One visitor to Ayodhya has moved from his native Tamil Nadu to Uttar Pradesh. Not because of the lifestyle, weather, or job opportunities; he says it’s a better place for Hindus.
The key difference between BJP & Congress governments is that ideology guided Congress's policies, never governed them, while BJP's commitment to ideology is almost fundamentalist.
From newspapers to lit fests, the space for the Right-wing intellectual is growing by the day, a far cry from the 1990s, when this school of thought was almost anathema in such circles.
All India Imam Organisation's Chief Imam, Dr Umer Ahmed Ilyasi, says he has received threats, but stands by his opinion that humanity and country are above religion.
In 2020, a 5-acre plot was assigned in Ayodhya's Dhannipur for the construction of a mosque as the Ram Janmabhoomi site was given to Hindus after a decades-long legal battle.
For 22 January, five journalists of ThePrint were in Ayodhya, several days in advance. If this was the first draft of history in the making, we wanted to be sure we wrote it.
The young priests, selected from among 3,000 applicants, are being trained in worship of Ram according to Ramananda Paddhati manual. 10 set to be deployed at Ram Temple in next 2-3 days.
After the clashes on the day of Ram Lalla consecration, sparked by an alleged attack on a procession, tensions have been fuelled further by a demolition drive & stonepelting attacks.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
Thought provoking. I’m a Hindu and a Ram bhakt. Just read Ayodhya the dark night. This tussle between liberals and conservatives has historic and pre historic linkages. Possibly it happened in the indus sAraswati civilization period between them and Indo European speakers. Evidence suggest that the former were not martial, but more we will learn a s more is unearthed. Second in the historical period this must have happened between the Brahmin clergy and Buddhists – the latter ruled that soul of India for 800 years and eventually Buddhist institutions decayed (possibly because of centuries of royal patronage cut them off from lay people – ironic!) and in 8/9 century Adi Shankarcharya led to the resurgence of conservative Brahmanism. I think some of the modern Hindu angst is that that victory was short lived because of Muslim invasions and decimation of esp the North Indian aristocracy and priestly classes. Hence our kshatriya’s had to abandon our North Indian fertile gangetic to rule in the deserts of Rajasthan, forests of central india and the Himalayas. Can’t blame them. Finally in the modern era we have the infighting between liberals/seculars led by Nehru and the conservatives led by Patel. I don’t think it matters who will win this round! Urge people to learn more because the more you learn the less u know! Credit to UB40.
The author thinks of herself as an expert in several fields but writes an article that is full of inaccuracies and intends to show Hindus who believe in their faith and their religion as in poor light.
A biased article presenting a myopic view of new India and the Hindu. All religions have their fair share of magic…8ft tall people to Jonah who was swallowing by a fish and vomited alive after 3 days. It’s narrow minded thinking which selectively singles out others religions for ridicule. Ram mandir in Ayodhya has been built after one of the most intense and thorough legal scrutiny by the supreme court of India. Instead of hi-lighting how the temple has galvanised India and people of Indian origin across the globe, it chooses to trivialise the landmark moment.
Vandana should change her Hindu name to either Valentina or Vaheeda before defaming Hindus. Her sanatani name itself is a balm to hide her true anti-hindu identity.

Useless article by a self pitying author.must have been paid by number of words.Not worth wasting time on it.
The self-pitying author has a litany of woes—nobody is interested in her articles
