sequence was set in a flower garden, and the girl’s bashfulness was not even remotely relatable to a cabaret dancer.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
Forget about the BJP, anyone with half a brain should be scared whenever Rahul Gandhi opens his mouth. To put it extremely politely, he is quite liberal with facts. His agenda seems quite sinister as all evidence points to a scorched earth policy.
In olden days it used to take a child to tell the king that he has no clothes. Today there is no one in congress who can tell Rahul that he is not a leader and cannot pose a serious challenge to his political opponents. After Indira gandhi all great leaders of congress have been sidelined to make way for a dynast whose knowledge of Indian politics and culture has become a jock.
Rahul Gandhi maybe is maturing, but where are the others…India needs more leaders in opposing political spectrum to continue its march…One PM Modi or one Rahul will not do…we need a bunch of great leaders who can take this country forward…but the problem is none of the main political parties are nurturing good leaders, BJP only looks at PM or Amit Shah, Congress only Rahul…….we need alternative ideas, perspectives and opinions to grow..
One matter of concern is the quality of construction of prestigious public projects that is showing up all over the country. Beyond the cliched collapsing bridges of Bihar. It lies at the confluence of governance and economic development. At a time when it is the government that is doing so much of the capital spending for the economy. It also gets reflected in global perceptions of India as a long term investment destination. Merits a comprehensive review and course correction.
Vir sanghvi and his pathetic deductions ” Much of the PM’s power came, not from any official authority, but from the view, held by many people (and most strongly by Modi himself) that he was now a force of nature, even if he was not (as he suggested) entirely “biological”. ” PM Modi clearly stated that he was destined to serve the ppl of INDIA .
As an old saying goes “you can make a Pappu out of RaGa but you can’t make a RaGa out of Pappu.” Attempts by Pidis will be futile. May be Pidis will get a few bones thrown at them in the process.
Normally, i agree with what Vir Sanghvi writes.
But this time I do not agree with what he says about Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi continues to blabber here and there. His comments are just unverified comments, like tea stall chatting at addas. I am sure we have better leaders in the opposition who can speak better. I can speak better than Rahul. He desperately needs public speaking training. He does not speak with facts, but off the cuff. Pls do no patronize him. He is not PM material yet, not even CM material. In fact if BJP ever loses, it would be for its own mistakes and not that Congress/India has anything better to offer the people of this country. Worst, he still moves around in a pair of trousers and Tshirt. Amazing dressing sense for a parliamentarian!!!
The article which you folks wanted to publish for so long. I am sure this was not written recently. It just got customised based on the current situation and published.

Vir Sanghvi has eternal enmity with PM Modi ,so any worthless person willing to shout at PM Modi, is encouraged and referred to as hero.
Vir Sanghvi Write an opinion on RADIA TAPES.

Lackeys in the media are trying hard to make RaGa out of Pappu.
Just wanted to see the author
