The Paris attacks have many unanswered questions. The waning support for the US-led coalition in Syria has now turned the corner. They will now have the licence from its citizens to launch naked aggression. All this is to make sure that Russia doesn't become dominant in Middle East. The cost to humanity is going to be incalculable.

Look at the issue of Priyanka Sharma. She circulates a photo-shopped image of Mamata Banerjee, imposed over a latest picture of actress Priyanka Chopra. A complaint is filed and she is sent to 14-day judicial remedy. Mind you, Priyanka Sharma hasn't created the image, only shared it. Yet amongst thousands of such shares, she alone has been made to bear the brunt of suppression.

The Partition gave Pakistan its "freedom." It became a Muslim state. But did the Hindus get their homeland? Why their issues have no takers? Who speaks up for them? The present violence against them in West Bengal is the latest in a long list of criminal silence by all stakeholders when it comes to anyone speaking up for the Hindus.

BJP has so far been patient in dismantling Mamata Banerjee. They need more of such a dose. A rush for the trophy now would hurt them in not-too-distant a future. Mamata is collapsing on her own heap. You don't need a storm when a rustle of air is enough.

Nepal's present crisis has been shaped by its geography--caught between the world's two most populous nations--China and India. China wants to make sure it doesn't become the base for Tibetan rebels. It also doesn't want Nepal to fall into American hands, thereby being encircled. India fears for its citizens settled in Nepal. Importantly, it doesn't want this "buffer" nation to fall to China.

Tharoor threshes out quotes from the works of former RSS supremo M.S. Golwalkar and Deen Dayal Upadhyay to show their disapproval of Indian Constitution. The insinuation is that our holy grail, the Indian Constitution, is not safe under the present dispensation of BJP and its fountainhead, RSS.

There is a reason why India could never expel a foreign enemy. The likes of Alexander, Timur, Abdali or Nadir Shah only withdrew. India was a ripe picking for all and sundry--Shaka, Kushans, Huns, Arabs, Afghans and succeeding invaders. And that's because Indians of then and Indians of now could barely rise above their petty interests. India was and is NOT a single entity in their psychology.

Pavan Varma, a politician and author, gives instances in an article to imply that BJP is promoting sectarian violence, artistic intolerance, rewriting history and imposing public morality.
It bears closer scrutiny.

Royal Indian Navy Mutiny of February 1946 was a momentous event which arguably convinced Britain that holding on to India was no longer tenable. India's historiography completely obscures the event which is a serious indictment of Congress establishment.

India's mainstream media, the so-called Lutyens Media, is hell-bent on polarizing society. All they want is a weak, polarized society rather than a strong, all-inclusive India.
