Since 1957, several governors have taken decisions guided by the central government instead of the rulebook. A look at history throws up many controversial names.
Goa Congress president Girish Chodankar says party is yet to decide
whether it wants to stake claim to form government and ask for time to prove majority.
It is now up to governor Vajubhai Vala to decide who he invites to form the government. Both the BJP and the Congress-JD (S) alliance have staked claim. Experts weigh in.
In an exclusive interview with ThePrint, the former minority affairs minister Heptulla discussed triple talaq, as well as Islam’s interpretation of marriage.
Ahaan and Aneet appeared refreshingly unknown, and made an impact as the characters they play—the ‘troubled’ rockstar and his demure, writer girlfriend.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
PTC Industries is investing Rs 1,000 cr in 4 manufacturing plants in UP, has already started supplying titanium parts to BAE Systems for its M-777 howitzers that India also uses.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
It was Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, who opposed the formula of “Sovereign united Bengal” otherwise; the Bengal would not be divided. Dr. Mukherjee was a Brahmin only thought to live mostly with Brahmins as such he thought to form a “Hindu Home Land” centering Calcutta forgetting the non-Brahmin Hindus of East Bengal. If he could take lessons from Abraham Lincoln he would not oppose Suhrawardy rather he would try to win over him to form a United Bengal like that of the USA. Dr. Mukherjee neither could form a Hindu-Home- Land nor a West Bengal free from Muslims. He had realized later how he was cheated by Nehru, Gandhi, and President Kripanali but in the end, he left Bengal and died in Kashmir. But he will live as a destroyer of Bengal for all the time in the minds of Hindus of East Bengal. Our respected Tathagata Roy might be a supporter of Hindus or RS or BJP but he could not be accepted as sharp intellectuals for the betterment of Bengal and East Bengal Hindus.

I think it’s abhorrent that the so called reporter (and her/his US based hard left and/or “Capito Commie” pseudo intellectual(s) are a permanent breed of anti Hindu bigots. (and. that too, in India where majority of citizens are Hindus.) The fact of the matter is- In Bangladesh which couldn’t have been free without India’s intervention in the last phase of it’s war of liberation (before 3 million civilians were killed and 250,000 women were raped – disproportionate number of Hindus among them- by the then West Pakistani army) there have been ongoing ethno-religious cleansing , crimes against minority girls and women, mass demolition places of worship, unprecedented & wide scale ‘land grab’ and, millions of internal & external displacement since 1970. As things got much worse since October 2001 – it’s noteworthy that, it’s only the courageous, conscientious and real journalists who spoke truth to power there are Muslims whereas, absolute hypocrisy reigned among most Indian English language journalists and pesudo-intellectuals who are either, too afraid to chronicle such history of crimes against humanity or, are unable to speak out to please the western media and, get plaudits from the movers and shakers of the two Abrahamic religions. . Shame on these guys and girls’ except in so far as it is abundantly clear that’s the only way they can make a living (and prosper.)
What is wrong with him telling the truth, either about Nehru or Mamata? Being a veteran in politics, he probably knows more about what happenned to India. Nehru should not have been the PM. But he was entrusted that by treachery! Country has been suffering since then. The appeasement politics has reached such a stage that if you accept the falsehoods and move on then you are alligned to the oldest party! If you start questioning the motives then you are maligned as religious Hindu fanatic! But i bet 90% of Indians are aligned to the truth, and honestly are looking to correct the historical fallacies! The rest 10% are pseudo sickular, scared and afraid of their identity and with a new tag called urban naxals!!! Jai hind!

If Modiji allows him to hold Governor’s office it tantamounts he stands with what Governor has said though in public meeting he had claimed our fight is for Kashmir and Kashmiris.
Though certainly, one cannot subscribe to the view of Governor. But in my view, what he is advocating, is to have a homeostatic system where if repression is done in the name of caste, religious or ethnic divide then it must be responded in that manner. Certainly, subcontinent as a whole has suffered enormously from the Muslim invasion and then from British Raj , which is etched in the memory of India so deep that any talk of appeasement exhumes the very scar. In the guise of pluralism, apparently one cannot go on hurting the sentiment of the majority. Though such check and balances should be done through laws, but what if laws are inept to deal with certain situations. Thus the deep sentiment of history needs to be looked before completely blaming the person. As a nation, we have sailed through a lot of pain and surely we will sail through fundamentalism, terrorism and intolerance growing in the society at large.
It does not suffice to say we do not agree with His unExcellency. His publicly stated views are so outrageously in conflict with his constitutional status and role, he should be sent back to his native Bengal, where he contributed little to its public life.
