Narendra Modi Must Tell Trump That Kashmir Is A Bilateral Issue Needing No Mediator
By The western Press is egging United States President Donald Trump to press India for third-party mediation in the Kashmir imbroglio roiling India-Pakistan relations, while at the same time asserting that Trump has put India, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a “tight spot”. Prime Minister Modi wasn’t asked for his opinion and is Trump capable of putting India in a “tight spot”, if at all! The western media have little or no respect for India. They would rather romance Pakistan’s generals.
Trump Refashions The Working Of White House Media Room To The Ire Of Correspondents
By The novelty of Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary, is wearing off. For no fault of the White House Correspondents’ Corps which hangs on to Leavitt’s every word and the odd Leavitt gesture. But with time running its scam, too many White House correspondents are beginning to slot Leavitt in President Donald Trump’s authoritarian block. Karoline Leavitt passes edicts in line with President Trump’s executive orders and there is nothing Buddhist about Leavitt’s edicts.
Stand-Up Comedian Kunal Kamra Has To Be Ready For Long Hands Of Law
By ‘Gaddar nazar woh aaye’ and ‘Khoon ke pyase baat suno’. Two songs, one which stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra sang to target Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and the second, playing in the background when Congress Rajya Sabha MP Imran Pratapgarhi attended a mass wedding in Gujarat and somebody took objection to the song. In the case of Kamra’s ‘Gaddar nazar woh aaye’, the entire Shiva Sena (Shinde) is baying for Kamra’s blood. The Shiva Sena can be a very vindictive adversary.
Will AIADMK Once Again Ally With BJP In Tamil Nadu Against Stalin Led DMK?
By ‘Speculation’ is the most common pick-up from the English dictionary. If you don’t know what’s happening, ‘speculation’ comes into play. For journalists to fall back on ‘speculation’ to not to make a point comes natural. Right now, there is speculation that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin doesn’t have an inkling on what’s happening between the BJP and the DMK, which are “in talks”.
‘Saugat-E-Modi’ Is Taking The Narendra Modi Cult To Another Level
By What is ‘Saugat-e-Modi’? The literal translation is ‘Modi’s Gift’.
Reservation Issue Becomes The Focus Of Political Fight Between BJP And Congress
By Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge is adamant that nobody (does “nobody” include Congress?) can “change the Constitution drafted by Babasaheb Ambedkar” and that nobody “can finish reservation” either. The question then boils down to can anybody give Muslims reservation, i.e., reservation on the basis of religion? The Constitution says ‘no’. The Congress leaves everything to a guessing game, knowing well that religious reservation will require changes to the Constitution.
Shinde Supporters Have Done More Harm To Him By Vandalising Kamra’s Studio
By The statement ‘Comedian Kunal Kamra keeps me in splits’ is not comedy. Neither is ‘Kunal lives in a room which is his surname!’ And if a child drops the line “Papa bought me a Kunal Kamra to take pictures”, it still isn’t a joke.
Mahayuti Govt Partners Differ On How To Deal With Communal Violence
By It is getting awfully crowded in that space where Muslims hold the key to any secular party’s electoral advantage.
Elon Musk’s AI Led Grok Has Created Furore In Indian Political Circles
By ‘Mind your language’ is out of the phrasebook. Now, it’s Mind your Grok! But wait, there’s no guarantee Grok’s gonna listen. Grok’s got a mind of its own and Grok’s not subject to the law of the land, or is it? Question is, why’s Grok suddenly in the thick of things? Figure it’s got to do with Grok taking a fancy to ‘Hindi’, Bharat’s ‘khadi-boli’ and first cousin to Urdu. Also with attachments to Sanskrit and, perhaps, with Pali, too.
Violence In Nagpur Reveals Utter Confusion Amongst Sangh Parivar Units
By The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is confused. Confusing ‘glorification’ with ‘irrelevant’ and vice versa, leaving everybody in the Sangh Parivar confused. RSS’ top spokesperson Sunil Ambekar couldn’t clearly enunciate who are the glorifiers of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb or why “glorification of Aurangzeb” is “irrelevant” to present times? Shiv Sena (UBT) isn’t confused.
Sunita Williams Makes A Huge Splash In India On Her Return To Earth
By NASA astronaut, Indian-American Sunita Williams, smiled and waved on returning to Earth from somewhere in Space where she was stranded for 286 days. No, Sunita Williams didn’t stop in Space to gaze at the sky all around her but because she didn’t have control of the circumstances, which is not always the situation in Space. Sunita’s extended stay was necessitated due to problems developing in the Boeing Starliner capsule that took her to Space. For Sunita Williams it wasn’t rocket science.
Why Is Dr. Muhammad Yunus So Worried At Tulsi Gabbard’s Comments On Attacks Against Hindus?
By United States Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard spoke for the Hindu against perpetrators of wrongs against the community and the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government of Bangladesh reacted almost immediately, challenging Gabbard to provide “evidence”.
Pakistan Army’s Claim Of Successful Conclusion Of Hostage Crisis Has Many Gaps
By Pakistan Army’s Operation Jaffar Express Clean-up came to a successful conclusion: All the Baloch ‘dehshatgars (terrorists)’ were eliminated in one fell-swoop with not a single body of the killed terrorists to show! Pak Army’s Director-General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) told the media. And if that is believable, how about the claim of not a single Pakistani soldier/officer, Special Forces personnel, lost his life cleaning up the “terrorists”?
Muslim Personal Law Board to stage protests against Waqf Amendment Bill on Thursday
Both Administration and organisers have to ensure proper order at the rally By Sushil Kutty Thursday and Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, just this side of Parliament Street and a kilometre from Parliament House, which was not long ago claimed as “Waqf Property”, will see a massive protest against the Modi Government’s Waqf Board Amendment Bill, 2024, spearheaded by the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board, a body of mostly Muslim lawyers, clerics and Islamic scholars.
Narendra Modi Has Put All His Focus On Winning Assembly Polls In Bihar By Year End
By The Bihar assembly elections are still months ahead but why waste time? The Bharatiya Janata Party is in a hurry much before the elections. And it doesn’t matter if Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues to cultivate his ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’ narrative, there is little evidence to prove that the Haryana, Maharashtra, the Uttar Pradesh bypolls and the Delhi assembly elections weren’t won by fanning Hindu sentiments. Bihar will be no exception.
Saving Prime Minister Modi’s Guarantee Mahila Samriddhi Yojana
By Just in the nick of time! Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta saved Prime Minister Narendra Modi more than embarrassment. She didn’t let “Modi’s Guarantee” go waste like it has occasionally before.
Congress Spokesperson Shama Mohamed’s Remark On Fat Shaming Is Uncalled For
By Fat-shaming is the new normal in Congress party political circles these days. Congress spokespersons use it with critical remarks regarding the cricketing performances of top Indian cricketing icons. And if you’re Malayali with almost zero cricketing knowledge you’re best at the game. Ask Shama Mohamed, the Congress party’s spokesperson at the centre of a fat-shaming controversy involving her loose tongue. Mohamed is from Kerala and Malayalis are relatively new to setting cricketing examples.
Mayawati Fights Family & Foes For Retaining The BSP Supremo Position
By Behan Mayawati is anything but a confused aunt. Consumed by her all-powering and unflagging need to stay in power and suspicious of the barest of darkness descending on her, Mayawati sees danger to her throne from all corners of the Bahujan Samaj Party’s Diwan-e-Khas knowing that the Diwan-e-Aam cannot be controlled or taken for granted. And to think that the several-times Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh has to now fight palace intrigue and clandestine plots to dethrone her.
Sambhal’s Shahi Jama Masjid Is Now A Disputed Structure As Per Allahabad Court
By Things are not happening along planned and expected lines for Sambhal’s Shahi Jama Masjid, i.e., as expected by the mosque’s Masjid Management Committee and “protector”, the Samajwadi Party. For example, is this Masjid also going the way of the Babri Masjid? The Allahabad High Court on Friday referred to it as “disputed structure” and “alleged mosque”. With that Sambhal’s Shahi Jama Masjid has joined the select few. Babri Masjid was a disputed structure.
Trump’s AI Generated Video On Gaza Shows His Business Acumen As A Real Estate Developer
By US President Donald Trump’s AI-generated video on Gaza, which he uploaded on self-owned ‘Truth Social’, stumped the majority who sat down to watch it. They didn’t think Ai could have been more realistic than the works of celebrity filmmakers like James Cameron with their creative imaginations. James Cameron says he is set to flee the United States because Trump’s presidency is “sickening” and this is the man who made ‘Avatar’ and ‘Titanic’.
USAID In India Issue Is Turning Bizarre With Every Passing Day
By External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar never seems to finish his thoughts. People might mistake him to be a hesitant hacker. But that isn’t the case. EAM Jaishankar is the second longest serving foreign minister after Jawaharlal Nehru, who kept the external affairs portfolio with him, for the entirety of his tenure as the Prime Minister of India.
Chief Minister Stalin Sounds Tamil Bugle Against Narendra Modi’s ‘Namaste India’
By ‘Vanakkam’ or ‘Namaste’? Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin wouldn’t mind a greeting in Russian, the language of his namesake, but greet him with a ‘Ram-Ram’ in ‘khari-boli Hindi’ and he might burst a blood vessel while soaking in the morning sun.
USAID In India Issue Is Turning Bizarre With Every Passing Day
By External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar never seems to finish his thoughts. People might mistake him to be a hesitant hacker. But that isn’t the case. EAM Jaishankar is the second longest serving foreign minister after Jawaharlal Nehru, who kept the external affairs portfolio with him, for the entirety of his tenure as the Prime Minister of India.
Congress’s Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor Is Behaving In A Non-Diplomatic Manner
By Congress Party’s Thiruvananthapuram Member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor isn’t at his diplomatic best. He is enmeshed in an unforced dilemma, his mind is wandering and he’s suffering from a bad case of neglect. The Congress high-command is not ready to give him the time of the day! Is the Congress with the death wish or is Shashi Tharoor suicidal? Tharoor’s ‘Boss’ Rahul Gandhi is behaving unapproachable, refusing to even give Tharoor the time of the day.
Fadnavis-Shinde Rift Intensifying Posing Questions About Stability Of Mahayuti
By One need not be obtuse to realize there’s a growing rift between Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the Chief Minister he replaced — Eknath Shinde, who also happens to be Maharashtra’s current Deputy Chief Minister and a man with a penchant for bucking sitting chief ministers like, for example, Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray. Would that be a non sequitur, straying from the core issue, which is that not all is well in the city of Mumbai, where civic elections would soon be held?
Why Did The Prime Minister Loose His Cool When Asked A Question About Adani?
By The only time Prime Minister Narendra Modi lost his equilibrium at the joint press conference with President Donald Trump was when a journalist asked Modi if “Adani” had come up for discussion in the talks with President Trump. Visibly disturbed, Prime Minister told the journalist tersely that when two countries held talks, private individuals do not become subjects for discussion— not in so many words but somewhat in that fashion.
Who Is The Better Deal Maker - Donald Trump Or Narendra Modi?
By Watch out for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s swag when he returns from the United States after his meeting with President Donald Trump.
Why Are Supreme Court Judges Taking Differing Line On Granting Freebies To The People?
By Our Supreme Court is a fountainhead of stories. Even run-of-the-mill non-court reporters often court courts for stories to escape the spectre of a story-less days. Some of the stories are really interesting. Like, on February 12, there was the story of the Supreme Court observing that children of Rohingya refugees living in India had the right to education and healthcare.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi should take up birthright citizenship issue with Trump
A large number of U.S. based Indians will be affected at the recent Presidential order By Sushil Kutty United States President Donald Trump has a pile of “vows”, one to get Gazans to vacate bombed-out Gaza for a Riviera in its place. Another to end birthright citizenship to children born to foreign workers in the USA. Trump is a hated figure in Gaza and Trump isn’t popular among Indian immigrants in San Jose, California.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi Should Take Up Birthright Citizenship Issue With Trump
By United States President Donald Trump has a pile of “vows”, one to get Gazans to vacate bombed-out Gaza for a Riviera in its place. Another to end birthright citizenship to children born to foreign workers in the USA. Trump is a hated figure in Gaza and Trump isn’t popular among Indian immigrants in San Jose, California. Needless to say, Trump is a pain in the ‘you know where’ of millions upon millions of immigrants aiming for American citizenship.
Will Parvesh Varma’s Luck Shine As Next Delhi CM After Defeating Arvind Kejriwal?
By Parvesh Sahib Singh Varma is the newly elected BJP MLA of New Delhi assembly constituency. He defeated AAP convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was also the sitting AAP MLA from the same assembly constituency. Varma’s electoral fight with Kejriwal was a tug of war with Varma matching Kejriwal trick for trick. In some ways Varma even outdid Kejriwal. Like in distributing freebies from the footpath.
Two Sangh Parivar Leaders Pitching To Control The Hindu Way Of Life
By The question looms, what to do with RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat and his subtle form of dictatorship? The RSS Chief with the glowing cheeks is not a pest. Far from being that, Bhagwat is a persistent scratch under the collar, somebody who wants Indians, especially the Hindus, to bend to his will, change themselves to his way of leading life, thrust down their throats. And Mohan Bhagwat doesn’t want anybody Hindu to wear the English collar. Maybe the days of the Freedom Struggle haunt him.
Modi Takes All The Credit For BJP’s Delhi Assembly Victory
By There was only one issue at play, only one man who was a fleck of dust in the eye, Arvind Kejriwal! Prime Minister Narendra Modi was never a player in the Delhi assembly elections. But who will tell that to the Prime Minister? There’s nobody in the BJP with independent charge of his thoughts. Everyone is at Modi’s beck and call and everybody wants to be in Modi’s good books. So, Kejriwal didn’t lose – Modi won! Forget liquor scam, forget Kejriwal’s arrogance, forget Kejriwal’s lies.
Donald Trump Has His Own Unique Ideas On Reconstruction Of Gaza Strip
By United States President Donald Trump has doubled down on his ‘Gaza Plan’, which the United Nations says is ‘unlawful’. Trump’s ‘Gaza Plan’ is ‘loco’, said somebody else, without asking if Trump has a ‘motive’ to go with the ‘loco’, a movable plan? For one thing, the USA is not a banana republic. Even Russia will balk at challenging the United States. China might resort to bluster. The fact remains the United States is a whole different ball game.
Our Prime Minister Has His Unique Ways To Celebrate A Voting Day
By How come Prime Minister Narendra Modi always invariably makes a symbolic statement on Election Day, doesn’t matter where and when the election. Once, he sat in a cave in Kedarnath and meditated with eyes shut to what people thought of the gimmick as long as they saw him though most of his core Hindu vote-bank were willing partners in the “crime” and marked him as a devout Hindu; therefore, deserving their vote.
Kejriwal had anxious moments in his new Delhi constituency on D-Day
AAP’s bid for the third term has become bumpy as BJP fires all guns By Sushil Kutty Did people vote for change in Delhi? The word reverberated the most in the New Delhi assembly constituency, which had the honour of being represented by AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal since before 2015. The former Delhi Chief Minister on the polling day on February 5 had many anxious moments as the voting trend did not give him the confidence like 2020 polls. Don’t blame the Delhi voter.

The former Delhi Chief Minister on the polling day on February 5 had many anxious moment as the voting trend did not give him the confidence like 2020 polls. Don’t blame the Delhi voter.

Will Income Tax Relief In Budget Before February 5 Delhi Polls Help BJP?
By All those with a salary upto Rs 12 lakh per annum can tell Income Tax sharks to get the hell out to sea and not return. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman read out her eighth straight budget speech and beat Morarji Desai’s six-in-a-row record. More importantly, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s prayer to ‘Maa Lakshmi’ didn’t fall on deaf ears! This after Sitharaman wore a Madhubani distraction to the Lok Sabha on February 1 and declared Rs 12 lakh and below annual salary tax-free.
PM Narendra Modi Invokes Maa Lakshmi To Win Delhi Polls For The BJP
By Prime Minister Narendra Modi is sucking up to the gods ahead of his government’s second budget of his third term. The god he chose, but, of course, ‘Maa Lakshmi’, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Somebody spoke of a ‘Hindu goddess’, which is ridiculous because monotheistic religions don’t have goddesses and more than one God! The Budget Session started Friday and Prime Minister Narendra Modi couldn’t but mention ‘Viksit Bharat’.
Campaign For Delhi Assembly Election Gets Bizarre With Poison In Yamuna, Toxins In Air
By “I’ve been looking for answers/I’ve been looking for clues/I couldn’t find it in the paper/Couldn’t find it in the news/Oh there’s poison in the water/Oh there are toxins in the air/Oh it’s got us fighting over nothing/Whoever’s up there doesn’t care….” These are lyrics of a song sung blue by a singer called Aaron Stephens and it fits Arvind Kejriwal’s charge of the Haryana government poisoning the Yamuna water like a glove.

Uttarakhand Finally Announces Implementation Of Uniform Civil Code
By Uttarakhand the other day announced the Uniform Civil Code and the impact was felt in an OIC country, with media outlets there flaying India for targeting its minorities, especially the Muslims, by resetting its “patchwork of different religious personal laws” into a common civil code. So, what is the grouse when the OIC nations answer to and adhere to a common set of laws within their jurisdictions?
In The First One Week Of Presidency, Donald Trump Has Acted As Per His Programme
By United States President Donald J. Trump is in that stage of his life where he must be asking himself, “If not me, who? If not now, when?” And Trump has a powerful platform to get things he wants done, make good the promises he made, which catapulted him to power, for a second time after a gap of four years and much maligning coming his way during those four years on a Florida golf course.
Yogi Adityanath is now the star of BJP’s campaign for Delhi Assembly polls
By Sushil Kutty AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal’s nemesis Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is in town, asking funny questions like will Kejriwal take a bath in the Yamuna? The ‘Yogi’ was in the nation’s capital fresh from a dip in the Ganga-Yamuna-Saraswati ‘Sangam’ in Prayagraj, where the ‘Mahakumbh’ is currently on at a scale never seen before.

It Is Free For All Electoral Battle For Delhi Assembly Between AAP, BJP And Congress
By Arvind Kejriwal is the man to beat in the Delhi Assembly elections. Kejriwal isn’t the spent force one thought after the stint in jail and the ouster from the Delhi Chief Minister’s post. Jail does things to the toughest of people and not everyone has a father of the stature of Motilal Nehru to spring a son out of jail, cut a sentence short with one call to the Gora-Sahib! Arvind Kejriwal, however, is no walkover. Jail didn’t finish him politically.
Donald Trump Keeps His Promises But His Friend Narendra Just Forgets
By There’s a lesson for Prime Minister Narendra Modi in President Donald Trump’s inaugural address on the morning he took the oath to become the 47th President of the United States: Make sure, you keep the promises made to the electorate. President Trump himself did not wait, his slew of executive orders were prompt. Unlike Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is a laggard in keeping poll promises, if at all. A straw poll will tell the grim lie.
