New Delhi: A century after Nehru first entered public life, every page of the Selected Works of Jawaharlal Nehru—from handwritten letters to Hindi speeches...
The Indian Right and Liberals all accepted the British conception of Hindu, Muslim and British India and the country's eventual decline. What they disagreed on was its cause.
In his speech, Modi spoke about energy, critical minerals, electronics, defence and fertilisers. That is a more strategic approach than Nehru’s across-the-board one.
Ambedkar regarded both Gandhi and Jinnah as suffering from ‘colossal egotism’, who made Indian politics a matter of their ‘personal quarrel’ and brought it to a standstill.
New Delhi: From Jawaharlal Nehru and Vithalbhai Patel, to Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley— the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday echoed with quotes from several...
Biraj Adhikari blames the MEA for treating the Chogyal’s 1956 visit as a ‘state visit’ and playing the Sikkim anthem. His book captures his generation’s dilemmas — are Sikkimese truly Indian, especially under Article 371F?
