‘Post-truth’, a gift of the Trump campaign, means a situation in which people are most likely to accept an argument based on what they want to believe, never mind the facts.
Former foreign minister Natwar Singh says there’s a distinct change in Rahul Gandhi since his ‘Pappu’ days, but taking over the Congress will be a huge challenge.
The attack on Chhayanaut, newspaper offices, and the public lynching of a Hindu man show that Bangladesh is heading toward Islamist rule, far removed from electoral democracy.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
If Pathaan gave both conservatives and liberals room to hide, Dhurandhar extends no such courtesy. Aditya Dhar ripped open that tent of hypocrisy and turned the knife.
ThePrint has gone this senseless to put up a column and title so evidently offensive and disrespectful for a woman whatever be the politics involved!!!

Some may not agree with these lines from the article:
“Even though it was obvious from the word go that Priyanka was the natural-born neta in the set-up”,
for the simple reason that she was never given a chance to be a Neta, for others to form such an impression. But the way things have unfolded in last five years, Rahul Gandhi has been a revelation. People had the impression of him as an easy-going, often-absent kind of a leader. But he has shown that he is the true scion of Indira Gandhi. If Priyanka also proves to be made of the same substance, then it’s surely good news for the Congress.
Unfortunately, her jumping into UP politics may also be good news for the BJP. The present situation of that party is such that only its “hopelessly faithfuls” will vote for it. That voter cannot be weaned away by Priyanka. So any additional votes that the Congress may get due to Priyanka’s entry will necessarily come from the SP+BSP vote bank, a fact that may benefit BJP.
It will be very important that Akhilesh and Mayawati realize this reality, and make serious efforts to take Congress into their fold. That will ring a death knell for the BJP in UP and the party may finish up in single digits.
A desperate measure for a situation that should never have been desperate in the first place, but was allowed to degenerate, with family ties taking precedence over competence, ability, political acumen and craft and, COMMON SENSE. THIS can only go so far and no further. Which, for all of us Indians, is as it should be.
Agree, Sir. We forget the time span and the violent deaths of indira Gandhi and rajiv Gandhi.
If we go down memory lane, Sonia was not ready. I don’t think any mother would want her children to meet the same fate.
Priyanka, as the article suggests, does not, come across as someone who can be pressured, either to be a stay at home mom or join politics.
“Who is fit to be elected?” asked Napoleon. “A Caesar, an Alexander only comes along once in a century, so that election must be a matter of chance.” – Simon Sebag Montefiore, The Romanovs: 1613-1918.
Salute to the electorate of our great democracy. They have survived many nasty surprises thrown at them by aristocrats pretending to be democrats, and will survive this one as well.
All mothers, not just Indian ones, love their sons to distraction. That happens with tigresses in the wild as well. Priyanka is not Plan B. Rahul took his time getting into his groove, but now the holding pins are falling away. It would be too early to say she is a force multiplier. But she adds to her brother’s time and strength, on a much larger canvas than eastern UP. They will make a perfect team, no crossed wires. A natural division of labour between governance and party affairs.
I mean look at the politeness of the article. The writer should br praised for being a biased sycophant.
Anyway , she could have started by asking how did Nehru’s daughter become a Gandhi
And that obsession of the writer with couture and saree over any proof of priyanka substantiating her leadership is superb again
Pscophancy combined with demeaning speeches seem to be bread earners for these “celebrated” writers
ThePrint has gone this senseless to put up a column and title so evidently offensive and disrespectful for a woman whatever be the politics involved!!!

How true this gentleman is
“The one who was happy to be periodically aired, bask in her startling resemblance to her legendary grandmother, and frequently confuse the villagers in Amethi and Rae Bareli (some of whom may not even know that Indira Gandhi is dead).”
That’s one savage line. Salute!
This is the silliest article I have read. What was De smoking?
What about her BiPolar disorder ?

The Qusstion is has she got over her drinking problem? And what about the massive and often violent tantrums??
With no disrespect to Ms. De, The Print could certainly have found a more serious columnist to write on such an important event in Indian politics!
True that sir.
