Chabahar deal affords India a rare opportunity in its history to go beyond its geographical limitations. It could open up vistas to Middle East and Central Asia and even extend up to Russia.

Controversial Congress leader Saifuddin Soz launched his book in the Capital on Monday. Two things were of interest to average Indians: (a) Would Congress be seen in public with the leader who echoes secessionists' voices; (b) Would Congress respect the popular sentiment and punish its key man in the Kashmir Valley. But the event only confirmed the suspicions.

N. Ram published a front-page report on Rafale nonsense under his byline, producing an image of a "page" that is cropped, and is stonewalling questions on why he indulged in this grave scurrilous journalism of the yellow kind. (The newspaper in a bid to cover its track has published the "uncropped image" of the page in its Saturday edition--a classic case of attending a memorial after you've fired the bullets.)

Centre has rushed tens of thousands of paramilitary forces to Assam lest violence breaks out in the north-eastern state after the second draft of National Register of Citizens (NRC) is released on July 30. The first draft had embraced 1.9 crores out of 3.9 crores as legal citizens of the state.

Since the heady, though unholy, mix of Congress-JD(S) in Karnataka eight months ago, all Congress has done is to annoy the heavyweight regional satraps of the country.

A lead story in India's mainstream English daily, Indian Express, has no link with the content it carries. Such is the desperation to carry out the agenda against the ruling Modi government.

I want to bring you a capsule of jibes and insults smeared on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and name them who mocked his foreign visits so in his second term, you remember them for poisoning your mind.
These are politicians, media houses, academicians and intellectuals who ought to be ashamed but never would now that the Pulwama aftermath has shown the world standing as one behind India against Pakistan sponsored-terrorism.

Angoorlata Deka, the newly elected BJP MLA from Batadroba constituency in Assam, has made front-page headlines with her oath in Sanskrit language. The newspapers are shocked at her audacity for don't we all have given up the language as dead?
Our ignorance deserves a reality check. Sanskrit is one of the 22 languages listed in a Schedule to the Constitution. It's the official language in the state of Uttarakhand.

It's without bitterness or rancour that I point out how the rotten media--both Indian and Western--keeps the "Dead Man Walking," that is, Indian National Congress.

The Indian Congress political party has been completely neutralized by the BJP( Bharatiya Janata Party)in recent state elections. That makes the claim of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)of a "Congress-Mukt-Bharat (Congress-free India) a real one.

While Congress and Left roll together in the bed for the 2019 General Elections, the love birds of today bear little resemblance to the two fighting crows of 1959.
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had then dismissed the first elected government of Kerala scandalously, putting aside all norms of democratic conventions and as facts were to emerge later, not a little with the help of CIA and its funding.

Newspapers would speculate on the "allegations" whether the Chief Justice of India ought to be impeached or not but you would never see them beat one's own brains whether the four "dissenting" SC judges have themselves invited an impeachment motion on their press conference earlier this year (as opined by former SC judge RS Sodhi).

An early call in the day would be taken by Election Commission if Rahul Gandhi indeed could contest the 2019 general elections after scrutinizing his nomination papers in Amethi. Separate complaints filed in this regard claim that Rahul Gandhi had declared himself a British citizen in the United Kingdom in 2004. As per the Representation of People's Act 1951, an individual who is not an Indian citizen can't contest elections.

India generates 62 million tonnes of trash every year by its nearly 400 million people living in urban India, now the world's third-largest garbage accumulator. The World Bank sees a 240-percent rise in it by 2026. Now hold your breath (pun intended); nearly 45 million tonnes of it is untreated. Put it this way, it amounts to nearly 3 million trucks that, if laid in a row, would span halfway between the earth and the moon.

His swooning and gushing crowd in India would go berserk now that Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan has acknowledged his country has terror groups and that the "Naya Pakistan" wouldn't allow them to function with impunity on its soil. They wouldn't bother to seek "proof and evidence" of this resolve unlike Balakot.

It's not the first time--the Lutyens' media never nails down Rahul Gandhi on his lies. Mr Gandhi knows he can lie with impunity and the English MSM would gush and swoon. There was never a word against his mother Sonia Gandhi for over two decades. NOT ONE WORD. There is none against Rahul Gandhi in the last five years. You can watch this video of Jaitley's speech of Wednesday and judge for yourself.

There's been much hue and cry in world media over India's denial to Uyghur leader Dolkun Isa a visa to India for a conference in Dharamshala. The critics term it as bowing down to China's wishes. But is it weakness or prudence? What if China also starts hosting India's rebels from northeast and Kashmir?
