Compassion and cohabitation with animals are ingrained in the Indian value system. A humane solution must be found for the rising conflict between man and free-range animals.

Accused of murder of his wife lectures on ethics and morality?
Is it not ridiculous the bunch of journalists forming this Web Page”The Print” has decided to publish this article?
If Modi hatred reaches this level we are compelled to think whether this is a sponsored News Paper by a political party? These were the journalist demanding removal of Akbar from Ministry. Where has their morality and ethics gone ?
Surely the uneducated lout has a stage manner and native cunning. His ambition is written on the sleeve of his sartorial narcissism.
Futher, he has a shallow bench of intellect, kept on a tight leash.
Departure from secularism and the rise of fundamentalism is to me the most threatening manifestation of the evil that lurks below the surface; cloaked in saffron.
The lotus often blooms in dirty water.
Is India such a cesspool?
I don’t agree with Tharoor. Our Prime Minister is really a game changer. He has changed the practice of Prime Ministers calling press conferences, Prime Ministers attending Parliament sessions, Prime Ministers not speaking blatant lies, Prime Ministers behaving in a dignified manner, Prime Ministers respecting science as a discipline different from religious myths, Prime Ministers speaking about their own work and not endlessly blaming previous governments, Prime Ministers empathizing with farmers and the poor, and in so many other ways. How can you say that he is not a game changer?
Modi may be remembered is history as name cheater. If he claims he got built statue – he should consider Mayawati of UP as her Guru. She built many more, in hundreds during her terms of Dr. Ambedkar, her election symbol – Elephant, her Guru Kashi Ram and above all of herself. Patel was a National Leader with a very wide outlook of events and knowing pulse of people. RSS/Modi should not try to belittle him with their so called rift theory of Nehru-Patel. They was Two man, One Soul, One game player – The Freedom of the Country.
You showed Shashi Tharoor’s qualifications and posts held but didn’t mention that he is accused in murder of his wife and he has taste for women which include a journalist from Pakistan. This left your introduction incomplete
When it comes to raising right questions and bringing it to the notice of all and making us think, Mr Tharoor really leaves a fair image of himself as a People’s person . Is it really worth to spend money time efforts by our Power people for 1)Changing names of Cities, places, monuments,2) Creating Tall statues b it for Sardar or Mahatma that cannot be anything more than a visual pleasure. Ask a poor man or a unemployed person with a burden of a family that whether they try to get some seconds to stop near that statue seeit as a symbol of developing India.?3) What is there in the name , correct. But will even a begger wud like to be known by a different name of his parent than his. Why . Leave ask self will we not be hurt if we are addressed wrongly even if we may not be a Elite or famous person. Why so much of enemity like speech / comment on Tharoor for som questions which r genuine concerns to b addressed for the longterm effectiveness & preservation of our secular India. His question why not a statue build simply doesnot mean he is emphazing on building another statue even if for Bapu. Even if it means that there is definitely one thing that shud make us think_ do we want more & more Statues.? Likewise when he talks about name change why take it negatively only as if it is bcoz he is in Congress & he is talking for Gandhi’s. R v going to sideline every genuine concern raised by a educated person on such grounds. Is his personal life / 4 times married means all what he says is ill intended. And if at all he has married 4 times or 10 times, how is it going to make all his questions wrong. Everyone has a personal life which they manage as per their life. Does our PM leaving his wedded wife not at all mistake .R u all sure it was for social welfare & not bcoz of anyother personal distaste.If that is not of our concern nor wrong then please dont drag Mr Tharoor’s personal life into his work platform particularly with a hatred that makes us ignore many valuable points he raise.
Modi is not an educated person he & his party opposed to BSP Mayawati for using the public fund but today his party is copying something good idea from BSP , what modi knows was how do criticized opponent
Sir….. what is the point in complaining on an English news digital platform. If you can, congress should fight this on ground and take the message to people instead.
S V Patel – Why has not congress claimed him in the past? You are always highlighting Nehru – Gandhi family. His name was up for grabs and BJP is appropriating the same. Because congress will be busy promoting Nehru / Gandhi family, don’t be surprised if this happens to PVN and even MMS few decades from now.
Swacch Bharat Programme – You may be right in saying that Nirmal Bharat always existed. Please go around and ask how many people knew about Nirmal Bharat. It was run like a bureaucratic programme with no political ownership. BJP gave this program the publicity it required and Modi lent his name to the programme. Everybody in India knows about Swacch Bharat now including school kids. Awareness levels are much higher.
Same is true for many other points mentioned above. If you ever have a smarter & popular leader like Modi in future, believe me, congress will do the same.
Read a column by Shoaib Daniyal a couple of days back in Scroll. In, highlighting the role Lord Mountbatten played in the integration of the princely states. The notion that five hundred odd states could opt for independence was crazy to begin with, in any case, as everyone must have soon realised. So perhaps we should not have this romantic idea that one man did it all by himself, without any help from his Prime Minister, the Cabinet, some outstanding mandarins. By the same token, what was once India’s largest political party need not slavishly place everything at the feet of one dynasty, either, Such a large nation does not belong to one individual, who claims credit for all its achievements. These India is Indira, etc stories do not have happy endings.
Many programmes mentioned started by Vajpayee Government and Congress appropriated it and gave Nehru, Indira name. Aadhar was conceptualized by Vajpayee government GST was also original Idea of Vajpayee Government. It also to be seen what was the success of these programmes during UPA days. GST never came about because of arrogance of Chidambaram not willing to accommodate manufacturing states like TN Maharashtra and Gujarat etc. 2% CST was one more sticky issue where states were not ready to believe the center.. All these issues were sorted out by NDA by willing to be accommodative and not being arrogant. Congress having been in power for so long definitely should have thought about these programmes (No credit can be given for that) and as public we have not heard of any of those programmes mentioned by you during congress days. . Nirmal abhiyan was name given what was achieved. At least now I see lot of drive for cleanliness. So don’t keep reminding people you started the programme it was Modi who effectively implemented those. Only when successfully implemented people recognise the programme and not when it is in papers like Nirmal Abhiyan. DBT was not named as Jandhan. How ignorant you could be.
Modi ji at least has the greatness to realize that greatness is somehow connected with originality. So he keeps groping for original ideas, and in the process appropriates some of others.
About this jacket thing, I think we should remember and salute not Nehru but some Unknown Tailor who thought it up; there were none in the olden days who carried the snooty title of a “designer” as we have today. (Most of the modern apparel “designers” are also in Modi ji’s boat — in desperate search for originality they keep verging on the weird. The “ramp” walkers that I sometimes see on TV appear to be straight out of a loony bin, with the Chief Loony lurking somewhere among the crowd, looking proud for some weird reason!)
In another article on THE PRINT by Kumar Ketkar a few days ago, I had commented that I see Modi ji turning to writing and “speaking” after 2019 ( in the manner of U.S. presidents who take to the “speech circuit” after retirement.) THERE, believe it or not, Modi ji will discover both originality and greatness. Anyone can take my word for it.

The biggest name changer is your party owner.
Simply put, Modi is such a disgrace, and easily the greatest disaster to have hit this great nation post independence!

But the Indian public has no problem! So they can get any name changed to anything. It doesn’t matter at all.

Then I hope he retires ASAP and head of to full time speechifying and the let the country’s governance recover.
There are wife changers also. Guess the name
