The massive success of the IPL is a watershed moment in Indian sports. It proved that sports could be an incredibly profitable commercial venture. The glamour, the glitz, and the spectacle of it didn’t go unnoticed.
New CPI series will take 2024 as base year, will provide more accurate measure of inflation, spending on digital services. Expected to enhance representation and reliability, says Saurabh Garg.
The agreement, signed after meeting between Rajnath and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on sidelines of ADMM-Plus in Kuala Lumpur, aims to deepen bilateral ties in the critical sector.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
It’s essential to remember that two years ago the Indian army honoured one of its officers for torturing a Kashmiri shawl weaver. The torturer was given a medal of commendation.
So called rational Hindus like Rajiv Singh here in comments saying re education like China is the only solution, in other words deprive Kashmiris from their faith- Islam ( this is most imperative to be done to radical Hindus or RSS like modi and group to let India live in peace). He stirred up all this because he’s stealing tax payers money, Check ur GDP bro.
And obviously modi and gang is seeking to steal more money from foreign investors and also simultaneously please his hindutva fanatics, killing two birds with one stone
This is disgraceful the BBC accounts of the great Indian army visiting villages and rounding up civilians and giving them a beating.
These are not isolated incidents according to the BBC investigation, but since the lockdown these beatings have happened in dozens of places. In rural Kashmir over a wide area.
Who has authorised this, where has the orders come from, what units are involved?
Panag as a former Army commander could you please explain to your readers, the chain of command of responsibility, for actions like this,
Are more atrocities likely ? Who in the army has ordered this unlawful action? Where was it planned?
How is this justified, is the army chief aware of this?
Best thing Modi has done for the Kashmiri
He has separated the wheat from the chaff. Now it’s black and white.
This Indian army has not fought a war against Islam, the Americans, Russians and Syrians have to their cost.
The 8.5 million Kashmiri is willing to give his life in a just war (Jihad).
This is not going to be a localised insurgency around the Pir Panjal.
There is a danger of this conflict spreading .
Emotional appeal and all are superficial.I have no doubt that things will become normal gradually.The most problamatic section is going to be the educated elite and the feudal gentry ,the Pak sympathisers and who believe in 2 nation theory.Should BJP govts. in center and states follow aggressive RSS agenda then it can increase alienation and normalisation will become more difficult.Majority of ppl in the state must have faith in secular crefentials of the rulers in center and Modiji in particular as they trusted Nehru to join India inspite of being a muslim majority state.Further,Modi govt. must lay out time bound plan for gradual phasing out of Army and security forces from civilian areas to deploy at the borders.Modi is a doer and I am optimistic.I personally feel with a Cong govt. at center it stands better chance.
What a joke of this article is. India should follow Xinjiang kind policy of China. De-islamisation of the valley is only option that through re-education.
Very good suggestions. I doubt emotional appeals will do much to win hearts and minds in the short run but they can help mould how the rest of the nation looks at Kashmir. It should indeed be top priority to implement some informal affirmative action for the youth from Kashmir in jobs all over the country. If possible they should quickly try to scale up health services especially for children, the psychological impact of violence is probably the highest on kids and we should put all efforts to end the cycle of pointless violence. Of course there will be people like commenter Dost Mohammed Khan below who will always be waiting for their blood thirsty jihadis to succeed, we can’t let the existence of such vicious and hateful people tar all Kashmiris and prevent their progress.
Cycle of violence will go, when we follow
Chinese Xinjiang policy of re-education in valley.
BJP government has claimed article 370 has deoperationalised in national and in the interest of people of Kashmir and not for political reasons. If it is true, let the government should come forward to form a national government with representative from all parties. This would help to build confidence of Kashmiris that India stands for them and send a right message to international communities.
Hahaha, you don’t do such silly things, only Xinjiang like China policy of running re-education camps will solve the issue.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK GENERAL THAT THE COLLECTIVE MEMORIES OF THE KASHMIRI IS SO SHORT THAT AN APPEAL FROM MODI IS GOING TO MAKE THEM FORGIVE OR FORGET.
The RSS got the vote and thus it’s power, by equating Kashmiris, Pakistanis, Indian Muslims, under one big label MUSLIMS and is in the business restoring the Hindu pride for imaginary past wrongs.
Savakar had his own agenda for muslims so what makes you think the Pracharak is going to follow your suggestions?
Great electoral benefit has accrued for the BJP in following Savakar’s ideology, “the humiliation of the other will restore the pride in our nationhood defined” (sic)
Your article gives the impression that insurgent fighting the forces of the N Army which you commanded is a futile but the mujahideen succeeded against the mighty Soviet Union, so General advise in your writings, that Modi and the Government should eschew feelings of hubris. This insurgency, as AS Daulat said, is now going to take a different turn.
Atoot ang hai. It should be rippling with muscle, fresh blood coursing through it. Both strength and flexibility. Khoobsoorti toh Maalik ne di hai. Not something in a plaster cast, hard, rigid, immobile.

I never knew that Manmohan Singh also spoke.
