Thiruvanthapuram: When Rajeev Chandrasekhar became the BJP’s Kerala chief in March, it was a break from the usual dyed-in-the wool Sangh background leader taking over...
BJP Kerala president Rajeev Chandrasekhar is the latest to target Riyas, Kerala Minister of Public Works and Tourism, over his ties to father-in-law CM Pinarayi Vijayan.
In an interview, Rajeev Chandrasekhar dismisses Congress's demand for a special parliamentary session on Op Sindoor & Trump's role in brokering ceasefire with Pakistan.
Chandrasekhar is set to replace K. Surendran, the party head in Kerala since 2020, following factionalism in the state BJP unit during the Palakkad by-poll.
Dismissing case against Shashi Tharoor, court said he had not made 'false & malicious' claims against BJP's Rajeev Chandrasekar; adding TV news can fall into scheme of sentimentalisation.
After he was no longer PM, I would visit Dr MMS often and he would in his soft-spoken way urge me to suggest to the new govt to undertake more reforms. He was still thinking deeply of India’s economic future.

On NSG raising day, Home Minister also opens Special Operation Training Centre at NSG facility in Manesar. Besides NSG troops, it will also train state police forces.
Education, reservations, govt jobs are meant to bring equality and dignity. That we are a long way from that is evident in the shoe thrown at the CJI and the suicide of Haryana IPS officer. The film Homebound has a lesson too.
I disagree with you Mr. ashok. Better equation with the Christian community cannot come at the expense of tribals losing their own heritage, culture and religion. Tribals across India are primarily animist and their rituals and worship reflect the same. Their philosophies are unique and so are their cultural practices. The church imposes it’s belief systems on poor tribals by giving out various kinds of inducements – this is a story we all have known for long. What is egregious is that this actually leads to deracination of the younger generations of tribals leading to the spread of social evils like alcoholism, drug abuse, etc.
Mr. Dilip Gogoi is spot on in his observations regarding the Khasi society. Having been educated at Shillong, I can confirm the same.
The Union government must ensure that Christian missionaries do not enter areas inhabited by tribal folks. Not much can be done in the north-east, with the exception of Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura where efforts to convert the local tribes into Christianity has been successfully combated by the tribal society. What happened in the north-eastern states like Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram, due to the misplaced idealism of Nehru and his blind admiration of Verrier Elwin, must not be allowed to happen in central India or elsewhere.
Kerala BJP has already started their christian outreach through by inciting enmity between muslims and christians. The love jihad issue suddenly resurfaced, through right wing online outlets like marunadan malayali and CASA( A Christian fundamentalist organization) and so on.. Asianet news( owned by bjp chief in kerala), janam tv( RSS affiliated channel), and churches own channel shekina tv have slowly restarted the tried formula of love jihad and muslim demonstration formula.
The church will not be allowed to convert innocent tribal people to Christianity.
The Union government is committed to protecting the indigenous religions, rituals, culture and heritage of the tribals. No church organization must be allowed to connect with tribals residing in the forested hills of Central India.
Being a resident of north-east India, I have witnessed first hand how the church surreptitiously converts innocent tribal folks to Christianity and turns them against their own culture and heritage. Today, converted Christian Khasis in Meghalaya look down upon and mock their Seng Khasi brethren. The Seng Khasi people are discriminated against in every possible way. Continuous pressure is exerted by the various church organisations to force the Seng Khasi to convert and leave behind their indigenous religion and rituals.
Christianity is simply unable to accommodate the diverse religious practices and philosophical schools of tribal societies. They force their own theology and rituals on tribals leading to the deracination of the younger generation of those who convert. This eventually leads to them to various social evils like alcoholism, drug abuse, etc.

Kerala. Goa. North east. A better equation with the Christian community would be good for the long term political project of the BJP.
