Sagarika Ghose argues that the BJP has relied on coercive politics ("Saam, Daam, Dandabhed"), central investigative agencies, and public humiliation of opposition leaders. She also alleges that the 2026 West Bengal Assembly election was influenced by large-scale voter deletions and Election Commission actions, describes the post-election defection of TMC leaders as a moral failure, criticizes recent police encounter killings, and strongly defends Mamata Banerjee's leadership. These are her political opinions and allegations, not findings established by a court or officially accepted as fact.
A balanced evaluation is that the interview raises important democratic concerns—such as electoral transparency, the independence of institutions, treatment of political opponents, and accountability for police actions. These are legitimate subjects for public scrutiny in any democracy. However, claims of election rigging, misuse of agencies, or institutional bias require independent evidence and due process before they can be treated as established facts. At the same time, governments and constitutional institutions also bear the responsibility of ensuring transparency so that public confidence in elections and the rule of law is maintained.
In a healthy democracy, neither unquestioning acceptance nor outright dismissal of such allegations serves the public interest. The appropriate response is independent investigation, transparent institutions, and evidence-based debate rather than political rhetoric alone.

जिंदगी और मौत का सवाल है क्योंकि जिस दिन यह सब खत्म हो गए पेड़ उसे दिन ऑक्सीजन के लिए पैसे देने होंगे।
जिस तरह पानी की बोतल के लिए पैसे देते हैं। फिर दुकानों पर ऑक्सीजन के सिलेंडर मिलेंगे।

Non-Vedic, non-Brahmin progressive weddings are the new trend in India.

ISRO से 100 से ज्यादा वैज्ञानिकों के इस्तीफे की खबर है?
रॉकेट, सैटेलाइट और गगनयान जैसे अहम प्रोजेक्ट्स से जुड़े थे कई वैज्ञानिक? Ndtv
क्या इसे भी गोदी मीडिया मस्टर स्ट्रोक बताएगा?
India is truly astonishing.
The person whose resignation is being demanded through a 20-day hunger strike without food or water is himself eating from a gold plate.
India's Education Minister is Dharmendra Pradhan.
He is eating from golden utensils.
On one side is Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on a hunger strike without food or water for 20 days demanding the resignation of this very Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan.
Sonam Wangchuk has now become extremely weak; his ribs have started to show.
Mr. Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan doesn't seem to care who is demanding his resignation !
Punjabi Hindus are not bihari or chapri like ugly @kushal_mehra

The Patriot India Forgot: The Story of Prof. G.D. Agrawal
Imagine this.
An 86-year-old engineer.
Former IIT Kanpur professor.
PhD from UC Berkeley.
The first Member-Secretary of India's Central Pollution Control Board.
A man who spent his entire career protecting India's environment.
This was Prof. G.D. Agrawal, later known as Swami Gyan Swaroop Sanand.
He wasn't against development.
He wasn't fighting an election.
He wasn't seeking fame.
He wanted one thing: a living Ganga—not just a clean-looking Ganga, but a river with uninterrupted natural flow.
When governments celebrated ambitious river-cleaning projects, Prof. Agrawal warned that a river cannot be saved by sewage plants alone if dams, excessive diversion and ecological destruction continue.
His weapon was not violence.
It was science.
And when science failed to convince power, he turned to the oldest democratic tool available to an ordinary citizen—a peaceful hunger strike.
He wrote repeatedly to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking dialogue.
He waited.
No meaningful engagement on his demands came.
His fast continued.
Day after day.
Finally, after 111 days without food, he died on 11 October 2018.
Pause for a moment.
If one of India's most accomplished environmental scientists could die while pleading for a conversation about the Ganga, what does that say about how we treat informed, peaceful dissent?
Today, we hear endless claims, advertisements and political slogans about river conservation.
But how many of us know the story of the man who dedicated—and ultimately gave—his life for the Ganga?
Whether you support the government or oppose it is your choice.
But democracy demands something more important than loyalty to any political party: the courage to ask questions.
Did massive spending on the Ganga address all the ecological concerns raised by experts like Prof. Agrawal?
Were scientific warnings given the attention they deserved?
Could a dialogue have saved both a life and strengthened public trust?
These are legitimate questions in any healthy democracy.
The tragedy of Prof. G.D. Agrawal is not only that a great scientist died.
It is that millions of Indians never even heard his story.
A nation that remembers slogans but forgets its scientists risks losing both its rivers and its conscience.
Don't accept any narrative—government's, opposition's, or mine—without questioning it. Read. Verify. Think critically. That is the first duty of a free citizen.
