An "Islam-friendly" gym is reportedly set to open in Kerala, with guidelines that include banning music and requiring modest attire for women.
The announcement has ignited a wider conversation: Where should the line be drawn between faith-based preferences and shared public spaces?
Hindu Fund supported Kerala based @AVSKerala which has assisted 8000 victims of ‘Love Jihad’ with counselling, education, and reintegration into society.

Ambedkar was a genius. He had a level of clarity that few, if any, in his age or even now can match. And then I watch this idiot and think - Babasahib deserved better than watching these retards hijack his name.
A must listen brilliant video. On what is Dharma -- the law of universe. Jr. Stalin..first listen to this video..then say if you can eradicate Sanaathan Dharma..🤦
Cleaning my old papers I got this one. This sent me down the memory lane. Indian express days. How a single newspaper of Goenka had brought the mightiest govt since independence to its knees. Arrest. Bofors expose, persecution but battle royal. Express was etched in Rajiv's mind
Indeed! To conflate a Rasgulla with an Idli is not just a culinary error; it is a profound cosmological misunderstanding.
To begin with, the comparison is practically a biological impossibility. She is comparing chhena (the delicate, squeaky, pristine curd of milk) with a meticulously fermented batter of parboiled rice and black gram (urad dal). Their compositions are from entirely different kingdoms. One is an airy, spongy lattice designed to trap light sugar syrup; the other is a dense, wholesome, steamed matrix of complex carbohydrates and proteins. Their taste, consistency, structural integrity, and existential purpose share absolutely nothing in common.
But more important, her attempt to dismiss the Idli as merely a blank canvas for sugar syrup does a grave disservice to what is arguably one of the greatest engineering marvels of the culinary world.
The Idli is not a mere "bland cake." It is a masterclass in biotechnology. To achieve the perfect Idli is to balance the delicate microflora of wild fermentation over a cold night, resulting in a steamed cloud that is a triumph of gut health, lightness, and nutritional balance. It is a savoury monolith of South Indian culinary genius, perfectly engineered to absorb the sharp tang of a well-spiced sambar or the fiery depth of a molaga-podi (gunpowder) paste infused with cold-pressed sesame oil or nutritious melted ghee.
To suggest an Idli would even consent to being drowned in sugar syrup is to fundamentally misunderstand its dignity.
If this lady finds Rasgullas overrated, argue that on the merits of their sponginess or sweetness. But please, leave the noble, perfectly fermented, steamed majesty of the Idli out of your dessert-table polemics, ma'am!
बेनेट यूनिवर्सिटी ग्रेटर नोएडा में लड़कियों का गिरोह जूनियर्स को रैगिंग के नाम पर बुरी तरह पीट रहीं है। थप्पड़ मार रहे, गालियां दे रहे, परिवार की इज्जत तक पर सवाल उठा रहे।
ये शिक्षा नहीं, गुंडागर्दी है। प्रशासन और पुलिस फौरन एक्शन ले, वरना ये कल्चर पूरे कैंपस को बर्बाद कर देगा।
In the 1980s, most IITians would go abroad. In 1989, when I graduated from IIT Madras, I remember feeling extremely dejected about our country. Punjab, Kashmir and Assam were all burning.
My heart was not in engineering. I was mostly reading books in Economics and Philosophy - we had a good library. The burning question in my mind was "Why are we so poor?"
Some of my classmates and I wrote an article in the IIT campus newspaper in late 1988-early 1989 (there were two newspapers, Focus and Spectator, and I believe we published in Focus, they were reproduced using "cyclostyling" machines - please look them up!).
In my vague recollection, the thrust of the article was that the IIT system was failing to serve the needs of the country and the country itself was facing a profound stagnation (I wish I could get that article now - a copy may be in some dusty basement in IIT). I want to know what I thought and said as a 21 year old in 1989 that I agree with and what I disagree with today.
By 1989, I had become a committed anti-socialist, having lived through the socialist stagnation of India. By 1989, the collapse of the Soviet Union was on, and China was in turmoil - the Tinananmen student protests and their forced suppression.
By 1991, India needed an emergency IMF loan. The 1991 economic reforms by Shri Manmohan Singh happened due to pressure from the IMF. So you can imagine the mood in 1989.
That was the India I left in 1989. I was feeling miserable to leave but hopeless to stay. In 1990, I came home for a visit and thought of dropping out of my PhD and staying home. I was home sick.
I started to study Singapore and Japan during 1990-94 in my PhD years - the "Why are we so poor" question. By 1994, I decided I would be in the private sector and took up an R&D job in Qualcomm.
Professor Kamakoti works in deep tech: micro-processor design. He is the Director of IIT-Madras, the best technological institution in India. He serves in the NSAB.
He richly deserves the honour.
I have defended him on scientific grounds and I will do so again: cow dung and cow urine have excellent microbiome that could be valuable for humans.
It is the slavish colonial mindset that thinks these are not scientific propositions worthy of investigation. Some day, when Harvard or MIT publish a study on this, these enslaved minds would worship that as the gospel truth.
Shri M Jagadesh Kumar and Professor V Kamakoti are stalwarts of Indian education.
They have made unparalleled contributions to transform our educational landscape. Prestigious Padma is a just recognition for their passion, contribution and lasting impact to shaping our education ecosystem. Intellectuals like them are India’s pride. Matter of great honour for me to work closely with these educationists. Grateful to Hon’ble @rashtrapatibhvn and Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji for recognising and rewarding grassroots heroes who are redefining education.

#WATCH | Delhi | Advocate Rahul Tyagi, Special Public Prosecutor for NIA, says, "Today we opened our case for the prosecution in the PFI leadership case. So the case against PFI and its leadership is that they organised this organisation to radicalise Muslim youth with a view to establishing a caliphate in India and to establish Sharia law. For that, they were organising camps, giving them training in arms, radicalising them, training them to wage Jihad against India. And for that, they were collecting funds. They were trying to procure arms from the neighbouring countries and give arms training. And they were also sending their cadre to Syria to learn tactics from ISIS so that they can be implemented in India. So these are the main allegations. They had organised specific hit squads which were keeping a list of BJP, RSS and VHP leaders, and they were conducting surveillance on them... The next date of hearing is 23rd."
