If you support the rule of law you must condemn the attack on Arnab Goswami. You may or may not agree with his views but that’s not the point. We can’t become a society that condemns attacks on people we like & ignores assaults on those with different views. That’s hypocritical

Sharp Edge:The problem with the Netflix IC184 series is not that it pretends the hijackers were Hindus.The problem is that it obscures the fact that they were Pakistanis & that the hijacking was an ISI operation. And it tells lies to make India look bad

Netflix’s ‘IC 814’ is an expensive PR job for the ISI—shows R&AW torturing civilians

Nobody involved with the show seems to have any idea of how the intelligence agencies or the Government of India function. Or, for that matter, newspaper offices.

No matter how much rhetoric we hear about fighting Covid together there is always some Sanghi who finds a way to make it Hindu-Muslim. They can’t help it.Dung beetles need dung.They can’t survive without feeding on it.

The resumption of air travel-as-before raises obvious questions: Why is it ok to sit close to a stranger for three hours but not ok to sit at a restaurant table with your family? Or to ride pillion with your wife? Either we have 6 foot distancing or not. Can we have it both ways?

When the BJP says the Cong-JDS alliance is not democratic because they fought each other at the polls, journos counter with the BJP-PDP alliance. But how about the BJP alliance with Nitish who fought the election saying he would save secular India from the BJP? That’s democratic?

So Twitter is going to internationalise this and make it a free speech issue. It’s a shrewd strategy at a time when most global democracies are already concerned about limits to freedom in India. The government will have to decide if a full confrontation is worth it.

Sharp Edge:The problem with the Netflix IC814 series is not that it pretends the hijackers were Hindus.The problem is that it obscures the fact that they were Pakistanis & that the hijacking was an ISI operation. And it tells lies to make India look bad

Netflix’s ‘IC 814’ is an expensive PR job for the ISI—shows R&AW torturing civilians

Nobody involved with the show seems to have any idea of how the intelligence agencies or the Government of India function. Or, for that matter, newspaper offices.

At a time when freedom of expression is under attack, when comedians are locked up, when activists are arrested, when TV shows come under sustained attack, it’s good to know that our outgoing CJI thinks that the real problem is abuse of freedom of speech. Goodbye my lord.

Sharp Edge: Rahul Gandhi is wresting back control of his image from paid trolls & biased TV channels. As yesterday’s speech proved,after the successful Bharat Jodo Yatra, Rahul has demolished the Pappu caricature & is coming across as an effective leader

Why Rahul Gandhi is a threat to Modi-BJP now than he was ever before

It is nobody’s case that Rahul is now a great orator. Or a master politician. But it is hard to dispute that he tore into the Modi government in Parliament with intelligence and vigour.
