Congratulations @gautam_adani
The US court’s dismissal of the Adani case should be a reminder to all mischief-makers: conspiracies may create noise, but they cannot defeat facts and the rule of law.
It’s also a defeat for the anti-Indian conspirators…
The President has assented to the #VandeMataram Amendment, passed without discussion in Parliament, which requires the singing of the National Song in full at the start and ending of any official function, in addition to the National Anthem.
As one who greatly respects both, and can sing the first two stanzas of the former (but not the other four, which were never required till now) as well as the entire anthem, i would like to point to just one practical consideration our zealots appear to have overlooked: human nature.
"Jana Gana Mana" requires audiences to stand respectfully and focus their attention for a reasonable 52 seconds. The National Song in full takes 3 minutes and 10 seconds. Tamil Nadu has just decided that both will be preceded by the State Song in Tamil for another 2 minutes. Do we really expect audiences to stand still and respectfully for six minutes before and after every function, a total of 12 extra minutes? Can respect and patience be legislated?
I fear that the intent of the Bill, to promote greater respect for the National Song , will not be achieved, but its opposite may well be....

My dear friends at @CNNnews18 Professionalism demands that when you carry an exclusive interview of another channel , Pl attribute to source, in this instance @IndiaToday . By the way in same interview she says in her view BJP is neither a true Hindu nor a true nationalist party and gives her reasoning why . So cherry picking a quote may not quite be fair to @GitanjaliAngmo either.
The day this guy faces the consequences of all the boot licking he has done since a decade, is the day I start believing something like justice exists in this forsaken world.
Troll Congress as much as you want, but don't forget that they never shied away from taking accountability. Former Prime Minister Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri resigned as Railway Minister after two tragic railway accidents. If you don't want to go that far back, here's a more recent example after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, Maharashtra Home Minister R. R. Patil, and Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil resigned from their posts. They accepted accountability instead of blaming the opposition.
