This is why this debate is essentially a Commie propaganda project. Punjab is lower than Kerala, Haryana is lower than Andhra and Rajasthan is lower than WB. None of them serve eggs
Sad to see mainstream business daily fall for such propaganda and selective representation of data
Most Indians know about the driving logic of the Pakistan Army, which Prof Fair has documented so well in the last decade or so. What’s less clear and more worthy of attention is why despite this both Western govts and the new generation of Western analysts totally overlook it.
This argument has been made by many, including Shekhar Gupta. It falls apart on detailed examination, but a basic smell test will tell you it's false in the first place. Why are Bangladeshis queuing up for Indian medical visas?
Where have all the “Indian economy is in crisis” wallas disappeared? Perhaps in hibernation until the next opportunity for a gratuitous assault presents itself?
North Indians don't name.their kids Subramanian just as south Indians don't name their kids Kanhaiya or Kishan. A person is called Unnikrishnan in Kerala and someone is called Kanha in UP. But they are both named after Krishna. Shiva is called Bholenath in the north and Annamalaiyar in TN but they refer to the same force. Local culture and linguistic influences lend different names in different regions. Our civilization settled these ideas without internet or Twitter
WhatsApp CEO Kunal Shah recently claimed that there is no word for efficiency and productivity in any Indian language because Indians do not value time as much. Is the claim true? Watch the video to find out.
After she was cremated, the Kashmiri Muslims (not the JKLF terrorists alone) came to the cremation ground to stamp on her ashes.
There’s a reason I hate the rhetoric that the ordinary Kashmiri Muslim was also a victim of insurgency. He/She wasn’t. They were benefactors.
"WE ONLY GOT THE PAIN OF SEEING DR MANMOHAN SINGH TREAT A "HINDU KILLER" (YASIN MALIK) LIKE A V.I.P". This is Sarla Bhat's cousin PN Bhat who is lucky to be alive talking about what it means to be a Kashmiri Hindu and watching an inert state complicit in fire walling those who openly bragged about being part of a Hindu genocide in the Kashmir of 1990. The SIA has finally booked Islamist terrorist and separatist Yasin Malik for his alleged role in the conspiracy to torture and kill Sarla Bhat.

For India, this is the first time a privately designed, developed, and manufactured orbital rocket has been stacked on this pad.

Describing Aurangzeb as a “pragmatist” misreads both his policies and their consequences. Measures such as the reimposition of jizya and the tightening of religio-legal authority were not neutral administrative tools but politically meaningful choices that reshaped imperial relationships. Whatever their intended purpose, their effect was structurally destabilizing: they alienated key regional allies, narrowed the empire’s coalition base, and intensified resistance at precisely the moment Mughal governance depended on accommodation and flexibility. Combined with prolonged and costly Deccan warfare, these policies contributed to systemic overextension rather than consolidation. In this light, the “pragmatist” label confuses intent with outcome—the empire did not become stronger or more stable, but more fragmented and harder to govern.
Calling a Trump or Aurangzeb “pragmatist” empties the term: pragmatism implies effective, stabilizing means—not ideologically driven, destructive outcomes.

There is this disease in India where elites attribute to traditions and Hindu culture all the terrible habits we picked up during the socialist decades after independence.
Good example here.
The picture was taken about three years ago. His name is Dipankar. Dipankar Das. He went out for his catering job, after finishing that he was heading home with his mother's favorite ice cream. He didn't know what awaited him. When he returned, he found the charred bodies of his parents. Victims of political violence. It was 2018. This young boy Dipankar went door to door for justice. He started studying law and became a lawyer himself, driven only by the determination to get justice for his parents. Finally, after meeting the Chief Minister, arrests were made after eight long years in Kakdwip case.
