“reading between lines…, a Modi retirement exception is firmly in place, and he will lead the BJP electorally for as long as he wishes”. @bainjal @GNOpinion #succession planning
Retirement at 75? India RSS chief Bhagwat’s comment stirs BJP succession talk & What is the Modi exception the most successful political unicorn in Sangh history Modi & the RSS reset the relationship gulfnews.com/opinion/op-eds…
China and India were never really in the same league after the 1990s. China grew and grew and grew...it kept growing. We grew well for a decade in the 2000s and then fumbled along at the desi rate of growth.
Why China is winning the economic war against India. These are Modi’s children bigoted, illiterate unemployable & have turned thuggery in to a living
Bet if they knew boycotting KFC meant supporting Palestine, they’d devour chicken during Shravan too.
Member of a right-wing group stormed a KFC store in UP's Ghaziabad and forced it pull down shutter demanding ban on non-vegetarian food in the month of Shravan.
Announcement of the new BJP president after August 15. Why is this so contentious between Modi & the RSS. Repeated delay as I wrote in my SWAT analysis on Tuesday

गाजियाबाद के इंदिरापुरम स्थित वसुंधरा इलाके में सावन के महीने में खुले KFC रेस्टोरेंट को लेकर हिंदू रक्षा दल ने विरोध जताया. संगठन के कार्यकर्ताओं ने जबरन रेस्टोरेंट का शटर बंद कराया और कर्मचारियों को धमकाया. पुलिस मौजूद होने के बावजूद कार्यकर्ताओं ने गुंडागर्दी दिखाई, जिससे…
Odia is one of the oldest languages of India. People of #Odisha are very proud of their language and heritage. It’s rather central to their identity. And yet, during my stay of close to three decades here, I’ve never seen anyone mocked or mistreated over language. There’s a…
PM candidate Modi “will arrest Vadra. Rants about “damaadjee”. 11 yrs later 3 term Modi govt files a charge sheet against Vadra which will drag on for years. So Vadra, 2 G scam, commonwealth games scam only “JUMLA” for Modi
PM Modi says will jail Vadra and Hooda, accuses Congress of abusing him Modi had claimed he will arrest Vadra it’s been 11 yrs & now ED files a charge sheet which will drag on for years. So Vadra & anti corruption crusade was a “JUMLA” for Modi business-standard.com/article/electi…

WOW, CBS canned Colbert for speaking truth to power. variety.com/2025/tv/news/c…
Is this a “news channel” still or “fantasy network”? Laser eyes aka Jaishankar had China “begging”. Did this happen?

Ladies & gentlemen the Maharashtra assembly for you. Our legislators who issue “privilege” notices to @kunalkamra88 what would you call this violence?https://t.co/N04qI57jG2
So the Wall Street Journal now comes out with a direct allegation against the Commander of #AI171 which was only insinuated and spoken of in hushed tones earlier. The WSJ report states that “whilst the first officer was panicking, the Captain reacted calmly”. Whilst I still…
Exclusive: The captain of the doomed Air India flight likely switched off fuel flow, a black-box recording indicates, remaining calm while the first officer panicked on.wsj.com/44y4tBA
India fought against any kind of hyphen with Pakistan including the visits by the US Prez & largely succeeded. Failure of the Modi govt to allow this hyphenation again including this Trump trip
JUST IN: President #DonaldTrump will visit Pakistan on September 18 ahead of his scheduled stop in India. A significant diplomatic gesture amid shifting regional dynamics.
An Indian woman tourist spent around 7 hours in a Target shop ( it's a retail chain) in USA. She shoplifts and try to escape. She was caught. Her interrogation by police was recorded. Unable to download the video. Google and see. She was later handcuffed, taken to police station…
I can’t believe this needs to be said. The Mughals were “barbaric” by the the standards of today however, they thought of themselves as Indians & unlike the British rulers did not pillage, plunder and look down upon India as civilisational project. The British were white…
I agree bro: however for starters as @bainjal rightly puts it , PM Modi sir is going nowhere. Infact it can be said, ab ki baar 75 Paar! Second : look it is not cricket, that in the sa innings one cannot bat again! It is politics and what I am focused on is beating the BJP. I…
If Jaiswal gets out, the English team celebrates even if the incoming batsman is also from the Indian team. If Bumrah doesn't play a Test match, the England team would fancy their chances more even if they'll still have an Indian bowler bowling at them.
“India’s broken infrastructure” sorry Indians don’t have a choice on “unbroken spirit” let’s not romanticise the government’s utter failure
After Vadodara’s tragedy, now this from Jharkhand Children in Khunti carry a bamboo staircase to cross a fallen bridge and reach school. A chilling reminder of India’s broken infrastructure and unshaken spirit #BridgeCollapse #JharkhandNews #VadodaraBridge #BambooBridge
Combine this with dubious SIR being carried out by a dodgy Election Commission which has forsaken its credibility & institutional heft. Normally a statutory election body should aid citizens in voting instead of trying to delete millions of voters
All around Delhi demolitions notices are being sent. Met some deeply concerned people this morning. This is what things have come to; the poor pushed out of cities and possibly excluded from voter lists. It’s happening on such a scale that before we know it familiar settlements…
