Crying ‘Regime Change’ Proves Modi Govt Has Lost Control: The Ground Has Shifted Something has changed to put the Modi regime under pressure - from the bureaucracy's altered calculus to Dipke's social identity are a big challenge. My piece 👇thewire.in/politics/crying-r…

Crying ‘Regime Change’ Proves Modi Govt Has Lost Control: The Ground Has Shifted

By casting legitimate dissent as existential threat, the BJP has laid bare the realistic prospect of political transition that remains a foundational pillar of any democracy.

ITBP - a special paramilitary tasked to be at the border - alongwith other paramilitaries was inside a central University in the national capital. Just that one thing should make clear what is happening in 2026 India.

हालिया विधान परिषद के चुनाव की मतदाता सूची में एक अजीबोगरीब नाम “राम ने शर्मा को मारा” भी है। कंप्यूटर/सॉफ्टवेयर जातिवादी नहीं है। हमारे द्वारा गलती किया जाना स्वीकार है लेकिन हमारे सौभाग्य से गलती होते समय भी जाति का भेदभाव नहीं हुआ है। भगवान का यह भी शुक्र है की राम ने किसी अल्पसंख्यक को नहीं मारा है। नहीं तो जातिवादी होने के साथ-साथ सांप्रदायिक होने का इल्ज़ाम भी लगता।

Lula has worked another miracle. His task is to make sure Brazil does not need another one.

Historian Romila Thapar, 96, on Sunday (October 25, 2026) argued that colonial historians fundamentally shaped the way Indian history came to be understood, reducing complex social and political processes to simplified religious narratives that continue to influence historical interpretations today and propagate the Hindutva reading of Indian history. ✍️@SobhanaNair thehindu.com/news/national/h…

Hindutva reading builds on colonial interpretations of Indian history: Romila Thapar

Romila Thapar argues colonial historiography shaped Hindutva-era Indian history, urging evidence-based, multi-faceted interpretations beyond religion.

कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष मल्लिकार्जुन खरगे ने आज पटना में मोदी जी के पिताजी के बारे में अभद्र टिप्पणी कर सारी मर्यादाएँ तार-तार कर दी हैं। यह पहली बार नहीं है, जब कांग्रेस पार्टी ने मोदी जी या उनके परिवार को अपशब्द कहे हों। कभी उनकी पूजनीय माताजी के विषय में अपशब्द कहे, कभी उन्हें 'मौत का सौदागर' कहा, तो कभी 'चायवाला' कहकर उनकी गरीबी का उपहास उड़ाया। राहुल गांधी के नेतृत्व में कांग्रेस पार्टी हर रोज अभद्रता की सीमाएँ पार करती जा रही है। बीते 12 वर्षों में लगातार मिल रही चुनावी हार से कांग्रेस पार्टी में हताशा व निराशा इतनी बढ़ चुकी है कि अब उसके पास न कोई नीति बची है, न कोई मुद्दा, बस गाली-गलौज की राजनीति बची है। जनता के बीच जनाधार खो चुकी कांग्रेस, अब अपने कार्यकर्ताओं में भी आधार खोती जा रही है। जब-जब इन्होंने मोदी जी या उनके परिवार पर घृणित टिप्पणियाँ की हैं, तब-तब जनता ने कांग्रेस को करारा जवाब दिया है।
