A high powered judicial commission should be appointed to investigate & prosecute the malcontents in the administration & Bano govt who made joke of our borders to change the demographics of the country. It should be treated as an act of treason
Some victories transcend litigation. They restore memory.
The Bhojshala judgment stands as a tribute to the enduring legacy of Raja Bhoj — one of India’s great civilizational monarchs.
Our recent book sought to reintroduce his remarkable world to contemporary readers.
Happy to present my books on the Chola Empire and the Gupta Empire — two of the most remarkable imperial powers in Indian history.
From the mighty naval power of the Cholas in the South to the imperial brilliance of the Guptas along the Gangetic plains, these books attempt to present a deeper understanding of their governance, administration and enduring legacy through inscriptions, literature and other historical sources.
Beyond myths and internet claims — some actual facts about the Sri Vimana of Thanjavur Rajarajeswaram. It is Agama, symbolism and engineering carved in stone.

In Tamil Nadu, the BJP being in power at the centre has been used by essentially all the parties to demonize them. The DMK made "attack Modi" as their only plank. EdappadiDMK (that is the correct name) would have done the same thing if the Congress had switched over to them. In Tamil, we call this பூச்சாண்டி காட்டுதல் - like my grandmother would tell me as a kid "that tree next to the pond has a ghost that will catch you, so don't go near it" to keep me away from swimming in the pond! Modi is their favorite பூச்சாண்டி.
So when someone parrots the line "we want to keep the BJP out of Tamil Nadu", they are saying "we don't want competition for our cozy duopoly", not some deep principle. The BJP has been in alliance in AP and Pondicherry and those states are doing fine, they are making excellent progress. Yet TN is supposedly "different".
The "difference" was the BJP getting into alliance with these same parties (EDMK or DMK) that want to openly or secretly suppress them in TN.
What is the way ahead? Find good youthful passionate leadership that are willing to fight the good fight long term. Focus on building up the party from the grassroots. Ignore all the பூச்சாண்டி business. Do not align with anyone who claims "TN is different". TN is Bharat. We have to fight this subterranean separatism.
Annamalai was making progress but he needed a lot more time. He was creating a genuine political movement, he invited youth to be active in politics and he had massive engagement.
I would have volunteered for this assignment too (I love building up from zero!) but I am neck deep in tech and Bharat needs deep tech. So not in this life time. To be very clear, I will state my political views (my right to free speech) but I will not be in active politics.
I hope all our educated citizens do engage in this political debate and express their opinions, but let us all do it RESPECTFULLY.
I hope the nightmare that TN is entering is shortlived.
I hope we become the next Bengal soon enough.
I hope the Gods that bless this good land show us the way.
I hope...
🤞
