I write this with sadness as much as anger. Yes, like every Indian citizen, I am extremely angry at what happened in Pulwama — the killing of 40 CRPF jawans has wounded a nation, left us outraged and crying out for revenge. Let’s be in no doubt: the terror that struck Pulwama emanated from Pakistan. The suicide bomber may have been Kashmiri — but his engine room was in the Jaish headquarters in
You may have learnt from the media that my appeal for quashing the false FIR against me filed by the Pune Police was rejected yesterday (14 January) by the Supreme Court. Fortunately, it gave me to four weeks to seek pre-arrest bail from the competent court. Up till now I felt confident that whatever charges the Police levied could be proved as criminal fabrication once they landed before the
Shweta Bhatt, the wife former IPS officer Sanjiv Bhat, who has been facing the wrath of the government after he exposed the then state government’s involvement in 2002 Gujarat carnage, has written an open letter warning every Indian citizen against the brutality of the government.

Respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji: I'm not only hopeful but certain that this will find you hale and hearty. I always pray for your good health and wish that your limitless energy remains intact. The scope of this letter is very limited.

If Gauri Lankesh read all the tributes and accolades for her, particularly those that refer to soul and afterlife and heaven, she’s have had a good laugh. Well maybe not a laugh, but at least a chuckle. We had decided in our teens that heaven and hell and afterlife were a lot of b.s. There was enough heaven and hell on earth, and we should just leave god alone – he has enough on his hands –
Today is the day that I finally say ENOUGH! Enough of the judgment, enough of the stigma, enough of the prejudices, enough of whatever you say about what you clearly know nothing about! People like me have had enough of you talking about what’s going on with us like you scholars of the internet, know everything about it. You call us dangerous, irrational, impulsive, and the worst of it all, a word
Dear Mr. Hanumanth Kamath, Hope this letter finds you in the best of health. I was surprised yesterday to read a WhatsApp message attributed to your Facebook page in which you have expressed your views on the issue of renaming of St. Aloysius College Road. In these days of rampant proliferation of fake news and fake social media posts, I also took the trouble to visit your Facebook page confirm
