Police officer Gagandeep Singh is a man from a minority saving another from a majority mob. We’ve allowed the binaries to blunt our perceptions to an extent where we need images like these to jolt us.
India closely monitoring situation, especially the safety of its citizens. Contingency plans in place for intervention; deployment possible at short notice.
Why did she call elections in 1977, or return to power with a brute majority in 1980? On her birth centenary, Indira Gandhi deserved an honest reassessment.
On JP’s birth anniversary, reposting my trip down memory lane to 1977-78, and conspiracy theories about why his health deteriorated during the Emergency.

Whether it is due to the alleged unofficial ban on The Bengal Files or allegations by Gopal Mukherjee’s family against Agnihotri, everyone in the state wants to know more about Mukherjee.
New Delhi: On 4 September morning, apple growers in south Kashmir’s Pulwama woke up to knee-deep water in their orchards, ripe apples scattered all over,...

In its toughest time in decades because of floods, Punjab would’ve expected PM Modi to visit. If he has the time for a Bihar tour, why not a short visit to next-door Punjab?
Author of this piece writes, so she wrote her imagination. Not that there is no bit of truth when she imply minority individuals get attacked in certain individual cases. We are also living in this country but we don’t see such great injustice on minorities. They are well entrenched in the system perhaps with more security and advantages than many born in majority communities. No I am not doing what you think. I am talking the truth. Because whe you illustrate only incidents reported and misreported giving everytime a colour of religiosity to victims it does give a horrible image of society. But what is the truth. Truth is minority in religious terms or in any terms naturally used to get targeted at times by the other. And you talk about ‘minority’ nationally. Think about the reality on the ground. Every nation has a moral and constitutional duty to protect its minority. But is it true that wrongs happen only against minority from majority? Not at all. Many places where minority communities are there in majority similar issues happen there also. Not belittling crimes against minorities but stating a fact on the ground. Using this kind of inhumsn CRIMES is never going to reduce such happenings but tackling with reality sense by various administrative and educative methods are only a solution. Sensation and article made out in that line will be okay fir a few minutes easing. That’s all.
Well-written. Unfortunately your brilliant article will be now met with a deluge of profanities and uncivilized comments from deranged Bhakts and BJP social media troll army.
For a normal citizen to do something like this would have been act of decency and courage. For SI Gagandeep Singh, for whom we have great respect, it was all in a day’s work. The fact that he has become an internet sensation tells us two contradictory things about India : one, we have regressed, sharply swiftly; second, the average citizen is uncontaminated, applauds the humanity implicit in the act.

What should be implied is creating waves and making mockery of our democracy, what to say on such glorified imagery by a sponsored section of media

And yes I agree with everything you say, Harnidh.
