Pls change the name of your red rag and the masthead. Shockingly ‘communal’ both. Masthead shows Nandini the divine cow and Airavata with a conch, the sacred symbol of Maha Vishnu at the heart of undivided India. How ‘Sanghi’ is that! Replace it with hammer and a sickle.

The TN Chief Minister,
@mkstalin
has displayed an exemplary sense of national duty in his handling of the tragic chopper crash killing India's CDS, Bipin Rawat. Rushing to the spot instantaneously, he has been up and front handling the ground response.👏
TN CM MK Stalin along with senior officials were briefed by IAF officers on the tragic incident near Conoor.
Earlier TN CM Stalin paid respects to General Bipin Rawat and 12 others who lost their lives in the chopper crash.
I do think as a former Union Finance & Home Minister, Mr P.Chidambaram should set an example and cooperate with the investigating agencies, prove that he's done no wrongdoing. Else, what's the difference between him and Vijay Mallya or Nirav Modi, who are fugitives from justice?
Delhi: Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has put up a notice outside the residence of P Chidambaram to appear before them in the next two hours. Earlier today, Delhi High Court had dismissed his both anticipatory bail pleas in connection with INX Media case.
The journalists sitting there should have collectively walked out when it was clear that the Prime Minister was insulting our democracy by refusing to answer questions by the press! Where indeed was his sense of accountability?

Answer the question. Why haven't you questioned Modi on Electoral Bonds? Tweets after tweets fawning over Modi's "shrewdness". Rest of the time targeting opposition. No guts to question those in power. You should be ashamed of yourself. I have more ethics than you can fathom.
This is misplaced outrage by celebrities uninformed of the facts underlying the farmers protest & Govt pushback. It's a revolt led by rich farmers resisting reforms that open up agriculture further to the market economy. Hardly a jolt to Indian democracy!
What I find deeply disturbing in the responses of

Nothing unusual about carrying political ads in newspapers during elections & no departure from the usual practice by parties to place ads in print & electronic media. As all media do, we carry ads of all political parties routinely. There’s nothing to dramatise or bemoan here!

, you’re missing the wood for the trees as is your usual wont. The point is that for the South & Tamil Nadu in particular, learning another Indian language is not helpful when we have English as our link language! We’ve done very well with Tamil and English so far!
Conflating Hindi with Indian is a problem to be tackled. It is one I have personally encountered. But NEP is clear in its promotion of mother tongue till class 8 & another Indian language—which may or may not be Hindi.

Disappointing decision by the DMK and
@mkstalin
after all that talk about not being inclined to project family rule! Earlier, it was said that Stalin didn’t want his son to contest, but clearly nepotism has triumphed.
Hope the rumours that the AIADMK Govt is resisting a Marina Beach burial for Karunanidhi are untrue. It would be a betrayal of TN sentiment not to accord a ceremonial burial to Kalaignar, who has truly earned his iconic place alongside CN Annadurai!

. Conflating Hindi with Indian is implied in this exchange.This is the contradiction that the NEP must address in suggesting a 3-language formula. Hindi can’t be made compulsory but only an option. Southern languages can’t be undermined at any cost!
