The magnificent marble mausoleum built during the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, a marvel of medieval Mughal … Read more
Year after year, budgets are praised and criticised. I find all budgets good, as each budget allocates fund for various schemes/programmes. But when it comes to implementation of these schemes in a timely manner, I see miserable failure all around. While many false promises are made by all political parties, people expected a lot from … Read more

Throughout its history of existence, the Modi government has perfectly managed the business of organising lynchings of Muslims, arson, rioting and communal carnages by using a host of RSS-linked feral Hindutva terror organisations, which are called “fringe” by the regime to delink the nefarious nexus that thrives between it and these thugs. The reluctance of … Read more

The essential pre-conditions of nationalism and patriotism, according to the Sangh Parivar and the Modi regime, are absolute and unconditional submission to the might of the Indian military establishment, which consists of the Army, Navy and Airforce.

Abdul Basheer was brutally lynched to death by Hindutva mercenaries in Mangalore not because he had any role to play in the murder of the Hindutva fascist Deepak Rao, the Bajrang Dal goon killed recently in a spat but simply because he was a Muslim. The religious identity that has been the cause of several … Read more

By filing a police complaint against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, the BJP-led communal fascist government of Assam showed the intolerance towards dissent that the Hindutva camp and its lackey bureaucracy suffers from.
