New Delhi: At Delhi’s Purana Qila this week, a five-minute anthem was blasted across the ramparts: “Ye Indraprastha hai” (This is Indraprastha). The event...
Celebrating the PM at 75, the BJP is observing the entire week as ‘Sewa Saptah’, organising blood donation camps, health check-ups, and cleanliness drives.
Most of these comments echoed the same message originally posted by Alka Singh Bhargava, a retired IRS officer and former Chief Commissioner of Income Tax.
Mishra was accused of promoting communal enmity. The court said it had no option but to bring this “state of affairs” to the Delhi Police commissioner’s notice.
Mishra has courted several controversies, from initiating chants of 'Desh ke gaddaron ko' at a pro-CAA rally to leading an agitation against Shaheen Bagh protests.
The concern is not that 2025’s rally was irrational, but that it may be difficult to repeat. Outlooks remain anchored to AI investment and growth without reigniting inflation.
If deal goes through, Greece will be 2nd foreign country to procure vehicle. Morocco was first; TATA Group has set up manufacturing unit there with minimum 30 percent indigenous content.
Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
Dream come true if Bharata renames Dehli/Delhi to its original name Indraprastha.
For anyone still wondering, Dehli is literally dehliz or gateway because Dehli served as the gateway to the rest of Bharata for (you guessed it) “peaceful” invaders.
And Delhi is simply how the gora sahibs and their spiritual successors, the brown goras and (in modern idiom) the burger kiddos spelt it.
Indraprastha is not a mere gateway but the Pandava capital. Bharatiya names are not a joke and Bharatiya languages not so utterly dead that we need Urduised or Anglicised corruptions to be the only official names.
So wholeheartedly welcome the restoration of the original name and true identity of the city.
