People are beginning to feel NaMo has done lot of heavy lifting and has perhaps maxed out. Time for NaMo's vanaprastha with lots of respect and gratitude, and it's time for next generation to take it forward. No other politician in BJP can come close to Yogi in terms of popular support for 2024. No...

… they are not providing good framework with police/education/judicial reforms. They don't need to be partial but just eliminate anti-Hindu bias, remove biased laws and force reforms. Hindu orgs could create pressure on govt to change curicula. Government needs political incentive and democratic co...

Exactly, KLNM garu. The only argument left for BJP is to say whoever else will be worse than us. And they are counting on Hindu majority buying it. As a telugu saying goes, BJP attitude is like a man cutting off his tongue trying to put balm on his epiglottis. Unfortunately it is not just the BJP a...

@madhu @Rudradev: I accept that the details of the timeline of the NS case raise questions, and there is probably some kind of policy coercion that the “international community” is engaged in. There is an “inside game” that we don’t see and no doubt GoI is playing it. How well, we can only guess, be...

KLNM: The timeline of events in this case is not that straightforward. According to Abhijit Iyer Mitra, the suspension of Nupur Sharma by BJP came a day BEFORE the first of the OIC nations-- Muslim Brotherhood HQ Qatar-- lodged its official protest. Still not a great look for BJP (if they were goin...

KLNMurthy

Did all of you notice in the massive global indignation on Nupur Sharma's comments there is ZERO discussion on the actual comments itself? The muslims claim it's an insult and the RoW accepts it on face value without ever questioning WHY is it an insult. That's the trick BJP missed, and many others...

KLNMurthy

… Given that position , Nupur saying something that wasn't pre-approved is like a soldier or a JCO going rogue on his own initiative, regardless of orders. It doesn't matter how brave or heroic that JCO's actions may be. Disregarding orders threatens operational security by adding an unexpected ele...

From Foreign Affairs magazine, by US Security honcho Lisa Curtis: India’s Last Best Chance: Choosing the West Over Russia Could Make New Delhi a Great Power Along with the Belgian article, it seems like this is the next round of pressure-by-media on India to sign up with the West against its own int...

worth every minute - annamalai's english interview with aravindan neelakandan FnzUeqRLQDY Annamalai fanboy interview!! His next step is to be the CM of Tamil Nadu and bring about a renaissance for folks in TN from the dark ages of ThiMuKa family rule. Very impressive. I feel Annamalai is PM material.

I believe accounting of such things may come at the conclusion of the war, if the pow happens to be on the losing side. With tribunals and so on.

If on the winning side, nothing will happen.

Cyrano wrote:What an assault on intelligence that article is!

OT but we might be surprised as to how effective NYT remains. A lot of otherwise intelligent people outsource their thinking to NYT based on prestige alone.

Intelligence may matter less than prestige and social status.

Any leader who espouses a different set of values and world view to the 'west' and doesn't shy from simply being who they are, ie doesn't care for west's approval is intolerable for the west.

@chetak lot of points there, but I’ll suggest one thing: Maybe one reason for the rise-with-a-vengeance of BIF forces is that Modi sarkar broke the old formula of “integrating rebels into the democratic framework” by reducing the level of high-level corruption. The old formula offered the possibilit...

@chetak I don’t want to go OT, but we should understand the reality of how India (read Delhi) deals(dealt) with separatist or potentially -separatist movements like the Dravidian one, or the Maoist one, Kashmir, or almost anything we may think of. It’s part confrontation & part co-optation, appe...
