In her new book, Tavleen Singh writes about PM Modi's "disheartening response" to her questions during a private conversation when he was in his first term.
The Rajasthan High Court quashed the case on the grounds there was not enough evidence of cow smuggling. Pehlu Khan and his two sons were attacked by a mob in 2017.
Like Turkey and Egypt, Pakistan is one of a handful of powers with the human resources and infrastructure to help secure the Persian Gulf as Trump’s America draws down its military presence.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
ACM Katre was 2nd IAF chief to die in harness. It was at a memorial lecture in his honour where IAF chief AP Singh revealed that India shot down 6 Pakistani aircraft in Op Sindoor.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
Mr Modi should not take his eyes off the priz which is securing an economically viable India. All else is fluff and a vexation of the spirit.. It is understandable that to secure votes one has to lay politics, and often indulge in scurrilous language to appeal to baser instincts. But murder is out of bounds, especially when people are peacefully, and lawfully, going about their business. Is INC then the alternative? No, The dynasty’s time is over, as witnessed by the severe drubbing it received in the Delhi elections where the media is more concerned with the defeat of BJP than the complete and total annihilation of the INC. Pity. But the INC’s rule India for 60+ years has bequeathed to its people a system which impoverished people while it empowered the bureaucrats, leaving a filthy mess. Modi is shrewd enough to know that he cannot take his eyes off the prize. Or so is the hope. As other politicians are as venal as the Gandhis this benighted land may be still aspiring for a savior. In Ms. Singh’s writing I do sense that despair.
Tavleen Singh should elaborate on why she supported Modi in the first place which went against her lifelong liberal worldview. Was it to take revenge on Sonia and her coterie or was it to simply get benefits of a sarkari journalist like Sudhir?
Her half-hearted explanation offered here does not sound very convincing..
Tavleen Singh had always hated saffran clad Hindu Sadhus and Sants. It is obvious Modi ignored her. Her opposition to Modi was triggered when his son’s OCI status was cancelled by Indian government. She had tried frantically to get favor from BJP government but failed. One can verify her uturn from her blog posts in Indian Express.
She is the mother Of an illegitimate son and also mother of that third class journalist who called Modi names in US Magazine, the Time., at the behest of British media and Pakistan. I always thought she supported Modi very cleverly at that time but that support was going to change and she is looking for an excuse. That excuse has arrived. CAA is the cause. She knows that illegal Bangladeshis and Pakistanis cannot be allowed to stay. Nobody would let other nations citizens to stay indefinitely but she wanted to withdraw support. Now she has found an excuse…… cheers
She is a highly respected journalist who has absolutely earned her credibility on the basis of her integrity to her profession. If you disagree with her views, express that disagreement and provide your reasons. Stop making cowardly personal attacks. And she is the mother of a well-raised, independent and successful son. There is no such this an “illegitimate” son/daughter.
She is perhaps herself ashamed of accepting that Aatish is her own son. In one of the post in Indian Express she had written Aatish as the child of a British mother rather her own child. After reading that post I had thought that Aatish is not her own son. But now it looks that Aatish is her own son.
Your language says it all . Disgusting
Ms Singh stop writing and atone for the mess you have created by volunteering at an NGO for the hearing impaired because no one needs to hear more of your “spin” on reality. I love Aatish so I’m being snarky but polite.
The lynching of Mohamed Akhlaq – one of his sons served in the IAF, the other was beaten within an ace of death – took place within a day or two of the visit to the Menlo Park headquarters of Facebook. Two very different facets of India seen by the world almost simultaneously. Had the very first travesty – actually there was an earlier one involving a techie in Poona who was killed entirely because he looked and dressed like a Muslim – been countered forcefully, the scourge would have been stopped dead in its tracks. CM Vasundhara Raje too gave a poor account of herself. One thing has led to another. India’s image globally will take an army of plastic surgeons to repair. Not just a few effete talks to think tanks.
Opposition parties are responsible to damage India’s image abroad as they often denigrate India while abusing Modi. They feed lies to their foreign colleagues who in turn publishes editorials showing Indian in a very bad light. Often opposition behaves like anti-India forces such as a Congress leader asking Pakistan’s support to defeat Modi or left cabal fabricating stories about human rights violations in Kashmir. The list is endless.
