In the NYT list of 'Population Control, Marauder Style' Aurangzeb is listed at No. 23, responsible for the death of 4.6 mln, well below Ghengis Khan and Mao (40 mln each) but more than the Crusades (3 mln) and the American Civil War (0.7 mln) put together.

With a council of ministers that has both S. Jaishankar and Pratap Chandra Sarangi, perhaps it is time to leave behind the old uprising based on English-speaking skills etc and enter an age where the only thing that counts is ability, sincerity and honesty - clearly the govt has.

'Brahmins obstruct India's development'. This is what the person leading the attack on Akshaya Patra, the world's biggest successful mid-day meal scheme, wrote. Is this why she hates vegan/vegetarian food which is celebrated world over? @TVMohandasPai

The story of Nambi Narayanan should go down as one of the most powerful recent lessons of how deep state Indians are working overtime, and all the time, against the interests of the country. It is amazing that there isn't massive public uproar about this terrifying story.

Mark my words - if Jamshedpur is taken away from Tata administration and given to the Jharkhand govt, it will immediately become the sort of dirty, criminal hell most Indian cities are. It is the Tatas who keep Jamshedpur world-class.

Tata's 99-year-old clout over Jamshedpur could end soon

A PIL has demanded that Jamshedpur be taken out of the control of the Tatas, and handed over to an elected body.

World over the virtues of vegan food are being celebrated everyday but in Karnataka, a gang of 'activists' are trying to destroy the world's biggest, most successful mid-day meal scheme, Akshaya Patra, because it is pure vegetarian. What a scandal. Hope Akshaya Patra fights back.

Yes, firecrackers cause some air pollution but on its own this would be negligible and only for a day or so. But with the continuous stubble burning and vehicular pollution, it becomes a major problem. So why don't we stop crop burning and fossil fuels than target fire crackers?

It should never be forgotten in any debate that India is the only country in the world which did not respond militarily when its parliament was attacked AND when its financial capital was attacked. No country has, or can, or will, show such patience. That patience has run out.

If the US had the photo of its ambassador to any country and other diplomats on billboards asking for them to be killed and offering $10,000 for their home addresses, what would it do? This is what has been happening for months now to Indian diplomats in Canada.

India just escalated tensions by suspending visa services in Canada. A responsible power would have taken no further action and sought diplomatic negotiations when/if possible. I know this plays well domestically in India, but the world is watching too.

India is the only country in the world where you will find people who are strident and vocal advocates of EU unity but Indian disunity. Basically, unity to retain summer holiday visa advantages, BUT disunity to assist insidious political shenanigans back at home. How bizarre.

From the moment the disastrous Kerala floods struck, almost on cue a drumroll began pitching Kerala against the rest of the country and suggesting that supposedly other nations care more about Kerala than the rest of India. This is insidious, vicious and completely orchestrated.

:-) It is almost funny how little India is understood - this Communist Party of India got 3 seats of 543 in the last national elections. This time might be lower. And this rally has nothing to do with national polls. This is a CPI(M) rally against the Bengal state govt of TMC.

India has a Stalin Society of India. ‘Respected’ teachers are part of it. At the most conservative estimate, Stalin murdered, between the gulag and famine, around 8 million people. In which other country in the world would this escape intense scrutiny and criticism?

Powerful essay showing the connections between the Sri Lanka bombings, the Saudi-funded National Thowheed Jamath, its leader Zaharan Hashim and the fugitive Zakir Naik. Is India listening?

Sri Lanka bombings carry a stark message for India

The main group behind the bombings, the National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ), is an ideological offspring of the rapidly growing, Saudi-funded Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath (TNTJ)
