Friday fury is frightening. Irrespective of what he has said or done Nupur Sharma has been thrown to the wolves. Political parties, including the BJP must stand upto mobs demanding extra judicial punishments. If they don't have the guts they don't deserve to serve.

In the name of "religious tolerance" Karnataka HC allows state to permit Ganesh Puja on a disputed maidan in Bengaluru. But WAQF board challenges order in SC despite the HC allowing the same land to be used for Ramzan festival & Bakrid. Onus only on Hindus to uphold sabka saath?

SC virtually says Modi was framed by "disgruntled" Guj officials "to keep pot boiling" through "ulterior design". Crucially, SC says ecosystem that "intriguingly" continued a 16 yr inquisition against Modi needs "to be put in dock". Lutyens will now respond by maligning bench.

Cases against journalists of @TIMESNOW that have only sought justice for those who are wronged are a bad precedent. The mighty may think they can weaken the resolve of the fearless at #TIMESNOW but they are wrong. @aamir_khan @ajaydevgn @karanjohar @KanganaTeam @BeingSalmanKhan

Pak Muslims now gather outside a Birmingham temple threatening Hindus. They are emboldened by an Indian ecosystem that justifies their bigotry as a crusade against fictitious Hindutva extremists. To appease votebank lobby backs killers of Hindus in Pak. Modern day Jaichands!

India 'largest hate machine' says Leena Manimekalai the latest poster girl of the new wokery. Notice how India remained 'inclusive' through 80s & 90s when Hindus were segregated & butchered by Islamists & Khalistanis. Liberals never raged against the 'hate machine' then. Why?

"Hit job" against Veer Savarkar's biographer Vikram Sampath falls flat. Delhi HC asks Twitter to remove historian Audrey Truschke's "defamatory" posts alleging plagiarism by Sampath. Truschke has been accused of white washing Aurangzeb's Hinduphobia by a number of commentators.

Some linked to political parties are celebrating the tragic news of a Mi 17 V5 crash with the CDS among 13 others onboard. These twisted minds are betraying their own fecklessness and doing a disservice to the uniform and the nation.

Indian team "takes a knee" at the T20 WC to protest racism under management orders. Wish the management had also protested cross border terror as Indian lives matter.

CJI counsels media on honesty. Advice is welcome. Honesty is a derivative of transparency & accountability. Journalists are open to scrutiny & aren't contemptuous of criticism. But just how open are judges to scrutiny in appointments, assets, bench rosters and even their words?

After Kedarnath, Kashi and Somnath now Mahakal gets a makeover. Dedicated to devotees, the restoration of the symbols of a "wounded" civilisation to their ancient glory marks the beginning of a Hindu renaissance.

SC has tied itself up in knots by not taking as clear and stern a stand against Kerala government as it did against Yogi sarkar. Its tentativeness points to a "sad state of affairs".
