SHARE Wednesday, August 15, 2018 Hindus first lose lives; and then the narrative
History remembers the day as the 'Direct Action Day" or the "The Week of Long Knives." On July 29, 1946, Muslim League leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah had made a call for "Direct Action"--a call to all Muslims in the country--to mark its rejection of the constituent assembly and to demonstrate to British and Congress that a separate nation called Pakistan alone could offer them security.

The editorial writer thinks it's an "excessive claim" that the skeletons were of a couple and that the institution of marriage was developed in the Indus Valley civilization. The editorial says the "pre-history is a land of maybes." The piece ends with an absolute horror: "There's no ruling out of the possibility that they (the skeletons) were just good friends. Or an aunt and her nephew."

Indian Express is breathless in rubbishing the recent speech of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Parliament that "democracy in India wasn't the work of Pt. Nehru... but that it was in ragon (veins) of Indians." In last one week, Ashutosh Varshney and D.N. Jha have hogged its edit pages to sneer at the Prime Minister and swoon at Pt. Nehru as the reason India has democracy.

Cow-protectors in India are being targeted even though the animal has been venerated for ages. Law-breakers need to be punished but to link cow-protection as a veiled policy of ruling BJP party is mocking at history.

I expect a political storm over Leila, a six-part TV serial on Netflix, the first season of which went on air last week.
The serial which has Huma Qureshi as the central character is Hinduphobic and foresees India becoming a totalitarian regime, priming itself for a genocide in the name of purification

Indian Express has published an article on the possible misuse of the Aadhaar card by former employees of Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). The story is a non-starter.

The propagandists don't realize that running down India's magnificent heritage isn't palatable to majority in this country. Time is not far when this majority would come out and say, "To hell, with your secularism."

The one fall-out of all this, including trade barriers ratcheted up by both US and India, is Modi government swinging back appreciably into the China-Russia zone. India has this strategic advantage where countries are looking to wow India rather than the other way around. However, India-US relations for the moment are several notches down than they have ever been since Trump came to power.

Please don't move on only because Supreme Court has dismissed a "fake" petition stating that Rahul Gandhi has been a British citizen in the past. The matter is hot as coal.

Not Rajnath Singh. No Nitin Gadkari. India's third most powerful minister in the present dispensation -- besides the obvious duo of Modi-Shah -- is Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, a career diplomat turned foreign minister.

Sonia Gandhi, much like Caesar's wife, has been above reproach.
That's astounding. I mean nobody has been the president of 134-year-old Congress longer than her (19 years); she got her party two consecutive Lok Sabha victories; a whole lot of scams were unearthed; yet not a word against her.

Politically, Modi is the brightest hope in hundreds of years who could restore Hindu's pride and injustices of a millennium. The next Sun won't appear on the horizon anytime soon. India-breakers would've been rewarded for their shameless lies and ruthlessness. And ironically the blame would rest with Modi.

Now that Modi has written a blog on the socialist leader Ram Manohar Lohia on his 110th birth anniversary (March 23), the Indian newspapers have chosen to publish the reactions of the opposition rather than give ample space to the blog content.

Modi's words must be hot oil in the ears of Indian Express loyalists. I don't know whether they cried for help since neither of the two Indian Express interviewers (Ravish Kumar and Raj Kamal Jha) could challenge Modi's verbal onslaughts.

The largest human gathering in human history began in Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj today (January 15, 2019) and our English mainstream media don't like it.
Times of India does have a front-page image but the rest were too worried about Alok Verma and Kanhaiya Kumar to bother about 150 million people visiting Kumbh Mela between January 15-March 4, 2019.

Communal fires are being fanned in India by the same Left-Liberal-Media nexus which is determined that Hindus don't gain their identity. It was a project in which British excelled during their 200-year reign over "colony" India. The plot is to show Hindus as aggressive and a threat to minorities and reap a harvest from the consequent turmoil.

Swami Dayanand Saraswati, whose death anniversary falls this week (October 30, 1883), deserves attention from all Indians. If Mahatma Gandhi is "Father of the Nation", Swamiji has been called "The Grandfather of the Nation" by no less than a Speaker of our Parliament; President Radhakrishnan termed him the "Maker of Modern India"; Swami Vivekananda was inclined to place him alongside Kabir, Nanak and Chaitanya.
