Industry insiders say any rise in duties on Indian generics will squeeze profits for Indian companies, but will also make the drugs costlier for patients in US.
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
How much self importance, narcissism and gloating does your cabal give itself ? Prize for alliteration? This article will not win a prize for anything because it is devoid of human decency and logic. You spent the first few paragraphs berating the opposing ideology and offered no balanced opinion on their positions. We all know that many TV news channel peddle half truths of some sort of the other. The liberal media does it very often too, so why do you guys always take the high moral ground that you dont deserve? Your colleagues are well known for wiping out or completely white washing certain hard truths. It is the liberal media that has been in control for ages and what we see as the rw media now is just a tiny reaction to the unforgivable excesses from your fraternity. Leaving that aside, when Arnab heckles people, those people sign up for the heckling by going on his show. No one forced them to be on his show. They can all collectively boycott his show, who is stopping them? We know that these are just TRP wars. Hence, when Kunal Kamra stalked Arnab, it was just a crude and vile publicity stunt that went awry. When Arnab refused to engage, he should have politely gone back to his seat. Celebrities and journalists give themselves too much importance these days. In the process of bringing someone down or winning an argument, you guys have literally become “that” very thing you hate. What an irony! The public has a gazillion options now to get their news from, we don’t need you proud popes, priests and peeps presiding over the people any more! Hope you get the point.
Just one question Ms Bajpai which you seem to have conveniently glossed over. Arnab Goswami does what you accuse him of on air on his show. Was the Aircraft cabin the stage for the comedy show of Mr. Kamra? To my mind Mr. Kamra comes across as a frustrated man which most of your ilk are these days.
Both media and their political masters are dividing us. I am surprised that media has simply ignored what R Channel did with Tejaswi Yada in flight when the reporter was allowed to gatecrash inside and provoked him to answer about resignation as Dy CM inspite his repeated request not to disturb other passengers and it is not right place. Why no action was taken then against channel or its reporter. What Kunal did was stupidity and in process helped Goswami to get media attention.
I applaud the author of this article. I started with the article just to know the updates of the events, but I was very happy and surprised (good) to read a well balanced and outright opinionated article esp. in a time while journalism is so biased and skewed. Looking forward from such inbaised and brave hearted journalists. I realises it’s hard to pull off a balanced, unbaised perspective (not even news) on any topic now a days. So, my request is to keep gng with same spirit and focused. Ignore the hate comments. Cheers
Words have meaning and one must congratulate the author on using “verbal assault” to correctly identify what occurred. It wasn’t heckling and it wasn’t trolling. There was no consent during the engagement and individuals should realize that one can’t simply open ones phone and start recording videos / take pictures of individuals and publish them publically without consent.
Mr. Puri’s actions are dissappointing but perhaps understandable after being tagged by IndiGo on Twitter .. but since when did Twitter become the means by which official communication occurs? This is absurd. Sure, tweet digital versions of official documents if one must, but our reliance on controlling the ‘narrative’ is making us all trigger happy.
The central government needs to learn how to de-escalate contentious issues rather than falling prey to their natural tendencies of bringing on the fight, so to speak.
Yes, we are supposed to take the high road, always. And these right-wingers “lowly pests”, so call “media” keeps on desecrating every single voice of dissent. Every single.
So lets say a BJP supporter serves the same nuance (‘unsavory not unruly’) to Kamra, Pranay Ray, Sardeshai or to this pilot – will it be the same reaction? If you normalize a passenger abusing the other without any punishment then everyone can do it. Do you want to fly with people fighting with each other? Will you then find out who is unsavory and who is unruly? No matter which side you align this is unacceptable from a safety point of view. Imagine if Arnab reacted the same way it could have been a hazard!
I pity you, author of this article, whatever your name is. No, don’t bother telling me. I wouldn’t care less.
I feel for you. The pain you and your ilk are feeling all the time, with no respite. I really feel for you.
To suddenly become redundant is one thing. To become inconsequential is quite another. For decades you and your ilk have propagated utter nonsense and got away with it. Suddenly, the people of this Nation have realised that you make no sense and have stopped paying any attention. And to add injury to insult, they now laugh at you. Nay, like me, they pity you. Sad. A sad day for all of you indeed.
Take my advise, find another profession. At least you will be able to feed yourself and family with dignity. No one will hold your past against you. You are what you were taught by similarly confused people. The individual should be pitied, not held responsible for the intellectual confusion they imbibed in early life from the group.
Bye bye. May the good God give you the courage to lead a good, meaningful and fulfilling life, even if no one takes you seriously anymore.
The whole tone of this article is berating the journalists who dont sit well with ideological world view of the author & her employer. Its clear that she doesnt appreciate (to put it mildly) the journalism of Arnab, Sudhir chaudhary, Deepak chaurasia & rahul shivshankar. The problem is, and i have posted on Print before, that for decades there was no alternative point of view to what the leftists peddled in India! It was the same lie which was told in JNU & DU history classrooms, OR in the editorials of TOI & HT & NDTV studios. Why? Because those people from JNU’s brainwashed classrooms went straight into media and magnified the lies they were told. But now, over the last 7-8 years, due to a robust social media millions of other who dont agree with this cabal can air their opinion instantly. Also many media outlets have emerged that are willing to deviate from the left fanatic standards of reporting, and present an alternative point of view. This is whats riling up the established leftist media crocodiles. You are actually not criticizing kunal kamra, you are not admonishing him for his uncouth behaviour, but you are actually telling him what to do next time. Also, in conclusion, DO THINK why shaheen bagh ‘protestors’ dont engage in dialogue. Its simply because they cant. They dont know why they are there. They are just brainwashed zombies incapable of even understanding the issue. And those that do understand, like this website, Yourself & others at TOI & India Today & NDTV, are just too biased to acknowledge that there is in reality no basis for any protest. I challenget Ms Malhotra & Shekhar Gupta to take their whole biased team of journalists & get into a public debate with Deepak Chaurasia, Sudhir Chaudhary & Rahul Shiv Shankar. Take NDTV Ravish Kumar & Nidhi Razdaan with You. You people wont have anything to say, except ‘nation in danger’, ‘intolerance’, ‘idea of india’….no facts, no reality…just propaganda.
Even our PM doesn’t engage in press conferences. At least not alone. Does that mean he doesn’t even know why he is here? Also you seem to be peddling a “equanimity” Kind of ideology yet you call, one of the only 2 top 500 universities, JNU , as “lie peddlers”….That is truly funny when you oppose your own advice/idea in the next sentence. 240 hours to take back PoK is not a lie but the idea that constitution is in danger is a lie? Practice what you preach boy….
In our country if someone is abused for anti-govt remarks it is intolerance and if someone is abused for pro-govt remarks then it is “giving it back”. Wow!

Very nice article. No matter which side you are on, it is always important to communicate effectively with all. Should be read by more people.

Don’t write a full article to defend indecent acts of mad people

On 11 Feb we shall get to know whether education and health care wins or rabid communalism does. Communal polarization seldom fails to catch votes.
