Let’s not forget today is M F Husain’s birth anniversary also, a great son of India and an extraordinary artist. Those who hated him should see his series on Ramayana and Mahabharata done at the suggestion of Rammanohar Lohia.
I urge Shri Nitish Kumar to reconsider support to the
#CAB
in the Rajya Sabha. The Bill is unconstitutional, discriminatory, and against the unity and harmony of the country, apart from being against the secular principles of the JDU. Gandhiji would have strongly disapproved it.

Kolkata, who resigned to save jobs of his colleagues. An unsung hero of our times
If TV anchors get this giddy with delight when a politician follows them on Twitter, imagine the level of ecstasy if that politician shakes hands with them! Can we truly expect objectivity and professionalism from such people?
Father of compromised journalism, sanghi to the core Mr Chawla, who once upon a time was begging before Amar Singh not to expose him, is ideologically neutral now. Shameful.
In 19 out of 22 cases decided by Delhi fast track courts in last five months, AAP MLAs acquitted/discharged. Is there any other example of such a witch-hunt in India by Modi govt's machinery - MHA, LG & Police badly exposed :
@ElectionComm
is to be blamed. Never seen CEC and ECs working so blatantly for government. Leak, one old source told me, has happened from one of the EC’s office
Sad that a honourable bureaucrat, one of the best CECs, has come to defend CBSE chairperson. Sure she was a great Chief Electoral Officer, she is not in CBSE. Why did she not cancel examination despite knowing about leak the previous night?
What the IAS is good at: defending its own. What the IAS does not understand: taking responsibility. ... and also that an electoral officer and the head of a school exam board require different abilities.
You are right. He is desperate to get something. Did absolutely nothing for school education. Handed it over to private sector. Will be remembered for CBSE examination paper leaks.
Tweet in hope of post retirement assignment. This, after not acting against his deputy responsible for CBSE paper leak. Hoping to be rewarded for not acting against Gujarat cadre officer who is Modi-Shah favourite.
If there is one piece to be read today it has to be Ajaz Ashraf’s brilliant series on RSS and misrepresentation. He takes on Golwalkar, the master twister of facts.

Kishor is a Brahmin, not an OBC. His place in Bihar is in the BJP. And all of us know how much he helped Amarinder Singh, but he has a loyal bunch of drumbeaters among Delhi journalists. And we bemoan the influence of a certain chief of bureau...
UNFORTUNATE: MEA didn't protest China's refusal—in breach of two bilateral MOUs—to share upstream data on Brahmaputra and Sutlej or its cutting off Indian pilgrims' access to two sacred sites in Tibet. And now this, when India should be doing the opposite.
Interesting. Raut requested a copy of the Gita Press and the Making of Hindu India by Akshaya Mukul. Govt pleaders argued the book was scandalous and spoke against the govt and refused it.

Journalism in India is survived only by independent media at great personal risks and almost shoe string budgets. Kudos to them!
Circumstances around the death of CBI court judge,HP Loya, raises disturbing questions of murder, bribery & manipulation of institutions of our democracy at the highest levels. CPIM demands that a high level judicial enquiry be instituted immediately.
