मृत्यु भोज करना व उसमें शामिल होना कानूनन दंडनीय है।
मानवीय दृष्टिकोण से भी यह आयोजन अनुचित है।
आइए मिलकर इस कुरूति को समाज से दूर करें, इसका विरोध करें।

's History Men. Ace historian Jadunath Sarkar was denied any award despite being recommended by Rajendra Prasad for Padma Vibhushan & Padma Bhushan. Answer isn't difficult to find.
While researching for my latest piece, I was struck by the way American liberal media went into torturous justification of police brutality on campus, or simply looked the other way.
This is not hypocrisy, but statecraft.
A TV channel is showing a film on Churchill to celebrate Independence Day. Incredibly insensitive, for the 'great' man was the only reason why some 3 million Indians died of famine in Bengal. Or is it the lack of historical indifference?

My review of
@ShashiTharoor
's book. A must read especially for its first half, where he is in an intellectual's avatar. The book falls flat only in second half when he writes like a politician.
Who is Papa CJ? What makes him click? Why did he leave his high-flying corporate job at IBM in London for stand-up comedy? He tells them all in an exclusive interview with me.
Why Bharat Rising is an imminent and unstoppable phenomenon.

@passportsevamea
Please look into the matter. My passport seems to have got stuck somewhere. I had applied for its renewal on September 27, 2023 (File no.: GZ1078606381223). Police verification was done within a week. But no progress since then. Look forward...
When an educated, former journalist, who has worked in English newspapers in Delhi, writes that a "perfect religion" was created some 1,500 years ago and it doesn't need any reform, you know where the problem lies.

You crack jokes on Shiva, Ram, Krishana, and you are feted worldwide as a liberal. You remind others about their glass houses, and you become intolerant, insensitive. Well done

Joe Biden might have bought a short-term reprieve for a long-term humiliation.
