The book sounds just fascinating dear @ghazalawahab and it was a pleasure to attend the launch.
The wait is over! #TheHindiHeartland by @ghazalawahab is finally launched! A compelling journey through politics, power, and identity in the heart of India—this book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the forces shaping our democracy.
If the SIR in Bihar is not stayed, it is going to become an all-India model for future polls. This will rewrite the electoral rolls and rules and create a permanently disenfranchised group of second grade citizens. My conversation with @_sabanaqvi on SIR. youtu.be/q1ksBZ1SYn0?si…
Israelis are protesting genocide in their own country. I think the Indian govt should give instructions to police to permit peaceful protests against the horror in Gaza. We are looking strange and foreign media is asking what is it about India and Israel. We are repositioning…
So much talk in political class about what to do with NitishKumar. His party base would also be impacted by SIR. No Heir but getting SIR.
My column. As happened to Naveen Patnaik, an ailing Nitish Kumar is short of a political heir—The great unknown in Bihar politics. Bihar, between SIR and heir frontline.thehindu.com/columns/bihar-…
Golden Globe Winner Toni Collette: "Gaza is Starving, Words won't feed them, Sanction Israel" 👏🏼
Superb series @newslaundry and just shows how selfish our elites are. The pavement belongs to all

My point here is simple. He is anti farmer and should be opposed as such
All the newspapers this morning have a picture of RS Deputy Chairperson Harivansh with Prez Murmu. Clearly he would be lobbying for the post of VP. Remember the disgraceful moment in Parliament history when he rammed through farm laws in Rajya Sabha! That’s him.

What do we learn from Dhankar episode. As long as he was muzzling institutions he was acceptable, a few independent moves and he apparently rubbed govt “wrong way” according to news reports.
An Israeli soldier: “We’re looking for babies, but there are no babies left. I killed a girl, she was 12—but I’m looking for a baby.” — And yet the West still tries to paint this as “the most moral army. Meanwhile, This is the reality of these blood hungry peoples
Our powerful @Daily_Express front page for tomorrow. The brutal suffering in Gaza must end. The shocking image shows Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq, one, who weighs the same as three-month old baby due to the humanitarian crisis following the continued blocking of basic aid…
Sometimes I wonder: Was it all an illusion? Was there ever such a thing as a humanity that ensured a universal & categorical rejection of hunting children for sport? Because if it was, why do we react so differently to the daily images of Palestinian children being genocided?

I think BIG EGO was at the centre of what transpired. Not the PM’s but #Dhankar. I know opposition is being kind today but VP was pompous, unfair to the Opposition, full of his own importance. That’s why he could do anything in future—-in service of ego.
Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar Ji has got many opportunities to serve our country in various capacities, including as the Vice President of India. Wishing him good health. श्री जगदीप धनखड़ जी को भारत के उपराष्ट्रपति सहित कई भूमिकाओं में देश की सेवा करने का अवसर मिला है। मैं उनके उत्तम…
Dhankar is 74 years old so maybe he decided to follow the 75 year retirement advisory a year in advance ! Just kidding of course for those who do not understand sarcasm.
Coming Soon Satyapal Malik Part 2 and will #Dhankar also spill many beans? Forget movies this is the real Jaat &Jaat👊🏽👊🏽
