Between Delhi and Bihar elections, it will become evident whether BJP’s vulnerabilities further concede space to opposition or are overcome by Modi-Shah duo.
Northeast unrest over citizenship law is hardly about secularism. People only want to protect their distinct tribal culture from Bengalis residing there.
Police arrested the woman's husband under the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, which bans triple talaq, and the tantrik for the alleged rape.
At a conference, several Muslim women narrated their struggle with the legal system after they sought to file complaints against their husbands over triple talaq.
For an industry globally classified as hazardous, protections such as health insurance and a provident fund for workers are necessities. In Sivakasi, they remain elusive.
The industry forecasts exports are set to grow 16% in 2025-26, boosted by surplus domestic production and a drive to push into 26 underserved global markets with strong potential.
Indigenisation level will progressively increase up to 60 percent with key sub-assemblies, electronics and mechanical parts being manufactured locally.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
Dilip Mandal has a morbid obsession with caste, religion and politics. It’s extremely unhealthy, I suggest him to follow Professor Yogendra Yadav, who also writes critical articles, but he is factually correct and raises relevant points.
A very absurd article that tries to malign the good work of BJP by trying to project it all as Hindu centric. Muslim appeasement is a fact. That it did not improve the lot of Muslims only proves that it was tokenism to create a vote bank. The structural changes the BJP has brought about will surely help in the years ahead. More are required, but politicians play spoil sport. As they did in the land amendment Act. That SC ST Act is misused has been acknowledged even by Mayavati. The authors have chosen to be selectively blind to further their agenda.
The same can be said of other groups. So called upper caste domination did not help every upper caste person, Or SP, BSP rule helped every OBC or dalit.
Appeasement policy DID BENEFIT SOME MUSLIMS. just because not all Muslims benefited by it can not be used to claim that there was no appeasement
Less aware people can write such article which are far from reality; however, i would say that due to such people and their thoght process BJP is bouncing better
The author concluded the BJP performed bad in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh. Did he even visit these states? Onlythe people of undivided Madhya Pradesh know how worst the Congress under Digvijay Singh had drove the state. Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Dr Raman Singh and Nitish Kumar will be remembered in the history as the CM’s who drove out backwardness from the states. This armchair journalist should travel the states and ask the locals rather than living in lala land.
Why do you want to give clean chit to Tabligi people who actually were responsible for the spread? You should rethink political correctness.
And why the hell should Muslims of Islamic nations be given Indian citizenship when they had asked for a separate country, decades back?
This foolish author had once claimed that backwardness of Bihar made sure no communal riots took place in Bihar. https://theprint.in/opinion/why-jungle-raj-bihar-kept-out-communal-riots-for-3-decades-but-delhi-gujarat-couldnt/375863/
“Its performance in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh on these counts was actually worse than many other state governments.” — It is a very casual statement, as someone who has been living in MP for 30 years, the difference between Cong. vs BJP at state level was significant.
Infrastructure, Irrigation, Power, Roads, Urban Planning all aspects MP has improved. So has CG.
We will be endlessly debating these “M” “D” “H” factors etc while our economy gets further degraded by lockdown/containment/curfew without the govt making any attempt to educate/test/treat people. Then we all be left with “P” factor – poverty will not discriminate between Hindus and Muslims. The govt present actions are laying the foundations of ruin of Indian economy and pushing everyone (except Mukesh Ambani) into a disastrous path. Soon we will become another Pakistan – a cesspool of toxic religion based politics, wide-spread poverty and a criminal and ignorant population making the country unliveable.
India’s foreign debt is rising day by day under BJP Govt., Now it is 558.5 billion dollars. In the lenders list Japan, German, France, GB, US, World Bank, IMF and there are great list except those. India is on the brink of bail out. Now Bangladesh is in a very position, Bangladesh is far above on many index comparison than India. Even Nepal is better than India. India is just above Pakistan.
Please understand economics, India is nowhere near bailouts. Debts aren’t an issue if we could do the loan servicing. IMF will be approached only when a bailout is required. The last time we approached the IMF was before 1991 economic reforms.
World Banks do not lend for countries, instead, it lends for projects. There are various projects across the world funded by world bank. The loans taken from countries are project-based for example, loans taken from Japan is for the high-speed rail project. Please quote an economist who said India needs a bailout now? Please check your facts. Bangladesh may have had a higher growth rate in 2019-20. But India was the fastest-growing economy for the previous 4 years. Nepal’s GDP growth was 2.3 % in the last financial year which is less than India.
563 billion Dollar external debt in absolute terms and the debt to GDP ratio is just 20% . The US holds 37% external debt to GDP ratio.
Total Debt to GDP ratio is 106% for the US, India is inching towards 88%, Japan has 238% total debt with 94% external debt. These debts mean nothing until the country could do the debt servicing. Per capita debt is among the lowest in the world.
Bjp has destroyed the credibility of indians in and out of the country with devide and rule policy with fascist approach to shun the voice of innocent citizens . This government failed at all fronts from econony to failed , unplanned lock downs, poor handling of migrants issue and coward foreign policy by just hacking the media. It saves its government by buying evm machines, MPs , MLAs, judges , Ips and IAS officers. it only favoured the business tycons like ambani and adani , looted banks , using money for buying MLAs from PM Cares , etc . The only thing which is very much exposed from the poor governance is the BJP and RSS combined do not have able brains to run the country which isevident from yhe fact that they couldn’t produce a single finance minister in last six years. This show will not last for long same people who are made to worship modi and others will show their right place.
Long live india . Mera bharat mahan !
Divide and rule was the hallmark of the Congress. Nothing much changed on the ground under their rule. Not even the plight of Muslims whom they nurtured with appeasement that was however lacking in action.
The claim tat giving reservation to Upper Caste is Manuvadi is utter baseless and ignorant…
PV Narasimha Rao Govt was the first to give 10% reservation to Upper Caste but tat was struck down by SC …This author shud read more before giving his opinion on Communist Lines
The BJP and Modi will go down in history as the worst party and worst Prime Minister of any country in history! Their policies have done more harm to India than any other!
I really think otherwise. As an American, I can tell you that Mr. Modi and his brand of governance has really captured the imagination of the Americans. My European partner has the same view about how European countries view Mr. Modi. His policies have really improved the image of India as an emerging global super power
All said and done, Hindutva is an accepted philosophy of this country. No party can succeed opposing the Hindutva ideology. Hindus constitute 85% of our population and it is an accepted reality that they should occupy pride of place in our power structure. Appeasement of minorities will not succeed anymore. Every party in the opposition is realizing this hard truth, notwithstanding their earlier disposition towards Hindu religion. Look what Stalin has got to say about the outrageous desecration of Tamil God, Lord Murugan by a tiny, nondescript Karuppar Kootam. He condemned any form of desecration of Hindu God saying that DMK is not anti Hindu. Satan is forced to recite bible for its self survival. At the same time, BJP Govt has done incalculable harm to our economy through Demo, GST and unplanned lockdowns. It’s mindless pursuit of low interest regime is only helping the business tycoons who make money by using others money. Successive interest rate cuts since 2014 has only plummeted our economy – nor has it created any employment opportunities for our aspiring youth. It has added wealth to wealthy who thrive on depositors’ money. The Govt has become a govt of business tycoons, for business tycoons and by business tycoons, a k p
The last M Manuvadi is completely irrelavant, How are those points related to Manuvad, This is just a term used by communists who are confused lot about our culture.
I am sure Hindus too count for something in this country…..or are they some second rate people who should be given the go by…. Yes some Muslims do have political interests in opposition to Hindu interests and vice versa…. These legitimate interests of either sides have to be addressed…… Once parity is established between the two competing parties things will cool down…. Now Hindu interests is having an upturn as compared to the past….But one thing is clear…. From here onward Hindu interests cannot be ignored by any political party…. The parties have realized it and the best part Hindus have realized it…. I am sure the writer will realize this is what Democracy is all about…..

Top cleanest cities in India are in MP and CG.
Finally a well balanced article praising BJP.
