Cigarettes, booze, petrol have long bankrolled Europe’s cradle-to-grave welfare. But with revenues from these sin taxes dropping, finance ministers are hunting for new targets.After sugary drinks, methane-belching cow meat🐄could soon face a special tax economist.com/europe/2025/07…
Honestly, I got nothin' against those poor Americans grabbing their stuff even while trying to escape from a burning plane Middle class folk...just like me...I would likely have done the same Most Americans abhor racism. Just that a bunch of liberals and unemployed MAGA fools…
They are Americans - beyond criticism. And Indians? Alongwith foreign yellow media our yellow The Hindu also loved to criticize. Why was this newspaper named The Hindu?

Most Govt employees are underworked and overpaid with zero accountability. The fact that a Govt job is almost like a free pension scheme from day one with and optional corruption bonus is why Indians waste several years of their life preparing for these exams.
Did you see Americans grabbing their luggage while trying to escape from the plane on fire at Denver airport? Do you remember? In 2016, an Emirates flight from India landing in Dubai caught fire. A video showed Indians grabbing their bags before trying to escape. News outlets…
My article in today’s @timesofindia on the unappetising agenda behind the Bangla language nationalism that is being promoted by the Trinamool Congress. Is West Bengal on the cusp of becoming West Bangladesh?

That's now how it is framed. Islam is the one and only true religion, and just by not accepting it, you are against Islam and thus anything you do is aggression against Islam and Muslims are just defending their faith.
It’s absurd to claim that war in Islam has been defensive. Just look at the map—historically, it was Muslim armies that expanded into other nations, not the other way around. They even reached Spain. Do you really think Spain invaded Mecca?
No 'northie' politician can pull off the veshti like the modi.

Another road collapse. Oh wait, this is in a $80,000 per capita country the size of an Indian city. 2nd one in twenty years. One guy went in. The last time, 4 died. And no Indian media will cover these. No Indian will know their leaking stations, breakdown of trains, flooded…
That partnership was my love for test cricket in a nutshell. The technique, the temperament, the will power — this is true batting mastery. Not slogging devoid of jeopardy on roads. Test cricket >>>
KL Rahul is easily India’s best all-format player. Aesthetically pleasing, technical finesse, blends stodgy defence with silken stroke-play, bats across positions to ensure team balance, competent wicketkeeper. Much like fellow BLRian Dravid, doesn’t receive encomiums he deserves
'Joy Bangla': How This Bengali Slogan Masks Bangladesh's Islamist Core A new book exposes how Bengali linguistic nationalism is a strategic façade to Islamise East Bengal under guise of cultural identity; it never opposed Pakistan but extended its goals swarajyamag.com/books/joy-bang…

kErAlA mOdEl Hardly a surprise that the state itself is quite economically useless. The actual Kerala model is everyone leaving the state to find work elsewhere. Good luck if you want this model in your state.
In Kerala, labour unions don’t just threaten companies. They intimidate ordinary people too. Ever wondered how? They treat labour-oriented jobs as their birthright, refusing to let anyone else do the work. In many cases, business owners and ordinary citizens are forced either to…
